Peter What can I say??? Thank you very much, just bought a USB -PL2303 cable so will use your pinout and give it a try. Dave 'technically. Love Train The Sound Of Philadelphia Itunes. Anything is possible!!!'

I ordered that one too, I also ordered the old school MAX232 serial port type just incase of issues. I tried using one of these USB ones a few years back but couldn't get the drivers for my 64bit PC, no doubt things have moved on now with 64bit being mainstream. The MAX232 one arrived first, I'm still waiting for the USB one, I have an old laptop with a serial port so I was able to use that.

Hi Can someone who already has a parrot ck3000 serial or usb cable take a photo of the end of their cable with the JP4 connector? I am willing to play with an interface and document the results, I appreciate the cable is only £30, but this is far more fun. I understand that pin 7 is ground and that the data pins are between 1,2 and 4? -- -- 10-08-06-04-02 X X (O) 09-07-05-03-01 X X Also that the power has to be connected as the flash programme starts to initialise the procedure?

A photo or two would be very helpful.

I recently purchased the CK3000 Evolution car bluetooth hands free kit off eBay for £26, much cheaper than the retail £80. I quickly realised I needed to update the firmware on it as it was quite out of date and the latest 5.25c update from the parrot site fixes issues with Android phones.

That’s more than I paid for the actual device! Having made my own upgrade unlock general hacking cables for devices before I was pretty much certain the upgrade cable would just be a glorified RS232 – TTL converter which I have made in past for free from spare parts. This turned out to be the case. RS232 To TTL Converter Module on eBay Making the cables is a bit laborious and I had previously spotted on ebay that you can buy a standard RS232 – TTL converter cable at a silly price. This was the perfect opportunity to give it a go.

I bought the cheapest RS232 – TTL Converter on ebay from Hong Kong which only cost £1.79 ($2.91). I could barely post something to another person in the UK for that price, never mind buy the parts! The downside, unfortunately I had to wait 24 days for it to arrive argh! ATX 4 Pin Molex As I didn’t know the pinout this was definitely something to be done from the comfort of my own home rather than in the car, so I knew I’d need a 12v power supply. The CK3000 takes its power from a 4 pin square molex connector, exactly the same shape as an ATX motherboard power supply.

I had a PC power supply which had died a few months ago so I cut this off and attached it to a 12V DC 3A power supply (the writing on the blue CK3000 control unit says it only requires 300mA so this was more than enough). Just had a thought I didn’t check the wiring before I cut it off the PC power supply as I intended to wire it up manually, therefore I don’t know if the parrot and PC PSU 4 pin molex pinout is the same. Make sure you check this if you intend to power it from a PC PSU directly. With a multimeter it was quickly worked out that pins 2,4,6 are GND; 3,7,10 +12V; 8 +5V. This only left 1,5 & 9 to be either Tx or Rx. The 5v on pin 8 was not enough to power the TTL circuit, I am not sure what it is for. Anyway to cut a long story short here is the pinout below.
