Install Guide - Parrot CK3000 into a 2005 CTS-V
This is a very straight forward install. The hardest part is running the power to the trunk and tucking the
wires for the control and microphone. This work can be minimized however depending on where you mount
everything. I have photographed where I put everything and how I did it, because I think this is the best way
to do it, you may feel differently. But in principle, you can change the mounting locations and the wiring and
such is still the same.
Some notes before you get started:
• You must modify the car to get switched power. There is none readily available (at least not in my
car) I will start with this in the next section.
• With this power mod, the bluetooth kit will stay active for 10 minutes after you turn off the ignition.
There is no way to avoid this, unless you tap into switched power from one of the fuse panels. This is
not covered in this guide, but you can find details at www.cadillacfaq.com.
• This install uses an external speaker, not the car’s speakers, and does not mute the radio. When a
call comes in, you will have pause or turn down the stereo volume by hand.
• This guide covers the parrot kit. Installation should be the same for any parrot CK3x00 kit, and similiar
for a Motorola or Nokia car kit. They draw the same power as the parrot (ground, 12v constant, and
12v switched). And they have a control pad and microphone you will have to locate as well. Also, I
have a 2005 CTS-V. But any 2004-2007 should be the same procedure. If you have a V-6 CTS, again
same procedure, but you will not have to install a relay for the power mod. Moving the fuses should
be all you have to do.
Here is what is included with the Parrot kit:
