Phone HBT Speaker

scorchio · 20th June 2008, 13:08

I have just picked up my new s type and had the HBT kit fitted.
The system mutes the radio but the audio is only out of the passenger side door.

I have just phoned the dealer who informed me this is correct.

On all the other cars I have had the incoming call is routed through all the speakers.

If the honda kit only comes through the passenger door £350 is an awful lot of money to layout.

I would be grateful if any can confirm if the dealer is correct or they have fitted it wrong.

Thanks
Rick

That's correct. I think it's to stop interference.

What does the Parrot kit do, anyone?

coming out of one speaker sounds a little odd.

My Parrot kit comes from both the front speakers, which is more than adequate.

Definitely what my Honda BT kit did. Going to be Parrot soon though...

Yes.. it does that.
It basically plugs inbetween headunit and speakers.
When you have a call, it mutes headunit, and you can hear relay 'click'.
What it does is re-route front right speaker over HBT, which has small internal amplifier.

And yes, it's quite odd way to do it.
