Newer Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep cars can be a bit tricky when installing our QCChJ-1 harness for Parrot Installation. Three problems are not uncommon.

Problem 1- The Parrot kit does not power up

The Parrot Kit does not light up after installing our harness and turning on the vehicle - or the Parrot's behavior is erratic. This can be due to the Parrot not receiving 12V switched voltage properly through the harness. On 2005+ Durangos, Magnums, Jeep Grand Cherokees and perhaps other models, you need to tap a separate source for 12V switched (ignition) voltage such as the fuse block or switched cigarette lighter. See the following diagram:

Please tape over the end of the unused cut orange wire leading to the Parrot plugs. Only the top of the fuseholder should be connected to 12V switched.

Problem 2 - Mute is not occurring or is not complete

Music or noise is still emanating from some or all speakers or subwoofer during a call. This can usually be cured by pulling apart the 2 bullet connectors on the salmon colored wire of our harness. Attach the Parrot yellow mute wire to the side that mates properly. Tape over the unused side of the salmon colored wire. This will force a total mute during a Parrot call and only allow Parrot audio to get through to the speakers.

Problem 3 - No Parrot sound is heard during a call

This means that your car is likely amplified. There should have been a bag with 2 QC-REV extensions included with your harness. Please connect both of these connectors. One connects between the original Parrot black female ISO connector and our harness. The other connects between the original Parrot male ISO and our connector. You will notice that the 2 QC-REV's are installed inline 180 degrees opposite to each other. Remember, both QC-REV's must be used if needed.

Best of luck getting your harness working to your satisfaction.
