Pioneer Stereo and Sat Nav Mute

[whitey]

Hello,

I have a Pioneer headunit and on the wiring loom there is a yellow and black wire which says 'mute' on it. I am installing my Navman s100 sat nav in the cubby and would like to know if I could link up to this wire so that the headunit is muted when the sat nav gives directions etc?

The power adapter on the sat nav is a mini usb so i was wondering if something like this would work:? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duragadget-earphone-Polaris100-Excalibur-Advantage/dp/B001RTM6KA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1245191555&sr=1-7

 

Regards

Not sure if the little gadget would work but in theory the mute lead when receiving a signal will mute the head unit. I don't know if wiring it to a satnav would be great as the mute isn't massively quick and you could end up with a lot of cutting in and out. At loud volume you need to be careful of the amps keep turning on and off at high volume too.
