The Parrot Hand Free Car Kit Installation
Remove the shift cover and ashtray assembly. Discard the ashtray cup. Cut a slot into the frame using a rotary shaper. Position the LCD display/control panel to clear the flip-open door and as far right as possible for easy driver operation. The display is installed using a modified bracket supplied with the Parrot. The unit contains one knob and two buttons as well as a LCD display. The lighter socket is untouched. To maintain the stock look of the M-6, the door covering the ashtray assembly is retained.
The system is composed of three components: a speaker control box, power supply and LCD display.
Next, remove the dash counsel, right kick plate and the door sill plate. Construct a custom “mute” wire harness to run from the rear of the center counsel to the Bose amplifier, located under the passenger seat.
Place the power box and the speaker control box in the cavity over the transmission tunnel and make all connections. Run the microphone cable from the display, under the dash to the passenger side windshield frame, under the ceiling, exiting at the rear of the sunglass holder. Clip the attached microphone to the sunglass frame.
Reinstall all M-6 panels and test the system. The installation takes approximately four hours.
