Hi all I have been trying to install a parrot mk9200 to my A3 S Line 2006 which has a symphony cd/cassette head unit.

I have managed to install all of the parts but It is not working from what I am guessing I need to find a connection from the ignition so it has a fed to turn on and off. I looked at the cigarette lighter but that is on a permanent live. Does anyone know where I can run a ignition powered cable from and what colour the cable would be that I need to piggy back from?

Also do I need to fit an earth cable or will it be fine without one?

I solved a similar problem supplying power to a satnav last year. I prised off the right hand end panel of the dash to expose one of the fuse boards and used a piggy back fuse (I think that's what it is called,) mounted over one of the existing fuses. I don't recall which fuse I used or what the colour was, but the wiring diagram will reveal which of them are switched from the key or you can use a meter. I suppose the ideal would be to use the existing radio fuse.

Thanks for the advice.

I got a piggy back fuse and wired it in and hey presto it works. The parrot only takes over the front speakers as the rear are powered by an amp but I'm more then happy with that.
