Default Parrot wiring
Just installed my parrot mki9200 and I'm happy enough but need to buy some kind of cable to get the sound from the rear speakers into the loop as my iPod only comes through the front . Head unit is a delta one , any help or general direction pointing much appreciated

How is it wired in?
Plug and play or hack 'n slash on the existing cables?

^^ what he said.. The parrot SOT cable is different for Bose and non-Bose systems as the rear speakers are pre-out rather than driven from the head unit.

First thing that springs to mind when lack of rear speakers is mentioned.

Non-Bose everything is basically driven from normal powered outputs on the head unit. The bass speakers in the parcel shelf do have inbuilt amplifiers but these just "boost" those units.
With Bose all the rear speakers go from the preamp level output to the Bose amp in the boot which then drives the main rear speakers (in the rear doors) and the parcel shelf bass units.

The parrot unit should be using the audio in on the stereo so it should not matter if its bose or not cause it would be the stereo pumping the sound out?

Not quite.

Bose - 8 speakers all driven by Bose amp

Non Bose 6 or 10 speakers, most are 10 speaker. 6 speaker version all driven by headunit, 10 speaker version 4 front speakers driven by headunit and 6 rear speakers driven by 2 amps built in rear parcel shelf speakers.

Didn't know there was a "cut-down" version of non-Bose with fewer speakers.

And I was only describing the rear speaker setup.

A lot of the parrot kits just drop inline with the ISO connector rather than feeding into the proper inputs as that is a cheaper solution...

It's an ISO look that plugs into car harness but the rear speakers are on a separate block with the cd changer etc

As far as I can tell its non bose
