I just installed the Parrot blue tooth kit. Its the CK3100 with the Multican
connector and Ouickconnect harness(parrotkits.com) for plug and plug in back of radio. I did notice a thicked reddish wire that was bundled with rubber band but was not marked not sure on it. I cannot get my parrot head unit
to light or power up. Is there a batt+ wire that comes from quick connector
I need to power up. Or do I get my power from the Kbus wire. Which on all
Minis is pin#9 its the grey with the yellow tracer. eVerything plugs together nicely.
the k-bus wire coming out of quick connect was a green wire. and from
my parrot unit was a light purple wire it said Kbus right on it. So I connected it together. there also was a pink wire that didn't have any kind of
markings on it. But it did have a male plug connector. Do you have any idea
what that is for?. Well I assumed that 1st wire I mention was batt+ so I
scotch locked to it to a power on wire. No change. all fuses were ok.
I reisntalled the radio. Is there an actual fuses block on the quick connector
harness. I didn't bother to look before I installed it back in place.
So now eveything is back together but non functional any help
would be appreciated.

Guido out!

 

Well I am glad I can Talk to myself here. Since no else is interested
But the Parrot Blue tooth Kits are Awesome. I figured everything ou.t works great with my Steering wheel. Its All good. now.
A fraction of the cost for OEM looks cleaner and works Better.

Will take pictures in the Am. Just bought all in local places in the usa
total cost for all items

$310.00 No programming necessary all plug and play.
New Calif Laws is inforced next month.
unit is the Parrot CK3100 a good investment.

 

I am interested! Can you detail the parts you bought and the places you got them?


I have a 2008 MCS with multifunction wheel but no nav, is this anything like your setup? Did you install the display or use the existing in car displays?

Thanks,

Chris
