Parrot causes anti skid to fail

Hello,

My Mondeo Mk4 when it arrived had a parrot hands free system fitted and the radio was off, also the anti skid system. I got a radio from the Fords store which never closes, it cost £15 and set about removing the old radio, The centre consort and dash came out easily and and I was left with a miss mash of wiring harness plus a parrot. I traced the parrot harness and started disconnecting. I removed three boxes and several connection , a microphone and a control box leaving a sticky mess on the dash. I cut away at my butchered Ford wiring harness and finally got back to the original Ford harness and connectors, I refitted two missing connectors into the main radio block and connected the radio, rebuilt the centre consort and started the car. The radio works and the anti skid is now back on and working. I was told by Auto electrics that  if the parrot is connected wrongly it can put some electric off. Has anybody else had the problem.
