Guest Gitster Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Its tricky, but look at the diagrams. Follow the colors of the wires to see whats for speakers and what for power. Im not going to pull mine out right now and take pics. Maybe tommorow. Heres the diagram. Pin out Subaru2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Its all quick connects, some of the wires aren't used. You dont have to physically power it if you use the harness properly. Its all plug an play, you dont use any of the wires that dont have a connector on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gitster Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Are there fuses in the fuse holders in the harness??? If so, try reversing the two leads on the fuse holders like they say in the manual. Check the fuses for breakage as well. Theres two harnesses, one for power and one for speakers, with the Subaru Harness, you can provide power thorough the original harness to the HU a couple different ways without the bluetooth working. It took me a while but I got everything eventually. If your not getting power to your HU, I would say its a fuse on your fuse block, or in the fuse holders on the harness. Good luck.

antny Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 My headunit has power and plays fine the parrot is not powering up. Thanks for all the help. This is why I hate electrical haha. Like I said I lost day light today so I will tackle it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Sorry ive been out of the loop on this thread.....as far as wiring my only suggestion would be what was already mentioned about making sure you switch the fuses as the directions say. Im using the Motorola Razor with mine and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I havent had time to look into it further. But the manual stated that "When fuses are properly connected, bluetooth kit will say 'Goodbye' when you turn off the car." I dunno if its how our LGTs cut power when turning off the car, but I experimented several ways and I do not get the "Goodbye." But on the other hand it doesnt drain my battery or loose its memory when the car is off either so I think I have it hooked up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antny Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I got it working finally after actually messing with it. It is plug and play but my problem was dealing with the previous owner cutting some wires from the original harness. It powers up and works fine now. Thanks for everyone that helped out with inputs.

dmkzzz Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I was told by the installer at Tweeter that to do a Parrot install, I would have to lose the subwoofer. Any input on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hmmmm ... from doing my own install, I wouldnt think so. Factory Woofer?? All it does it interrupt the Audio and Power harnesses going to the factory radio. Im not exactly sure how the factory woofer splices in there, but it virtually just interrupts these cable paths and then continues them into the back of the HU. Maybe its a power consumption issue?? I doubt the BT kit takes anywhere near as much power as the Sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmkzzz Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The sub was installed by the dealer. Don't know where the sub comes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 If you look at the online sites that sell the plug and play harnesses they say will work with all models WITHOUT factory subwoofer. Tweeter guy is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmkzzz Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 So, what do I do to get bluetooth in this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Just cause it says the harnesses dont work with factory sub, doesnt explain anything, call Parrot or send them an email for a further technical explanation and post it here to see if we can figure something around it !

dmkzzz Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Called Parrot, they said that the unit will not interupt the sub. The Tweeter guy said that if you tried it, the subs volume will go way up when you mute the speakers. Doesn't sound like something I want to try. I think I'll just get a Tom Tom with Bluetooth included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I would say its pretty easy to wire a remote mute button for the Sub, acts just like a switch on the 12V feed. Any custom stereo shop could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Anybody install one of these with a JL Clean sweep installed? Im guessing it would fit in-line no problem.. but just want to be sure. Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerami1981 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 anyone have a suggestion for me as to how to get rid of reverb or echoing on my system. I am not using the parrot, but i do have a different bluetooth kit and i have my mic mounted in the right part of my sun visor in that little elastic tab. I cant modulate the volume for the speakers during a phone call and the mic picks up the people talking to me and it just makes a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac1203 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I would love one of these, but Verizon sucks with bluetooth, and Id have to switch to Cingular. Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Called Parrot, they said that the unit will not interrupt the sub. The Tweeter guy said that if you tried it, the subs volume will go way up when you mute the speakers. Ah. The reason is because, on some model years, the sub gets its left channel input from a separate 8-pin jack on the rear of the radio. The right channel input comes from the HU's right rear speaker output. The Parrot mutes the radio by breaking the connection between the radio and the 4 speakers. That won't mute the sub output on the 8-pin jack. There are a few possible work-arounds to keep your sub: A) Convert your subwoofer harness to get the left channel from the left rear speaker output (very easy mod). Then the sub will be muted along with the 4 speakers. B) For certain models/years, that same 8-pin socket includes pins for a phone audio input and a mute function. Grounding the mute pin mutes whatever source was playing on the HU, sends the mono audio signal to the front speakers (at a medium volume -- independent of what your volume setting was before), and the radio displays "CALL" on the LCD. That would be the best option if you have one of the HUs that supports it. C) You could just ground the phone mute control pin to silence the audio source. It will mute the subwoofer output on the 8-pin socket also. Then let the Parrot send their audio directly to the speakers through their funky T-harness. If anyone is interested, I can post more details later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
