Parrot's MKi9200 Bluetooth car kit links your compatible phone to just about any car stereo for hands-free calling through your car's speakers. It offers control over many portable music sources, including the iPod® and iPhone™.

But this is not your ordinary Bluetooth car kit — you'll also hear high-quality audio from all your portables, including music streamed from your phone along with files stored on USB drives or SD cards. And if you want to treat your eyes as well as your ears, the MKi9200's full-colour 2.4" display provides you with album artwork and your own favourite images to go along with the music.

Easy to install
The kit consists of three main components: a mute box that installs beneath the dashboard, a remote control keypad, and the display panel. The mute box connects to your stereo system with a vehicle-specific harness and to the display panel with a single wire. The MKi9200 connects to your Bluetooth phone automatically once you start your car. For those who carpool with other Bluetooth users, the MKi9200 can handle up to five Bluetooth devices at once.

Talk with the MKi9200
With many phones, the voice-recognition software remembers up to 150 names from your address book — just say a name and the MKi9200 dials the number instantly. Using built-in text-to-speech technology, the MKi9200 can announce the names of your contacts, so you can browse through your phonebook or check out who's calling without taking your eyes off the road.

See and hear everything clearly
The MKi9200 mutes your car stereo when a call comes in, ensuring clear sound over your car's speakers. The included microphones feature noise-reducing technology that lets you speak clearly without having to shout. The MKi9200's screen displays phone numbers, caller names and images, and music information, including album covers and your favourite photos. You can easily remove the screen for safekeeping in the included carrying pouch when you're not in the car.

The MKi9200's built-in amplifier works in place of your factory radio's power section, for sound quality that surpasses other adapters and kits. You can bypass this feature if you're running an amplified or aftermarket system to keep the high-octane sound you've already got.

Convenient operation
The MKi9200 will guide you through dialing, accessing your phonebook, voicemail, and other phone functions while you concentrate on driving. You can use the keypad's scroll-knob to control the volume and browse menus, or to rewind, fast-forward, or jump to another song.

A wealth of portable music options
You'll find several connections for your portable music devices. The USB input works with newer iPods or other MP3 players. Simply connect your player and leave it in the glove compartment — you can control all the action from the keypad. The display screen also includes a SecureDigital™ memory card slot, so you can access tunes from your own cards. And an auxiliary input accepts audio from almost any music source.

Note: Compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.
