Just got hold of a swanky new hands free kit - a Parrot 3200 with colour screen. Tried to fit it, but I can't get any sound......

I have a Sony CDX-MP40 head unit. I have an amp powering front components connected to the front audio out terminals, an amp powering a sub connected to the rear audio out terminals (the head unit powers the rear speakers through the normal ISO connectors), and a Dension ICElink connected to the audio in terminals (a mikeythemini special

).

I have managed to get the kit to mute OK by connecting the HU's ATT lead to the mute feed from the Parrot kit. The Parrot kit connects to the HU via ISO connectors.
Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting no sound, and how to fix????

Its cos youve got an amp on the fronts
How is the amp wired to the speakers?
There is a way to get it working, ring me at the office if you like

Mike, I managed to get it working by intercepting the left speaker cables from the amp that you had helpfully routed behind the head unit when you did my install. I spliced in the left speaker cables from the Parrot ISOs into the speaker feed and it works like a charm. Might need a rev-counter mounting bracket from you tho'.

Mind you, getting the whole lot back behind the head unit was a little tricky!!
