Parrot Bluetooth Install Where to put box

Hi, My Parrot CK3100 bluetooth kit has arrived. I'm just wondering where other people put the blue control box when then installed it? I'm hoping that I can just tuck it in/below or around the headunit tbh. Is this likely to be possible? It's going in my Citroen Xantia. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to ice installs tbh. My skills only go as far as connecting up simple replacement headunits and removing manufacturer ones so far...

Yep, stash it behind the head unit - that's where the ISO leads will be connected so that it mutes your stereo and routes the audio through the speakers.

You should be able to find a little space to wedge it

Excellent thank you. That was my intention but I was not sure whether it was an achievable aim! Got the mike installed no problem at the top of the A Pillar near the sun visor and the cable nicely tucked behind its plastic trim. I just need to get the cable down thru the dash to the box and then start wiring the electrics in.

I would suggest moving the mic over to the middle of the car.

My dad & step-sister both have their mics on the top of the pillar, and have some issues with the voice activation and wind noise, whereas mine is in the centre of the car (still on the roof) doesn't suffer as badly.
