FITTING

This fitting guide only describes the procedure for fitting the Parrot MULTICOMM steering
wheel control interface. Do not hesitate to refer to the directions for use supplied with
your hands-free kit for further information on the fitting procedure. We would advise our
customers to have the interface fitted by a professional.
Note : In the rest of this guide, the abbreviation «SWC» will be used to replace the term «steering
wheel controls».
Fitting the Steering Wheel Control (SWC) Interface:
• Supply:
The power supply for the Parrot MULTICOMM interface is taken from the power cable
of the Parrot hands-free kit.
Depending on the model of your Hands free car kit,
the red and yellow wire from the interface power cable shall be connected to:
- The orange wire from the interface power cable,
if you have a Parrot CK3000 EVOLUTION.
- The red wire from the interface power cable, if you have a
Parrot CK3100 LCD.
- The black wire is for ground
- The yellow wire corresponds to the Parrot mute output
On some vehicles, the 12V power wires may be reversed, in which case you must reverse
the red and orange wires of the hands-free kit's power supply. This can easily be done by
reversing the two fuse holders on the kit's power cable.
Ensure that the orange wire is used for the ignition +12V. Otherwise, you might run down
the vehicle's battery. In this case, you must therefore connect the orange power wire to the
fuse box or another ignition power source.
• Mute:
Once the call is in progress, the Mute function will mute the car radio and your audio
system amplify voice your communication through car speakers.
The yellow wire of the Parrot MULTICOMM interface should be connected to the yellow
Mute wire of the Parrot hands-free kit and to the Mute input of your car stereo (if your car
stereo features a mute input).
If the car stereo features a mute input, connect the yellow wire of the kit's cable to the car
stereo's mute input. Check the position of your car stereo's mute input before connecting
the yellow wire. If necessary, test the three possible inputs and then select the one
corresponding to the mute input.
• Car stereo with ISO connectors:
Remove the audio and power ISO connectors from your car stereo and plug the male ISO
connectors of the hands-free kit into the car stereo. Connect the vehicle's audio and power
ISO connectors to the female ISO connectors of your hands-free kit.
