Bluetooth Kit on MOST Cars

[markomah]

Quick question (hopefully).

From a search of the archives, it appears that if I want to install a Parrot Bluetooth kit in my 2004 model year, PCM2 and Bose-equipped car:

(a) I can get a mute lead so the stereo mutes when the phone is in use?

(b) But I can't use the existing speakers and will need to install an external speaker?

If I do need an external speaker, is the passenger footwell the best place for it? Anyone tried any alternatives?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Mark

Mark - I've had the Parrot bluetooth kit fitted to my C4S with PCM2. It's setup to use the front speakers, even if the PCM unit is switched off (the small speaker that comes with the Parrot kit just isn't loud enough). I don't have the Bose system though which may make a difference to how this system can be set up.

Wentworth car radio fitted mine. You may want to give them a shout and see what they can do.

Cheers Jonny.

I think it's the amplifier that comes with the Bose option that precludes the use of the front speakers but I might give your fitters a call and confirm.

The problem is, I'm based in Dublin and I get the strong feeling that all the local ICE people may be ever so slightly out of their depth when dealing with the system.

Thanks for the help,

Mark
