Does anyone know if the interface wire harness kit between parrot CK3000 and Mini cooper MFSW is available in U.S.?

As long as your phone supports the Bluetooth handsfree and or headset profiles regardless of the type of phone or who made it, then it should work with one of these kits. Bluetooth is an international standard that is the same no matter what country you're in or who makes your phone.

I believe that you have no problems for using the Parrot Evo kit interface in U.S.

The only place that I know of to get the harness to fully integrate the Parrot kit with the MFSW and MINI audio system is from New MINI Stuff in the UK. They pretty much build the kits.

I already have the Parrot CK3000 Evo kit but need the wiring harness to connect it to my MFSW. I know I can buy it from newministuff.com but it is too expensive there. Was wondering if you can buy the harness in U.S. or if there is a wiring diagram to hardwire my current Harmon Kardon stereo harness.

Don't know of anybody else who does... Newministuff designed that harness which is probably why you can't get it anywhere else...

I finally got my wire harness to connect the Parrot CK3000 Evo kit and also the harness for MFSW control. I was able to install the kit with instructions on newministuff.com (https://www.newministuff.com/new/ind...on=13&diyid=12), but I was unable to connect the MFSW wiring to the stereo.

Can somebody help me with the wiring diagram on how to connect the MFSW harness to HK mini cooper stereo?

Hello Mikey,

I did follow the instructions on the link you provided but got stuck on step # 4. With the harness kit i got a small bluetooth box (not the blue box) for MFSW that has the black control connector, five or six color coded wires, and in the back of the box there is 8 small on/off (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) switches. But, I am not sure how to connect this box to get the MFSW working.

I was able to find the connection diagram for the MFSW box with the toggle switches. It says for BMW cars put number 7 switch in ON position. What is CAN BUS H line? CAN BUS L line? K-BUS line?

Yikes - thats not one of my interfaces.
Mine has no switches to adjust, & it just plugs straight into your Mini - no messing

woot, I had a conversation with my car tonight, Thanks Mike, Speedy and all!

Parrot Evo Kit - $86 + shipping
Handsfree Kit from newministuf - $165 + shipping

Installation was not too bad--getting a wire under your headliner and across to your downtubes without scratching/bending/snarling anything is a bit of a pain. Sound is very good in the car--the person on the phone listening to you has a bit of the 'speakerphone effect' but that's pretty unavoidable unless you want the mic up next to your face.

quite satisfied...very cool!
