Parrot RK8200 - User Guide 4
Introduction
The Bluetooth® technology enables voice and data to be sent via a short-distance radio
link. It allows several electronic devices to communicate with each other, particularly
phones and hands-free kits. Parrot is drawing on its long years of experience in signal
processing and voice recognition technology to offer a car stereo with a built-in hands-free
kit with superior audio quality during calls.
The Parrot RK8200 is an FM/AM RDS car stereo, featuring all the connections required for
digital and analogue music. It is also a Bluetooth hands-free kit boasting sophisticated
telephony functions. Completely built into the vehicle's audio system, music and
conversations are reproduced over the vehicle's speakers for maximum listening quality. A
car stereo has never provided so many connections: specific iPod connector, port for a
USB flash drive and USB MP3 player, SD card reader and a line-in socket for analogue
sources. The Parrot RK8200 also plays files sent by Bluetooth (compatible with Bluetooth
stereo A2DP) from a Bluetooth mobile phone or player. Over 300 MP3 tracks can be stored
in its internal memory.
Kit content
The kit contains:
•A Parrot RK8200
•A carrying case for faceplate
•An USB / Mini USB cable
•Release keys
•A fitting screw with a rubber cap

your Parrot RK8200 when you leave your vehicle. Without this
front, the Parrot RK8200 cannot be used.
•
To remove the
faceplate, press
the eject button in
the top left.
• To replace the faceplate, put it in front of the car stereo and
push it.
Make sure not to push the screen during the faceplate
installation.
• To remove the entire car stereo:
1. Remove the car stereo’s faceplate.
2.
Insert the keys into the appropriate holes until they
remain stuck.
3. Pull the device towards you.
To properly save the Parrot RK8200 parameters, make sure
the device is turned off before removing the face plate.

Installing the
PARROT RK8200
We advise our customers to have the Parrot RK8200 fitted
by a professional.
1. Get you previous car stereo out of the dash.
►Refer to your previous car stereo user guide or contact your
car dealer for more information.
2. Insert the mounting bracket and fix it into the dashboard using
the bracket mounting tabs.
3. Pull the ends of the wires out of the dashboard through the
mounting bracket.
4. Connect the audio and power connectors to the connectors of
your Parrot RK8200.
►If this connection is impossible, you have to obtain an ISO
cable to adapt your car radio to the ISO connectors of the Parrot
RK8200. Consult our website www.parrotshopping.com for more
information.
5. Compare the Parrot RK8200 antenna connector to the antenna
connector of your vehicle.
►If an adapter is necessary, contact your car dealer for more
information.
6. Check the polarity of your car radio. To do so, turn the ignition
off once the Parrot RK8200 is installed: the message “Goodbye!”
must be displayed.
- If it is the case, you can skip to step 7.
- If it is not the case, it is necessary to inverse the positions of the
red and yellow wires. Indeed, the red wire of the power cable
must be connected to the permanent 12V, the yellow wire to the
12V ignition and the black wire to the ground. This can be done
simply by reversing both terminal spade tags located on the
Parrot wiring.
Do not connect the yellow wire to the permanent 12V,
otherwise you can cause the vehicle battery to go flat.
7. Slide the car stereo into the mounting bracket and attach the
faceplate.

Parrot RK8200 - User Guide 7
The microphone located on the lower edge of the faceplate
may be obstructed because of the design of your
dashboard. In that case, you may need an external
microphone.
