A full system dedicated to conversation and music in car
The MKi system is a unique range of Bluetooth hands-free car kits that will install into every type of vehicle. It combines the latest communication technologies with a full set of services dedicated to music. Once paired with your Bluetooth mobile phone, the MKi enables you to have any phone conversations in your vehicle without needing to handle the telephone. You can even leave the phone in your pocket. Connection with your cell phone is made in a completely transparent way. The user-independent voice recognition and voice synthesis are now integrated in the MKi car kit, which dramatically eases the way of using them. All the connectors for any type of music are provided with each MKi hands-free kit, including the iPod, iPhone, iTouch, USB keys, USB MP3 players, Bluetooth Stereo devices, CD players, MiniDisc, and more!
Play your music in the car
The MKi9000 is delivered with a music cable specifically designed to adapt to any sort of digital and analog music player. This includes an iPod/ iPhone connector, a USB connector to plug any USB MP3 player and a Line-In input for analogue sources. MKi will also connect to any Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP) source, such as a MP3 player, musicphone, smartphones, PDAs, etc. All music files are played back on the car’s speakers (front and back) while the MKi built-in digital amplifier transforms your car into a true concert hall!
Your voice takes control
The MKi automatically synchronize the names and phone numbers in your mobile with their phonebooks and update theirs phonebooks each time a new entry is detected. To access your phonebook and make a call, simply press the green button to start the user-independent voice recognition: the MKi recognize your voice and the name you are saying without any prior teaching process. You can also directly access the phonebook and browse all the names thanks to the voice synthesis (Text To Speech). Parrot has really made this simple. To follow on your conversation in a discrete mode, switch instantaneously the communication
towards your Bluetooth headset or your mobile phone.
Wide compatibility and perfect integration
The MKi series offer the widest compatibility with existing and future Bluetooth mobile phones, thanks to its full compatibility with the Bluetooth wireless communication protocol. The software of the MKi is upgradeable for free at any time from the parrot web site. And to benefit a higher integration in the vehicle, MKi can be interfaced with an optional module, the Parrot MULTICAN. This uses the existing steering wheel mounted commands to control your Parrot Bluetooth hands-free car kit. There is no additional visible part to install, it only uses the existing car’s steering wheel control buttons. You keep controlling the car radio from the steering wheel and if the steering wheel doesn’t have enough buttons, the Parrot MULTICAN uses a specific combination of buttons to compensate for the missing ones. At least a fully invisible Bluetooth hands free solution!

I was looking to pick up some type of Bluetooth for my BMW that was better than my stock system and someone recommended this. I picked it up and the installer suggested I use Parrot's unika part. I guess it's the part that makes my factory buttons control my Parrot. It worked out great.
I had some issues with the phone- similar to the other review posted by "Dontbuyparrot.." All of these problems were solved by a software update... I loaded the new software onto a USB drive and plugged it into the Parrot and it updated itself! Sounds like you should have done some reading because that was in my manual!

Before you purchase this or any Parrot product do some research and look at the complaints on the Parrot tech site.... The manual it comes with does not even match the product, manual says to go to menu's that this unit does not have and emails to Parrot tech support are not answered with any usable information. Call sound quality is poor, connections are hit and miss, cannot hang up any calls except on the phone itself, can't stop USB music unless you unplug the USB, can't stop bluetooth music unless you shut the bluetooth off on the phone itself.... This thing is almost worthless, it doesn't do any of its functions well.
