I need the help of someone clever

Post by Gary Howard »

I'm looking to put a parrot Bluetooth kit in my 996 c4s

Has anyone done it and do you know what connection interface I need to get?

I have the PCM 2.0 fitted

All help and comments gratefully received

Gary pretty sure the 02 on 996 have optical interface on the radio so may need some form of converter e.g. not straight forward. Worth a google to investigate.
PS one trick worth knowing the A/C control panel is two screws to remove & gives much better access to the back of the stereo.

I found someone clever at Halfrauds Gary, I could not get a parrot to work so went and bought a cheap Panasonic unit with hands free and a USB. And it was probably cheaper!! And works really well

My Mki9200 Parrot kit ran through a Connects2 adaptor in my 03 986 Boxster with no problems if thats any help. They just plug into existing harness so no wires to cut etc (you may need to run a signal wire to amplifier). Link below if its any help.

It's the former ..... Can't get it it connect, the beak is the wrong shape.....

On reflection, I might get the later as it says more than "pieces of eight" and " who's a pretty boy"

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at that

Sod pieces of eight. If I was fitting it, it'd probably be in eight pieces.

Does it have Bose ? as that complicates thing with it having optic cables.
