Parrot Bluetooth Install Robert Jordan 2006

I am not an electrical engineer. What follows is a documentation of what worked for me on a 2006 A4 with Symphony II head unit. If your A4 has BOSE and/or Nav, what worked for me may not work for you. Proceed at your own risk.

A special thanks goes out to Terry Wright at SIO Communications for answering my questions on the SIO Technical Support Forum.
