Parrot MKi9100 KIT 1722

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.

Decent , but could be quirky

overall it's nice, but at times it won't disengage, not much but still annoying, but maybe it's my old phone, i dunno

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.

totaly awesome!

This device works absolute perfect! I love it! I have recommended it all my friends.

Convenience, value and decent audio quality.

I would recommend to the value conscious DIYers who wants to keep existing car audio, but want to add Bluetooth telephony and audio.

You can set up in different ways, but I choose to use built-in amplifier which is less powerful than my car audio. The quality of audio over Bluetooth is very decent, but probably not for audiophiles. I haven't tried built-in voice-recognition, but I can activate voice-recognition on my smart phone by pressing call button on the remote. Voice quality is good and loud enough. During hwy driving, however, voice-recognition was struggling though conversation was not an issue. The wireless remote is very convenient though hope it was bit more responsive.

I purchased a wiring harness for my car from another shop which simplified installation a lot. Experience may vary depending on the model of your car.

All in all, very decent product.

Parrot

Overall I am very pleased with the Parrot MKi9100. My only issue is the LCD display being very difficult to see in any kind of sunlight even with the brightness turned all the way up. Technically you don't need to SEE the display to use its functionality so I suppose it's not an issue. Other than that, it's AWESOME! Wireless remote, Bluetooth calls & streaming audio! Wired aux/iPod inputs come in handy too! I get in the car and my iphone connect automatically. If I start the ipod it streams automatically, same with Pandora/Sirius XM/iHeartRadio
