Recently installed a Parrot Bluetooth kit in my C-6. I used the heated seat fuse for power. Problem is the Parrot only works when the engine is running. Is there another switched fuse that I can tap so the Parrot will run on accessory mode without the engine running?
TIA

I didn't do any testing with my volt meter for that when I was tracking down a source to trip my amp so I can't answer that question for ya unfortunately. What I suggest is perhaps looking into this little bugger:

This would give you full RAP functionality. There's a serial data bus wire in the stereo harness you could tap into, as well as +12V to hook this up. I'll have to check the SM when I get home to remember which wire is which in the harness. There might be a pinout in the C6 FAQ but I think that got lost when the FAQ thread got trashed.

Thanks. I was hoping that someone would have an idea of what other fuse in the floorboard panel is switched. All I want to do is swap the ad-a-circuit from the heated seat slot to the other one. That way I can use the Parrot without the engine running.
