I've upgraded for twice in my installer/solder for free, but you can upgrade by yourselve. This is what Parrot says:
To make an upgrade, you have to use the flash kit.
This one costs 53.36€ VAt excluded.
Otherwise, please send us the conrtol box to the folowing adress :
PARROT SA
174, Quai de Jemmapes
75010 Paris,
France

I have used the new software (v2.4) for the past week and the sync now does work but only when you go to the parrot menu. When you try to enter the menu, it will try to sync then. Everything seems to work fine except the word spotting function. This is where you can say a word (such as telephone) and the kit will mute the stereo and allow you to voice dial or answer an incoming call. I can't seem to get this to work at all. It'll be interested to know whether you guys have the same problems.

I wish I found this forum a while ago. I have a CK 3000 (v2.20) and it worked great with my T68i (I do not know which firmware it was, I bought it in July 2002). I upgraded my T68i to R5D and then all the sh*t began.....
I send the CK3000 to Parrot for upgrading and was promised the newest software version (v2.40) but somehow they send me a completely new unit (ok that was nice) but with v2.32, so sending it to France had little use since I still cannot use it (although it makes a nice paparweight on my desk). PLUS I read that someone had flashed his CK3000 via a cable to v2.40 and this does not solve all the issues, it does operate with voicedialling and syncing (which you need to initiate manually BTW) but starting and ending a call through speech is not supported, the BT-connection is always on now (resulting in more powerusage and thus draining the battery) and some other minor problems.
Also upgrading of your CK3000 with a BT-dongle cannot be done (believe me I tried), you need another CK3000 control box which is connected via cable with your PC, this 'updater-CK3000' then needs special software to be able to upgrade the other CK3000.
I read that SE has released R6A, does anybody know if this will bring a solution to this problem? Has anybody already upgraded to R6A and tested it with the CK3000?
Also I found two bugs in the CK3000 and was wondering if other users have experienced them also:
- If I and the other party press the 'end' button at the same time (this happens more often then you would think) the CK3000 locks up, not releasing the phone mute and is completely inoperable. I really need to cut the power off and on to get it working again.
- If editing contacts on my existing entries it sometimes does not sync properly with the CK3000, resulting in double entries and I need to delete and add the contacts another time.

Well having read all this, I think I'll just stick to my R2B firmware. Afterall the new releases dont improve the phone that much. Also upgrading my CK3000 is out of the question (hoped I could do it just using a BT dongle). Parrot had this to say:
Hello ERike,
The flash kit costs 53.36€ VAT excluded.
To ship it to South Africa, we'd have to send it by Fedex.
The cost is 51,60€

Hmmm 51.60 Euros just for shipping!!!!!! That is ludicrous. Disadvantages of living so far from other techie countries. *sigh* Anyhow... i'll just stick with the current config until someone can tell me SE released firmware that fixes the incompatibilities with CK3000.

Here is the official word from Parrot regarding word spotting and T68i
Hello MArk,
The latest SW 2.40 does use the wordspotting with the former mobiles like T39 and T68.
For the T68i, the wordspotiing could not be supported,
However, we'll make the possible to have it back because we know how important it is or the CK3000 users,
Best Regards,

So I guess they will eventually support it but when is the question.

Does the caller id function also works with v2.40 again (if someone calls you your own voicesample of his name is played back)? And can you use the 'work'/'mobile'/'GSM' feature of the adressbook? Because the way you describe it it seams to me that you cannot use the Parrot menu and this is needed to use these feature.

I do know that with V2.40 on the CK3000 it does support Work, Mobile etc. I am not to sure about caller id announcment. I'll check it here in a bit and repost.

Has anyone used the T69i and CK300 combination in the US? Any problems? I have the T68i and am thinking of getting the CK300.
If you are in the US and have this setup, where did you get the CK300 from? I know i can order it from expansys but my last few orders took forever to ship even though it was in stock so am not too happy with them
