Need bluetooth,

This is a very capable bluetooth system. Parrot has made a great product. If self-installing, it is strongly recommend that you utilize the harness recommended by the manufacturer on their website. This could have been a complicated install, but it was actually plug and play. The mki9200 was installed in a 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid with Navigation. Many diagnostic functions of the car are inextricably integrated with the NAV/stereo system, so I was definitely not going to take out the NAV. Furthermore, the Navigation/stereo work great. The problem that needed to be solved was getting a way to play mp3 without using an FM transmitter (FM transmitters are notorious for horrible sound/interference, etc.) and getting bluetooth in this vehicle without replacing the NAV/stereo system. This is where the Parrot Mki9200 answered all these needs. The hardest part of the install was getting to the back of the nav/stereo system, once there, unplugged the nav/stereo, plugged the harness...Read more

   I finally installed a hard wired bluetooth hands free system in my car after using an earpiece for months/years. The MKi9200 is OUTSTANDING; I wish I had installed one a long time ago. The installation for my 2006 Trailblazer required a wiring harness from one of the Parrot vendors listed on their website which costs an extra $75. Regardless, the voice recognition feature is perfect and the radio mute feature works seamlessly with my factory stereo. The calls are crystal clear and everyone can hear me without any difficulties. I found the installation fairly easy and would recommend this product to anyone who is tired of charging, turning on/off, and finding, your blue tooth ear piece.

This unit is currently unique in the marketplace in dealing with the need for both a handsfree kit and a way to add music sources to your car stereo system. It's not for everyone - if your car stereo already has support for an iPod, for instance, this may be overkill - but for my no-aux-jack car it's great.The pros:* The sound quality for making phone calls is better than any handsfree kit I've encountered, both listening in the car and through the microphone to the other end. Better, in fact, than most Bluetooth headsets - which is saying a lot for a car kit.* It's terrific to be able to play my iPod in my Ford Escape Hybrid without using an FM transmitter. The sound quality is fantastic, and it even charges the thing!* The screen is great; bright, easy-to-read, and displays the relevant information in ways that I find fairly easy to interact with.The cons:* It was a pain to install in my Escape Hybrid. That's more Ford's fault than...Read more
