Parrot UNIKA is a universal interface that allows you to control the Parrot RKi8400 directly with the OEM steering wheel commands. Parrot UNIKA can work with car protocols such as CAN, KBUS or resistive systems.
Installation of the Parrot RKi
We recommend you to install the Parrot RKi before installing the UNIKA. Make sure the installation is correctly performed by checking if the "Good bye" message is displayed when you turn off the ignition.
Refer to the documentation of your Parrot RKi for more information
Selecting the protocol
Use the DIP switches located on one side of the UNIKA to select the protocol (resistive or CAN Bus / KBus) on which the vehicle is based. Warning: Make sure the UNIKA is not powered before selecting the protocol.
Installing the UNIKA with the Parrot RKi8400
Replace the MKi part on the UNIKA cable by the provided RKi part. Connect the UNIKA between the Parrot RKi8400 and the vehicle wiring. 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 as this signal is supplied by the Parrot UNIKA.
The wires corresponding to the CAN / KBUS protocol must be connected correctly to your car stereo’s. It is important to follow the wiring diagram for your vehicle.
Defining the Mode
If your vehicle is based on a CAN Bus or KBus protocol, the mode (A, B, C or D) is automatically defined. The LED blinks in red and turns green once the mode is defined
Checking the wiring
Once your UNIKA interface has been fitted, the LED should light up green and should turn amber while pressing a button on your steering wheel. If the LED does not light up, check the power supply connections. If the LED is red or blinks red, check the CAN wire connections.
