Why Do I Need a Harness Adapter?

Parrot is a world leader in aftermarket bluetooth car kits. Being designed in Europe where automotive radio connectors are frequently of the standard ISO type, all models of Parrot are now produced with matching ISO connectors for a quick and seamless installation in European vehicles. US vehicles are different - even those manufactured in Europe for the US market. We are only aware of a very few US domestic or import model that uses the standard ISO connectors that come with the Parrot kit! Even though the Parrot literature calls their control box a "universal" interface, trying to plug the Parrot connectors into your car is like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. In the past, US installers of Parrot kits have had to get very creative to install Parrot products. They have frequently tapped into the 32 individual connections of the Parrot harness and hand wired them into your vehicle. This has led to considerable expense, modifications of the existing vehicle's wiring, forfeiting the mute feature which is an important part of the Parrot experience and having to hardwire a remote speaker under the dash. The latter is probably the most disturbing compromise, since the Parrot audio was designed to emanate from the existing car audio system for a surround sound effect. Finally, there is always the risk of a wiring mistake even in the best of hands. Our Quick Connect™ adapters were designed to do all the work for you - often without cutting or splicing a single wire!
