About the Parrot CK3100
Add Bluetooth connectivity to your car stereo system
Add Bluetooth connectivity to your car stereo system
Want hands-free phone operation and control of your phone's features when behind the wheel? Parrot's CK3100 Bluetooth cell phone car kit connects to almost any car stereo system so you can take calls from your Bluetooth phone through your car's speakers. A small LCD screen mounted on your dash displays caller information and allows access to your phone's menu functions. We carry cell phone kit harnesses that allow plug-in connection of Parrot's Bluetooth car kits in a wide variety of vehicles.
Permanent installation
The CK3100 control panel installs beneath the dashboard, so all you see is the small dash-mounted LCD screen/keypad and an external microphone. Once your car's engine starts, the kit connects automatically to your Bluetooth phone. With the microphone mounted, just say a name and the CK3100 takes care of the dialing. The CK3100 can work with up to five Bluetooth devices at one time.
Convenient control panel
You control your phone's menu functions with the dash-mounted LCD screen and 3-button keypad. From dialing to phonebook to voicemail, the keypad and voice prompts will guide you easily through functions as you keep your eyes on the road. You can change the volume with the press of a button.
Easy-to-read LCD screen
Parrot's LCD screen displays valuable information from your phone, including Caller ID, listings for the last calls received and dialed, plus dialing with numbers. You can even see the strength of your phone's signal.
Voice recognition
The voice recognition software remembers up to 150 names from your phone's address book for dialing (only works with certain phones). Noise reduction on the external microphone lets you carry on a conversation in a normal tone — no need to shout, even in heavy traffic. Most importantly, the CK3100 is programmed to mute your car's radio at the onset of an incoming call, ensuring clear sound over your car's speakers.
The Parrot CK3100 is compatible with all Bluetooth cell phones and installs with most factory and aftermarket car stereo systems. Some factory systems may require an additional wiring adapter.
Note: Compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.
Time-saving connections for your car
Crutchfield carries cell phone kit harnesses that allow easy, plug-in connection of Parrot's Bluetooth car kits in a wide variety of vehicle factory systems. You can also use these harnesses in conjunction with many aftermarket systems in compatible vehicles, as long as the factory stereo connections are available.

Features

The kit allows you to register up to five different mobile phones. Please visit the following website for specific Bluetooth mobile phone compatibility listings: http://www.parrot.com/usa/compatibility.
Microphone: The microphone features echo cancellation technology and background noise reduction, allowing conversations to remain clear despite noise in the vehicle.
LCD Screen: The display of the CK3100 provides information such as caller ID, carrier signal strength, or last calls received. The LCD screen also includes the Answer and Hang Up buttons, and the central button, which allows you to adjust the call volume and access the kit's menu system.
Phonebook: Select phones automatically transfer their phonebook contacts to the kit.
Voice Recognition: Thanks to the voice recognition feature, you can say a name and the CK3100 will automatically dial the person's number. You can store up to 150 names in memory. You can select voice prints that are registered in the memory of the CK3100 or registered in the memory of the telephone.
Note: This function is only available on certain phones.
TextFriendly: A new feature called TextFriendly is available for the CK3100 through a firmware update. It allows you to receive and answer texts and emails via voice. After a 6-month free trial period for new Parrot customers (or a 3-month free trial period for existing Parrot customers) a monthly fee is required to subscribe to TextFriendly.
Magic Words: Magic words are keywords used to accept an incoming call or end a call, as well as activate the voice recognition feature without taking your hands off the wheel. Keywords include: Telephone, Hang up, Address, office, mobile, general, other, and preferred.
Optional Speaker: The optional CK-70003S speaker kit allows you to enjoy hands-free convenience, without having to splice into your car's speaker wiring harness. The speaker has a proprietary rectangular 8-pin (2 pins present) connector that plugs into the supplied wiring.
Installation
Vehicle Specific Adapter: Adapter harnesses are available for a number of vehicles, making installation much easier. The adapter plugs into the power cable and mute cable and interfaces with your vehicle's factory wiring.
Note: Although not required, the adapter significantly simplifies the installation. Inexperienced installers may have difficulty hardwiring the kit without the adapter.
Installation Location: The electronic control unit mounts under your vehicle's dash and the LCD screen is mounted to the dash surface. The supplied hardware allow you to mount the microphone on a vent, visor, or on the dash.

Purchased the Parrot CK 3100 for my daughter birthday. Installed it Saturday In her 2005 Tuscon . Purchased the wiring kit to connect with the radio, The sound and clarity are fantastic. Once the SUV was started it took only a second to connect the bluetooth.
