If you’ve ever had a car kit fitted, chances are that the engineer who fitted it paired your phone to it for you and it ‘just worked’ without you having to do anything to set it up. The only downside to this of course, is when you upgrade your phone you’re left with a car kit thats looking for an old phone, and a new phone that can’t find the car kit.
If you’re anything like me, user manuals get thrown in the back of a drawer, never to be seen again, so figuring out how to get your new phone to work with your Parrot car kit could be quite a challenge. To help you out, I’ve put a quick guide together on how to pair your phone with Parrot’s most recent car kits.

Hi Al,
I found a solution to my Samsung Galaxy S2 to Parrot CK3000
Evolution pairing problem.
We have 2 Samsung Galaxy S2’s and a Galaxy Y paired and up
and running (one at a time obviously) with this car kit. It was a mission to
get this solved. Here goes:
·
You need free Bluetooth File transfer
V5.20 from Medieval Software (NB: NOT ANY of NEWER VERSIONS as they don’t work –
loose connection etc.)
·
Download the file from here: http://www.medieval.it/blueftp-android/menu-id-68.html#twoj_fragment1-5
·
Install to your phone.
·
Select the Bluetooth Logo (R/H Top of screen)
and ensure Bluetooth is turned on!
·
Scan, Select and Pair with the Parrot (Car kit –
not African Grey you idiot!)Code 1234
Check functionality via the car kit / phone.
The two should be paired. Turn Bluetooth on / off and also the car ignition,
and the device should auto connect!
It is also possible to use voice dialling with Bluetooth
File Transfer. Here goes:
·
Connect the phone to the car kit.
·
Go to your contacts on the phone and select them
one by one
·
Open the contact required.
·
Ensure only one number (mobile / home / office)
in the entry. If not create a new unique entry with a single number ie. John
Smith Mobile…….
·
From the menu button select Share via..Bluetooth
File Transfer (NOT Bluetooth)
·
The file will be copied to the car kit, and the
kit will prompt you to “say the contact’s name”
·
After recording your important contacts one by
one you should be able to voice from the car kit controls.
Safe driving,
Hendri

Which Parrot Car Kit do you have?
I have htc p4350 I can not pair it with car kit parrot bluetooth v5.10c. it prompt passcode however after entering 1234 it prompt the message such as failure to connect or wrong passcode.
kindly provide me with the guide to set it because I am not prepared to buy a new phone to use in a car.
thank you.
The name of the carkit on the search may change depending on the software version that the car kit is running. If you’re having problems pairing the Omnia to the kit, you may need to update the software on the car kit – the latest version for the evolution is v5.20c.
Instructions on how to download the latest software can be found here: Parrot Updates or on the Parrot Website
I have tried to use your methond for connecting my sgh i900 on the ck evolution, it does pick up the parrot bluetooth, but not as Parrot EVOL, rather Parrot v5.0c, when i do enter the passcode on the sgh i900 (omnia), and click next, it gives a failed to connect and incorrect password error. Also when clicking next on the omina after typing password, the omnia deletes the passwords???, please help
