Default Bluetoothy in a D2 - Quick Questrion

Gents,

2002 D2 with RNS D and Bose.

Do I need an Autoleads cable if I go out and buy a standard Parrot kit?

Chances are the parrot kit will not work with the bose setup at all. You need a kit you can feed into the RNS-D phone input, the parrot expects normal speaker level outputs from the headunit that the bose setup does not have.

Pub sounds like a good idea.

So, just following on from this, what options do I have on my FL D2 for phone addition/integration at "reasonable" cost.
RNS-D, NO Bose, NO phone prep.

I have a selection of handsets and smartphones available (though no cradles) and normally use a separate SIM (legacy of the antique Nokia 3110 factory install in the PF) that my family etc. know the number of.
Favourite handset would probably be Nokia 6310i (I have 2 plus a 6210) as I often use this when travelling as the battery literally lasts for weeks without a charge.

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

I have non Bose, and sorry cant help with the question as the Parrot was already fitted when I got the car, it is a great piece of kit though

Would be an option for you too HP though would obviously need a phone with Bluetooth capability

Bose and Parrot in a D2 does work - I too have this. Installation a bit more complicated with the Bose (or so I was told by the guys who fitted it...), but works very well when done.
