Parrot installation 6N2
Parrot installation 6N2
I am planning to install a Parrot unit in this car, is the lead that is mentioned in this forum correct for that 2001 1.4 Match as well? Autoleads SOT-076.
In addition to that, the dealer I am buying the car from (trader), does not have the book. Will the radio "find" it's own code again after putting it back in?
And finally, the radio removal tool mentioned - is that one of these ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CD-RADIO-REMOVAL- ... 286.c0.m14

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
In my experience radios do not find their code, the code could be scourced from a VW Dealer, unless someone on this board know's different.
Re: Parrot installation 6N2
When I read some of the posts here, it seems that as long as the radio goes back in the car where it came from - I should not be expecting any problems. Well, I guess I will find out one way or the other soon ..

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
correct- as long as its the original radio for the car, it will pair back together with the ECU and be useable a gain. Turn it on, then turn the ignition on and after a few seconds it will display LEARN

Excellent, thanks for that. Will get that, my car is a 6n2.
Do you happen to know if the audio lead is the correct one as well?

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
No mate. The 6n2 uses ISO and Mini ISO connections (Mini ISO is for the handsfree etc) so that quadlock one isnt appropriate
Re: Parrot installation 6N2
Thanks for that. Will look for that one (unless someone has a link to a valid connector).
Re: Parrot installation 6N2
Can someone confirm please if this is the right connector that I need?

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
That looks correct. Do you know what connections the parrot has on it mate?
Re: Parrot installation 6N2
It just states that the Parrot comes with ISO connectors. I have not got the Parrot kit yet.

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
Im not sure if you even need a cable mate - the polo has ISO connectors already.
If i remember correctly, they are a passthrough. Id wait and see what it looks like before you buy any leads.

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
Thanks - after looking at it more, I think you are right. I hope that is the case as I can not find any SOT leads that would be suitable for the 6N2.
Wonder what others are doing for handsfree kits though as I have not been able to find any posts from others about this.

Re: Parrot installation 6N2
Most have a headunit that incorporates handsfree. I have had two pioneer ones which do this (still have one lol). Before that, I had a seperate handsfree than wired into the handsfree function on the factory head unit which worked quite well, but wasnt as neat as I wanted it to be.
Re: Parrot installation 6N2
All my other cars have the factory BT kit so this is my first aftermarket attempt for this car. I thought that Parrot was supposed to be a good solution.
