Parrot RK8200 - User Guide

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 car stereo with a built-in hands-free kit with superior audio quality during calls.

The Parrot RK8200 is an FM/AM RDS car stereo, featuring all the connections required for digital and analogue music. It is also a Bluetooth hands-free kit boasting sophisticated telephony functions. Completely built into the vehicle's audio system, music and conversations are reproduced over the vehicle's speakers for maximum listening quality. A car stereo has never provided so many connections: specific iPod connector, port for a USB flash drive and USB MP3 player, SD card reader and a line-in socket for analogue sources. The Parrot RK8200 also plays files sent by Bluetooth (compatible with Bluetooth stereo A2DP) from a Bluetooth mobile phone or player. Over 300 MP3 tracks can be stored in its internal memory.

Installing the PARROT RK8200

We advise our customers to have the Parrot RK8200 fitted by a professional.

1. Get you previous car stereo out of the dash.

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

2. Insert the mounting bracket and fix it into the dashboard using the bracket mounting tabs.

3. Pull the ends of the wires out of the dashboard through the mounting bracket.

4. Connect the audio and power connectors to the connectors of your Parrot RK8200.

► If this connection is impossible, you have to obtain an ISO cable to adapt your car radio to the ISO connectors of the Parrot RK8200. Consult our website www.parrotshopping.com for more information.

5. Compare the Parrot RK8200 antenna connector to the antenna connector of your vehicle.

► If an adapter is necessary, contact your car dealer for more information.

6. Check the polarity of your car radio. To do so, turn the ignition off once the Parrot RK8200 is installed: the message “Goodbye!” must be displayed.

- If it is the case, you can skip to step 7.

- If it is not the case, it is necessary to inverse the positions of the red and yellow wires. Indeed, the red wire of the power cable must be connected to the permanent 12V, the yellow wire to the 12V ignition and the black wire to the ground. This can be done simply by reversing both terminal spade tags located on the Parrot wiring.

Do not connect the yellow wire to the permanent 12V, otherwise you can cause the vehicle battery to go flat.

7. Slide the car stereo into the mounting bracket and attach the faceplate.

Parrot RK8200 - User Guide

The microphone located on the lower edge of the faceplate may be obstructed because of the design of your dashboard. In that case, you may need an external microphone.
