Hi,

I'm planning to buy and install the Parrot MKi9200 in my Octy II 2008 Estate, but before I order it, I'd like to find a proper installation guide.

I've found one for a Golf, but none specifically for the Octavia II.

My car has the MFD2, so I'd like to know specifically what extra cables/connectors I need and more importantly - how I wire it up so it starts/stops with the ignition.

If possible I'd like it so it doesn't turn off until the key is removed from the ignition.

Any help appreciated :-)

Thanks!

I cant help you with a guide but I can tell you its tight for room. You may have to remove some of the plastic cage inside but it should be ok.

To remove the radio there are 4 small plastic inserts you remove to reveal torx screws.

As regards the key issue, get a multimeter and keep checking each fuse for power that switches off with the key, then take some power from that.. It has to say goodbye on the screen or else it aint working right.

As regards the wiring, I believe you need SOT-076. The MFD should be unaffected. Just remember to remove the two/one small plugs and insert them into the new quadlock.

Alternatively Halfords are selling the Mki9200 for €249 including fitting.

Hope this was some help

Tight for room? Can you elaborate? :-)

Thanks!

Certainly,

Trying to get the parrot blue box and all associated wiring hidden away with enough room for the radio to go back in can be tricky.

I seem to recall I had to remove a small section of the inner plastic cage that surrounds the radio, then I had plenty of room. Used a large pliers and kept bending it till it broke.
