If you've ever had a car kit fitted, chances are that the engineer who fitted it paired your phone to it for you and it 'just worked' without you having to do anything to set it up. The only downside to this of course, is when you upgrade your phone you're left with a car kit thats looking for an old phone, and a new phone that can't find the car kit.

If you're anything like me, user manuals get thrown in the back of a drawer, never to be seen again, so figuring out how to get your new phone to work with your Parrot car kit could be quite a challenge.
