Tip - SOT Leads for Parrot kits.
This
page gives installation advice about installation of ISO Parrot Car Kit leads.
To buy an SOT lead for installing a Parrot kit to your car, select from the Vehicle make on the Left, please read these note below prior to installation. If there is no SOT lead listed for your vehicle, and the vehicle does not have ISO connections, you can still connect the parrot kit using the 06-### series Telemute lead listed for your vehicle, in combination with 06-423B / 06-426B / 06-427B for your chosen Parrot kit.

Kit Installation SOT Leads
The SOT
series leads are designed to install aftermarket hands free kits such as Parrot with ISO connections. They are provided in two parts, one lead
attaching to the Car Wiring loom converting this to ISO the same as Car Radio
harness adaptors, this then plugs into the Car Kit. The second lead is then ISO
from the Car Kit and plugs back into the Car Radio. They are designed for using
any ISO accessory and are not required where the Car already has ISO
Connections.
Please read
carefully the information below, in particular comments regarding Power
connections even if your vehicle appears to plug directly into the Parrot Kit.
FITTING A PARROT KIT TO YOUR VEHICLE
The Parrot hands free kits come with their own ISO harness (ISO = universal fitting connectors). If your vehicle is running an ISO connector, then the Parrot kit can be fitted directly to the vehicles stereo, however, if your vehicle is not fitted with ISO, then an adaptor will be required to create it. These adaptors are called SOT leads, the diagram below gives a rough representation of what it achieves.
Connectors 1, 2, 3-A and 4-A are all part of the SOT loom. If connectors 3-A and 4-A (ISO Female and Male) were plugged together, the whole loom would just be an extension of the vehicles wiring.
Connectors 3-B and 4-B (ISO Male and Female) represent the Parrots harness, as does connector 8, which would be the kits specific link and would vary depending on which Parrot kit was being fitted.
POWER WIRING
All SOT looms create a standard ISO power set up to allow a generic piece of ISO equipment to plug in line. On a Parrot car kit, it has French ISO power configuration, which means the Battery and Ignition lines are reversed to standard, so you will need to swap the wires on one side of the Parrots fuse connections, so instead of RED-fuse-RED and ORANGE-fuse-ORANGE, the configuration will become RED-fuse-ORANGE and ORANGE-fuse-RED.
Should the vehicle not have an ignition supply at the stereo (CAN BUS technology) then the SOT loom will come with a flying wire to enable pick up from an alternative source. You will still need to swap the fuse positions even in this circumstance.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS FITTED WITH ISO, PLEASE VERIFY ITS POWER POSITIONS BEFORE PLUGGING THE PARROT LOOM IN-LINE
Installation
Procedure
1) Remove
the Car Radio ensuring you have security codes required.
2)
Install one lead into the Car Wiring loom.
3)
Install the other lead into the Car Radio.
4)
Install the Hands Free kit between the two new leads as instructed by the
manufacturer of the hands free kit.
Please
note that some Vehicles do not have a Switched Ignition supply at the head unit,
and therefore a switched supply needs to be fed from the Fuse Box to the orange
wire on the Parrot Loom. Information on this is available from Technical.
In some
cases mute wires require connection to the hands free kit, these instructions
should be provided with the Telemute lead, or in case of difficulties on this
issue contact Amour Automotive on their technical helpline 0900 1020 119 or by
e-mail to technical@armourautomotive.uk.com
