![]() No more than 30 minutes after the guy had turned up he had the whole thing installed to a far better standard than I did. I searched around behind the dash for an alternative source of power, but not having the wiring manual I gave up and did what I should have done in the first place: Got an Auto-Electrician in to do the job. This had me confused for a while until I realised that the connector I had bought to tap into the power lead had a poor and intermittent connection. What was a problem was that a few miles down the road the power failed to the control unit. I didn't have the radio mute working as I didn't have the correct wiring loom, but it didn't matter as turning the radio down was not a big issue. Took it out for a test drive: everything worked just fine. Paired up my phone: no problem, Paired a PDA to the GPS: no problem. I found it eventually though.Īfter I got it all installed I thought I would test it a bit. Even my son who had done this before could not remember the code. Yes you have guessed it: Enter Keycode! And, Yes I didn't know what the keycode was. Of course one of the things I did was remove the power to the stereo. There are then the connections for the LCD control screen, the GPS Antenna and the speakers, and Bobs your uncle it all works.Īfter testing to make sure all was OK I made everything nice and tidy, hid all the cables as much as possible, etc. Basically there are three power cables to connect up: permanent 12 volt, ignition switched 12 volt, and earth. I had purchased some cable clamps to allow me to tap into the power from the ignition, and off I went. In my eagerness to get it installed I removed the inside of my car dash board and had wires everywhere. This then removed the need to intercept the car speakers etc. The option I took was to order the auxiliary speaker. There are companies that make conversion leads between the proprietary audio systems and the ISO standard, but unfortunately not for either of these cars. When I was ordering the review sample I discovered that neither of my cars (Chrysler Voyager or Ford Probe) has a stereo with an ISO compatible wiring system. assuming that you have a car with an ISO standard audio wiring loom. You also need to be aware that despite the fact that a device may support a particular profile, you may need drivers to utilise it. At least that seemed to be the way it worked with my devices. The headset profile connects as and when it needs a connection, the handsfree is a permanent connection. When assessing if your combination will work be aware of the difference between the Headset profile and the Handsfree profile. There are a whole host of compatible phones, rather than list them all here I have provided this link to the official Parrot website. User connection priority management (up to 5 users). ![]()
