Will do - didn't have much time over the weekend as as I was doing some stuff on one of Stuttgart's other offerings.

Spent a while looking for a switched 12V and had a look at the non working Parrot car kit. Decided it was for the bin so spent about 2 hours trying to get it all out and chasing wires. I hate wires going no where, they should have a purpose or not be there. Eventually got it out and I think I will use the switched 12V that was used for it, it has an inline fuse holder fitted at the fuse box so a handy solder in.

I'm a little concerned though that the tap might drain the battery as it has 600mV on it with ignition off. I'll try it an see. If I think its a problem I will move it back at the fuse box as I have left the cable long.

Just need to fish up the cable and the microphone. I think I will mount that on the steering column. Its not very visible but a better location than the OEM place. I can move it again if I think it looks naff but its not very noticeable. Should be all done by the weekend.
