I'm interested in purchasing a Parrot CK3000 Evolution, but like the idea of not having something additional on the dash. I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer:

-Can I use the Multican or Multicomm adapters for a multifunction steering wheel with the steering wheel in my 2003 A4 3.0 Cab?
-Is the Parrot even compatible with my Bose Symphony II head unit? I upgraded it so that I could get Sirius satellite radio, and use my Ipod through a DICE unit. Basically, will there even be a place to connect the Parrot unit?

Thanks!

...but it can be used with a seperate speaker added on to the output.

it works perfectly.

Yes, it'll plug right in.

I've had volume issues, where the conversation volume in the car due to the Bose is so loud and uncontrollable, you could hear the conversation 100 feet outside the car.

the parrot has volume control. it works perfectly. need a write up?

That would be great! Thanks to both of you...I don't like the idea of the external speaker. Kinda kills the aesthetics of the car.

I don't know about the sirius connections though.

I used this connector and wires to connect to the Parrot:

(1) 10-pin connector block, Audi part #357 035 447B
(3) wire connectors, Audi part # 000 979 133

Here are the PIN outs from the back of the unit:

Check out http://quickconnectproducts.com/steeringwheel.html for the steering wheel adapter.

There's a post or two that explains in more detail on how to do it but I just remember that these pics helped me a lot. The Parrot's harness wont connect to the back of the head unit. You need to cut just the mute and a set of speaker wires on the kit and connect them to the back of the unit using the connector and wires above (Part#'s listed). You're connecting to the mute, + &amp; - connections circled in yellow in the 1st pic (the other pics are just for location ref) You can tap power from a few different places. It's pretty easy if you get the connector from the dealership.<ul><li><a href="http://quickconnectproducts.com/steeringwheel.html">http://quickconnectproducts.com/steeringwheel.html</a</li></ul>

Excuse my ignorance for a moment; are the Tel Line connections on the back of the radio ins or outs?

stadtjunge

they are inputs
