Installation

WARNING: We advise our customers to have the Parrot MKi9100 fitted by a professional.

Before you begin

Checking the car configuration

 The cables supplied with the kit feature ISO connectors and two pairs of line-out jacks. The

line-out jacks can be used if your audio system features this option (use of an amplifier). Several set-ups are therefore possible depending on the type of car stereo and your vehicle.

 If your car stereo is not fitted with ISO connectors, you need to purchase an ISO adapter

cable to simplify the wiring procedure. Refer to the range of ISO adapters on our website.

Caution

 Unplug the battery before installing the kit‟s power cable.

 Before you install the individual components, check that the installation locations have been

selected in such a way that the cable length is sufficient to connect every element.

 Do not install any component (screen, remote control…) in the airbag deployment area.

 Once the installation is complete, make sure that no cables are pinched.

Removing the car stereo

 Remove your car stereo from you vehicle. You may need release keys to do so.

► Refer to your car stereo user guide or contact your car dealer for more information.

 Remove the audio system from your vehicles dashboard to access the wiring harness.

 The mute function is used to cut the sound of your car stereo to enable a phone call. The

choice of the mute-in jack depends on your car stereo‟s configuration.

Installing the kit

Car stereo with ISO connectors

1. Connect the male connectors of the hands-free kit to the car stereo.

2. Join the vehicle‟s audio and power supply cables to the female connectors of the Parrot MKi9100.

3. On the installation cable, connect the free yellow wire to one of the audio system‟s corresponding mute-in jacks if available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 3).

Car stereo with line-in

 Use this type of connection by wiring the line-out (brown & white wire or red & black wire) to

your car stereo‟s line-in.

 Using the two pairs of line-out will enable you to take advantage of the music function in

stereo over your vehicle‟s speakers.

 On the installation cable, connect the free yellow wire to the corresponding audio system‟s

mute-input if available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 3).

Installing the electronic box

 Avoid installing the electronic box near heating or air-conditioning system, on a spot directly

exposed to sunlight or behind metal walls.

 Make sure the electronic box stays fixed once it is installed and that it will not move while

you are driving.

 Do not reinstall the car stereo forcibly. If you are short of space behind the car stereo to

install the electronic box, consider installing it in the glove box.

Note : In order to check the wiring, connect the screen before placing it on the dashboard.

► Refer to the Checking the wiring section for more information.

Note : On some vehicles, there is no ignition +12V on the vehicle’s connectors. You must therefore

connect the orange power supply wire to the fuse box or another ignition power source.

Installing the music cable binding system

The music cable binding system allows you to adjust the cable length while reducing its wear.

1. Drill a 20 mm hole in your dashboard (glove compartment or parcel tray).

2. Insert manually two flexible arms of the binding system.

3. Use a flat screwdriver in order to insert the last two arms. > You can now connect your music cable to the bluebox.

Installing the kit‟s power cable

 Refer to your car stereo‟s wiring diagram.

 The red wire of the kit‟s cable must correspond to the constant +12V supply, the orange wire

to the ignition +12V and the black wire to ground. Check that the orange wire is not connected to the constant +12V supply, as you could run down the vehicle‟s battery.

Checking the wiring

 To perform the installation check, turn the ignition on then off once the Parrot MKi9100 is

installed: the message “Goodbye!” must be displayed.

 If it is not the case, it is necessary to inverse the positions of the red and orange wires.

Indeed, the red wire of the power cable must be connected to the permanent 12V, the orange wire to the 12V ignition and the black wire to the ground. This can be done simply by reversing both fuse holders located on the Parrot wiring.

Installing the audio connectors

Installing the music cable

Connect the music cable to the electronic box and place the USB / iPod / Jack connectors into the glove box, the central console or the parcel tray depending on the configuration of your dashboard. Make sure that the cable is not pinched.

Note : Use the provided protection cap to protect the connectors.

Selecting a location

In order to get hi-quality conversations, we advise you to respect the following recommendations:

 Make sure the microphone is installed as close to the mouth of the user as

possible. The ideal distance is 60 cm. The best possible location for the microphone is near the rear-view mirror.

 The microphone needs to be pointed towards the user.

Installing the individual components

Installing the double microphone

D < 60 cm α < 45°

 Make sure the microphone is not exposed to the air stream from air vents.

 Do not install the microphone cable in heating, ventilation or air

conditioning systems.

Mounting the double microphone

 The mounting location for the microphone must be clean and free from grease

or dust. Prior to installation, clean the area with an appropriate cleansing product.

 Once you have stuck the support on the dashboard, wait for approximately 2

hours to make sure the adhesive tape adheres well.

Installing the remote control on the steering wheel

If you want to place the remote control on the steering wheel, make sure it is securely attached, so that it does not move when you are driving.
