I just installed a MK6100 into a 2001 9-5 with the Pioneer/Harmon Kardon audio system + OnStar.
It was really simple, and I plan to do a full writeup later -- but in case I never get around to it, I'm very busy right now
, here's what I did.
First of all, I decided to use the Saab phone harness kit. I think there are other ways to accomplish the goal, but this is how I decided to do it, and I think this offers the best integration with the Saab audio system.
The MK6100 has 1 giant wiring harness. One branch of it has 2 grey ISO connectors, one male, one female. These 2 plugs have 8 wires going between them, and then about 5 more coming out...it's kind of intimidating. This is also the branch that is labeled with the labels "Mute in 1" "Mute in 2" and "Mute in 3"
The ISO harness will provide power for the Parrot kit. Since we are using the Saab telephone harness to get our power, we don't actually need the ISO connectors. So I cut the Red, Black, and Orange wires. I cut them *after* the fuse, so that they still had a fuse in place. There is also a free-floating yellow "Mute" wire. It has a spade-connection on it so it can click into one of the "Mute 1" "Mute 2" or "Mute 3" ends. I did not need the connector on it, so I clipped it below the connector. (Leaving enough wire I could solder it back together later, if need be).
I wired everything together using Posi-Lock connectors and tested it. It worked! So then I soldered it together.
After you cut the ISO harness off, there will be 2 more bundles of cable coming out of the Parrot. These are for streaming music integration, but the Saab stock radio system isn't really capable of handling this. Finally there is a red and black "Line +" and "Line -" wire. You don't need these either. You can cut them off as well if you wish. I thought I might have a use for them, so I left them intact, but I just realized that my intended use for them is actually impossible, so I'll likely remove them at some point.
Now...after you cut off the ISO-connectors, and set aside the Red/Black wire and the 2 bundles of wire ending in connectors, you should have 6 wires. They should be:
Orange (With fuse)
Red (With fuse)
Yellow
Black
Brown
White
On the Saab audio connector kit, you will have 9 wires. Don't worry, the 3 extras are for the horn (an OnStar thing) and the Saab microphone. We won't need them either, we'll clip them off later.
You will make the following connections.
Function----------Saab Color----------------Parrot Color
Ground----------Black------------------------Black
12v Constant----Red------------------------Red
Mute-------------Yellow--------------------Yellow
12v Ignition-----Red+Blue------------------Orange (With fuse)
Line (-) ---------Blue+White---------------Brown
Line (+)--------Grey+White----------------White
You should have 3 extra wires left over on the Saab harness, and you can clip them off if you want. I had stripped them bare on the ends for pin-testing, and so I just clipped them so there was no bare wire any more. I guess if you didn't strip them in the first place, you can just leave them as is!
Easy! In fact you'll notice that the Black, Red, and Yellow wires are the same color on both the Parrot and the Saab.
The way it works is this...when you receive a phone call, the radio mutes automatically (Or turns on if it was off). "Telephone" displays on the SID, and the Parrot rings your speakers. You can answer, and the audio comes over the speakers as expected.
To make a phone call, you activate the Parrot, and it will start playing audio -- like the talking voice menus -- through the speakers.
I suppose it's theoretically possible to use the steaming audio features of the Parrot this way, but the phone connection kit connection is MONO only, so I would suggest for hooking iPod/etc into the stereo you use a wired FM Modulator. Do a google search, and make sure you use the words WIRED and MODULATOR. This is totally different than those little iTrip things.
Mounting the display: We actually used a big paper-clip and fashioned a a little mount of the display, that clips between the fake wood and the dash-pad. I'll post pictures later, but it let me attach the display without using any double-stick tape or anything.
Last trick: When I paired the Parrot with my iPhone it worked beautifully. When we paired it with my dad's phone things got a little goofy. The radio kept switching to "Telephone" and back. It was very annoying.
I played with the settings on the phone and found out that his phone had an always-on voice-activation features. Any time there were loud noises, the phone was switching to Bluetooth to see if he was trying to give the phone commands. We turned this feature off, and now the whole system seems to be working like a charm!
Any questions, feel free to post them. Like I said, I'll work on pictures, but it might be a few weeks.
