Parrot MK6000
INTRODUCTION
The Bluetooth® technology enables voice and data to be sent via a short-distance radio link.
It allows several electronic devices to communicate with each other, particularly phones and
hands-free kits.
Parrot is drawing on its long years of experience in signal processing and voice recognition
technology to offer a hands-free kit with superior audio quality during calls. The Parrot MK6000
is the first hands-free kit to incorporate the Beamforming technique by means of a double
microphone. This technology allows for greater call quality and improved noise reduction.
With the Parrot MK6000, you will be able to make phone calls from your car while keeping your
hands on the wheel. Combined with the voice recognition feature, the text-to-speech function
(automatic conversion of contact names into speech) gives you direct access to your phonebook
from the Parrot MK6000. You can also use the streaming audio function on your hands-free
kit to listen to the music files on your phone, PDA or audio player over your vehicle’s speakers
(if your phone, PDA or audio player supports the streaming audio function). It acts as a real
extension of your mobile phone

USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
INSTALLING THE PARROT MK6000
Prior to fixing the hands-free kit’s different components inside the car, connect the installation
cables, control keypad and double microphone to the electronic control unit.
Remove the original connectors from your vehicle’s audio system.
The cables supplied with the kit feature «ISO» connectors and two pairs of line-out jacks. The
line-out jacks can be used if your audio system features this option (use of an amplifier).
Several set-ups are therefore possible, depending on the type of car stereo and your vehicle:
Parrot MK6000
6
Car stereo with an «ISO» connector (refer to the following diagram):
• Connect the male connectors of the hands-free kit to the car stereo.
• Join the vehicle’s audio and power supply cables to the female connectors of the
Parrot MK6000
• On the installation cable, connect the free yellow wire to one of the audio system’s
corresponding mute-in jacks if available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 3).
Note: the mute function is used to silence the sound from your car stereo to make way
for a call. The choice of the mute-in jack depends on your car stereo’s configuration.
Using ISO connectors
• A: Ignition 12V
• B: Constant 12V supply
• C: Ground
• D: Connection to the vehicle’s power supply
• E: Connection to the vehicle’s speakers
1.Rear right speaker (purple / purple-black)
2.Front right speaker (grey / grey-black)
3.Front left speaker (white / white-black)
4.Rear left speaker (green / green-black)
• F: This wiring is not used.
7
Parrot MK6000
Note: with this type of set-up, the original connectors of your vehicle’s audio system need not be removed.
Car stereo with line-in jacks (refer to the following diagram):
• Use this type of connection by wiring a line-out jack (brown & white wire or red & black
wire) to your car stereo’s line-in jack.
• Using the two pairs of line-out jacks will enable you to take advantage of the streaming
audio function in stereo over your vehicle’s speakers.
• On the installation cable, connect the free yellow wire to one of the audio system’s
corresponding mute-in jacks if available (mute in 1, mute in 2 or mute in 3).
Note: the mute function is used to silence the sound from your car stereo to make
way for a call. The choice of the mute-in jack depends on your car stereo’s confi-
guration.
Using line-in jacks
• A: Ignition 12V

Car stereo without «ISO» connectors:
• To simplify the wiring procedure, you will need to purchase an «ISO adapter» cable.
• Refer to the range of ISO adapters on our website: www.parrot.biz
Installing the kit’s power cable:
• Refer to your car stereo’s wiring diagram.
• The red wire of the kit’s cable must correspond to the constant +12V supply, the orange
wire to the ignition +12V and the black wire to ground.
• Check that the orange wire is not connected to the constant +12V supply, as you could run
down the vehicle’s battery, preventing your hands-free kit from operating correctly.
• On some vehicles, the red and orange power supply wires may need to be reversed.
This can easily be done by reversing the two fuse holders on the Parrot MK6000
installation cable.
Note: on some vehicles, there is no ignition +12V on the vehicle’s connectors. You
must therefore connect the orange power supply wire to the fuse box or another
ignition power source.
Checking the wiring:
• When switching off your vehicle’s ignition, you should notice the following:
- The red and green LEDs should turn off
- The «Fast forward» and «Fast rewind» LEDs should light up for one second
- The «Play» LED should light up for one second
• When switching on the ignition, the opposite should happen.
Otherwise, the ignition +12V and the constant +12V supply have been reversed. In this case,
reverse the two fuse holders on the kit’s power supply lead.
Choose the place for the keypad inside your vehicle. We would advise you to fit it in the centre
of the dashboard or near you. The double microphone must be angled towards the driver and
preferably fitted between the sun visor and the rear-view mirror.
