Installation
Note: We advise our customers to have the Parrot
ASTEROID fitted
by
a professional.
Safety in st ru ct ions
• Turn the ignition off before installing the Parrot
ASTEROID.
• Install the Parrot ASTEROID only on vehicles with
a 12 V battery.
• Place all cables away from hot places (heater
outlet) and moving parts (gear shift, seat rails ... ).
Before you begi n
• Remove your car stereo from your vehicle. You
may need release keys to do so.
• Try to connect the audio and power connectors
of the Parrot ASTEROID to the connectors of your
vehicle. If this connection is impossible, you
have to obtain an ISO adapter before installing
the Parrot ASTEROID.
• Compare the Parrot ASTEROID antenna
connector to the antenna connector of your
vehicle. If an adapter is necessary, contact your
local car audio specialist. Make sure you also
supply power to your antenna if it is amplified.
Power to the antenna can be supplied using the
Parrot ASTEROID ISO cable.
In st alling th e car st ereo
1. Insert the cage and fix it into the dashboard using
the bracket mounting tab.
2. Access the vehicles car stereo wiring harness
from behind the dashboard.
3. Connect the audio and power connectors of the
Parrot ASTEROID to the ones of your vehicle.

Installing the cables section).

Final check
• Once all the connections are made, turn the
ignition on then off to perform the installation
test. The "Goodbye" message must be
displayed.
• If it is not the case, it is necessary to swap the
positions of the red and yellow wires. Indeed, the
red wire of the power cable must be connected
to the 12V ignition, the yellow wire to the
permanent 12V and the black wire to the ground.
This can be done simply by reversing both fuse
holders located on the Parrot wiring.
In stalling the cabl es
• Connect the iPod I iPhone®, USB, Jack cables
and the GPS dongle to the Parrot ASTEROID. We
recommend you connect all audio cables to the
Parrot ASTEROID even if you do not plan on
using them. Route the audio cables to a suitable
location in your vehicle such as the glove box or
arm rest compartment. It may be necessary to
drill a hole in your dashboard to do so. Avoid
using USB extension cables.
• Make sure you connect the iPod I iPhone cable
to its specific USB port. "iPod" is written above
it.
• Use the double-sided tape to stick the GPS
dongle to your dashboard. Once you have stuck
the dongle to the dashboard, wait for
approximately 2 hours to make sure the adhesive
tape adheres well.
• To guarantee an optimal reception quality we
recommend you do not connect your internet
USB key 3G on the Parrot ASTEROID directly :
use the USB cable to install your device on the
dashboard (or any other open area).
• Use the provided cable ties to make sure the
cables are well fixed to the car stereo. Insert one
of the cable ties into the slot in the top left of the
back of the car stereo (refer to the diagram).
Installing the mi cr ophone
• Make sure the microphone is installed as close
to the mouth of the user as possible. The ideal
distance is 60 em. The best possible location for
the microphone is near the rear-view mirror.
• The microphone needs to be pointed towards the
user.
Basic oper ation s
• To remove the faceplate, press the eject button
on its left. Place the faceplate into the provided
carrying case in order to protect it from
scratches and dust.
