Bought myself a Parrot kit for the CSL from our one and only Mark.
Told him what i was looking for and he recommended and supplied a very nice looking MKi9100 kit with all required wiring at a very good price :thumbs:
I wanted to keep the interior looking as original as possible so spent a bit of time planning where everything was going to go.
The control unit is mounted in behind the glove box in a handy cubby hole below what i think is the ECU.
I mounted the Mic on top of the rear view mirror and ran the cable into the roof lining through the same location as the cables for the rain sensor.
It then runs down the N/S A pillar using the clips already there for other cables and into the control unit.
The screen i wanted but was unsure where i was going to place it.
After a bit of head scratching i decided on the ashtray as the location.
This required the drilling of a small hole for the cable but i decided that i could live with it as its in behind the screen anyway.
Cable then runs under the console and in behind the glove box into the control unit.
The ipod lead again required a 20mm hole to be drilled for it's gromet and this i done inside the glove box frame (plastic bit you remove to get to the ECU) This allows me to plug in the ipod and shut it in the glove box out the way. It can be controlled by the parrot control buttons and details are displayed on the screen :smokin:
The Parrot control buttons are wireless so can be mounted anywhere.
I placed it around a bit but decided that it was best up out of the way so a little bit of Velcro and it now sits up on the roof.
The loom for the head unit / Parrot kit is pretty bulky once its all together so i again spent some time getting this all tidy and out the way.
Only required one confirmation call to the Jedi master about some cables and i was happy.
Heres some pics.
The Mic
The display screen
The control buttons
Thanks for the service and the advice Mark :thumbs:
