The power supply for the UNIKA interface is taken from the power cable
of the Parrot MKi. It is important to follow the color code of the power
cable wires: the red wire of the kit’s cable corresponds to the permanent
12V supply; the orange wire corresponds to the ignition 12V ; the black
wire is for ground ; the yellow wire corresponds to the Parrot mute output.
Warning : Connect the ignition to the Parrot car kit if the vehicle is
based on a resistive or a K-Bus protocol. Don’t connect the ignition
if the vehicle is based on a CAN protocol.
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.
Power supply
We recommend you to install the Parrot MKi before installing the
UNIKA. Make sure the installation is correctly performed by checking if the
«Good bye» message is displayed when you turn off the ignition.
