Has Cingular improved lately? I know about 5 or 6 years ago, they weren't too great. Cheap rates and fancy features don't mean squat to me if I can't get a signal.

Default scion XA and Parrot bluetooth carkit

I am looking at buying a Parrot CK3100 carkit but have been reading reviews and there is some indication that I will need a special wiring harness. Does anyone know anything about this and if I do need a harness where do I get one? thanks in advance

Neither of us care about cameras, games or music on our phones. We use them for business and making phone calls...period. The one feature I would LOVE to have on our next two phones is Bluetooth. I see it it as a safety feature for calls while driving. I would like to get either the "car kit" that installs with a mic and speaker or even just bluetooth wireless headsets. Now, here's my question:
If you have a bluetooth phone and a bluetooth headset, what is the proceedure to use them when you get in the car? Do I have to open the phone and activate anything? If my phone is on and closed in my coat pocket, how will the bluetooth work? Is there anything that has to be done other than just turning on the headset? How does it answer and place calls? Any answeres are a big help. Thanks.
I'll try to keep this as short as possible, but you got a few questions, so here goes. First, aside from Blackberries, almost every phone with bluetooth is going to come with a camera, just the way it goes. For the car kit, go with a company called Parrot. If you can't find them, Motorola's car kit is still decent. Once you get the headset, carkit (I'm guessing you want both?), and the phone, you just need to sync them up. Once that's done most phones have an option where you can set it to "Always Trust" a certain device, such as your car kit. So as far as what you need to do when you get in your car; open the phone and turn on Bluetooth, and once the car is running, the phone will pair with the carkit and your off and running. Most kits are generally better/easier for answering a call than making them. Usually to make a call, you still need to pull up the address book in your phone. Having the phone in your pocket will not have any effect on performance, Bluetooth has a range of approximately 30ft. Of course, to call someone you'll need to pull it out of your pocket Hope this answers most of your questions.
