![]() I left a few messages to my office voicemail under various conditions (top down, interstate, etc) and upon listening back its startingly clear.Īlso, the hands-free function is smart enough to handle when you are on a call and arrive at your destination, the parrot stays on even after the car is turned off (t normally powers down a few seconds after the car id turned off), and it prompts you to transfer to cell phone or stay hands free and it will stay on as long as you are on the call. I'm super impressed with the way the parrot handles my cell phone. Very smooth and competant phone integration Perhaps they'll add that with a future firmware upgrade.Īfter riding with the parrot installed for a day, a few observations. Now if I could just figure out how to tweak the font or remove the scrolling text that displays song titles. Once transferred, you can set any of them as the default wallpaper via "Display > Wallpapers > Custom". My blackberry has some sort of restriction on sending pics via bluetooth, but tonight I used my wife's droid and managed to easily transfer all the of wallpapers (see attached below) over to the parrot. With the parrot kit you get hands free calling, ipod integration with album art, playlist control, spoken menus, and amazing sound as well as an aux input and usb input to boot!Ībout the wallpapers. The parrot Mki series, particularly the 9200 is definitely a match made in heaven for the Saab SS. I wish another "Me" had done this before I had to do it so I could just follow the steps.īut I'm hoping that because of my efforts and proving that it can be done without any harnesses, Tel1 wiring or whatever, that more people will attempt this install. The sound is simply amazing - indistinguishable from CD. No extra harness or tel1 adapters neededĬlick to expand.Yep but I was beginning to think it would be worth it to just have someone install this thing, LOL.ĭefinitely a Eureka moment when I jiggled the white wire and finally got full stereo sound out of the parrot. You will place the fuse tap into fuse slot #3 and place 2 10amp fuses into the taps fuse holders (there's an inline fuse on the parrot leads, but you have to have a fuse to complete the circuit on the fuse tap nonetheless).ģ) Connect the parrot red+ line out to pin #4 on the back of the radio (Aux in R)Ĥ) Connect the parrot white+ line out to pin #3 on the back of the radio (Aux in L)ĥ) Connect both of the parrot's remaining line level outputs (brown- & black-) to pin #10 (ground) on the back of the radio (Aux ground)Ħ) Pair your phone, connect your ipod and enjoy. I still have to connect the telephone mute line so that I can activate hands free send/receive and voice dialing when I'm on anything other than Aux.ġ) Connect the parrot black ground wire to the cigarette lighter's black wire and connect the parrot's orange 12V switched/ignition lead to the cig lighter's red/blue wire using a 3m quick connect inline tap (pack of 4 for $3).Ģ) Connect the parrot red 12V constant/battery to the fuse box on the left side dash using a $5 "add a circuit" fuse tap as described above. I'll post a full update with pics and parts list later. I'll have to take the harness issue up with the folks at parrot, but at least I now know the full installation procedure. So now I have sweet sound and hands-free phone calls too Especially after waiting for it this long and stressing that I might have a faulty aux input!! I was able to push the white wire in a bit in the harness and get full sound, and the sound is pretty amazing. It appears that the parrot harness was to blame all along. I could get full sound depending on touching the white wire. In trouble shooting my mono sound issue, I noticed that when I moved the parrot blue box to check the white line out lead, the sound started coming on in stereo intermittantly. Update: I got sound fully! Faulty Parrot harness!
