I have an early D3 HSE with HK Logic7 and NO bluetooth- they are out there!
I just fitted a Parrot MKi9200 and wanted to keep the factory amp and speaker setup, and wanted to plug in an iPod or stream bluetooth audio from my iPhone as well as take calls. After a lot of searching I found the perfect solution. This connection lead setup replaces the Parrot cables completely. Most of it (all but the aux connections) plugs in to the HK amp under the drivers seat (UK right hand drive). It comes with an extension cable to run between the amp and the dash so the rest of the wiring (Parrot blue box) etc can be fitted behind the dash. streamed or iPod music works perfectly through all 14 speakers as per standard. This version also comes with a little box that detects the engine running on the power line from the amp and creates a switching live so you don't have to run one of those to the unit either. It also has separate fuses, and special mute relays which will mute all the speakers except the fronts when you use the phone.
It's a lot of wiring to fit under the seat (make sure it doesn't catch on the moving seat) but it just all clips together and works.
Here is the link to the one I bought on eBay. I emailed them first as they do lots for LR's but this is the one!

Mine is an 's spec guys not HSE. Would a HSE head unit sort my problem out ? I have the 6 disc player at the moment just no Bluetooth fitted. Thanks

They probably do a cheaper lead for your setup

I'm just about to attempt this, I've bought
Parrot mki9200 - Bluetooth audio FTW
Parrot Unika Steering Wheel Kit - For next back green red phone button controls
My idea was to use the boxes output to feed to the Headunit Aux on the back.
What does this cable do differently?

The setup I used connects everything correctly including mute relays etc. So music plays through all speakers, but when you get a call it mutes the speakers and only uses the front speakers for the phone call2005 Discovery 3 HSE

I relocated my head unit under the second row seats. The audio of the new head unit now passes through a harness off the aux connection. There are obviously some downsides with that.D3 SE with Hankook MT 275/65/R18, IID BT Tool, ProSpeed rock/tree sliders + compressor guard, RLD sump guard & winch tray + 13,000lb hidden winch, Gearbox guard, Frontrunner 80l aux tank with fuel gauge, V8 brake upgrade, Traxide USI-160 dual battery system, Frontrunner ladder, custom boot storage, Lazer LED driving lights, de-cat exhaust, Aftermarket Oro TPMS, i7 Mac Mini touch screen install (running Windows 10) mirrored on rear screens.

Cables arrived - installed perfectly, comes with all the required mute boxes when a call is in progress turns off rear speakers, otherwise, runs 24/7 it's great
Option of letting Parrot override the head unit, or use the AUX input on the back, allowing for standard volume control.

Yes, this cable (https://www.carcommunications.co.uk/kram-67687sx499v1da201-land-rover-discovery-iii-parrot-nokia-bury-music-mute-lead) with Parrot MKI adapter works great.
