About the Parrot RK8200
Parrot reinvents the car stereo with an offering that's all about digital music and Bluetooth. The RK8200 digital media receiver doesn't play CDs, because it offers connections for just about every other music source, including:
- a USB input for playing music from a thumb drive and other USB devices;
- a dedicated connection for your iPod®;
- an SD card reader;
- an auxiliary input that accepts almost any outboard source;
- and Bluetooth connectivity that lets you stream music wirelessly.
Just in case these connection options aren't enough, you can detach the faceplate and connect it to your computer with a USB cable, and store up to 1 gig of MP3 tunes in its internal memory.
The RK8200 offers hands-free calling with your compatible cell phone. When you browse your phone book, the stereo calls out the names of your contacts using text-to-speech technology it synchs automatically to your phone book, so it stays up to date. Voice recognition lets you place calls without touching your phone or the stereo. Callers will hear you loud and clear, thanks to dual microphones built into the faceplate.
A bright, 2.4" TFT display showcases Caller ID, song info, and album art. The playback buttons and large control knob in the center make it easy to access sources and make system changes, while the phone keypad is positioned on the left side for easy dialing. A punchy built-in amplifier teams up with a 7-band equalizer to deliver great sound tailored to your vehicle.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
