Parrot's MK6100 car kit lets you talk hands-free on a compatible phone, receive visual information on calls, and listen to conversations directly through your car stereo. The kit also streams MP3 music from any stereo Bluetooth A2DP source, such as a phone or portable MP3 player. It works with nearly all Bluetooth cell phones on the market and installs with most factory and aftermarket car stereo systems.

The kit contains three components: a mute box that installs beneath the dashboard, a remote control keypad, and a display panel, plus hardware for mounting the keypad and display on your dash or steering wheel. Once your car's engine starts, the MK6100 connects automatically to your Bluetooth phone — just say a name and the MK6100 takes care of the dialing. The MK6100 can handle up to five Bluetooth devices at once.

Visual convenience and security:
The MK6100's display panel features a high-contrast screen for showing phone numbers, caller names, and music information. Two built-in microphones on the display panel reduce noise and interference so you can hear the conversation clearly. The compact display panel detaches from its mounting base, so you can keep thieves from getting at the MK6100 when you're away.

User-friendly controls:
The 6-button keypad and display screen guide you through phone functions from dialing to phonebook to voicemail, while you keep your eyes on the road. The scroll-knob on the keypad lets you control the volume and browse menus, plus you can rewind, fast-forward, and play the next or previous song.

Easy operation:
With many phones, the voice recognition software remembers up to 150 names from your address book for dialing. You can talk in a normal tone — no need to shout, even in heavy traffic. Most importantly, the MK6100 mutes your car's radio at the onset of an incoming call, ensuring clear sound over your car's speakers.
