    Is there an easy way to fit a parrot handsfree to my 2009 V70?

    I don't want to have to take it to an installers and pay a small fortune, when I can find the kit online for around £80.


    Is there some kind of iso plug in and play I can get, as I don't particularly want to have to start sourcing separate +/- power/earth for the system.



    *just noticed I posted this in phase 2 not 3 - if the powers that be want to move it

    Most places charge next to nothing for installation, I'm going to be buying one for the D5 at the end of this month. I wish parrot would release some new stuff though, the range is now years old

    What one did you buy, the last one I had was the mki9200 that's come rite down in price. There is a shop local to me I think he fits them free. I think halfrauds charge £50 but they probably don't have a clue.

    No that's what I bought last time - I've yet to buy one for this car - but wanted to make sure it was something I'd be able to do myself before I bought a kit.

    I would personally buy one from a parrot supplying dealer and get them to fit it (not Halfords).Fitting should cost very little and if there is a problem they will sort it out for you. If you buy from the net it might cost you a couple of pounds less but you will have to remove the unit a send it back if there is a problem. Its not worth the hassle in my opinion.
