Thread: Bluetooth options (Aftermarket)

After doing some more Googleing I found this: Freel2.com - View topic - Pioneer Retrofit

It seems you can remove the whole factory stereo and fit a plastic mounting frame for a double DIN head unit. It might be more costly and more work than just slamming in a single-DIN unit in a "normal" car.

But you need to have the oem unit still inline somewhere hidden or you lose the dash info

Ps we have parrot works fine

Yeah, I am thinking a Parrot will probably be the easiest (and cheapest) option. So does the FL2 stereo have automatic mute function when you get an incoming call with the Parrot?

Cannot recall 100% but I think the auto elec had to put a relay in for the power as it doesn't have a mute wire for phone

The parrot wires in between you head unit an your speakers. It has relays built in that break the cct between the radio and speakers and outputs the phone to the speakers. It works very well.

Does that mean the sound from the phone is not amplified by the amp in the headunit? That would be no good for playing music through the phone then.

I have the Parrot Asteroid Mini. It has its own amplifier so when playing music from my phone, the sound quality is excellent. You can play music via Bluetooth and it also has wired inputs for iGadgets and ISB sticks.
