Ages ago I fitted a Parrot CK3100 bluetooth kit to my car and it has worked well. I hid the control unit in the ashtray so that everything was hidden...........However, being a perfectionist I wanted my steering wheel buttons for the phone to work and therefore yesterday I purchased a Connects2 CTPPAR015 kit in order to integrate my Parrot kit with the car.
The kit shown below is a fairly heafty lump of cables but it worked a treat after fixing one snag.
The fitting of the kit entailed removing all of the centre dash, airvents, comand unit, passenger footwell carpet, and uncovering the ecu cubby hole in the footwell (hidden under a great big metal plate). The methodology for most of that disassembly is in my gallery thread.
The kits limited instructions just about sufficed however the one snag I mentioned was that having conncted everything up Comand came on then went off again. The solution (after half an hour of playing about) was that the two orange power cables that are in the top left of the quad connector in the cars loom, were not extended into the connects2 kit. The fix was easy once I realised what the problem was- I removed the clip holding the two cables in the cars loom and moved then to the new wiring (fortunately the orange cables were just long enough).
Job done. Totally hidden bluetooth integration with my phone. I just press the steering wheel button and the system beeps, then I just say who I want to ring, it repeats the name and does it.
