User guide

Installation  
WARNING: We advise our customers to have the Parrot MKi9100 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.  
If your car stereo is not fitted with ISO connectors, you need to purchase an ISO adapter  
cable to simplify the wiring procedure. Refer to the range of ISO adapters on our website.  
Caution  
Unplug the battery before installing the kit‟s power cable.  
Before you install the individual components, check that the installation locations have been  
selected in such a way that the cable length is sufficient to connect every element.  
Do not install any component (screen, remote control) in the airbag deployment area.  
Once the installation is complete, make sure that no cables are pinched.  
Removing the car stereo  
Remove your car stereo from you vehicle. You may need release keys to do so.  
Refer to your car stereo user guide or contact your car dealer for more information.  
Remove the audio system from your vehicles dashboard to access the wiring harness.  
The mute function is used to cut the sound of your car stereo to enable a phone call. The  
choice of the mute-in jack depends on your car stereo‟s configuration.

Installing the kit  
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  
MKi9100.  
3. On the installation cable, connect the free yellow wire to one of the audio system‟s  
corresponding mute-in jacks if available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 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.  
4
     
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 electronic box  
Avoid installing the electronic box near heating or air-conditioning system, on a spot directly  
exposed to sunlight or behind metal walls.  
Make sure the electronic box stays fixed once it is installed and that it will not move while  
you are driving.  
Do not reinstall the car stereo forcibly. If you are short of space behind the car stereo to  
install the electronic box, consider installing it in the glove box.

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.  
Note : On some vehicles, there is no ignition +12V on the vehicle’s connectors. You must therefore  
connect the orange power supply wire to the fuse box or another ignition power source.  
Checking the wiring  
To perform the installation check, turn the ignition on then off once the Parrot MKi9100 is  
installed: the message “Goodbye!” must be displayed.  
If it is not the case, it is necessary to inverse the positions of the red and orange wires.  
Indeed, the red wire of the power cable must be connected to the permanent 12V, the  
orange wire to the 12V ignition and the black wire to the ground. This can be done simply by  
reversing both fuse holders located on the Parrot wiring.  
Installing the audio connectors  
Installing the music  
cable binding  
system  
The music cable binding system allows you to adjust the cable length  
while reducing its wear.  
1. Drill a 20 mm hole in your dashboard (glove compartment or parcel  
tray).  
2. Insert manually two flexible arms of the binding system.  
3. Use a flat screwdriver in order to insert the last two arms.  
> You can now connect your music cable to the bluebox.  
6
       
Installing the music  
cable  
Connect the music cable to the electronic box and place the USB /  
iPod / Jack connectors into the glove box, the central console or the  
parcel tray depending on the configuration of your dashboard. Make  
sure that the cable is not pinched.  
Note : Use the provided protection cap to protect the connectors.
