Parrot's full CK and MK Range of installed car kits and the portable
PMK5800 and MINIKIT speakerphone can now be used with iPhone(TM)
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Parrot, a leader in wireless
peripherals around the mobile phone, today announced that iPhone(TM) users
can now enjoy the advantages of Parrot's Bluetooth(TM) hands-free car kits.
iPhone(TM) users will enjoy crystal clear conversations directly
through their car speakers in hi-fi quality audio with an installed Parrot
car kit or music kit, both which allow drivers to keep their hands on the
wheel and eyes on the road. The iPhone(TM) also supports the same automatic
synchronization of contacts available in all Parrot's car kits.
iPhone(TM) users can also go hands-free in their home or office (or
car) with the Parrot MINIKIT, a sleek portable hands-free speakerphone that
fits easily in a pocket or on a desk. The latest software that allows
iPhone(TM) usage with the Parrot MINIKIT is available at http://www.parrot.com
where free software updates for all Parrot car kits can be downloaded.
Parrot car kits available now that can be used with the iPhone(TM):*

This Bluetooth hands-free car kit has a tiny user interface that mounts
discretely on the dashboard for crystal clear conversation directly through
the car speakers.
Parrot CK3100 LCD
Parrot's top-selling Bluetooth Parrot CK3100 LCD features a monochrome
screen that displays phone contacts and caller ID. It will pair with up to
five phones, store up to 1,000 contacts by paired phone and up to 150 voice
tags. And like all Parrot car kits it offers full voice recognition
technology for hands-free use, and advanced noise and echo cancellation
technology for clear phone conversations.

This dash-mounted color LCD screen displays information including
caller and photo ID. Photos can be used as wallpaper. The Parrot 3200
LS-COLOR also allows you to browse your phone's address book and provides a
visual menu that is easy to see at a glance.

The Parrot MINIKIT is a hands-free portable speakerphone that features
next-generation, best-in-class voice recognition and audio quality for
crystal clear, voice-activated phoning in the car, home or office. Sleek

Parrot MK6000
The Parrot MK6000 is a full-featured car kit that also allows the user
to stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth stereo (A2DP)-enabled music
player through the car's audio system. (Note: The iPhone(TM) is not
Bluetooth- enabled and will require a separate adapter to stream music
wirelessly.)
Parrot MK6100
Like the Parrot MK600, the Parrot MK6100 is a full-featured car kit
with streaming music, but also has a dash-mounted OLED to display music
tracks and caller I.D., along with a steering wheel control. (Note: The

stream music wirelessly.)
Parrot PMK5800
The Parrot PMK 5800 is a Bluetooth/FM-based portable plug-and-play
device that slips into a vehicle's 12-volt accessory outlet. It handles
both hands- free phone calls -- and music streamed from a Bluetooth
A2DP-enabled device like a smartphone or iPod, or via a wired mini-USB
connection. Calls and music are transmitted via an FM signal to the
vehicle's stereo. (Note: The iPhone(TM) is not Bluetooth-enabled and will
require a separate adapter to stream music wirelessly.)

About Parrot
Founded in 1994, Parrot has rapidly established itself as a pivotal
global player for wireless mobile telephone accessories. Drawing on its
tried-and- tested expertise on voice recognition and signal processing
technologies, Parrot was one of the very first companies to produce
Bluetooth(R)-based wireless hands free car kits, having identified this
standard's vast potential as early as 1999. In 2006, Parrot sold about 3
million units. Determined to accompany the wireless peripherals'
irresistible breakthrough into our day-to- day lives, Parrot has been
developing since 2006 a new wireless range of sound and image products.
Today, Parrot truly has a major international focus: 90.5% of its sales are
generated outside of France, and a large percentage of its production is
outsourced to carefully selected partners, enabling it to achieve the best
possible level of quality and responsiveness. Parrot is now particularly
well positioned to capitalize on the bright future opening up for mobile
telephone devices. Parrot has achieved strong growth in its consolidated
revenues, up from 80.9 million Euros pro forma in 2005 to 166.9 million
Euros in 2006.

* The CK and MK range of installed car-kits as well as the Parrot
MINIKIT portable speakerphone can support the telephone and contact
synchronization functions of the iPhone(TM). However, since the iPhone(TM)
is not Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP) enabled, it requires a separate adapter to
stream music wirelessly. The Parrot RK8200 car-stereo (available in Q2) is
totally compatible with iPhone(TM).
