Folks, trying to install BT kit to this car. It's plain no-DSP/no-NAV radio system. However, this car has factory phone installed as an option if it matters?

I use wiring kit for plug-N-play install. 2 issues I have:

1. When parrot mutes system I can still hear music from CD changer very little.

2. When radio turned OFF and I operate phone - there is no audio. So, in order to use BT I have to have radio ON.

I installed same kit on wife's X5 and it works perfectly fine. Not sure if it doesn't have issue #1 (not really concerned about it) but it doesn't have issue #2 for sure. If I get a call - radio would come alive, say "Phone" on MID and it will go off after call completed. Is there any way to make my 97 540 to work same way?

Thanks!

Also, when #2 - also there is no sound - I can hear CLICK inside factory radio. When Parrot done and should Un-mute - there is another click like something operates in radio but wouldn't work right..
