ground. Check that the orange wire is not connected to the constant +12V supply, as
you could run down the vehicle’s battery.
Note: In order to check the wiring, connect the screen before placing it on the dashboard.
Refer to the Checking the wiring section for more information.
On some vehicles, there is no ignition +12V on the vehicle’s connectors. You must
therefore connect the orange power supply wire to the fuse box or another ignition
power source.
Connecting the mute cable
The mute function is used to cut the sound of your car stereo to enable the sound of
the Parrot ASTEROID Mini (music, phone calls etc.).
Mute in 1, mute in 2 and mute in 3 are only suggested mute locations : the choice of the
mute-in jack depends on your car stereo’s configuration. Test and verify the mute on
the vehicle then connect the free yellow wire on the ISO cable to the audio system’s
corresponding mute-in jack (connection 5).
Installing the electronic box
Avoid installing the electronic box near heating or air-conditioning system or on a spot
directly exposed to sunlight.
Make sure the electronic box stays fixed once it is installed and that it will not move
while you are driving.
Carefully reinstall the car stereo. Do not force. If you are short of space behind the car
stereo to install the electronic box, consider installing it in the glove box.
Checking the wiring
To perform the installation check, turn the ignition on then off once the Parrot
ASTEROID Mini is installed: the message “Goodbye!” must be displayed.
If it is not the case, it is necessary to inverse the positions of the red and orange wires.
Indeed, the red wire of the power cable must be connected to the permanent 12V, the
orange wire to the 12V ignition and the black wire to the ground. This can be done
simply by unplugging and swapping the cables located on the Parrot wiring
(connection 6).
