Sounds cool. I'm using a Parrot CK 3000 evo. Nice unit, but was a ***** to install. Had to have it done by pros.

I'm trying to find out info about these as well. This guy in Montreal seems to be selling them for a good price: http://www.bluetoothmirrors.com. I do see some others on eBay, but can't find any reviews.

I have the exact same model...(http://www.bluetoothmirrors.com) bought it from a guy who sells them here in Montreal for $109.00. I picked it up myself so I saved on shipping.

Here are my thoughts:

Mirror is a bit bigger than the car review mirror, needs getting used to.

I find that the mirror is tinted a darker color than the car mirror...at night it's a bit dark (note that my car windows are tinted).

The sound quality is pretty good...although with the earpiece I find that I pick up lots of static/noise. The sound quality from the radio is awful. But I don't think I'd ever use it since the mirror speaker is good enough.

It's easy to use and I like that you could transfer the call from the bluetooth mirror to the phone and vice versa.

That's all for now.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but in case anyone is interested, the mirror at www.bluetoothmirrors.com/ (http://www.bluetoothmirrors.com/) appears to be the exact same model that DealExtreme carries for $71.99. (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8496) I'm thinking of getting one and this appears to be a decent deal.

Any specific advantage over a BT headset? Other than comfort?

Not looking like a reject from Buck Rogers?

Many new car radios these days have bluetooth. I got my Sony one for $229 and although I could have had it installed for $50 I chose to DIY (it ain't rocket science).

I think to install these BT mirrors you have to take down the headliner and tap into the light fixture. They won't automagically turn your radio down either.
