Great, so it sounds like I could probably take my chances on most of the Kenwood bluetooth range and as long as they can accept IR codes then chances are I'll be ok. Thanks
Just had a load of (expected) car bills: MOT, major service, car tax and insurance, so I'm feeling rather poor right now. I'll keep an eye out and see what comes up second-hand and if no luck I might buy new come next pay day.
One more question... do these Kenwood units come with an external mic for the parrot hands-free calling function, or is that something you need to buy as an extra?
