I have the AUX plug in my 2011 SV so there was no need for me to spend the extra money on the other Parrot's since they all include Bluetooth music (which I do not feel works as well as being hard wired through the AUX).
The display of my phone tells me everything I need to know including pictures so the visual of the other Parrot's is also not a must and actually less then what my phone can do. My HTC Droid phone is mounted so I can see it while driving.
I bought my CK3000 through Crutchfield. They have their own harnesses for less than $30 and Crutchfield sells you their merchandise with a tech support guarantee; however, I did not need to call them since the install instructions that came with the package from Crutchfield also has pictures and good verbal instructions on how to get to the back of the radio.
Install was easy and fool proof since the connectors will only fit in their perspective male and female fittings. There is no way you can use a wrong plug. I had to guess a bit on the mute wire but I used the #2 because they were both yellow and it worked fine. Hardest thing was finding a location for the remote since it is hard wired. I ended up putting it next to the shifter between the cup holder and the flip up tray next to the shifter. It is nice and flat there and easily accessible from the armrest. Also the wire tucks in nicely underneath (I did use my Dremmel tool to carve out a very small notch for the wire so that the plastic cup holder fitting would not stand out). The mic I placed on the steering column because it was very easy to tuck its wire away and underneath the steering column. The placement of the mic is perfect and it picks up your voice nicely (see pics below).
I velcroed the Bluetooth receiver box (control unit) on top of the storage tray where the AUX input is. It slid right into place when I reinstalled it. The wires along with the harness have plenty of room back there as well.
