Parrot Installation Interface

[hasaanbhutta]

hi, i am interested in this harness.... but got a stupid question...
besides this harness, what else would i need to get a bluetooth enabled cell phone to work on my Bose Audio system

Obviously, you need a Bluetooth enabled cell phone first. Then you need a Bluetooth car kit. Basically, this is all you need.

But if you want the sound from your cell phone to come out of your Bose speakers and you want the radio muted when a call is either received or initiated, then you need a mute device, something that goes between the Bose radio and amp. That's all.

Why the Nissan Infiniti Harness are more expensive than other car brands?

It has been a long time since I have been under the hood in a Murano...I did one of the first posts of the original PAC-NIS harness back in 04 (I think...).

If I grabbed the harness, and the 3000 Evolution kit from Parrott, is it essentially the same thing as installing the PAC-NIS?


1) Pull out the headset
2) connect the harness
3) plug the parrot into the harness
4) hide the gear and run the wires to desired locations

If that is it, I think I am going to give it a shot...$150 seems spendy for a harness...but it looks like it makes install a snap.

I'm going to get a Parrot and the harness, and am wondering which Parrot? Is the 3000 base all I need, I only would be talking and would use phone book, etc? ...or is the 3100 LCD with the screen a nice feature, and then what about the 3200 with its color screen? And how about the space to mount, the nicer ones use more real estate in an already crowded dash.

With the harness is there anything which shows up on the Murano screen? How do you know what the steering wheel buttons are doing to the phone if you can't see a screen?

I got the 3000 evolution. We already have Nav, LCD, etc. I wanted as clean of an install as possible. I bought the harness from http://www.parrotkits.com and had an installer do the work (much less room behind the head unit on my '07 compared to my '04). Anyway, it is fantastic...couldn't be happier with the device.

Does any of the phone info show up on the Murano screen? We have the monochromatic screen, Bose, no SAT setup in an '05.

That is a negative. There is no information...other than what is on the phone. The LCD version is different...3000 is base model.

Do you end up looking at the screen on the phone, or how are you always able to do your calling without some visual clue about what the phone is up to? ie is the 3000 evolution all I need

I'm leaning toward the 3100 to get a bit of a screen, but minimize the space used in the dash area? If I don't need the screen I would prefer the smaller size of the 3000.

Any advice from Parrot users?

Thanks!

The calling is voice activated based on your phone (chk the parrot website), you could also set up voice or speed dialing on your phone and do it that way.

Honestly, we haven't played with all the features yet...no time. We are eventually going to set it up so we can say:

1) telephone (which will switch to phone and mute radio)
2) call mom...home

as for screening, you have to look at your phone with the 3000...

does the radio have to be on to receive a call through the speakers? (parrot bluetooth)
