Introduction

The Bluetooth® technology enables voice and data to be sent via a short-distance radio
link. It allows several electronic devices to communicate with each other, particularly
phones and hands-free kits.

Parrot is drawing on its long years of experience in signal processing and voice recognition
technology to offer a hands-free car with superior audio quality during calls: The Parrot
MKi9200.

Once paired with your Bluetooth mobile phone, the Parrot MKi9200 enables you to establish
in a few seconds any phone conversations in your vehicle without needing to handle the
telephone, even leaving it in your pocket. Connection with your mobile is made in a
completely transparent way.

The user-independent voice recognition and voice synthesis are integrated in your Parrot
MKi9200, which dramatically ease the way of using them in every situation. And all the
connectors for any type of music are provided: iPod, iPhone, iTouch, USB keys, USB MP3
players, Bluetooth Stereo devices, CD players, MiniDisc…

A steering wheel control interface can be used to connect your vehicle’s steering wheel
controls to your Parrot hands-free kit. With this interface, you will be able to make phone
calls via the steering wheel controls while keeping your hands on the wheel. Refer to our
website www.parrot.com for more information.

Installing the Parrot MKi9200

We advise our customers to have the Parrot
MKi9200 fitted by a professional.

•

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

•

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.

•

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.

•

Make sure the cables are not pinched at the end of the installation process.

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 MKi9200.

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 streaming audio 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).

Car stereo
without ISO
connectors

Installing the
electronic
box

To simplify the wiring procedure, you will need to purchase an ISO
adapter cable. Refer to the range of ISO adapters on our website:

www.parrot.com.

Avoid installing the electronic box:

- near heating or air-conditioning system;

- on a spot directly exposed to sunlight;

- behind metal walls.

Installing the
kit’s power
cable

Checking the
wiring

Installing the
audio
connectors

Installing the
remote control

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.

•

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.

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.

•

To perform the installation check, turn the ignition on then off once the
Parrot MKi9200 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.

•

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.

•

Use the provided protection cap to protect the connectors.

•

Choose the place for the remote control inside your vehicle. We would
advise you to fit it in the center of the dashboard or close to 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. Do not install the remote control on the outside of the steering
wheel, so that it does not get in the way when driving.
