			<link>http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=28008&amp;action=new</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>I installed the MKI9200 &amp; Unika into the car, using the speaker level outputs (wired them in series between the head unit and the Harmon Kardon amplifier).&nbsp; In this configuration, the music sounded great, but the phone audio to the speakers was very distorted (had a very hard time hearing the other person, especially if on a converence call.&nbsp; It felt like the dynamic range was far too large (i.e. when the person spoke loudly the sound felt like it would overdrive the speakers (distroed and buzzing), and if they spoke softly the sound was barely audible).&nbsp; I turned off all EQ and audio effects, but that did not help.</p><p>I talked to tech support and they told me to try use a line in input.&nbsp; I completely removed the unit and now installed it with the Line In right and line in left connected to the CD Changer input (and a speaker level (front left speaker) connected to the Phone Inputs (located on the came 10 pin connector as the cd changer input).&nbsp; I now get no audio what&#039;s so ever, when I hit CD I get a &quot;No Disc Detected&quot; error, and when I make a call, I get no audio at all.</p><p>I am excited about getting this working, but am quite frustrated.&nbsp; Help!</p><p>Background:<br /> Car:&nbsp; 2002 M3 Convertible build date 5/2002<br /> Radio:&nbsp; 4/2002 build date Alpine BusinessCD no navigation, includes the Harmon Kardon Amplifier.&nbsp; No CD Changer installed</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>My specific use case is as follows: I want to pair both my Samsung Galaxy S2 and my ASUS Nexus 7 tablet with the MKi unit.&nbsp; The Galaxy S2 will be used for handsfree calling, and the tablet will typically be streaming music to the car&#039;s speakers via the MKi unit.</p><p>- Both the S2 and the Nexus 7 are A2DP-capable.&nbsp; Can they both be paired with the MKi unit?&nbsp; Can they both be simultaneously connected to the MKi unit by virtue of &quot;dual mode&quot;?<br />- If music is being streamed from the Nexus 7 and a phone call comes in on the S2, will the MKi unit interrupt the music stream and switch to the phone call as expected?</p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Questions about MKi Line outputs]]></title>
			<link>http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=27935&amp;action=new</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;m interested in using one of the MKi products to pipe audio to an aftermarket amplifier, all without any sort of conventional head unit.&nbsp; That is, I want to stream music from my Android phone to the MKi unit via Bluetooth, then connect the MKi line-outs to the amp.</p><p>My questions about this proposed setup:<br />1. The wiring schematic in the installation manual shows &quot;Line-out 1&quot; and &quot;Line-out 2&quot; wire pairs.&nbsp; Is Line-out 1 the left stereo audio and Line-out 2 the right stereo audio?<br />2. It appears that the line-out wires are bare and have no termination (connector).&nbsp; Can a standard RCA connector just be crimped onto each line-out pair to facilitate connection to an amplifier?<br />3. What is the pre-amp voltage on the line-outs?&nbsp; How much wire length is acceptable between the MKi unit and the amplifier before a line output converter is needed?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all.</p><p>I&#039;ve been having some issues with the remote of my mki9200 for quite some time.<br />Initially it would fail to pick up the clicks and movements of the wheel every now and then, not I&#039;m lucky if it works at all.<br />I read that it could be a battery connection and that i should bend slightly or add support to the battery contact.<br />I did this, and it hasn&#039;t improved.</p><p>Any idea how to fix it?<br />if it can&#039;t be fixed, does this problem sound like a remote only issue and getting a new remote will fix it?</p><p>thanks in advance.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>For anyone interested, below is a link to a post I made on another forum that might be of interest. Since Parrot is understandably not able to offer integrated steering wheel controls for all vehicles, and my 2003 Lexus ES300 is not on the list, I came up with a custom solution that I preferred.:cool: I offer this only for informational purposes; this is not an advertisement and I am not really interested in making a custom solution for your car :eyerolls:</p><p>http://www.clublexus.com/forums/es300-and-es330/665736-custom-steering-wheel-control-for-parrot-mki9000-bt.html</p>]]></description>

			<link>http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=27804&amp;action=new</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>Setup:<br />iPhone 4S, OS 6.1<br />Parrot MKI9000, firmware 2.02<br />QuickConnect Harness QCJBL-2</p><p>OBJECTIVE: Active BT connection with volume set to audible level for phone calls, GPS, etc., WITHOUT music playing.</p><p>Having done my due diligence to search for similar topics I have come up empty, with the possible exception of this post: http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=1427<br />to which there was never any reply.</p><p>In case I haven&#039;t been clear, setting the radio volume to a level that makes <em>any</em> output audible (Parrot prompts, calls, MP3 music) results in needing to either having a call active (muting everything else), MP3 active on the phone (which mutes the radio) to have the radio quiet. Of course, pausing MP3 music reactivates the radio. And if I turn the radio off, or even down, I won&#039;t be alerted to a call and can&#039;t hear the GPS phone ap prompt me for a turn. </p><p>There is a possible solution in adding a blank MP3 track and setting the Music player options to loop the track continually, but seriously that&#039;s a back-woodsy-low-tech solution. Am I missing something? Seems like this should be achievable. Thanks for any advice.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, prospective buyer of the mki9200 here.<br />I&#039;ve done a good bit of research but I can&#039;t find anything to confirm the following:</p><p>-Start truck, iPhone 4S pairs to Parrot.<br />-Radio is playing, press play on phone music app, Parrot &#039;takes over&#039; and begins to play music via Bluetooth from phone.<br />-Press stop on phone, Parrot &#039;releases&#039; speakers, radio begins to play.</p><p>Similar to above happens when receiving, placing a call.</p><p>I&#039;m sure this is a simple question for someone who owns a unit, but I just want to make sure it does these things before I purchase!</p><p>Thanks!</p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[iTunes Match and Accessory Connected Screen]]></title>
			<link>http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=27748&amp;action=new</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, everyone. I recently purchased an MKi9200 to use with my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.0.1). I subscribe to iTunes Match and generally keep most of my music in the cloud. Unfortunately, when I connect my phone to the MKi9200 with the physical adapter, the menu in MKi9200 only sees songs that are stored on my phone (excluding all songs that are in the cloud). Also, I cannot access the songs in the cloud from the iPhone because my iPhone goes to an &quot;Accessory Connected&quot; screen whenever I plug in the MKi9200. </p><p>Questions: </p><p>(1) Is there any way to get the MKi9200 to recognize songs that are in the cloud on iTunes Match?</p><p>(2) If not, is there any way to avoid the &quot;Accessory Connected&quot; screen, such that I can locate and play songs in the could from my iPhone?</p><p>I realize that I can avoid this problem by using Bluetooth or the headphone jack connection. But I would prefer to use the actual iPhone connection, if possible, and still play my songs from iTunes Match. Thanks!!!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>I&#039;m thinking about purchasing a parrot mki9200 in combination with my iphone5. But I have a few questions :</p><p>- can I use the lightning adapter to connect my phone that will be in a passive carholder so that I can charge it? (As there is an &quot;old&quot; connection to the mki9200)<br />- I have gps-software on my phone, will the spoken instructions be streamed to my car speakers?<br />- Can I play music from my phone at the same time?</p><p>Thanks for answering, I hope I can purchase the parrot Mki9200!</p>]]></description>
