Installation WARNING: We advise our customers to have the Parrot MKi9200 fitted by a professional. Before you begin Checking the car configuration 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 amplifier). Several set-ups are therefore possible depending on the type of car stereo and your vehicle.
Installing the kit Note : If you have the possibility to use a multimeter, test and verify all connections on the vehicle before connecting the Parrot MKi9200 wiring loom. Car stereo with ISO connectors 1. Connect the male connectors of the hands-free kit to the car stereo. 2. Join the vehicle‟s audio and power supply cables to the female connectors of the Parrot MKi9200. 3.
Car stereo with line-in Use this type of connection by wiring the line-out (brown & white wire or red & black wire) to your car stereo‟s line-in. Using the two pairs of line-out will enable you to take advantage of the music function in stereo over your vehicle‟s speakers. On the installation cable, connect the free yellow wire to the corresponding audio system‟s mute-input if available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 3).
Installing the kit‟s power cable Note : In order to check the wiring, connect the screen before placing it on the dashboard. ► Refer to the Checking the wiring section for more information. 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.
Installing the individual components Installing the double microphone Selecting a location In order to get hi-quality conversations, we advise you to respect the following recommendations: Make sure the microphone is installed as close to the mouth of the user as possible. The ideal distance is 60 cm. The best possible location for the microphone is near the rear-view mirror. The microphone needs to be pointed towards the user.
Make sure the microphone is not exposed to the air stream from air vents. Do not install the microphone cable in heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems.
