The trend-setting Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth car kit was introduced with a 9 months head start over announced competition.

Thanks to all of our partners, we have become the leaders of this fast growing Bluetooth market, with sales in 28 countries.


Parrot CK3000: Feature-Rich Car Kit for All Bluetooth Phones

Parrot is committed to developing products that seamlessly work with all Bluetooth phones, whatever the brand: Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola and others.

We believe that after changing to another Bluetooth phone, users should be able to sit in their car and instantly use their car kit as they are used to. Today, or ten years from now.

This commitment is unmatched by leading phone manufacturers that focus on supporting their own current range. It is a commitment of specialists, not tied to any specific maker.

Other key benefits derive from our software approach: Parrot car kits are powerful DSP-based platforms that run dedicated application software independently from the phone's own software. Software that we write to interact with any phone, and that does what phones or dependent accessories don't do:
  • Voice dialing: Noise-robust, 500-name voice recognition performed by the car kit processor. Wirelessly synchronizes with up to 3 user phonebooks.
  • Signal processing: Noise-reduction and echo-cancellation software that also run on the car kit are optimized for the in-car environment.
  • Audio integration: The car kit uses a mute cable to control any audio system.
The following chart shows how the Parrot CK3000 with the latest software, version 2.31, compares to other Bluetooth car kits:

Bluetooth Profile: The 'Headset' and 'Handsfree' profiles determine the level of features made available for the connection. Headset profile is basically just a voice channel opened between the phone and the accessory. Handsfree allows more sophistication, with caller ID and dual call. Parrot CK3000 accepts both profiles and connects using the richest profile available from the phone.
Obex is an object exchange protocol implemented by some manufacturers that can speed up synchronization of data. Ck3000 implements Obex to quickly synchronize with the mobile's phonebook.
Settings: The CK3000 integrates extensively with any Bluetooth phone. System settings are performed from the phone accessory menu.
Voice recognition: CK3000 features a DSP-based noise-robust voice recognition that performs under extreme conditions. The car kit can host 3 separate phones, including their phone books.
Navigation: CK3000 can operate with the Webraska IBdN wireless navigation system, speaking instructions through the car audio system.
