997...anyone fitted a Parrot bluetooth kit?

[turboman786]

As above..... need to get a proper bluetooth system in my 997 and the Parrot is cheap and very effective...

I'm probably going to go for one of the simpler Parrot devices and was wanting to see where in the car others have fitted theirs....

Pics/experiences would be most welcomed...

Hi,

It looks messy and can not mute the system or come through the cars original speaker system.

Get a Mobridge Bluetooth kit...£660 plus vat fitted. I know it's expensive but it all works !

How come it cant be muted or use the car speakers?...I thought that was the whole point of the Parrot kit?...

I'd love to get the Mobridge but it is a bit on the pricey side for me....

Hi

I've had the Parrot fitted to my 2007 997 TT.

The main issue is that it uses the Parrot's own amplifier and not the Bose one so the music playback is pretty grim. I have a long commute and use it to play audiobooks and for that purpose it is fine.

Apart from that it uses the car's speakers and mutes fine. The phone and voice dialling works well on a Bluetooth pair with my Iphone 3.

The head unit is in the glovebox so it is unobtrusive.

You will need a special wiring loom ordering. Halfords organised the whole thing at a cost of around £350.

Cheers

Ahhaa...so a Parrot CAN be fitted to the 997......£350 sounds steep for a parrot....which model did you g and whee on the dash did you place the unit....

Im only wanting it for phone calls rather than Ipod function.....

Thanks!
