Se trataba de instalar una unidad Parrot de la serie MKI, y a simple vista no revestía ningún secreto, pero no debía ser igual que la gran mayoría. Este montaje tenía que integrarse en el interior del salpicadero de tal manera que no destacara del resto, que su funcionamiento fuera cómodo y sobre todo que no desentonara con la estética conservadora de la marca Volvo.

Toronto, April 22 2009: with Bill 118, Ontario joins Quebec and Nova Scotia in the fight against distraction at the wheel. These provinces in Canada work to ban drivers from using hand-held cellphones. Only hands-free in-car devices and Bluetooth headsets are allowed.
Fun fact, Quebec earned about $500000 on fines to drivers in 2008: a powerful incentive to buy a Bluetooth hands free car kit, according to United Press International!
For Ontarian drivers who want to comply with the law, reduce driver distractions and stay reachable in the car, Parrot offers the largest range of Bluetooth hands free solutions on the market.
There are a number of hands free solutions out there, but some aren’t as “hands-free” as others. Only true voice-activated devices keeps hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, thus avoiding all manipulation-related dangers. Sound quality is also crucial, because to hear and be heard is what it’s all about.
Parrot hands free systems and car kits are sold through at Bell Canada, Rogers and other retailers in Canada and online on Parrotshopping Canada.

“Your cell phone law sucks” billboard on Highway 101
A Parrot hands-free system solves Mr. Grant’s headset problem!
When we Parrot folks saw Mr. Grant’s billboard on Highway 101 in Palo Alto, we had to call him to explain that hands-free is not all about Terminator Bluetooth® headsets… so we installed a Parrot fitted hands-free system in his truck for him to truly feel the difference.
And we thought Highway 101 drivers also needed to know about the Parrot alternative to the headset, so Parrot created the above billboard to be put up at the exact same location as M. Grant’s billboard.
Indeed, here at Parrot, we are proud to propose the largest range of truly hands-free voice-activated systems: so forget useless Bluetooth headsets and go legal thanks to portable or fitted hands-free systems from Parrot.
But what is a true hands-free system?
Sure, Bluetooth headsets are the cheapest solution out there…. but at what cost? With poor sound quality and battery life, physical discomfort due to continual strains on the ear and inevitable manipulation, the headset isn’t as “hands-free” as it claims to be. And respecting the California hands-free law is not about fines, it’s about reducing distractions linked to phone conversations to a minimum while allowing drivers to stay reachable, even in their car.
Only true voice-activated systems allow you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road and keep cell phone conversations-related distractions to a minimum. And with Parrot’s new user-independent voice recognition, no need to pre-record voice tags anymore, so you can go hands-free right then and there.
Sound quality is also crucial, simply because the utmost important aspect of any phone call is to hear and be heard. Parrot’s core expertise lies in mastering complex digital signal processing technologies in the very noisy and constraining environment of a moving car. Concentrate on the road instead of struggling to hear what your contact is trying to tell you….
Installed on the audio system of the vehicle, a fitted Parrot hands-free system transfers all your conversations directly onto the car speakers, for crystal clear sound quality. Magic words, voice recognition and voice synthesis make it all as easy as saying “Grant” or “Pick up”. The Parrot takes care of the rest.
Portable speakerphones are also a less pricy alternative to Bluetooth headsets: easily fitted on the sun-visor, the incorporated microphone picks up your voice while the speaker faithfully reproduces your caller’s voice. No need to touch the device, it takes care of everything for you.
Like M. Grant, forget your Bluetooth headset and switch to a Parrot hands free system. So you can stay legal and drive responsibly.
