Default where? Parrot Mki9200

Hi all,

I'm just about to get a Parrot hands free kit installed on my Hi-line system, and I was wondering what's the the best location for the display?

Any pictures would be welcome, and I'll obviously post some pics to show everybody where it ends up.

My initial thoughts are just above the headlight switch pack, but I'm open to any suggestions!

Ray

Hi Ray. Like you I like to keep things neat and tidy but I'd mount the display where you can see it as down below you run the risk of taking your eyes away and defocusing for too long. Albeit a simple display, that's what we do.

What about the far right of the dash board above the air vent against the A pillar? Wires are easy to bury there and it won't break your line of sight.

That's were Blackerry is.

Regards. Steve.

Fitted mine so the bracket is just inder the very right-hand sie of the "eyebrow" over the radio. Then wires can be passes under the eyebrow and get hidden.

MInd you that's on a single-din facia with the cubbhole above. There was just room to glue the parrot bracket to the right of the cubbyhole.

Hi Ray, you can get sticky pads that work quite well like the stuff for your number plate etc. Also if it is essential to use screws there is a paste available to fill said nasty holes after removal and comes in light or dark but can I remember the name of it ....no I used it on my old Cavalier when a seat belt lug Jammed in the door opening and punctured the door card. So the holes are fixable.

Regards. Steve.

Paul,

Now that where I was considering it!

Im not doing it myself, however I'll print off the how-to to make sure the "professional" does a good job.

Many thanks!

Ray
