Note:
We
advise our customers
to
have the Parrot
ASTEROID
fitted
by a professional.

• 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 ...
).
Be

• 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.

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.

• 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).
