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  :happy2:

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.  :happy2:

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  :happy2:

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...  :happy2:

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 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 :P
