Title: My RNS510
Post by: Johnny_tro on March 22, 2011, 04:46:02 pm: have a parrott connected - is there any interface plug for it to connect to the RNS?

Link?

or how much would it be to get the actual bluetooth working on the unit itself? is it easy to do?

Post by: alexperkins on March 22, 2011, 04:52:45 pm: Parrot is easy enough to get working. What did you have it connected to before?

You have to change the MUTE wire on the connector that will have been fitted to get it working on the RNS generally as it moved from one connector block to the other as I had on mine last week.

Youll need to get the Quadlock loom for the parrot as it snaps into that hole next to the blue multipin connector

There should be a third yellow wire connected from the parrot kit to the black 8 pin plug on the quadlock to - this also has to be moved to the new loom

Post by: vRStu on March 22, 2011, 06:35:40 pm: Lol, I've seen that before it's horrendous.

I guess a 'professional' installer who doesn't now about or wish to use the plugs to fit the unit properly.

You can buy the plug and a repair wire to use with it which will sort you out.

Post by: Johnny_tro on March 22, 2011, 06:55:03 pm: Quadlock loom << best place to get ones guys? whats a decent price for one?

Should I just stick with my parrott rather than try get the 'PHONE' working on the RNS?
Title: Re: My RNS510
Post by: vRStu on March 22, 2011, 07:00:13 pm: What Quadlock loom do you want? What do you want on the other end?

The RNS510 doesn't have a phone it simply has support for a phone :happy2:
Title: Re: My RNS510
Post by: alexperkins on March 22, 2011, 07:01:25 pm: All you'd need is the 10 pin Green Housing with 3 repair wires for Tel R + Tel R - and Tel Mute

Then its just a case of crimping :)

Post by: vRStu on March 22, 2011, 07:04:01 pm: 12 Pin Green Flat Contact Housing (Plug) Radio/Telephone Connection - 3B7 035 447 B

Title: Re: My RNS510
Post by: Johnny_tro on March 22, 2011, 08:08:41 pm: so I get one of these 3B7 035 447 B < and simply attach the wires from the Parrot?

Is it expensive to get the phone option working on the RNS? and is it easy to setup?
Title: Re: My RNS510
Post by: alexperkins on March 22, 2011, 08:10:01 pm: Youll need some repair wires too..hold on ill get the part number
Title: Re: My RNS510
Post by: vRStu on March 22, 2011, 08:20:35 pm: The repair wire that Alex will give you the number for will have 2 ends on each so you need two wires to get the 3 ends you need.

Buy the plug for a couple of ££ and then fix the wires onto your Parrot wires, fit them into the plug and away you go.

Title: Re: My RNS510
Post by: alexperkins on March 22, 2011, 08:28:51 pm: As stu says, buy 2 of this part number

000 979 009

Connect the wiring to these pins, and make sure you wire the Parrot wires appropriately - there will be three from the Parrot

Pin 6 – Telephone audio input signal right, negative - Connect this to the WHITE wire
Pin 10 – Telephone mute (mute switch for radio) - Connect this to the YELLOW wire **
Pin 12 – Telephone audio input signal right, positive - Connect this to the RED wire

Crimp or solder them together, then pop each wire into its location in the housing. Youll need to pop the housing out its holder by sliding it out - its easy when you see it.

** The MUTE wire may not be connected to the radio at present - follow the loom that comes from the parrot to identify the mute wire. Its normally yellow on parrot kits, and connect this as above.

On the RNS510, if you dont connect the mute, it wont work :signLOL: so make sure you connect it!
