Parrot into a MK6 golf

You will be fine routing the mic and controll unit wiring before testing.

Its actually easier than it all looks mate, you'll be fine

Don't forget to put a cable tie around the main Parrot connector which goes into the blue box, they're notorious for coming away. Also, do another check once all the boxes, etc. are in place, prior to refitting the radio as connectors sometimes come loose when being positioned.

[damoegan]

Is it done yet? 

[rich83]

LMAO... no... lauras gone out in the car to work! Will set to work in the AM. 

Multimeter at the ready.

No need for a metrer mate. IIRC you have 3 wires going to the cig lighter. A earth (brown), a live (cant remember the colour but it has a diferent coloured stripe through it) and I think it has one other thin wire..

You need the thick one with the two colours on it 

[rich83]

OK... ill test it just to be sure before I start connecting things up. 

[rich83]

Done...



Switch live testing
















Had to reverse the orange and red fused leads to get the unit to power down correctly.

Thanks for your assistance Damian...  

[rich83]

Ive just realised that its covering the hazard switch.... Robin is gonna do his nut!!!  

[damoegan]

 

Glad its all done mate.. Told you it was easy 

[rich83]

Yes it was easy... just a bit fiddly.

Im seriously thinking about getting one for mine to replace my old parrot kit. the ISO loom is already there so will be easy to swap over.

I'm currently running one of the VW bluetooth units and quite like it

Ahh its that a 'Bury' ?

I looked dat the VW Bluetooth Touch Phone Kit things only thing putting me off was the fact the bars have green on them, would suit the car so much better if it was red! Maybe that's just me being picky though! Do they run on firmware? Might take a look see if theres anything that can be fiddled with to make it red haha
