Correct - if you don't connect the radio mute wire the CK3000 will still cut sound from the radio going to the front speakers.

I also hear (people ordered the kit and had to return) that if your car has a Bose audio system the CK3000 will not work, or at least no has figured out the wiring

I imagine the Bose system would have active speakers then? That's the only reason I can come up with why it wouldn't work with the CK3000.

I bought the CK3000 and had problems getting it installed because of the external amplifier.
The dealer tried it very hard (~10 hrs), but in the end he came to the conclusion, that it won't work with my car (;_; )

I guess I don't understand why it would not work with an external amp, what prevents this. it seems Bose is common in a few cars like Lexus, Audi, etc.

The reason installing could be difficult with external amplifiers (active speakers) is because the CK3000 output is intended to be hooked up straight to regular speakers. The output level is way too high to connect to a regular audio input (usually these "phono" plugs) of an external amplifier (which is what I suppose these dealers try to do).
It's supposed to be installed like this:
RADIO->->->->CK3000->->->->SPEAKERS
What I think the dealer is trying to do in the case of the external amplifier is this:
RADIO->->->->CK3000->->->->AMPLIFIER->->->->SPEAKERS
But what should be done is:
RADIO->->->->AMPLIFIER->->->->CK3000->->->->SPEAKERS
In the case where each speaker has its own amplifier built in (true active speakers), this would be hard to accomplish, but not impossible (just a lot of work).
I could be wrong that this is the problem with the Bose systems, but unless anyone has a different suggestion, this is my best bet.

Here is the response I received from Parrot on the Bose issue:
Hello,
Thank you for showing interest to our technology.
If you have an amplifier in your car, you have for the moment to use an external speaker.
This one would allow the sound to be not too loud,
Best Regards,

@Elmar
Hi,
you stated that the CK3000 only connects to the phone during sync and conversation. I have a T68i and a P800, which I want to use both on my CK3000. Can this be done ? Not simultaniously offcourse, but I want to be able to receive calls on both phones. Calling out is not that much of a priority.
Regards,
Edwin
