About the Parrot CK3000 Evolution
Add convenient Bluetooth to your travels
Add convenient Bluetooth to your travels
Want hands-free phone operation and control of your phone's important features when behind the wheel? Parrot's CK3000 Evolution Bluetooth cell phone car kit connects to almost any car stereo system so you can take calls from your Bluetooth phone through your car's speakers. We carry cell phone kit harnesses that allow plug-in connection of Parrot's Bluetooth car kits in a wide variety of vehicles.
Clean installation
The Evolution's control panel installs beneath the dashboard, so all you see is the small dash-mounted keypad and microphone. Once your car's engine starts, the Evolution connects automatically to your Bluetooth phone. With the external microphone mounted, just say a name and the Evolution takes care of the dialing. The CK3000 can work with up to three Bluetooth phones at one time.
You control your phone's menu functions with the dash-mounted 3-button keypad. From dialing to phonebook to voicemail, the keypad and voice prompts will guide you easily through phone functions as you keep your eyes on the road. You can change the volume with the press of a button.
Works with most phones
The voice recognition software remembers up to 150 names from your phone's address book for dialing (only works with certain phones). Noise reduction on the external microphone lets you carry on a conversation in a normal tone — no need to shout, even in heavy traffic. Most importantly, the Evolution is programmed to mute your car's radio at the onset of an incoming call, ensuring clear sound over your car's speakers.
The Parrot CK3000 Evolution is compatible with all Bluetooth cell phones on the market and installs with most factory and aftermarket car stereo systems. Some factory systems may require an additional wiring adapter.
Access email and text messages with your voice
This device is now compatible with Voice on the Go, a service which allows you to access your email and text messages, all by voice activation. You can listen to, delete, compose, reply, and forward without taking your eyes off the road. Voice on the Go also works with Facebook and Twitter updates, and is compatible with all phones that work with your Parrot device. You get a year of free service from Parrot — after that, you pay $4.99 a month, or $49.99 a year.
Note: This device does not stream audio over Bluetooth. Compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.
Time-saving connections for your car
Crutchfield carries cell phone kit harnesses that allow easy, plug-in connection of Parrot's Bluetooth car kits in a wide variety of vehicle factory systems. You can also use these harnesses in conjunction with many aftermarket systems in compatible vehicles, as long as the factory stereo connections are available.

purchased the CK3000 with harness for my 07 Tacoma. called support one time to make sure it was plug &play. took a little over an hour to install. most of that time was spent installing the mic! I must say this thing works GREAT! thanks for the after purchase care.
