Use fuse 19 or 47 as an aux ignition supply

thanks for the tip. that was my next google search. which fuse to use.
bought the piggy back fuse clips today - both sizes, 3m of cable and both fuse types.

So I guess you refit the 15A fuse into the holder to do its factory task
and fit something like a 5A for the parrot connection.

Ok. So it is a 5A fuse.
Openedup the fusebox. Got confused. Composed myself. Set to work. To realise the connector clips i bought for the end of the wire are too small. Stripped cable doesn't fit. Now need to get slighter larger ones. 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography

Oh lordy.
The struggle is real folks. Everything laid out in front of me.
After finally managing to get my gnarly rugby playing hands in to the fusebox area and a fight with several different tools to get the fuse out. It was done.
But the fuse tap doesn't fit.


Now it is time with the junior hacksaw to trim of the excess plastic.
done, but still no joy. prongs are too short to fit in the fuse slot.
Ebay to the rescue again. this should all be sorted by Christmas  2019 RRS P400e Autobiography

I might be missing the point here. I have a 2006 RRS S/C . It has the 'Nokia ' phone cradle in the lid of the centre console which is now pretty useless for I and smartphones.
However the bluetooth connection works for calls between my HTC phone and the incar system. Don't need any other connections.
But if you want to connect all the other things your phone might do that another thing altogether. 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.

@Cracka - i don't have the bluetooth module in the back. Hence no bluetooth connectivity.
'Easier' to install the parrot asteroid mini than a bluetooth module. And would give me music streaming aswell. 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography

There is a little red tool in the fusebox for removing the fuses. It's great and works well.

I generally use a pair of very long taper nosed pliers to remove and fit fuses, find they work well especially if you have hands the size of a shovel.

ok, i bought a little red fuse removal tool that didn't work, long tapered pliers did the trick perfectly.
Now just waiting on ebay for the correct fuse taps, dispatched yesterday with an ETA 22.06 - 23.07... 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography

Would really love to have some insight into how people have stored all this extra cabling behind the stereo?
I've tried pushing it up behind the sat nav screen but the original range rover cables are so short that i have to almost push the stereo in at the same time. Right now if i pack as tight as i can the stereo still sits 10cm away from being in place.
Losing my mind and nerves.

There is loads of room on top of the stero.

Thanks all for the advice. Had a mate come round today and he sorted out a live feed from the steering column. As for the wiring harnesses, chopped them all shorter and reconnected them. Was still a tight fit but the Parrot is now operational and works like a charm. And the sound is actually better than the factory installed radio.

Thanks again 2019 RRS P400e Autobiography
