Parrot/Handsfree kits - Who has them and where do you mount the screen?

[cupra-barn]

Morning all,

I've managed to get my mitts on a Handsfree kit with iPod connection. I've wanted one for a while now but funds have stopped me however I now have one with a colour screen and don't know where to mount it. Do you have one? Where is it mounted?

If anyone has any pics of there's it would be really appreciated if you could share them with the class

Many thanks in advance

Barney

i have a parrot 3100 kit located on drivers side airvent held by clips that came with it. which model do you have?

have a look on dashmount.co.uk for ideas as they have pics of h/f kits mounted.

also try these two:

i only know of them as i worked for unipart for 2 yrs who did h/f kit installations and they did fit the parrot kits and used mounting brackets from these websites.

I have a parrot mki9200 it has a 2inch colour screen for the ipod so want it someone not to obvious but viewable. I have my boost gauge in the vent

i fit these all the time at work nomally to t5 transporters and other vans. i normaly fit the screens to the a piller trim using a little screw, alternatively ave you got any switch blanks if you have then you can modify one to acomadate the screen

i take it the screens removable? what about mounting it in the centre console by the gearstick area/cubby area.?

I also have a parrott 9200, I've got the screen stuck between the dials and the remote on the door next to the window switches. The screen covers some of the warning lights but the car beeps when they light up anyway.

Yeah ive got a free one but didnt really want to screw in to the dash. Thought maybe i could stick it on or something.Just gonna have to try it by the looks of things wanted some pics so i could see what it looked like.

I like this idea. Might give that a try.

I like the idea of having the remote by the window switches, how do you have it secured?

if you can wait till tomo i will take some picks of the ones in our vans at work i know its not a leon but might give you an idea ,

i wouldnt recomend putting it down low as it will distract you as you drive

if you have a free switch cover you can screw it into that and then when you need it removed you can just replace the cover

mount it onto a dashmount bracket so it sits inline with your stereo. have a look at www.dashmount.co.uk

I had a 3200 in my old car, mounted just to the left of the ESP button, it fitted quite nicely in the gap there.

I've now got a CK3000 evolution (I think) as I found I never used the screen after a few months.

I wanted it hidden as well as possible, so mounted it in the little coil tray:

I'll upload some pictures of it tomorrow as I'm on my iPhone now. They come with 3M sticky pads, so it's just stuck onto the door and then onto the clear plastic on the speedo etc. I used to have it mounted just bellow my heater controls and found that looking down at the screen and away from the road was more distracting! The only thing you will need to do is lower the brightness on the screen slightly otherwise it's slightly dazzling at night!

I fitted my kit today. Here's some pics what do you all think?

 

[LEE69]

Just seen it's wireless

 

[cupra-barn]

You got it lol the remote is by the gear stick.

i have one of these just needs fitting, did you have to take a power feed from somewhere?

 

[cupra-barn]

I didn't need to it has a normal ISO block the same as the leon so it was simple plug and play.

As for the yellow mute, I simply plugged that into itself making a loom of the yellow wire.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply.
