Do i need only need to connect the loom or do i have to connect the loose power wires as well? the one that have red line + and black line - + brown line - & white line +

When I fitted mine to the Ti, it was just a case of plugging the Parrot into the loom, then the other two plugs into the headunit, nothing else was connected, so I assume the same with the 75 (will find out next week) but I noticed on the radio we have in teh 25 BMW in their infinite wisdom use a different plug

Mine is fitted to my 75 - loom only - forget the other loose wires :lol:

I'd be interested to know how the Blue tooth Parrot is working. I used to have a Nokia unit but have transferred it to the wifes Zaferia. That leaves me with no hard wired unit in the 75.

i am now using a portable Bluetooth unit with a Blackberry that works pretty good and was only about £30-£40 but I have to turn the radio on and off. Is it worth me getting the Parrot unit ?

thanks

The Parrot works perfectly with my Razr and also with a colleague's Nokia

That's the million dollar question though! You won't have to keep switching radio on and off, as the Parrot does that automatically. I've found it to be useful, even though it doesn't get that much use, but I do miss it if I'm driving the 25.

Guy at work has a Parrot CK3100, what a fantastic gadget!!

Dead easy to use and feature packed. They even do ones with GPS receivers in them!

The 3200 is just mad:

I think the 3200 looks quite neat in the 75 as well

Rich · 10th January 2007, 18:59

Got to ask though, where are you all mounting these things??

I would never be able to decide the best position

Until Saturday I don't know yet, but on the Ti, I'd carefully removed the slats on the drivers side airvent and screwed it onto that, keeping the slats safe so I could put them back in now kits been removed
