Default Parrot Bluetooth Hands Free Question

My Motorola Razor died and now have a Sony that doesn't connect with my Motorola bluetooth car kit. Bought a Parrot CK 3000 Evolution and it uses the car speakers, which leads me to my question.
I can't use the plug and play ISO connections and will have to hardwire it in. Will the output from it be enough to hear what they are saying, when running through my Focal 165 K2P's ??

Never mind, new plan.
Going to install some low watt speakers in the factory dash locations.

That's a better plan. It can be ugly integrating those kits into a system.

I just put the Evolution 3000 in my 07 vert yesterday.
I bought the plug and play harness from www.quickconnectproducts.com.
The unit works great after you play with the volume settings.
The most difficult part of the install, was where to stuff all the parts and the huge harness involved.
There is a small amp, the wireless transmitter, and enough wiring to reach cross country. After about a half hour, I found what appears to be a good solution. Had to drill 2 small holes to route the power wire and the mic. I mounted the mic on the dash, by the driver side "A" post.
Sorry no pics, daughter had the camera. If I get energetic, maybe I'll take it apart again and take pics.
Getting the climate controls and Nav unit back in, was kind of like sitting on a suitcase to get it closed.
It was worth the effort. Now I can get rid of Onstar when my contract is up.

Why can't you use the plug and play harness? Nevermind..............Looks like you canned your factory stereo.

i tried hooking mine into my aftermarket system and just blew the parrot interface box. almost like the amp back feeds into the parrot interface when you splice into the speakers. I am just using the original z06 rears that i pulled out and put em back in the rear for now. Until i decide where i want to go with it.

I just called the quickconnect harness place about installing their cable with the parrot 3000 in a 2008 2LT (non-bose) system.

I was told I needed the QC-GM2 harness. I was given some tips about where to get power from.. etc.

Anyone done this with the non-bose system. I have the 2LT trim so I assume I do not have the bose...

Comments, experiences.. suggestions? Seems like a good solution....

thanks...

From what I have read, non bose makes it easier to install as long as there is the correct adapter available for the ISO connections.
I don't know if you looked, but there is a Parrot Forum, maybe you can find the info there.
