How cool is this!

Very nice piece of equipment. For only £20 more than the old unit you also get USB conectivity, and control of your newer ipods. Not actually tried the ipod as it does not support my old 4gb ipod mini. BUT I bought a 16GB usb memory stick that works a treat. Four stars only as I the firmware still has a few annoying quirks (have a look on the parrot UK forums). I suspect that updates will be done soon by Parrot. Once these are sorted then its a full 5 star product. Even so, I would still recommend this unit.

Getting Better

Just a quick update, Parrot have recently released a firmware update. Very easy to do, just download a file to a USB stick, plug it into the Parrot, then select update! Made big improvements, Ipod control improved. Still less than perfect control of USB audio tracks, but improved. Still a very good buy!!!!!

Good upgrade, but poor music quality

I found the installation easy, but I have had several Parrot products in the past. The previous 3100 unit fitted to this car would not connect to an iPhone 3Gs / 4. Although the firmware can be updated - just try to find someone prepared to do it! Obviously they want you to buy a replacement! The MKi9100 works perfectly with an iPhone 3Gs and 4. When you start the car, there is a fairly long delay - perhaps 20 to 30 sec before the Parrot comes alive, but this isn't really a problem. In use, the unit speaks what is on the display, including contact names. The spoken menus are very clear - but it struggles with some of the names in my contact book. Still it's better than previous. You can navigate your contacts without looking at the display. The blue OLED display is brilliant! VERY clear with a very wide viewing angle which opens up where you can put it in the car - doesn't need to be in your face! It comes with a wireless remote which has a steering wheel mount. Unfortunately it's too flimsy to mount there - first corner my arm brushed against it and it fell apart! The pieces snap back together - but I re-mounted it on the dash. It comes with a selection of cables to plug directly in to USB sticks, MP3's and an iPod/Phone. I found the plastic iPhone connector housing was too big to fit through the hole in an Otter Box case - but I'll sand it down to fix it. Why does the connector shell have to be bigger than an Apple connector? You can connect an iPod/Phone for audio via Bluetooth instead of the cable. Disappointingly, you have to press play on the phone and use the phone for track navigation - which means it's illegal on the road! The bluetooth only sends audio. The sound quality is good - but I found it too quiet! On max volume, it distorts. If you turn it down so as not to distort - it's too quiet to hear on the motorway. Maybe if you were driving a limo it would be loud enough but if not, this feature is a waste of space! The iPhone lead will be useful as a charger I suppose but otherwise I'd cut it off! Curiously, when you are using the phone on the move, the audio is very clear for both parties - plenty loud enough. In conclusion, the handsfree part of it is very good - but don't buy this to connect your phone / iPod for audio unless you drive a super quiet car!

Parrot MKi9100

The Parrot MKi9100 connects to your car audio system and delivers hi-quality conversations whatever the conditions are. The MKi9100 is delivered with an independent RF remote control. Positioned on the steering wheel or placed wherever is convenient, the remote control gives you the total control you need right at your fingertips.

Play your music in the car

The MKi9100 is delivered with a music cable specifically designed to adapt to any sort of digital and analogue music players: iPod/ iPhone connector, a USB connector to plug any USB MP3 player and a Line-In input for analogue sources. MKi also connect to any Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP) source: MP3 player, musicphone, smartphones, PDAs…
The MKi9100 displays the playlist for you to always visualize what is played. All music files are played back on the car’s speakers (front and back) while the MKi built-in digital amplifier transforms your car into a true concert hall!

Your voice takes control

The MKi9100 automatically synchronizes the names and phone numbers in your mobile with their phonebooks and update theirs phonebooks each time a new entry is detected.
To access your phonebook and make a call, simply press the green button to start the user-independent voice recognition: the MKi9100 recognizes your voice and the name you are saying without any prior teaching process. You can also directly access the phonebook and browse all the names thanks to the voice synthesis (Text To Speech). So simple!
When you receive a call, the name and the number are displayed on the screen. To follow on your conversation in a discrete mode, switch instantaneously the communication towards your Bluetooth headset or your mobile phone.

Wide compatibility and perfect integration

The MKi9100 offers the widest compatibility with existing and future Bluetooth mobile phones, thanks to its full compatibility with the Bluetooth wireless communication protocol.
The software of the MKi is upgradeable for free at any time from our web site. And to benefit a higher integration in the vehicle, MKi can be interfaced with an optional module – Parrot MULTICAN – which uses the existing steering wheel mounted commands to control your Parrot Bluetooth hands-free car kit. There is no additional visible part to install; it only uses the existing car’s steering wheel control buttons. You keep controlling the car radio from the steering wheel and
if the steering wheel doesn’t have enough buttons, the Parrot MULTICAN uses a specific combination of buttons to compensate for the missing ones. At least a fully invisible Bluetooth hands free solution!
