Removing stereo http://www.jamessimpson.co.uk/ford-focus-mk2-5-2008-stereo-removal

ISO connector is used by parrots and is very common on most new cars so should plug straight in.

No cutting wires etc etc, it should just plug in to your exsiting connections on stereo.

Quiet easy infact.

What model parrot kit is it you have.

You are able to get a wiring manual from here, just click on what kit you have, and make of car etc etc.

The Parrot instructions say ""The RED cable needs to be connected to a constant 12 volt supply and the ORANGE wire needs to be connected to the switched 12 volt supply (Ignition ON/OFF)""

The Parrot ISO (block connectors) are simple..they just plug in betweent he car's wiring and the back of the stereo.

On the parrot the 12v permanent and switched feeds are taken from the ISO plugs. The mention of the two supply colours in the instruction is because some cars have the permanent and switched feeds reversed. The fix that you just swap the fuse holders over.

If your radio turns off when you take the keys out you already have the correct wiring in place. You may need to reverse the two fuse holders if your wiring doesn't match the parrot.

Its just a case of, unpluging your stereo, and plug parott kit in to your stereo, and then plugging stereo wiring back in to parott kit.
I would do it for you, but I do not fancy the job of removing your stereo.
Not 100% certain, but once stereo is removed, it may be found that you need extra wiring kit to install parott kit.

Also if you are going to remove stereo, make sure you have stereo code.
