Title: Where to get ignition feed for handsfree kit???
Post by: jaffa666 on April 17, 2010, 10:33:21 am: Hey troops in the middle of installing the parrot handsfree kit to the golf, got the centre console out and got everything plugged in but I am left with a red wire coming from the sot adaptor, which I am guessing is the ignition feed.
Where is the easiest place to get an ignition feed and what colour is the wire.
Cheers in advance.

Have a search on here and uk-mkivs.net, someone has a thread with a photo showing which slot in the fusebox to use.

I used these when I first had my Parrot kit in and it worked perfectly
