I've seen some posts about the Parrot on this board, but nothing recent and nothing very specific... I'm planning to put a Parrot 3200 into my 2005 LX E and into my fiancee's 2007 Tucson. Any comments about the sound quality and usability of this system? Anyone want to tell me where they mounted the little screen, or how they ran the wires? Thanks in advance..

I have a 3200 installed in my E, it's been there about a year now I guess.
I like the overall concept and it really is the only solution that I found that actually works. I have no issues with either the functionality of it nor do I have any problem actually hearing a conversation.
I do think they Parrot folks could have written a better manual, but that's just my opinion. It seems there are a lot of things that I didn't learn about in the manual but discovered through trial and error.
Here's one of the best sources (http://parrot.helpserve.com/) for information about installing the unit. Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for there.
I have had mine located in several different places, presently I have it mounted to the underside of the overhead storage bin directly in front of the mirror. I'll see if I have a picture somewhere (I'm at work right now so I may not have one).
Wires are all behind the dash, most in the head unit itself. I did splice into the speakers at the output of the amp so I have wires run from the radio to the amp behind the plastic above the glove box. Additionally I have the 'display' and microphone wires run along the same path, and up the "A" pillar under the 'roof' panel and out the hole at the mirror.
I'll get some pictures rounded up and post as soon as I can.
I think it's a good setup all in all.
