To this pin I then connected my orange Parrot wire. I disconnected it and removed the little brown plastics that hold the pins in it place and removed middle pin. After (multi)metering the wires I found that the middle one was controlled by ignition (≈12 V). The ciggy lighter is connected with a three wired connector. Next I removed the ashtray by removing 4 screws. At this point the radio is working and the hands free unit is only connected by black and red wiring. I removed the orange wire/pin (the one with the fuse) from the Parrot ISO block (use you smallest screwdriver or other sharp object to push the locking thing) and cut the orange wire as near as possible at the pin. Working with the black and green connectors sounded more difficult than doing the ashtray wiring. The dealer can make a switched current (+) wire from the fusebox, is this easily done?
This guy told me I shouldn't touch the green and black connectors " better leave them alone before you mess up things." Nobody knows anything about carkit preperation on the late 146 models. The guy didn't even know that there were 146'ers WITH carkit connectors I'll bring my car to them later today and we'll have a look. What to do now? I think I'll contact my Alfa dealer later today and see if they have a solution. The black one has it's pins 90 degrees rotated and the block has extra plastics on it. The green is totally different - both shape of the block as the pins in it. The black one isn't descibed in the manual but looking at the coloring of wires it seems a standard radio type connector.īoth connectors don't fit my Parrot CK3100 connector. The green one is described in my manual as being a carkit connector - it has switched 12 volts and antenna connection. I saw two spare blocks, one black and one green. Yesterday I had a look into the transmission tunnel, behind the right panel.
