I ran my iphone interface/ charge lead into the ashtray. Its easy to run the cable down to it as well as the climate control unit just pops out easily enough, then the ashtray insert pops out, I then drilled a hole in that to insert the cable. I remember a member posting a photo of his parrot display installed in this location too, but that was the smaller 3100 unit

This looks the obvious place...perhaps too obvious...goodnes knows how it stays stuck on

The black dash bit or the "trim"

Any idea how the screen cable gets to the glove box from there
[/quote]To the left of air fresher on dash,the cable is fed the back of wood trim approx 50 mm seen,I assume they took out glove box that's easy 2 screws under top lip try and send picc's 2moz( but no guarantee)lol

ive just bought a parrot mki9200, where do the cables plug in?
I've got a feeling I need to plug the harness in to the radio amp in the wheel well?
or can I get a cable harness to plug it in tot he back of the sat nav/tv screen? I have a SOT976 cable but it wont fit anywhere  :(
