About to get a Parrot kit fitted and wondered if anyone had some good suggestions/photos etc of where to position the LCD screen ?
Cheers

This sounds good - if you get a chance post a pic up pls - ta !I fitted mine myself.. Quite easy to be honest..
I mounted the bracket upside down above the 'coin' tray under the climate control unit etc. Then the screen slides ontop and thanks to the spinning back on it sits the right way up.
Don't have any pics am afraid. I will try and get some later if you want?
Seemed like a good idea to me, as all the cables are hidden and if I switch cars you wont be able to see the sticky mark.

what does a parrot kit actually do ....???
Can the parrot display via the DIS and use the MFSW?
I've got the external mics mounted in front of the instrument cluster which do the job nicely.
Thanks matey, quite like the look of it down there although I don't have the non-smoking pack so not sure it will work.
A parrot is a bluetooth car kit, with the one pictured above - you also get bluetooth audio streaming, so you can play your MP3's through your stereo speakers. Etc
Thanks Neil but going to have a look at one of the other guys at work who has it installed in his Beamer tomorrow.Just had my kit taken out the Golf, i can let you have a look at mine and have a wee play about with it.
And at long last my car i here, should get it back end of this week or early next

Although I can get it foc I'm already having second thoughts as I like a nice tidy cabin and not sure it's something I really need !
I sound nuts, I know !
Which model Parrot?
I have the 6100... and a mate who managed to fabricate some custom mounts to avoid drilling/sticking stuff on the dash - fitment pic's below:
Custom airvent to fasten bracket to:
Custom centre consol bracket to fasten controller to:
Really pleased with the centre console piece - paint match is perfect so looks very OEM!
As for the car kit, it's pretty good, intuitive and can even pick up the music tracks on my phone and play them through the car stereo (sound quality isn't bad either!!!). Would recommend it!
Looking very very good indeed! :thumbsup:
GF has 6100 installed on her 2nd car but I find it suffers badly from road noise - particularly on motorway. Makes the conversation sound 'muffled'. (admitedly 17" runflats probably dont help!). My Audi GSM bluetooth sounds much better. Just wondering how you find the 6100?
And how annoying is the robotic speech!!
Excellent install jamiekip and just what I'm looking for, any chance you can get hold of some more brackets, mine has the Cig lighter too.
Ive got the ck3100. small enough to fit in the front ashtray, fits perfect, easy to get to, and no one knows ive got one when the lid is down
