Hard to install Parrot bluetooth?

Is it hard to install a parrot integrated bluetooth? I want to get a bluetooth in my car and have seen the visor ones but I don't think those speakers would be of very good quality.. What is everyone's preference? I don't want to spend too much, but willing to pay for better quality. Is it possible for my to install it myself?

There are typically a few wires you have to tap into so unless you feel comfortable playing around with the OEM audio system, I would have it professionally done.

well then maybe i'll stick with the ones you put on your visor.. can anyone recommend some good brands or specific models? I've found these, but don't know which would be best.

also some are FM transmitters, but won't I have to be on the correct channel to answer the calls and won't it have bad sound quality?

I found this link helpful when looking for hand-free calling solutions - C|Net Hands-Free Solutions

It goes through all possible solutions and gave me some insights to some cheaper solutions as well.

The parrot units are nice and work great. If you are running the bose system you need to run the wires from the unit to the amp though. They have to be tapped after the amp or the bluetooth is too loud. They are worth it though.

i'm not going integrated anymore so I want the best quality sound and user interface of the visor clips and parrot seems to be a good brand.. but I also found this one
