Parrot MKi9200 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.

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.
