Are these systems any good and can you fit them into the omega via the phone connection thats in the car already or are they not compatable with the omega range  :-? :-? :-?

I've got a CK3100 installed via the phone connector in a '98 MFL. It works well enough.

cheers bud

where is the phone conector in the omega ???

Tucked up behind the glovebox  :y

what type of connector is it is there only one there ie is it easy to find

There are cheaper options though, that work every bit as well as the Parrott

Such as mate  :-?  Ive found a ck3100 for 79quid but then I suppose the cables etc are another 20 quid+

i already have the parrot kit ive had it for some time just didn't think it would fit behind the radio but behind glove box sounds easy just not sure how to go about it  ;D

I have 3 Nokia CK-7W kits, even with the cable to connect to the car (in case of the Omegas), none cost me more than £25 delivered from eGay). Omega has a convenient mounting point above passenger kick panel as well.

Last one I fitted was to my Elite - start to finish was under 30mins ;)

If its a prewired car (factory fit GSM aerial on roof), it has a proprietry 16 pin connector taped up above glovebox that provides power, access to in-car mic and audio in/mute to radio

factory fit GSM aerial on roof ?? and what does one of these look like i do have an aerial on the roof

You don't need any leads to fit a Parrot into the Omega.

Its a straight in line plug. I located the 'blue box' in the passenger footwell behind the glove box

You don't need an aerial connection as its a bluetooth kit it works off the phone, there isn't an option/ need for aerial

i had the 3100 monochrome:-

and later updated to the 3200 colour:-

and now have the MKi9200 with full iPod/ iPhone/ MP3 player/ memory card integration

Would recommend them as a kit, but would also ensure you have the latest software updates which with the 3100 might mean sending it back to Parrot. Without the updates some newer smart phones have issues

While you're all on the case,I was given a parrot for Christmas.Will it still plug & play as you describe with the Bose setup in my elite. Or asI expect is it more trouble than it's worth.

It works on the Bose but you should use a telemute lead with balancing transformer for the input. Autoleads p/n 06-109b

That's good news! Thanks for the help.greatly appreciated.

Not sure what the Parrot connections are like though as the Autolead is preterminated for Nokia carkits.

If you can solder then it's just a case of chopping off the Nokia plugs and soldering the appropriate wires together from the Parrot loom.

The last Parrot loom I saw had ISO radio plugs on which would be a pain on the Omega!

A Parrot kit will just plug in with the autoleads cable.
May need the trafficmaster loom tinkering with if it's not a fully wired one though.

Hmmmm...parrot does indeed have iso connectors and my car has no traffic master.Might just be easier to return the parrot and exchange for a nokia kit (especially as I have a Nokia e72).

anyone got a green button, or a broken ck3100?
