2000 SL500 Bose Stereo Question

I just received my Parrot CK-3100 Bluetooth kit and am planning to perform the install this weekend. The kit is setup to with an ISO connector "Y" adapter for "plug and play". But only if your radio uses ISO connectors for power, speaker, mute, etc., (not the D2B fiberoptic buss). Does anyone know if the 2000 SL500 Bose stereo head unit is equipped with ISO pinout connectors?

Thanks,

- FD

Thank you to myself for getting the service manuals on DVD-ROM (including the entire car wiring diagram). And yes, the pinout to the Bose is ISO, but the so-called speaker outputs are really balanced line level outputs (that go to the auxillary amplifier) so I had to swap the speaker level lines with the line level lines in the Ck-3100 wiring harness (15 mintue mod). Otherwise, the system was plug and play.
