Description Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 

Parrot's MINIKIT Slim hands-free car kit lets you take full advantage of your Bluetooth phone in your car. Its excellent sound quality allows you to converse without straining to hear, while you keep both hands on the wheel. You can also use the MINIKIT Slim for talking on the phone at home while preparing meals, using the computer, or doing any other tasks which require both hands.

You can take the MINIKIT Slim portable speakerphone with you in any vehicle. Slide it on your car's visor and use the 3-button keypad to dial, hang up, or change the volume coming through the MINIKIT's advanced flat-panel speaker.

The kit connects with your Bluetooth mobile phone automatically — it uses its own built-in voice-recognition software instead of your phone's, so you don't have to touch your phone while driving. The MINIKIT Slim can pair with up to five compatible phones or devices simultaneously.

Noise-reducing technology allows you to hear your callers clearly, and have a conversation in your car without raising your voice. An omnidirectional microphone ensures every word will get transmitted, and you can use your phone up to 33 feet away from the MINIKIT Slim. It's easy to use — just say a stored name and the MINIKIT Slim will dial the number. With select phones, you can store up to 150 different names from your address book.

The compact MINIKIT Slim fits in your pocket or bag, and it works with most Bluetooth mobile phones. Charge it up with the included car charger, and you'll get up to 10 hours of talk time, plus 20 days of standby power.

Note: Compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.

Good Product So Far September-12-11
Reviewer: Michael from Huntsville, AL  
Got this for my wife since she insists on talking on her cell while driving.  It was the easiest Bluetooth pairing I've ever done.  I didn't realize it at first, but it synced her entire contact list when I did the pairing.  I wish the factory installed Bluetooth in my SUV was this easy.  

The clip needs to be bigger or better able to handle thick, non-flexible sun visors- but otherwise it's easy to install.  Voice recognition seems to work fine, but we'll have to see after my wife makes more calls.  Call quality seems pretty good- a little static- but nothing too bad.  

I would recommend this to anyone without factory Bluetooth- or for someone who doesn't want to wear an earpiece.  For the price, it seems like a no-brainer.

Very EZ to enable & use.  With power cords included for USB & auto it's a snap  to stay connected.

Reviewer: frankt from Irvington, VA  
Added this to a vehicle used for work and am very pleased with the product.  Sound
quality is good for me and the person on the other end.  The Parrot synced well
with my Droid 2Global phone book and the voice recognition has worked well.  As
others have noted, it would be nice to have a light letting me know the system was
on, but this is not a serious issue overall and a little discipline around my use is
working.


 
Awesome Finally February-24-11
Reviewer: Michael from Los Angeles, CA  
Finally, a bluetooth hands-free car kit that works great.  I've gone through lots of these
and they have never satisfied me.  Too noisy, volume too low, bad quality.  The Parrot
Minikit Slim is fantastic.  Great quality phone call and great features which I'm now
learning about.  The only downside is, as others have said, there's no way to tell if it's on
or not, which is why I only gave 4 stars.  But with a 20 day stand-by time that's not really a
problem.  And as far as Crutchfield's service, I felt like my doorbell rang with the delivery
as I pushed the confirm button on the order....LOL.  Seriously, it got here really quickly
and their service is awesome.  And it's nice to know that they're there for me if I have a
problem.  Go Crutchfield!!!


 
MiniSlim kit February-03-11
Reviewer: Beth from northern Indiana  
Have had this for about one month.  So far it has worked fine, paired two phones without a
problem.  Fortunately I paired the main phone we use first so it gets priority by the unit when
both phones together in the car.  After putting in the phone books I went through the voice
recognition of each contact because I could not understand the digital voice.  In this way I
could figure out and re-record some of the entries in my voice and thereby recognize them.
Talking to the unit to make a call works well.
To tell if power on simply hit jog dial and lights come on if the unit is on, otherwise nothing
happens.  By accident I learned that when no phones are in the care and on the unit turns
itself of rather quickly.  This is a plus for power savings but annoying when running errands
and getting in and out of car as I have to rermember to turn it back on.
The power cord of the car charger is too short and the one I got did not seat securely
making it useless.  However the other charging cord with USB end works with my iPhone
charger for in house charging.  I purchased a car cigarette charger that accepts The USB
cable and it is long enough so now it can charge in the car if need be.  
The unit works as I was hoping so I would recommend it for cars like mine where the radio
is not blue tooth and you want an easy solution for a reasonable price because my next car
will likely have all of this built in.
