Connecting the parking brake lead

The parking brake lead allows you to use the Parrot ASTEROID Smart video function or
applications only when the parking brake is set. If this cable is not connected to your
vehicle parking brake system, the video function will not be available.
1. Connect the parking brake extension lead to the Parrot ASTEROID Smart green
cable.
2. Locate and test the parking brake signal cable in the vehicle. This cable connects
your parking brake to the parking brake signal on your dashboard.
3. Route the Parrot ASTEROID Smart parking brake extension lead (green) safely and
securely from the Parrot ASTEROID Smart and connect this to the parking brake
signal cable using a suitable method.
Warning: An improper connection or use of this cable is dangerous and illegal in many
states.

Installing a rear view camera

If you are to use the Parrot ASTEROID Smart with a rear view camera (not provided),
the orange cable on the Parrot ASTEROID Smart ISO cable will detect when the
gearstick is moved to "reverse". Connect this cable to the one providing power to the
reverse lamp of your vehicle in order to display the rear view camera image when
backing your vehicle.
Connect the rear view camera video cable to the Video CAM connector located at the
back of the Parrot ASTEROID Smart.

Installing the microphone

The optimum location for the microphone is in the centre of the vehicles roof near the
rear view mirror. The microphone ideally needs to be less than 60cm's from the users
mouth pointing directly towards them with no obstructions.
Please take care when routing the microphone cable through the vehicle to the desired
location, we recommend routing alongside existing manufacture's wiring looms
securing as you go making sure the microphone cable is not pinched or trapped.
Warning: Do not run the microphone cable in such a way as to obstruct or interfere with
the vehicles operation or cause injury to its occupants. In particular vehicle safety device
such as airbags and other SRS systems.
