Looking At Getting A Parrot.

[jomo]

I hate using Bluetooth ear things as i drive, hate them, hate them, hate them!!!

So was loking at my mates parrot hands free kit hes got in his A4 and liked it a lot.

Anybody got one of these in heir IS200, or had one, are they easy to fit what extra cables do i need to buy?

Any help, advise, would be great.

There's quite a few guys with them & from what I can see you do need a 'mute' lead - do a search for 'parrot' and it will come up with lots of threads & info :)

mute lead is only needed if you want the stereo to automute..

i hate these as some phones will mute the stereo even if you just press buttons..

Both my parrot kits came with the mute lead.

Yeah, all of my phones have muted the stereo if you press the buttons, but then again, I don't press the buttons so not a problem for me. Not very handsfree if you are pressing the buttons on the phone

I had swapped all my connectors for ISO connectors when I removed the factory head unit in my mk1 GS, so it was just straight plug and play. You will need an adaptor lead to convert the Lexus connectors to ISO, I did this for the misses's Ford Focus when I put a parrot in that. I think Autoleads SOT-913 covers a lot of the Lexus range.

I've not got a Parrot but something very similar, installed myself and was very straight forward to do (including the mute and all) :)

what kind of parrot products you guys are talking about ? Is it the one mk9200i or something which is 220 with screen? you have to buy sot lead. i have the lead but still not sure which one to get the parrot or the io play

[link005]

i think sot 913 lead for both parrot and io play

i think sot 913 lead for both parrot and io play

I am talking about the Parrot ck3100 in both the installs I have done. And yup, SOT-913 is the lead I believe covers a good deal of the Lexus range. I would imagine most of the hands free kits would have ISO connectors so the SOT-913 should cover almost all of them.
