Circuit City Launches the Parrot Car Kit Line Nationwide

AUSTIN, Texas--Parrot, Inc. (Paris:PARRO) today announced that one of the largest consumer electronics retailers in the world, Circuit City, has launched nationwide the company’s hands-free Bluetooth® car kit line.

“Having Circuit City launch the Parrot car kit portfolio nationwide will help consumers more easily find the hands-free Bluetooth car kits they want. And, Parrot will also be the largest line of installed Bluetooth car kits that Circuit City offers,” said Ed Valdez, president and COO of Parrot Inc.

“With an increasing number of states banning the use of hand-held cell phones while driving, Circuit City will be well-positioned to respond to consumers’ needs to make a smart choice in using hands-free car kits with the wireless convenience of Bluetooth technology,” said Valdez. “Already New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and several cities require hands-free devices in vehicles, and by July 1, 2008, California and Washington will join them. This will create a huge market totaling nearly 80 million consumers and more than 65 million vehicles.”

The Parrot CK3000, Parrot CK3100 LCD and Parrot 3200 LS-COLOR are professionally installed car kits that are hard-wired into a vehicle’s audio system and offer true hands-free, voice-controlled phone capability, excellent audio quality and automatic mute of the vehicle stereo when making or taking a call.

The Parrot CK3000 has a small control unit that allows it to be mounted discretely on the instrument panel, and features audible caller ID when voice tags have been assigned to contacts in its phone book. The Parrot CK3100 LCD features a combination control/display unit that displays caller ID, if voice tags have been assigned to the contacts in its phone book, while the Parrot 3200 LS-PLUS has color caller ID, and displays both the phone number and caller’s photo if they have been assigned voice tags.
