Single CD stereo removal

Post by dobbor1 » Fri Mar 01, 2013 5:14 pm

Guys I have just remove a Parrott CK3100 from my car and the stereo ready for a new unit. Having unplugged everything can you confirm that this is what I should have left as part of the car wiring please? On the right is a block with loads of cable but has blue covers over the terminals. Then the mess on the left which can plug back into the stereo with the same type of block as on the right. The left one has other blocks connected to it. Not sure if these are an adaptor for parrot. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks as though you have left the ISO cable in that patches the parrot into the cars wiring, there is anISO car specific adapter you have to fit to make the parrot integrate. Look on eBay and see what they are shaped like, and them you will be able to identify it. There should be only one open end ay the quadlock, this then will pair to your aftermarket head unit wiring, you seem to have more than one open end/ plug left hanging out of the dash

Also the little white plastic plug needs the wires extending and running to the glovebox, so you can reset the clock and MPG with the mid. I am going to put mine in the rear cubby hole when I get chance, you only need to plug it in when resetting things though.
