Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great.

I used this to install a Parrot CK3000 in a 2008 Civic EX (stock radio, non-navi) and it worked great.

Despite initial appearances, every connection is "keyed", so the only connectors that will fit each terminal of the harness are the ones that are supposed to go there. It's pretty much foolproof.

One note - most of the instructions/guides for the CK3000 mention that using the BT-1722 harness will require a wire swap on the fuse holders of the Parrot kit. Apparently, this has been corrected in the 1722-A harness (this one), so that swap is no longer needed, making the entire installation completely plug and play.

The harness build quality was also excellent.

It works as advertised, is well made, and dead simple to install. In short, it does everything it's supposed to do and does it well.

I don't give maximum rating scores lightly, but this harness earned every one of them. I couldn't ask for more.

Interface cable for Parrot bluetooth phone installation..SWEET!

I installed a Parrot bluetooth unit so I could use hands-free operation of my phone plus automatic muting of my car stereo. Installing the Parrot requires that a lot of wires must be cut, soldered and taped OR by using the Metra BT-1722-A you just unplug the original 06'-09' Honda Civic wiring harness and re-plug your Parrot (or similar product) into the circuit. Its neat, clean and if you ever need to pull out the bluetooth interface, it's easy and back to original in a snap! Great product. Sonic was one of the only places stocking this product.

Will not plug and play with Civic SI (06) like it's supposed to.

This review does not speak to Sonic, only the Metra product that they carry. Metra were rude, told me it would work with an SI, their website clearly showed it was compatible with the SI (amplified sound system) and yet when I took it to an installer, he had to splice it directly to the wire harness which cost me extra. It will work, but it is not a plug and play. This complaint is not so much about Sonic, more about the most disgusting experience I have ever had with a company--that being Metra. The Southern U.S. Regional Sales Manager was disgraceful and rude. I will never buy a Metra product again. I run my own company, and I know how necessary it is to listen to the consumer. I'm glad I have this chance to describe my experience with Metra. While it still works (thanks to the installer), I have to rate durability at 1 star because of my terrible experience as for look/design, that's a 1 or n/a. As for overall, value and ease of use--a definite 1 star.

Metra BT-1722-A

Ordered this product to interface a "Parrot" bluetooth interface to my Honda. It was plug and play and worked great.

Good Price, Good Product.

I would definitely recommend this product for any one who is a do-it your self kind of person. Looking at all the wires can be a little intimidating but the instructions are simple enough to follow. The price was very reasonable. This product worked great with my Parrot Bluetooth set up. I would recommend it. Self installation definitely saved me some money.

Decent but not amazing.

Fair audio quality no matter where the mic is positioned. Can't compete with the better Bluetooth headpieces.

Fairly buggy with iPhone. For example, we have to plug in our phones and then unplug and replug to get the audio to work.

The amplifier should be stronger. Oh highways it's barely enough.
This is the best of the worst. In otherwords, there aren't any other better integrated options but this is only average at best.

If you plan to use it for business calls then save yourself the money. Buy a planteronics voyager pro. Better noise cancelation and audio.

Best for hands free/streaming audio

This thing rocks as both a hands free cell phone and wireless streaming audio device. Sounds great with my factory Infinity sound system. Don't really listen to radio or CDs anymore!

Good Product - streets ahead of the older Parrot CK3100

I upgraded from the CK3100 in my VW Touareg to the MKi9200 six months ago and am very happy with the improved Audio Quality for the main use of Bluetooth Handsfree for phone calls.

The display and controls are excellent.

Haven't yet got the Audio/Ipod controls running - wiring up as per the manual with the Phone Audio input and Streaming Audio (IPOD) wires connected together isn't the right answer - can't control audio volume and phone calls correctly - I need to seperate these outputs and hopefully that will work.,

good, but not perfect

Connectors do not come, we had to cut the wires. Loose board.

Good Product

Bought for my daughter. Works perfectly..no issues...highly recommend it as after market retrofit.

not impressed

I am not impressed. The blue box didn't work for me.

Perfect For 03 Accord Coupe!

I used the install harness from C*********** and it made the installation a breeze! The Parrot worked for the most part as advertised. It would be nice to be able to get text messages! The only issue I have had from time to time, is if I get in the car with my phones Bluetooth off, after starting the car and trying to connect the phone, it will not connect. I have to turn the phones bluetooth on, and turn the car (power) off to get the Parrot to reset and connect. Other than that it's flawless!

Don't by it with a lockpick GMX 550.

The Parrot MKi9200 will not work well with the Lockpick GMX550 even after contacting Lockpick about it (they said to get a Parrot but did not say which one). Trust me, don't waist your money If you want this as a combo with the GMX550. It Looks good and I love the features. Shame it did not work well with what I have.

Great product with easy and frequent software updates

After much research and options for my girlfriends car I went with this unit. The built in Bluetooth and constant software updates make this great. It pairs both of our iPhones and syncs quickly. Software updates take only a couple of minutes via flash drive. Great unit and a great price!

Troublesome

It doesn't work and I've wasted my money. Never again.

Amazing Parrot MKi9200

Had the Parrot MKi9200 added to my wife's 2006 Scion xA since she has been doing way too much dangerous texting/talking & driving. We considered replacing the head unit but with the xA's, the double DIN is located very high on the dashboard and putting a shiny new head unit will be too attractive to thieves.

Hence, we went this route - Car Toys had the small detachable monitor installed low on the dashboard, visible via the steering wheel and we placed the small remote down by the parking brake so that it can't be seen from the outside. The microphone is installed up high where the liner meets the windshield up by the rear view mirror.

As far as performance, the unit is amazing. The xA has a very high level of road noise when driving at highway speeds and when you're talking in the car, the volume level can be raised significantly with the sound coming through your speakers and it sounds crystal clear. With my wife using it in the car and talks to me on either my cell or home phone, I don't hear the road noise either. The noise cancellation feature on the dual mic works flawlessly.

In addition, we've been able to stream music from both our LG Rumor Touch phones and we've added a USB thumb drive to it and now have our library of music at our command. All in all, a very slick unit.
