Wiring problems with PARROT

[Whiteman]

Parrot CK3000 evo
Hei guys,

i've bought this bluetooth kit .

Can anybody give me some pics how the wiring is behind their radio ??

Because it's with a universal wiring and now i have to know how the connect the speakerwires ??

My dealer tells that the audio-signal has to be connected BEHIND the amplifier because i tried it between the radio and the amplifier and the audio was to weak ???

My volume of the kit and cellphone was on the loudest volume ??

Please help me


May'be somebody has the colors of the wires starting from the amplifier to the speakers ??

TNX

I think if you connect behind the amplifier you will lose the benefit of the amplification of the Parrot signal, and the sound could be even quieter. I think that connecting behind the radio, and before the amplifier, is the correct way to go. I also have a Parrot kit installed (the earlier CK3000, non-EVO), and I agree that the sound is quieter than the radio's, but you can adjust the volume during a call using the volume buttons on the steering wheel (another advantage of connecting before the amplifier). I was advised that the radio output is already at speaker level (so no attenuator is required - as you've discovered), so maybe the amplifier simply provides better tone control and the ability to drive better speakers, and in fact it might actually attenuate the signal - not really sure! If that is the case, I suppose you might benefit from connecting after the amplifier. However, I was definitely advised that the Parrot kit should sit between the radio and the amplifier.

I used a harness adapter from SIOcomminucations.co.uk (http://www.siocommunications.co.uk/S...SOT-046&page=1). I had to add an ignition-controlled live feed, but that was easy to take from the front cigarette lighter. Terry at SIO was very helpful, so I would suggest you check with him that this part is right for your kit and your car. I note that his website says they are closed until 20th August.
