Any experience with Parrot BT Hands-Free?

I've been looking around the internet a lot lately for a decent hands-free kit. Headsets are fine, but plugging it in and putting it on is an inconvenience equal to not using one at all. I've got a Sprint Mogul that supports audio streaming over bluetooth and so far the only reasonably priced kit that can do audio and hands-free is the https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) . My wife is also interested in a BT hands-free kit, but her phone can't stream audio. I was thinking the https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) For her. Anyone have any other recommendations or some experience with those models?

I'm not afraid of modifying the harnesses or wiring. My car is a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 with the factory Bose CD changer (non-nav) and hers is a 2002 Kia Spectra with an aftermarket Alpine with AI-Net.
 
$150?! Good lord.

A windshield mount might work just as well if your phone has a decent speakerphone.
 
Why not just get a bluetooth ear piece...I mean, if its that much of a hassle to just tuck it over your ear, are you sure you should be driving?
 
Well, the MK-6000 does Bluetooth stereo so I can play music off my phone. I feel like a massive tool whenever I wear a BT earpiece, so no thanks.
 
I researched the Parrots. The issue with them is that they need to be installed by a professional and the 2nd issue is that the instructions suck and pretty much any professional will not touch them with a 10ft pole. If they do, be prepaired to spend a small fortune to have it installed. You could get the PNP harness that is for the device but it costs 175.00 by itself and then you still have to have it professionally installed.

My recommendation and what I ended up getting is:

This little thing is cheap and works wonderful. I talk to my wife every day on the way home (about 40m) and I charge it like once every 2 weeks or so. The noise cancellation is wonderful and my wife says I sound like I'm in a tunnel but she hear NO background noise at all. I have it clipped to my visor close to the window and I can have my window down and she only hears me.

The devise also self adjusts the volume so its really nice.
