Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Where to put the Parrot
« on: 19 November 2006, 21:13:32 »
Hi Guys
Looking for some more advice and photo's if pos' hope you can help.
I've decided after all your great advice, to go for the Parrot phone kit, proberbly the new one the 3200. In to a 2003 Facelift.
My question is where best to put it and what bracket to use. Ideally I'd like it fairly close, ( the old bins are going a bit now) so dont want to be squinting at the thing, but dont want to obstruct anything important. Ideally I dont want to be drilling holes in the dash etc or cables hanging every where.
So if any of you chaps have found the best spot for your kit, I'd really appreciate it and any photos.
Ps I know a couple of you have already suggested their profered place, but could do with a bit more detail.
Cheers

Does it have to be fitted professionally? The Car Ph*** W***House are quoting £200 for that unit plus from £75 fitting.
Were you have positioned your display, sound exactly were I thought would be best, when I was waying it up earlier. doesnt obstruct anything.
If it is easy enough to fit it, diy, any idea how you would get the new mic across without disturbing the head lining?
Sorry to Keep asking more questions.

Steve the Parrot you have, sounds like the one SMS01 has, do you use the vehicle link behind the glove box and Mic?
Also how can I tell if I have the factory fitted mic? I can see a series of slots in the centre of the court' light lens. between the two lamps and sensors.

Your collegue, that got caught out, must have been really unlucky.
The number of idiots I see in a day driving around in deep conversation with their phone in hand, stuck to their ear, while trying to manoeuvre the motor with the other hand, is unbelievable at times.
Think we have all learnt that practice is maddness.
Just getting back to the phone sets, I now think bluetooth could be okay, if it disegages with the phone when ignition is off.
Looks like the advantage with the Pa***t type system is a seperate display from the phone as opposed to using the phone display. :-/
If you use the basic link up set with the manufacturers prewiring. What does the omega display show when making and recieving a call?

Thanks Again Dave, I will check out that site. really appreciated.
Thanks also SMS01 for your input, interesting your explanation about the bluetooth. The only experience I have had with bluetooth is with my head set. I have to switch it on and off leaving the car as it still picks up my phone from about 20 30 meters, and I end up answering my phone while the head set is in the car. Nobody there of course.
But I get what you mean, so if you turn of your engine and remove the key the bluetooth disconnects automatically? and reconnects when you turn on the ignition? If thats the case I could live with the battery life. Its the fiddling with the head set that drive me mad.
Thanks Again, could you confirm that thats the case please. Told you I was a numpty
and ps what type is your kit?

I currently have a samsung d600, do you know if there is a car kit that will take this phone? or I am due for an upgrade, would I be better changing manufacturer?
Surpose I'm looking for the imposible, but I really dont want to continue with blue tooth as said previously, it drains the phone battery and for every leaving and returning to the car all day.
Does anyone know what the Hal***ds kit is like?
Thanks Again Gary

Hi Guys
Can anyone advise me. On the later facelift models the sales lit says that the omega has factory fitted telephone pre-wiring, the car I have in mind has a CCR 2006 and is an 03.
How do you go about fitting a current modile phone into this? Will it work with the cars display and can you use a cradle plug in type holder? I dont want to use blue tooth as I am in and out of the car all day. Not only does it drive me mad disconnecting and reconnecting bluetoth, but it also drains the phone battery with bluetooth on all the time.
Thanks, any help would be realy appreciated, I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to car wiring and interfacing.

It suprises me to.
I have just purchased a facelift CDX and with all the gismos on it I was gobsmacked to find the variable intermitant wipe I have on my old prefacelift GLS was no were to be found.
I will read my book again, but I thought the rain sensors were only on the Elite.

Been keeping an eye on a few, they are going up to £80 + £10 postage.
would consider a new one if I knew how long I was keeping the motor, but not sure, still looking for a younger replacement.
could still have it this time next year the way it's going.
