2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

Has anyone got a Parrot

No not the feather kind , but the blue tooth hands free

Had one fitted last week only to be told once fitted,that it wouldn't mute the radio when a call comes in,as its supposed to , I would have to spend an extra £100 for some special wiring loom or something similar.
Having spent £200 I am reluctant to spend any more.
Has any one got experience of this.

TurboD - I don't have the parrot on a RRS but I did have 2 fitted when I had minis. £200 seems to be just for the basic system - I paid about £350 to have the system that mutes the radio, but that was 2 years ago. I think the fitter is telling you the truth and a loom is needed. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Paid £150 to have a middle of the range one fitted to my van, excellent bit of kit.
If I remember rightly the extra wire you need is about £29

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

I have the 3100 on my RRS.
It came installed at delivery, so bit hard to know the exact price, but I would say around £300.
It has the mute function. '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

2009 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

We've got the 3100 fitted in a bunch of company cars.......they are excellent.

Paid about £80 each plus a muting wiring loom, usually about £20, but depends on the make of car. The price is now nearer £70, have a look at:-

Fitting is not difficult if you have the correct intergrated loom, then its only a switched 12 volt feed needed to activate the system. It uses the phones own antenna.

I think that £150 should cover the cost.......but its all about how gentle you are taking the panels off......that's when the damage gets done. .

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.

TDV8 HSE MY10 with pretty much everything including a vase of daffs on the back shelf, tropical fish collection in the centre console, hamsters in the spare tyre and finally sheep on the passenger seats.....for weight distribution, what else??

I need to get one of these for the new crapmobile... and a new Satnav, but that's a different question. Do these Parrot systems route the phonecall through the in-car speakers as I've grown used to?
