Has anyone fitted the factory blue tooth retro to a 380? How much was it? Is it a good system and worth it? I have a blue ant at present and wondering if the factory one will be better.
Cheers!

I have the factory one and it is WAY better than a Blue Ant unit

Honestly you could probably get ANY bluetooth unit that is hardwired (might save some pennies on a factory one)

yeah the factory one is the way to go.

Any ideas as to where you can get the Factory kit and how much? Is it really worth the cost a Dealer may charge?

I fitted the factory system recently around $430 from Mitsi and it comes with everything you need including pretty comprehensive instructions with pictures. Fairly easy job took me less than an hour making sure I did it 'by the book'.

It's a good system and works well.

What sort of vehicle do you have? eg vrx sx etc?

Is it true they all have the wiring loom already fitted for a bluetooth option?

I have a 2008 SX

Yeah it all just plugs in & is mounted on a metal plate which slots in nicely behind the audio head end. Like Group3 said very comprehensive instructions & a piece of cake to fit.

Mmm tempting. anyone seen them around apart from mitsi?

yeah I have one I got from the wreckers,

just a blue box from behind the radio and a switch for the dashboard, dunno if I missed anything.

also got the whole head unit and cd player etc.

$50 for the whole lot he wanted, how could I resist

I knew I saw an install of an aftermarket jobbie on here

That seems very cheap indeed!! I could be so lucky eh?

Gents, I'm thinking of installing a Parrot CK3000 kit in my 2007 VRX, mostly because it's the same kit that I've got in my Mini (2006 Cooper S, factory supercharged, awesome awesome fun!!) and I already know how to operate it. The Parrot kit comes with a harness already wired up with ISO plugs, which in the case of my Mini made the wiring a piece of cake and just a matter of unplugging and replugging a few bits and pieces. Does the head unit in the 380 also use ISO plugs? Ta.
