So how good are these Parrot kits?

[John LE]

I currently have a Kenwood double din stereo with ipod connection but the display has died

So I was thinking about putting the original cdr2005 back in with a parrot kit and then possibly upgrading to a 2013 nav with cid.

Is the sound quality really good and I mean crystal clear, how well does the bluetooth work and has anyone had any problems with theirs?


If they aren't that good I may fit a new kenwood with sat nav but they cost quite a bit and don't look factory

sound on mine is very good crystal clear and the bluetooth is spot on.

John,

the mki series with ipod/phone connectivity work well
the sound is crystal clear and there are regular firmware updates as required on the parrot website -
choice of 3 units
mki9000 - no display
mki9100 - oled blue 2 line display
mki9200 full colour display with album artwork etc

i have the basic one as i got it PRIOR to getting an iphone/pod as i wanted a decent bluetooth car kit - i bought 3 in total as they were soo good - fitted one in the wifes car and another in my dad's as well

hth

regards

Dez

Cheers guys, it was the Mki9200 I was thinking about as I like a bit of colour on my dash

How is the ipod controlled? via the parrot or direct on the ipod?

as above excellent sound quality and they are easy to fit and use i am toying with the idea of upgrading my 3200 to one that allow's streaming of music too

i think via parrot i just use sd cards in mine.
i have the mki9200

[Deztroyer]

yep controlled via the parrot - track selection etc all from the remote control = or as andy said you can fit the songs onto a memory card then you dont need to worry about taking the iphone/pod in/out all the time

although you can remove the screen on the mki9200
