MKI9200 problem in syncing up phone# with "PAUSE" from Iphone

2009-11-21T07:55:23Z

There is a problem with syncing up iphone 3gs contact phone numbers that include "PAUSE" with MKI9200. I noticed that the phone numbers in the MKI9200 are being truncated after the first "PAUSE". I have reported this problem to Parrot over 3 months ago. I have just tested this in latest MKI9200 firmware release 1.22f. This problem is not fixed yet. Have any of you run into this problem? Any workaround?

Thanks,
Sam

2003 Pontiac Grand Prix BOSE Stereo

2009-11-20T17:57:17Z

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to hook up a 9200 Mki to a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix with a BOSE factory stereo. Does anybody have any experience with this type of setup? I check for wiring harness but I think that the BOSE has an external amp, so I don't know if a wiring harness exists that would allow for this hook up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Using the Parrot 3100 with a HTC Magic

2009-11-20T14:41:36Z

I'v been using my parrot for years now, pairing it with a nokia 6021 and everything works like a charm.

Recently i have replaced my old phone with a HTC magic and there are some (i'll admit minor) annoyances.

The first is that the synchin of contacts takes forever, about 20 minutes for < 100 contacts while the synchin with the nokia (same contacts) was done in 5 minutes or so.

The second thing i find strange is that contacts that have multiple phonenumbers appear in the parrot as multiple contacts with a "/" added to the name. So if Paul has 2 numbers, home and mobile, they appear as Paul/H and Paul/M with the numbers listed as general. Besides the fact that this results in a much large number of contacts, if the name is long enough the addition of the number type doesn't fit on the display anymore and you have to look in the contact to see if you have the right number.

The third thing is that if someone called me on the nokia phone, I would hear my ringtone from the nokia over the parrot / speakers and the radio was muted all the time. Now it plays some other tune which i don;t recognize, and between every "ring" the radio comes back on, which is very awkward.

I realize all these "things" could be caused by the HTC phone, but I'd still like to hear the reactions over here.

SK4000 Intercom availability

In an earlier post you indicate a SK4000 model with intercom will be available "later this year". Can you give me any update on when this may be available?

iPhone 3.1 and TomTom app

2009-11-18T06:40:16Z

Hi there,

I'm using an iPhone 3GS running 3.1.
I also have the TomTom application. (*not* a standalone GPS device, the TomTom iPhone application).
I have a brand new SK4000 running v1.15 (according to the sticker on the unit).

The TomTom application only reads instructions over an A2DP (Bluetooth Audio), which is why I purchased the SK4000. It will not read instructions over an HFP (Telephone), etc.

When the SK4000 switches to A2DP, it appears to send the play command to the iPhone. I can understand why this is, it makes sense to automatically start audio playback when you switch to that mode.

However, I don't want that. I want A2DP to open up, and simply start receiving audio without sending the play command. When the TomTom app wants to read an instruction it will.

I have managed with some combination of changing modes and things to be able to switch to Telephone mode and then back to Bluetooth Audio mode without it starting the iPhone music playback. I have a feeling that this only happens if the TomTom app is busy trying to read an instruction when the mode change happens - the play command is ignored by the iPhone. But, I'm only guessing, I'm not completely sure.

I would be happy if I was able to hit pause instead when switching to A2DP mode - it's a bit annoying, but I could live with it. The manual says "Press the [lower/power] key of the control unit to stop playback or press the SOURCE key to get back to the Phone mode.".
However, pushing this key causes the device to switch to Telephone mode. Switching back obviously starts playback again (except when the TomTom app is trying to read instructions).

The iPhone/SK4000 compatibility page (http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/online … mp;etape=3) says "Streaming can be controlled from the SK4000". Now, the iPhone does not support next/prev functions of AVRCP, so I can only assume this means play/pause.

Does anyone else see this behavior?
Is there a pause music function on the SK4000?
Is it possible to disable that automatic play command on the SK4000 when switching to A2DP mode?

