Given the access to the stock radio unit is difficult/scary/impossible - wouldn't it be easier to wire the Parrot Bluetooth handsfree setup to the HiFi amp in the boot ? Any idea which wires go to where please ? Any idea if/how the audio quality will suffer?








9switchbox) to the HiFi

 

OK, let's try it different way - anybody has a wiring diagram for the HiFi amp and maybe links to somebody who sells the compatible connectors/plugs please ?

Thanks

 

Do a search here in this forum. Those wiring diagrams have been posted here before. It may be in this thread.

 

Just buy the wiring harness for the car. Go to www.parrotkits.com
Getting behind the stock stereo isn't that hard; it just take some time.

 

Does that harness allow you to use the MFSW?

 

Is the parrot harness plug-n-play like the ones available from NewMiniStuff.com or do you have to actually hack into your car's wiring to install it (which is never a good thing IMHO)?

 

The Parrot harness($54.95) was designed to work with the OEM connectors in the mini and the ISO connectors on the Parrot Bluetooth kits. There is no wire splicing; it's just plug-and-play.

The harness itself does not integrate the MFSW. You need to purchase the Parrot MultiCAN ($98.14) unit to have the CK3000 or CK3100. The MultiCAN connects to the harness and the Bluetooth unit. If you have microcontroller skills, you can easily design a system that reads the CAN bus signals from the MFSW then sends them to the Parrot kit.
