Hi all,
I bought a second hand Parrot MKI9100 off Ebay to put into my W203 and attempted to fit it today. I have a Merc adaptor cable for it which seems to all work ok apart from the fact that I have no switched live feeding the Audio 20. To test it, I connected the switched live and permanent live from the Parrot box to the perm live from the car and it all works fine, however I don't want to wake up to a flat battery so have disconnected it for tonight.
I read on one of the posts that people have taken the switched live from the cigarette lighter but mine seems to be live even with the key out. I even left it for 10 mins to see if it would turn off but it didn't.
To clarify, by cigarette lighter, I mean the 12V accessory socket in the compartment below the air con controls.
Has anyone had a similar experience or have any ideas on where to get a switched live from?
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
