Actually before i forget (and while i wait for the replacement MULTICAN to arrive) Does anyone have any idea what the telephone mute input should do with the stereo when on a call, as i located the correct cable from RudeJA's post and i tried that (and 2 other possible candidates) however NONe of them did anything different!! i would have thought that it'd put something up on the screen to symbolise you're on a call. I don't mean anything fancy like caller ID, signal strength, etc, just simply "On a Call", or a telephone symbol.
Also as for the MULTICAN it has 3 wires for connecting to the steering wheel connections that go into the stereo. Now depending on whether you have a K-BUS or CAN-BUS connection determines (in the MULTICAN instructions) which of the 3 wires you connect to the appropriate pin out of the stereo plug. However, on RudeJA's post that shows the pin out descriptions it list 2 pins as K-CAN
so what are our stereos CAN-BUS or K-BUS???

Just carried this out on a 2007 (March Build date) 520d, many thanks to the OP as I followed the tutorial and ordered the exact parts.
A couple of hints though:
1. If at all possible, avoid ordering from Expansys. It took me two months to get them to fulfill the order. At one point they claimed the multican adaptor was now obsolete. I cancelled and ordered via the Parrot website, but to my dismay this redirects to Expansys when you checkout. However this order worked so the parts came within 5 days.
2. The ISO adaptors are great, however there is a fundamental problem as they are wired wrong if you have Can Bus. The Ignition and Permanent Positive are crossed over so this has to be rectified on the cable heading up to the Multican/CK3000 unit. You also need to pick-up the ignition - did this from the cigarette lighter which is easier to get at on the LCI.
The kit when fitted is great and the storage of the voice tags within the unit is a great feature.

I am just about to get a e60 (2008 - LCI version) and am keen to install a CK3000 in the car, and i am pretty happy with what needs to be done (mostly thanks to this excellent thread).
My only question is regards to possibly swapping the power wires, i.e:

Just have a couple of questions:
- Is this necessary with a official parrot ISO adapter (i know i would need to get igintion off the cigarette lighter)?
- if so would my car be using a can-bus (car has business nav).
- If the wires are swapped in the way into the parrot do they need swapping on the way back out. (i.e. on the other iso adapter?).
Am almost ready to install it but want to get this bit right in my head before i begin
Thanks for your help,
Flak.

Cracking thread this. Have just (3 hours ago) collected my 520d M Sport in Carbon Black. Had the Parrot 3100 system in my (dont laugh) Chrysler 300 touring. I have ordered the same system for the BMW and it should be here tomorrow, so all going well, be fitted this Saturday.
Excellent forum, and thanks again for the info.
