Bluetooth Parrot Draining Battery

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

When I bought the car this device was already fitted:

Problem is red/green light stay on all the time draining the battery.

 

Instead of removing this device totally from car how do I just stop this device consuming electric or turn it off? Or shall I attempt to fix wiring so it turn off with keys out of ignition?

 

I removed the radio head unit and took photo behind it. So many wires don't know what to do.

 

I took photos seen below.

 

Also note I have a multi CD changer in boot.

This looks like the parrot loom is connected to the car radio loom. Once the parrot loom is removed the radio one goes directly to the car rather than via the parrot one. I am struggling to advise, from here.  

The speaker one is the tricky one as they split that from the main connector. All connectors have a lever/clip to hold them in usually. 

Seems also some splicing has occurred. If you do want to try, mark stuff up take more individual pictures before attempting as you can always put back,  if things go wrong. 

Your car doesn't have a switched ignition feed to the stereo but the parrot needs a switched ignition to turn on/off correctly....

 

Cheapest fix is to find which wire should be switched ignition on the parrot and rewire it to an appropriate spare fuse in the fusebox.

 

Parrot also sell a separate CAN-bus adaptor that would do the same thing,