No parts available

2009-11-18T03:16:18Z

While out riding last weekend, I reached up to adjust my helmet and hit my Parrot with my finger. The electronics module popped off and before I could get stopped it bounced of the road into the tall grass. I went back and looked for it but it was gone. I called today to see if I could just purchase the module and was told that they do not have any parts at this time. I would have to buy the entire unit.

I was disappointed to say the least. I really liked the unit, but I'll be shopping them all again if I can't get parts. I won't go through this again. If anybody is interested in the parts that are left, let me know.

Line-in for music, speakers for hands free - possible?

2009-11-17T07:19:14Z

Looking at the manual one can either go with the speaker-based or the line-in based install. As far as I understand the latter implies that the car stereo must be in the AUX mode for phone voice to be heard through the speakers (unless MKi is connected to an external amp). On the other hand, conceptually, the speaker-based setup is better as Parrot will use the speakers whenever a call comes in irrespective of the current input selection on the stereo/HU however I don't necessarily like the idea that music will play through Parrot amp for various reasons. Hence the question, is the following possible?

1. Connect both the ISO cables and line out to the car stereo and speakers.
2. Put car stereo in the AUX mode.
3. Music played through Parrot is routed to car stereo's line-in/AUX-in, leaving speakers connected to the car stereo.
4. Hands-free, when activated (incoming/outgoing call), will hijack the speakers sending voice to them directly bypassing car stereo.

LG Viewty and Parrot mki9200 synchronization

Is it possible to synchronize all contacts from an LG Viewty? Is it really necessary to do it one per one???

Irritating Noise. Double Amplified?

2009-11-16T00:36:04Z

I recently had the MKi9200 installed in my Pontiac Vibe, which has a "moons & tunes" OEM amplifier built in under the passenger seat. When I made the appointment (with a Parrot certified installer) I asked if I needed to bring a custom harness for the installation, and was told to "just bring it in". On the day of the appointment the tech manager said it didn't matter one way or the other about the wiring harness because they would just "hard wire it".
I read in some other post about an issue that I am having and I wonder if I am now "double amped" on this Parrot in my car stereo.
Symptoms:
1) Esspecially during phone conversations there is a high pitched background noise that mimics the RPMs of my car engine. Along with this there is another rhythmic "pop" about ever 3 second. I'm thinking thsi unit is picking up some electrostatic noise. It is also worse in the rear speakers.
2) My car stereo volume nob needs to be turned WAY down when connected to the Parrot. If I were to leave the OEM car stereo nob at a reasonable level and turn on the Parrot it would blast you out of the car.

I spoke to the tech at length on the day of the install and he said he was not aware of the second amplifier in my car until after the install, and this had something to do with the noise.
What can I do to correct this?
I went back to Car Toys, Tacoma Wa USA today (before reading this forum) and they said they couldn't figure out what the problem was, and offered to test it with another MKi9200.
Please.... I'm trying to not have a crappy experience this product the "seems" like a great concept.

Horrible noise from iPhone

2009-11-16T00:24:34Z

So I have semi-successfully got my my parrot mki9200 installed in a 2004 VW jetta. Successful in that everything powers up fine, the remote works, I was able to pair my iPhone via bluetooth, it loads my address book fine, etc.

The radio also plays fine when the parrot is in bypass mode.

However whenever I try to use my phone, either over blutooth or the iPod function via the iPod jack, I get a horrible static/noise through the car's speakers. This also happens when I unlock my phone and send or receive a text. The noise is definitely coming from the car battery or alternator or something, as I can hear the frequency go up and down as I rev the engine.

Any thoughts? Did I miswire something in the installation perhaps? I did use the harness for my car, but there were a few more wires I had to connect manually - a couple of +12V line and ground wires, and an 12V ignition wire. (which I had to run all the way ever to the fuse box, since the radio somehow operates without it)

Thanks in advance!
Geoff

High pitch noise (alternator type) - loud pop when switching sources

2009-11-15T23:22:34Z

So I just had the 9200 system in my Acura and it has an alternator noise - also there is a loud pop when changing sources. One note - for the system to be loud I on;y have to turn it up to say 5 or 10 percent. Any thought on how to fix this?
