UNIKA is a universal interface that allows you to control the Parrot MKi / RKi directly with the
OEM steering wheel commands. UNIKA can work with car protocols such as CAN, K-BUS
or resistive systems.

section of our website www.parrot.com.
Installation
We recommend you to install the Parrot MKi / RKi before installing the
of the Parrot
UNIKA. Make sure the installation is correctly performed by checking if the
MKi / RKi
«Good bye» message is displayed when you turn off the ignition.
► Refer to the documentation of your Parrot MKi for more information.
Selecting the
Use the DIP switches located on one side of the UNIKA to select the
protocol
protocol (resistive or CAN Bus / K-BUS) on which the vehicle is based.
► Refer to the diagrams p.19.
Warning: Make sure the UNIKA is not powered before selecting the
protocol.
Power supply
The power supply for the UNIKA interface is taken from the power cable
of the Parrot MKi. It is important to follow the color code of the power
cable wires: the red wire of the kit's cable corresponds to the permanent
12V supply; the orange wire corresponds to the ignition 12V ; the black wire
is for ground ; the yellow wire corresponds to the Parrot mute output.
Warning : Connect the ignition to the Parrot car kit if the vehicle is
based on a resistive or a K-Bus protocol. Don't connect the ignition
if the vehicle is based on a CAN protocol.
On some vehicles, the 12V power wires may be reversed, in which case
you must reverse the red and orange wires of the hands-free kit's power
supply. This can easily be done by reversing the two fuse holders on the
kit's power cable.
Reset
In case of problem or if you have installed the UNIKA interface in another
procedure
car, reset the UNIKA by holding down the Reset button until the LED turns
off (if the vehicle is based on a CAN Bus / K-BUS protocol) or blinks red
(resistive protocol). You can then release the reset button.
UNIKA modes
Depending on the steering wheel control in your vehicle, the UNIKA
interface will enable you to take full advantage of the telephone and music
functions in 4 different modes: Mode A (4 buttons), Mode B (5 buttons),
Mode C (6 buttons) and Mode D (7 buttons).The selection of this mode
depends on the protocol of the vehicle.
Note : Pictograms on the buttons depend on the model of the vehicles.
