The New "Parrot System" for McLaren 12C's is available!

Parrot will be supplying McLaren with its new innovative connected infotainment open platform for its future vehicle lines.


This solution will be the new generation of McLaren’s “IRIS” infotainment system. It will be a new implementation of Parrot’s Asteroid Infotainment platform and will enable McLaren drivers to access top-of-the-line connected applications and services such as:

Navigation with iGo Primo software from NNG (AutoNavi for the Chinese market or ItsumoNavi for the Japanese market), including live traffic information via TMC or 3G/LTE.

Online mapping and search for Points Of Interest, with the ability to trigger the navigation to a chosen destination.

Internet radio TuneIn, aggregating radio stations from all over the world. These online radios are supplemented by local ones that are received by the unit’s AM/FM tuner with phase diversity.

Multimedia playback of music files from local sources (iPods, USB thumb drives).

Internet browsing (not available when driving). The browser allows Java animations and films.

The new generation “IRIS” will also manage phone calls over Bluetooth, with high performance Active Echo Cancelling and Noise Reduction algorithms. Thanks to Voice Recognition and Text-to-Speech technologies, drivers will be able to launch calls directly by pronouncing their contacts’ names. These technologies will also allow customers to select an artist on all available media including local sources on the USB ports, or a radio station through the TuneIn App.

The new generation “IRIS” will take the shape of an automotive head unit designed by Parrot. It will connect to the vehicle’s CAN bus (Controller Area Network) and adapt to McLaren’s portrait mode center stack display, with the addition of a new capacitive touch panel allowing smooth scrolling and gesture support. The new generation “IRIS” will be capable of accessing the Internet by tethering to the customer’s smartphone over Bluetooth and WiFi or using a 3G/LTE USB dongle.

Give us a call to pre-order your Parrot System for $3,540.00 Installed.
