Bloototh connection for G4 Disco 3 BV55 ZBC

Has anybody had a bloototh kit fitted through their local delaership? If so was it nearly £700? I have tried the Parrot option but with the labout to fit it the cost is not as bad but still £300-400 which is a lot for an after market option.

Hope somebody can help..

Thanks for you help in advance.

Fitted a Parrot bluetooth to a RR P38 a couple of months ago with a friend of mine. 45 mins up and running for a £100 kit.

sounds good to me, can you remember what model Parrot it was please?

As a D3 owner, I suggest you have a browse on Disco3.co.uk - it's also free to register, and there is a huge amount of info on there - in fact mine is in for warranty work with Jeremy at the momnet, most of the problems have TSB's that I picked up from the forum.

Anyway the opinion on there is the dealer fit bluetooth is not worth it, either have a factory fit or a parrot - not that I know which model parrot to go for though!

The retro fit is a waste of money. We've done a couple but wouldnt recommend it. The Parrot is a nice cost effective solution, cant remember the model we fit but its the cheaper one.

Hi Russ,

I used a different solution recently in my 110.

Granted a lot easier as it had a simple head unit, I just bought an after market headunit with bluetooth phone - £150 10 minutes to fit.

Probably not possible if the D3 has sat nav etc, but might be worth looking at.

In my wifes D3 we had the after market bluetooth kit fitted. Cost circa £500 and not really worth it.

It works okay & fits in very neatly, but not much intergration, you cannot download the phonebook for example.

regards

Paul

Cheers Jeremy for the info. I think I have decided to go for an aftermarket bluetooth as it is a neat fit works through the speakers and still enables me to charge the phone through the cig lighter and finally costs £200 all in.

Should a HSE spec. G4 D3 not already have Bluetooth capability???

Hi,

It is a option on the HSE before 2006. After 2006 it was standard :crying:

Cheers

I had a parrot on the eurocarrier before I bought my 110. A nice piece of kit.



If the radio had ISO connectors on the back its a hours job to fit, that includes 2 x cups of tea, if it doesn't then maybe double that.



I change the L/R head unit to a Pioneer with Blue tooth and connection for the Ipod, I have not regretted this, more powerfull then the land rover unit with all the advantages of the bluetooth.



I bought a Sony Erichson unit for Mrs W's estate, but feel its not as good as pretty polly.



Good luck

Hi Russ, Did you managed to get a Parrot on your D3? If so, which one and where please? I wanted to get the new 6100 installed (detachable from the car and ipod/Mp3 player integrated)



Recently been to a HAlfords store where the technician said it could not be done because of the SatNav and "too many speakers", but at the D3 club they say it can be done (although did not find all details I wanted.
