Parrot CK9100 Audi A4

Skuxx

Hopefully someone here can give me some tips! I have a Parrot CK9100 that I had installed in my Mk4 golf with aftermarket head unit.
I now have an Audi A4 B7 with a concert 3 head unit. Just wondering could anyone here point me in the direction of a good step by step installation guide or tell me what I need to get? I had a quick look but the connectors in the Audi look different to what I have with the Parrot!

Easiest would probably be to go to halfords and buy an iso-sot lead for your car. Just tell them what handsfree you have and what car and audio system.
If this is the factory head unit it should be fairly simple.
If it's like any jobs I've done on any vehicle I've owned you should just be plugging out two block connectors from the back of your head unit. One is power and the other is speakers.
Plug these into your new iso sot lead, then the iso lead connects to your handsfree and back into the radio.
The connections should be fairly straight forward and only fit one way.
As regards the audi system I cannot say for definite if it is like this or not, I have just given you my experience based on Toyota's and Kia's but I can't imagine it being different.
Best of luck with the install.

Don't go to Halfords, go to a dedicated car radio installer. If it's just an SOT harness you need they cost about the same everywhere, if you need something more for your car Halfords don't always know the difference.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. So after a bit more Google searching I found a set of connectors on justcarkits.co.uk that seemed to match up to what I needed.
I bought them and installed everything yesterday. All very straight forward, plug and play with the Audi quad-lock connectors. Everything seems to be working fine except now, when I turn on the headlights, I have an awful annoying buzzing sound coming from the rear speakers. This is only when the headlights are turned on. I have found that this maybe an issue when changing the headunit due to a bad ground, but can't find anything related to Parrot kits. Anyone shed some light? Did I miss something with the install?

Sounds like a strange one. Haven't heard of this happening myself before.
Maybe have a look at the connections again and make sure everything is firm.
Possibly inspect the wires in the looms too and make sure there isin't a loose crimped lead in the iso block?
Only a guess on my part but a simple check to run none the less.
Best of luck

Thanks tcawley29. I was thinking something along the same line myself. I'll will pull everything out again and have a look. It's quite possible a wire got snagged while I was trying to fit everything in behind the radio/ glove box! I'll let you know how it goes!
