Looking at about £200 installed though :(

I have a Parrot kit.

Whilst they're compatible with all phones that have Bluetooth, they don't always work 100%. For example, every time I disconnect my phone (turn engine off and key out ignition) it resets the volume.

This is device dependent, but no, you can't have 2 phones connected at the same time. But you can have 2 phones 'registered' on the kit, but only 1 will connect. So 2 different drivers with 2 different phones can use it, but not at the same time.

Installation is a piece of piss, unless you have a complicated, 'modern' dash set up. i.e in a Corsa it's easy :)

well obviously you'll have to mute the stereo but the sound quality is superb!

was going to get one of the wired in ones but i have seen the clip in ones are so much cheaper, was just concerned over noise quality and muting the stereo.
