Serious help please - I can't get my RK8200 to turn on. I removed my Fiat standard stereo from my 07 Grande Punto, and connected the lead to the Parrot's ISO lead and tried turning on - nothing. No matter if the engine is running or not, I tried pressing every button on the parrot, holding them in, etc, nothing.
I looked at the Fiat's leads and compared it to the parrot's ISO connector, and found that the black lead from the parrot was matching up with black lead from the Fiat. Fine. I then noticed the yellow "ACC+" lead from the Parrot was matching up with the red/white power lead from the Fiat. I also noticed the red "Battery+" lead from the Parrot wasn't matching with ANYTHING in the Fiat, i.e. it was lining up with a blank space in the Fiat's connector. So, as per the manual, I tried swapping the yellow and red leads on the parrot ISO lead, so that now the red/white lead on the Fiat marries up with the red "Battery+" on the Parrot. Nothing. No matter if engine is running nor not, no matter which button I press, nothing.
I tried re-connecting my old Fiat stereo (just to make sure I hadn't buggered the Fiat's wiring when removing the old one), and it works fine still.
Tearing my hair out here, I've been waiting MONTHS for the RK8200. I'm do disappointed I could cry!
