Right a little update on the annoying noise.
Took the stereo out and disconnected all the wires and put the radio on back seat,switched the ignition on and the f*cking noise is still there.

Cant understand coz it still coming through the speakers.  :evilgrin: :confused:

The problem with the designated driver program, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.

Not sure how the Parrot is wired, but my guess is the entire unit needs to be removed as it probably gets it +12V on its own source and won't require the head unit to be installed.

That noise would do my head in as well.

Possibly an aftermarket immobiliser?

I noticed when the noise happens phone comes up on the stereo display.
Also paired my phone up to the parrot bluetooth and when someone rings me it does actualy ring through the speakers,but coz i havent got the lcd display i cant answer the call and speak through the parrot handsfree.

I used to get the same noise with my Octavia vRS when my Parrot kit was playing up!!

It wouldn't do it when the Parrot was working correctly only when it was faulty, I never got to the bottom of the fault before I PX'd the car.

If it was me i'd rip out the kit and bin it  :wink: :wink:

Ive been reading on other forums and there should be a ble box with all wires connected to it.
Where would this be located?

think your fine the noise is a parrot produced fault warning telling you its has a problem with the kit  (this being the display is not attached) i had this exact same thing happen to me with a part ex at my work either totally remove the phone kit or fit the missing part this will sort it
