The user-independent voice recognition and voice synthesis are now integrated in all MKi car kits, which dramatically eases the way of using them in every situation. And all the connectors for any type of music are provided with each MKi hands-free kit: iPod, iPhone, iTouch, USB keys, USB MP3 players, Bluetooth Stereo devices, CD players, MiniDisc…
The Parrot MKi kits connect to your car audio system and deliver hi-quality conversations whatever the conditions are. Each MKi kit is delivered with it 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.
The Parrot MKi kits propose an incredibly efficient combination of an external double microphone and new software which eliminate environmental and in-car noises with full-duplex and zero-echo crystal clear conversations.Another unique feature: the screen of the MKi9100 is detachable from its support when you leave your vehicle, for ultimate security.
Play your music in the car
The MKi kit are 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 remote control gives you access to the main functions: PLAY, PAUSE, NEXT SONG, PREVIOUS SONG, and VOLUME. 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 MKi automatically synchronize the names and phone numbers in your mobile with their phonebooks and updates the 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 MKi recognize 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 MKi series offer 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!
