Installing Parrot hands free

[fossie]

Can anyone give me some advice on what's needed to install a hands free. Been having a read and there's a few threads about optic cables etc etc so not sure whether it's worth while.

On my previous cars it was just a matter of buying the right SOT lead however this looks possibly more complicated.
Thanks in advance

It's a lot more complicated, and it depends on your MMI version. However there are no most cable to modify on a parrot kit.

Mine is the bog standard version mate. No phone or sat nav. Basic isn't it called?

You will need something like this, no idea how it wired or works. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Freisprec...833837?hash=item5d50e0462d:g:y1YAAOSw6EhUPTiB

Thanks again mate. Any idea as to where you get access to the wiring?

Oh are the leads different if my car is a S Line model?

 

[B5NUT]

s-line is just styling it's has nothing to do with the cars wiring.

 

[B5NUT]

search elsawin on ebay.

Does the the Sline have Bose. Would this that affect the wiring at all?

 

[B5NUT]

not as standard on the sline, do you have a Bose amp on the left hand side of the boot?

I will check that first thing in the morning mate

 

[fossie]

Yes it does have the amplifier in the boot

 

[B5NUT]

Is it labeled Bose or is it just a gray amp? either way you're going to need a harness like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parrot-le...391974?hash=item1c3fdadba6:g:90YAAOxyOalTX7qi

Thanks mate. That's great. That lead seems the correct one. I take that it the harness picks up the power and sound from the amplifier.

Would I need an extension to the harness to enable me to fit it.

Thanks again
