I did a search on both these models and people had good things and bad to say about both units. However I didn't see any reviews from people who have had both. Either the IHF 8... or the IHF 1000 verse the parrot model.

Which is easier to install? (least important)

Which has the best interface/options (easiest and most practical to use)

What would you recommend.

I have an auto dealers license so I would need to move it every few months. The vehicle it would be installed in would be a 2001 GMC yukon denali (bose) or a 2002 escalade (also has bose).

I own one of each. The Motorola is certainly easier to install, but in my opinion the Parrot sounds far better than the Motorola. I get a lot of complaints about how the mic sounds on the Motorola, and I have complained about the same thing when I talk to my wife, but with the Parrot I never get complaints.

What model parrot did you use? How hard would this be for someone who has never replaced a head unit or any speakers of any kind? I have done probably 300+ remote start install's but never anything with stereo's. Install would be in a 2001 denali with factory bose speakers and factory head unit.

I can't remember which model # it is, It has been replaced by the evolution, the cheap one. But I have installed several different models and as far as wiring, they are pretty much the same. If you use the Cell-site harness it is super easy and once it is wired it will be easy to put into another GM with that harness, as long as it uses the same harness. If you can do remote starts, this will be a cake walk.

The Parrot CK3100 is by far the better of the 2 car kits. The ck3100 has upgradable software, better mic, lcd display, a louder output for external speaker, and a controller that is not easily broken.

The IHF1000 has a great voice activation feature that the parrot line doesnt have. Meaning that you can dial individual numbers by using your voice. I have also experienced some issues with microphone performance on this car kit. This car kit seems to wok better with Motorola phones. The controller will easily break if you have a heavy finger when pushing the buttons on a constant basis.
