2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

Mute pin on Puma Landrover Radio

Does any-one know which is the mute pin on the "Landrover" radio / mp3 player (i.e. not the Alpine set installed in the later Pumas). According to ISO 10487 it should be Pin 2 on the A connector but I'm installing a Parrot kit and it gives 3 options for the mute connector. Did Landrover or whoever made the headset stick to the standard ?

The pre 2012 Pumas are using ISO plugs so should correspond to an ISO diagram.
I'm not sure however if there actually is a mute wire as it may not have been built in to be ever used.
My HU has a dedicated BT system by Parrot but works through the HU interface rather than being stand alone.
It automatically mutes without needing to add a mute wire

Steve - thanks for the reply. I'm guessing that there is a mute input as the manual gives the option of turning the mute on and off. As you suggest it probably won't make much difference, other than having "Mute" written on the screen as the Parrot unit cuts out the output from the headunit.

Is it a Parrot HU your fitting? Or do you have another brand of HU and fitting a Parrot BT device that connects into the ISO harness?

Sorry not made it clear - I've got the standard Landrover head unit (which I'm keeping) and fitting a Parrot Mki9100 unit. The connectors on the Parrot all fit okay, obviously standard ISO its just working out which is the mute.

I get you, have you fitted it and tested or just checking first?
Is the mute wire bare ended or going into the ISO block?

Aftermarket HU's normally have a bare ended mute wire on the rear which the OE does not but maybe there still.

What Parrot do is provide 3 wires into the A Block with female bullet connectors, you then plug the mute output of the Parrot, which is on a male bullet connector (I guess is pulled down to 0v to mute) into one of these. Quite clever really but I don't want to put a 0v output from the Parrot to say a +12V active aerial output from the headunit.

If you 'PM' me your email address I'll try and email you the factory wiring details if I can find it.
It's on the other PC though on CD so might take me an hour or two.

Any help?

Managed to sort it today. The mute is on Pin 1 on the A connector, tested it by shorting the pin to earth. Why Landrover have not stuck to the standard I cannot understand. Thanks for the help
