Parrot Bluetooth/Satellite/IPod Issue

I hope you can help me.
I have a MINI R50 2006. I believe I have the stock radio - no amp.
I just bought a Parrot Bluetooth 3100 with harness from another NAM member. I was assured that the harness was compatible with my satellite radio. It is not. The satellite radio clip that snaps into the stock harness that attaches to the back of the radio does not fit into the Parrot harness I have. Therefore I cannot install the Parrot and keep my satellite radio operational.
Also, I was told that the harness I have doesn't integrate with my MFSW. How can I tell this for sure?
I've pulled the radio, done the install via the MINI-specific harness, and I get no power to the Parrot. I called Parrot and they told me it may be because my radio doesn't draw enough power to also power the Parrot.
Finally, I also have the factory IPod adapter in the glove box. I cannot run both the satellite radio and the IPod because the Blitzsafe adaptor I have won't run both.
1) can't run the Parrot and satellite radio
2) MFSW compatibility?
3) Parrot not getting power with the supplied MINI harness
4) IPod/Parrot/satellite/stock radio integration?

I've sent an email to NewMINIStuff in the UK about 10 days ago, not heard back from them?? I've read on here that they're a great source of help on these types of issues.

I hope I have stated my issues clearly.

Thanks so much for your assistance.

I have a lot of experience getting my Parrot interfaced correctly in my 2003 MCS. I also have factory wiring diagrams, so I may be able to help.

PM me for more details and discussion.
