This simplified guide of the Parrot MKi9000 gives you the
main instructions to easily use this product. For further
information, refer to the user guide available on our website
www.parrot.com.
• Prior to xing the hands-free kit’s different components
inside the car, connect the installation cables, control
keypad and double microphone to the electronic
control unit.
• 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
amplier). 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.
Car stereo with an ISO connector
1. Connect the male connectors of the hands-free kit to the
car stereo.

With this type of set-up, the original connectors of
your vehicle’s audio system need not be removed.
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.
2. Join the vehicle’s audio and power supply cables to the
female connectors of the Parrot MKi9000.
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 jacks
• Use this type of connection by wiring a line-out jack
(brown & white wire or red & black wire) to your car
stereo’s line-in jack.
• Using the two pairs of line-out jacks 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
one of the audio system’s corresponding mute-in jacks if
available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 3).
Car stereo without ISO connectors
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.
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,
preventing your hands-free kit from operating correctly.
• On some vehicles, the red and orange power supply
wires may need to be reversed. This can easily be done
by reversing the two fuse holders on the Parrot MKi9000
installation cable.
Installing the audio connectors
• 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.
• To protect the connectors from dust, use the provided
protection cap.

Installing the electronic box
Avoid installing the electronic box:
- near heating or air-conditioning system;
- on a spot directly exposed to sunlight;
- behind metal walls.
Installing the remote control
• Choose the place for the remote control inside your
vehicle. We would advise you to fit it in the centre of the
dashboard.
• If you want to place the remote control on the steering
wheel, make sure it is securely attached, so 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. Refer to the
diagrams p.6.
• If you want to place the remote control on the dashboard,
stick the double-sided tape located on the at side of the
bracket to x it against the dashboard. You can then insert
the remote onto the bracket. Refer to the diagrams p.7.
Installing the microphone
The microphone must be aimed at the driver and can be
installed between the sun-visor and the internal rear-view
mirror.
Navigating through the menus
• Press the central jog dial to access the menus.
> The kit displays the name of the current menu.
• Browse through the menus by turning the wheel and
confirm with the green button or by pressing the scroll
wheel.
• To exit the menu, press the red button or wait a
few seconds.
Pairing a phone to the PARROT MKi9000
Prior to using your Parrot MKi9000 with your phone for the
very first time, you must initially pair both devices.
1. From your phone, search for Bluetooth peripherals
(refer to your phone’s user guide for more information).
2. Select «MKi9000» in the list.
3. Enter «0000» on your phone when prompted.
4. Press the green button to accept the pairing
> The Parrot MKi9000 says «Pairing successful» when
both devices are connected.
Using the Parrot MKi9000 for the 1st time
Depending on the model of your phone, step 3 and
step 4 may be inverted.

Before using your Parrot MKi9000 telephony function, you
first have to connect both devices.
► Refer to the “Connecting a phone via Bluetooth” section
for more information.
Synchronising the phonebook
With some Bluetooth phones, the phonebook is automati-
cally synchronized in the kit’s memory. If your phone doesn’t
support automatic synchronization, you can also use the
Object Push function of your phone to send contacts from
your mobile to the car kit via Bluetooth. To do so:
1. From the main menu, select Phone > Receive contacts.
> The kit says « Waiting for contact ».
2. Refer to your phones’ user guide for more information
about sending contacts via Object Push.
Recording voice tags
You can make a call using voice recognition directly after
automatic synchronization or Object Push process. The
Parrot MKi9000 will automatically recognize the contact you
wish to call.
However, if the Parrot MKi9000 doesn’t understand the
name of one of your contacts or if a voice tag is too long,
you can record a new one. To do so, press the jog dial and
select Add voice tags.

Making a call via voice recognition
1. Press the green button to launch the voice
recognition feature.
> A beep is emitted.
2. Say the « Call » keyword and the name of the contact
you want to call.
> The call is automatically launched if the voice tag is
correctly understood. If it is not the case, a confirmation
message is asked by the kit.

> The call is initiated.
Bob!
Call Bob!
Call Bob at home!

You can make a call via voice recognition using several combinations of keywords. For example, « call
‘Paul’» or simply « ‘Paul’ ». You can also associate
the type of number you want to call: «call ‘Paul’ at
home», «’Paul’ home », etc.
