Has anyone had this option fitted to their i30 yet? I have and the only annoying aspect, as it is linked to the car's audio system, is that each time you start the car there's a loud click (and I mean loud) a few secconds after staring. The only option is to switch off the audio system before you turn the ignition off, otherwise you're in for a bit of a scare the next time you start up.
Took it back to the dealer that fitted it out and they said that ours was the first car they had fitted it to and suggested we wait until the next service where they may have some others done (so they hopefully had some reference material on similar problems). Other than that the Bluetooth feature works fine.

The guys at the dealers put it in for me when I ordered the car. They told me they had some problems installing it, because it was their first kit in an i30 - didn't know about the wiring of the radio. But in the end they did a good job.
I've no loud 'click' in the radio. I only hear a 'beep' as a sign that the phone is detected by the carkit.
Here's a picture: (it's the thing on the right...

I don't think you can get a Parrot in Austrailia.
Check out this site: http://www.parrot.com/usa (http://www.parrot.com/usa)
They have a lot of countries to switch to, but not Aus.
Maybe E-bay is an option?
I think you have one for less than €200. Don't know what that is in Aus $. (more than 3 years ago I paid more than €300 for it, but they got cheaper with the years...)

I use the Bluetooth through my GPS. Was mainly asking for our other members.
Your estimate converts to more than A$400. There are some much cheaper options available in Australia (but not integrated as far as I can tell)

*I think it beeps if it's not connected to a phone or I've not connected the head unit, I can't quite honestly say, but I know it beeps sometimes - it doesn't emit a loud click thank God.
