Ok, so got the HiFi interface (really a 84893 - KRAM Audio2Car adaptor), looking at it, I only needed this one cable. Maybe a ASF-KRAM Extension is I wanted the parrot in the dash. But I think I can get away with just putting the bluebox under the seat next to the amp.

I DIDN'T need a ISO2CAR adapter. Since the HU doesn't output sound via the white plug and the Parrot pull power from the AMP loom, there is no need for it. No need to open the dash.

Few photos to show my test, which tested fine, muted all speakers. Going to start mounting and running the wires now for the Parrot.

Just for reference, the connection goes HU > AMP > Mutebox > Parrot > Speakers

This is the KRAM 84893 Audio2Car Premium cable (HiFi Interface)

The cable connected to the amp and speakers.

Will post some pictures of the install if anyone wants them.


Edit: Ok, so it seems that the only thing wrong with this is that the ignition power source on the amp is on all the time. So the Parrot never turns off. I'd say the installers would have used that ISO2CAR cable just for the ign+ form the HU. Think I can find a source close to the amp.

Edit 2: Pulled ACC+ from the centre console 12V acc outlet, nice and handy.

Run ACC+ off this to Parrot

Cut a hole into the centre console for the AUX/iPOD/USB Parrot connector

Had to remove the seat as I wanted to clean up the wiring and run the mic. The Mic goes up the passenger side to the roof and sits above the rear vision mirror.

Working perfectly now, AUX/USB/Bluetooth all working great.

Thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction.

That didn't look like any phone number I recognised, tried to find one locally but have saved $50 by ordering one from the UK, just have to wait.
