Re: Parking sensor and audio mute [SOLVED]

Hello, happy new year to all.

I have a question. I have on my car the parking sensor aftermarket, he has a cable that can be connected to the radio to send in the mute state when the reverse is inserted. How do I connect it to connect my Pioneer?

Thank's a lot.

I think you'd use the mute wire for that... :?: unsure.

 

But... inquiring minds want to know... why would you want the radio muted if you put it in reverse?

Thank's for reply.

Where can I find the mute wire? which corresponds to pin?

I probably explained wrong. I don't want put the radio in reverse. the electronic control of my parking sensors provide a wire to connect the radio that sends a signal to turn the radio on mute.

If I remember correctly, it's yellow with a black stripe. Your parking sensor needs to send a ground signal to it to trigger the mute.

if I remember correctly, I already tried to connect the yellow with a black stripe wire, but the radio does not switch to mute. I am not sure that parking sensors send the signal to ground or a +12

You can verify the mute input wire by grounding it. If it mutes, then it's working properly.

If it works properly, then use a meter or some kind of test light to check what kind of output your parking sensor is sending. If it's a +12V output, then you'll need to reverse this with a relay or a more complicated but clever way would be to use a transistor.

Great suggestion, thank you very much! I'll try to test the yellow wire and test the signal of parking sensors and then decide what to do.

All ok. I can not explain how but had accidentally broken the wire from the control of parking sensors that came on the radio yellow with a black stripe wire. All solved :wink: Thanks!
