Parrot kit for v70 - Page 2

Simmomoto · Apr 23rd, 2018, 14:06

Will a Parrot go on to my XC70? - and which one? I have a 54 plate and has the HU-850 stereo in it. I've previously tried to fit an aftermarket stereo using leads supplied by Car Audio Centre but this didn't work and threw up a couple of fault codes which i had to get cleared. It's a case of once bitten twice shy for me but I really do need a hands free device that works without losing the stereo?
any recommendations?

Think you maybe in the wrong section - this is for post 07 P3 V70.

However I would add that after 10 years of fitting Parrots - I've just fitted a Bury CC9068 kit and find it substantially better than the Parrot kits and cheaper than the 9200.

I have wired it so it only cuts the front drivers side speaker - this means you have to turn the radio off on a call BUT you still get the Sat Nav and rear parking sensor audio which you will lose [when on a call] if you connect it to mute all speakers.

I just have my phone plugged into the aux connection. Works a treat through the speakers and is very clear. Wife calls me on it and never complains of sound problems. Also works great with google map's.
