Hi all,
I've got a Parrot CK3000 evolution hands free kit but I'm really not impressed with the low volume. It cranked up to full but on the motorway it's not great. Does any one have any workarounds which have increased the volume?
I also have a MFSW, how hard us it to get the buttons to work with the handsfree?
Thanks in advance
-
I have the CK3100 kit and thing the volume is poor too :sad1:
-
Depends how it's been connected to the hu
If it's on the proper tel leads, then the hu will amplify the sound so you can up the volume on both the parrot and the hu
-
Alex, I used the propper SOT 076 lead..
-
That would be why then
Im guessing your music doesnt pause - instead the parrot just cuts in over the top and directs the audio through the speakers

Yep :sad1:
Any way around it?
-
Small bit of rewiring
What HU do you have?
-
RNS-510 with MDI & Parrot kit connected.
-
Its a bit of chopping involved, plus a plastic housing and three repair wires from VW....nothing a few hours wont fix
where abouts are you based?
-
Based in Newcastle, Alex.
-
Bit too far from me :signLOL:
Ill get the parts list and make a mini instruction list for you :happy2:

I'm going to check mine in the morning as to whether it mutes or pauses the HU...I suspect I already know the answer..
How much are the necessary leads?
-
Under £10.
Just requires a bit of manual intervention to get it sorted.

Brilliant, thanks Alex!
I'm liking the sound of this. Can you post up the details of the parts needed/supplier and guide etc? I have (rather sad) RCD 300 at present...
Is it simple enough for a dummy like me to undertake?
-
Aye
Requires a bit of chopping of the parrot loom, but who cares :signLOL:
-
A few more details from a post I made the other day
Buy 2 of this part number
000 979 009
And one of these:
12 Pin Green Flat Contact Housing (Plug) Radio/Telephone Connection - 3B7 035 447 B
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 so make sure you connect it!
You will find that, as it has been connected up with an ISO loom, youll have to "make" the wiring for the three wires out of the parrot by means of extension. Youll have to get a pic of the parrot blue and black units with their wiring so I can tell you which ones

Does this help, Alex?

The volume on mine is fine (too loud sometimes!) and pauses my music instead of just muting it.
-
Yours is done properly then
Ill look into that wiring tonight
-
Thanks for all your input so far Alex :happy2:
-
I got round to checking my Head unit/Parrot set up and it does pause the music but the volume doesn't work. I assume somethings not quite right... :confused:
-
The volume doesnt work on the HU or the Parrot?
-
Looking at the pic
Line- would be Tel R-
Yellow Mute would be Tel Mute
Line+ would be Tel R+
Parrots are just messy for integration - youd have to unplug both ISO adapters from that quadlock loom and just use those three on the new connector i mentioned above
Redev- on yours, they have connected the mute, but left the audio going through the ISO blocks rather than via the HU on the proper terminals
-
That sounds like it could be it as the volume on the parrot works but the output from the head unit/speakers remains the same while in call (although the display on the headunit shows the volume going up and down) when I adjust the volume switch/buttons on the steering wheel...
Is it just a case of switching one cable then?
I'm just trying to get an idea so when I go back to the installer I can tell them what exactly they need to do..cheers Alex
-
Two possibly three cables
It needs to be put into the 12pin TEL housing on the pins highlighted in my earlier post.
