Wireless music from your iPhone thanks to OS 3.0 software update!
Bluetooth lovers rejoice, the iPhone and iPod Touch now sport support for Stereo Bluetooth.
Thanks to OS 3.0 software update, your iPhone or iPod Touch can play music wirelessly:
- At home, you can beam your tunes to the Parrot ZIKMU and to Bluetooth-enabled speakers such as Parrot DS1120
- On the road you can stream music to your Parrot hands free system such as Parrot MKi9200.
Move wireless, thanks to iPhone OS 3.0! Available June 17, 2009 on Apple.com

Does this mean that photos from contacts will also be sent to my 9200?
@Seamus
Wishing the same, contacts with photos… and of course a better BT connection.
Hallo, i have iphone 3G with OS 3 and PArrot MKi9100. I dont know how to control bluetooth audio music. Devices are paired, but i can not see the playlist (wiht standard cabel connection is it OK). When I click on BLUETOOTH STEREO on Parrot display, there is “allready connected” and this is all.
Please help. thx.
Just to let you know i have a iphone 3G with a MK6000, the audio now works great but you cannot use the backward and forward skip buttons only the play/pause.
Many thanks for the great product.

Hello i am a prodly owner, of:
PARROT PARTY
Bluetooth® stereo 2.0 portable soundbox
and i have a Iphone 3G with the OS 3, and they connect very well with the Bluetooth, but the music, have lots of stops, and speed acceleration.
Could You help me on this
I want the minimum bluetooth kit to play music off my iphone onto the speakers. I have a Honda Navi 2006, which piece should i pickup?
Will you update the 3200 color? I would love to stream the audio via bt.
I can echo what Jon says above for the MK6100 – Bluetooth audio streaming works great with the iPhone3G on 3.0, but the back & forwards buttons don’t function – only pause.
Hello, my MK6100 sounds great with my iPhone 3G. I would love an update so I can use the forward and backward button.
I just purchased a 3G Iphone. I hae been trying to pair it with the parrot I have but it has been impossible. Are there any reconmendations to pair the iphone?
I have just updated my MKI9200 to the latest FW.
I connect to it with my iPhone 3G running OS3.0
The bluetooth audio is really simple, you just set your iPhone playing and hey presto (as long as you’re paired) the music starts playing. You can pause/play from the MKI unit and skip/browse from the iPhone.
HOWEVER!
After about 20-30 minutes of playing the sounds stop. The iPhone is still playing the music, but the unit does not see it. Only by turning off and back on the bluetooth of the iPhone can I start to hear the music agiain.
Anyone else have this?
Allen,
To pair your iPhone:
1. Go to settings, advanced settings, pair with… on your unit
2. Turn on bluetooth from the settings>General menu of your iphone
3. Select ‘other phone’ from the menu on the parrot
4. ‘Pairing’ or something similar will display
5. The parrot should show up on your iPhone in the bluetooth menu.
6. select the Parrot from the list
7. You should be paired and the parrot will start to synchronise your contacts
@Aaron
yes i have the same problem …. the bluetooth connection is not very good between the two. im hoping there is a new update coming for my 9200 … and pictures of contacts would be a nice add for the iphone and parrot duo
@jon
The track control DOES work on the mk6000 however it takes AGES for it to respond. ABout 5-10 seconds.
I am having terrible echo though, my callers hear themselves back for some reason. Are you getting this?
@Aaron
YES! It’s so bloomin’ irritating. I’ve ripped the thing back out of the dash & started again twice now.
THis thing is great when it it works but needs some stability, otherwise we’ll all go mad!
@Sabine
Fully agree, MK6100 now works really well with bluetooth streaming, except for the forward and back buttons. Does anyone have an answer to speech recognition dialling through Parrot?
I have also a MK6000, the pairing is OK, it works in handsfree phone but the audio doesn’t stream to the MK6000, audio is played back on the iPhone loudspeaker… but the button on the MK6000 pause and restart the audio playing !
What must be done to send the music to the MK6000 ? I do not have any menu like for phone where I can choose the output ?
May be a FW problem ? I have still 1.01c on my MK6000.
@Seamus
no
@Petr
yo wont be able to see anything over bt connection …. just hit play from your device and it should play …. playlist are only in the direct connection mode. hope that helps
How do you turn off the audio streaming on Iphone 3g as when text and email comes in it mutes the stereo on the Parrot 9200.. soo annoying.
I love the fact it streams audio now through parrot 9200 using software 3.0 but the texting and email interruption through the stereo muting outways the benefit of streaming audio. Any one else have this issue??
@William Calder
I have the same problem and even worst ! Evertime I get a text it mutes the car stero, and then automatically starts playback from the iphone !!
Same when I unlock the iphone (I use a pass lock).
Same when I hang up a call… music starts automatically and it diffucult to stop !
Same with keystrokes mutes the radio and then starts the music playback…
It drives me nuts !
Anyone knows how to preven this ?
