About this guide
In order to limit our paper consumption and as
part of our environmentally friendly and
responsible approach, Parrot prefers to put
user documents online rather than print them
out. This simplified guide to the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart is therefore limited to
providing you with the main instructions that
will make it easy for you to use the device.
More information can be found on the support
section of our website, www.parrot.com: the
full manual, FAQs, tutorials, andmore.
Note: iPod®, iPhone® (in iPod mode) and iPad®
will be referred to as an "iPod"in this manual.
Software updates
Download the latest update for free (and
consult the update procedure) on the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart support page on our website
www.parrot.com. These updates will enable
you to receive new features and improve the
product’s compatibility.
Note: You can also download the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart's updates while connected to
the Internet. The availability of an update is
indicated on the notification bar.
Warnings
All functions requiring an increased attention
should only be used while the vehicle is
stationary. Your safetyandthe one of the other
road users prevails over phone calls, music and
driving assistance applications. Be responsible:
drive carefully and pay full attention to your
surrounding. Parrot denies any liability should
you choose not to respect this warning.
Use the Parrot ASTEROID Smart with a
reasonable volume level so that you can hear all
external noises while driving.
The Parrot ASTEROID Smart includes NdFeB
magnets which can damage objects sensitive to
magnetic fields (pacemakers, credit cards,
mechanical clocks…).
The Parking Brake wire of Parrot ASTEROID
Smart's ISO cable detects whether or not the
parking brake is on. It must be connected
followingthe installation instructions provided
in this document. Incorrect installation or
connection may be dangerous and illegal in
many states / countries. Under no
circumstances should the screen within the
driver's field of vision broadcast any videos

12 English
while the vehicle is moving. The same applies
to anyapplications other than those for driving
or navigation assistance.
If you attempt to use an application that is not
intended for navigation or driving assistance
when you are driving, an on-screen warning will
be displayed. To watch a video on the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart's screen, make sure that the
vehicle is stopped in a safe area and that the
parkingbrake is on.
Steering wheel control interface
A steering wheel control interface can be used
to connect your vehicle’s steering wheel
controls to your Parrot car stereo. With this
interface, you will be able to make phone calls
via the steering wheel controls while keeping
your hands on the wheel. Refer to our website
www.parrot.com for more information.

where it mayinjure the driver or a passenger if
the vehicle stops suddenly.
Do not install the Parrot ASTEROID Smart
where it may interfere with the driver
operation of the vehicle.
Do not drill holes in the dashboard or any panel
without first making sure there is nothing
behind it. Do not damage any fuel line,
electroniccomponent or cable.
If you need to use screws, do not allow them to
come into contact with any power cable.
Install the Parrot ASTEROID Smart only on
vehicles with a 12Vbattery.
Place all cables away from hot places (heater
outlet) and moving parts (gear shift, seat
rails...). Make sure they will never wind around
the steering column or gearstick.
Confirm the proper function of your vehicle's
other equipment after installing the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart.
Do not install the Parrot ASTEROID Smart or
one of its components where the airbag may
deploy.
Do not install the Parrot ASTEROID Smart in
places subject to high temperatures or
humidity.
Make sure you leave enough space behind the
Parrot ASTEROID Smart once installed so that
proper heat dispersal is ensured.
Before you begin
Remove your car stereofrom your vehicle. You
may need release keys to do so.
Try to connect the audio and power connectors
of the Parrot ASTEROID Smart to the
connectors of your vehicle. If this connection is
impossible, you have to obtain an ISO adapter
before installing the Parrot ASTEROID Smart.
Refer to the Vehicle compatibility section on
the Parrot ASTEROID Smart support page for
more information.
Compare the Parrot ASTEROID Smart antenna
connector to the antenna connector of your
vehicle. If an adapter is necessary, contact your

13English
local car audio specialist.
Note : Make sure you also supply power to your
antenna if it is amplified. Power to the antenna
can be supplied using the Parrot ASTEROID
Smart ISO cable.
Installation using the holder
1. Loosen the 4 screws to remove the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart holder.
2. Insert the holder into the dashboard. To do
so, bend the tabs 90 degrees (diagram A p.7)

depending on the model of your vehicle.
Onlyuse the providedscrews.
Installing the GPS receiver
Stickthe GPS receiver in an unobstructed area
inside the car.
Athermic windshields and windows with a
built-in antenna can interfere with GPS
reception and reduce the reliability of
information from navigation applications.
The GPS receiver antennais located
on the side where "Parrot
ASTEROID GPS" is written and
where the star-shaped logo is. This
logo must always be directed
towards the sky.
If your vehicle has an athermicwindshield, stick
the GPS receiver on the windshield on the non
athermicarea. The side where the star-shaped
logo is must be stuck on the windshield
(diagram F p.9).
Note : The non athermic area of the windshield
depends on the model of your vehicle. It is
usually located near the rear view mirror.
If your vehicle does not have an athermic
windshield, stick the GPS receiver on the
dashboard. The side where the star-shaped
logois must be visible (diagramE p.9).
To make sure the adhesive tape adheres well :
use the provided adhesive tape ;
clean the areawith an appropriate cleaning
product before sticking the support ;
once you have stuck the support on the
dashboard, wait for approximately 2 hours
without handling it.
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 parkingbrake signal
cable usingasuitable method.

14 English
Warning: An improper connection or use of this
cable isdangerousand 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
existingmanufacture’s wiringlooms securingas
you gomakingsure 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 asairbags and other SRS systems.
ISO cable connection
Connect the audio and power connectors of the
Parrot ASTEROID Smart to the ones of your
vehicle.
Note: Use the provided cable ties to make sure
the cablesare well fixed to the car stereo. Insert
one of the cable ties into the slots in the top of
the back of the car stereo (refer to the diagram
p.4).
Once the connections are made, check your
installation. To do so, turn the ignition on then
off. The "Goodbye" message must be
displayed. If it is not the case, it is necessary to
swapthe 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 12Vand the black wire to
the ground. This can be done simply by
reversing both bullet connectors located on the
Parrot wiring.
Installing the USB cables
Connect the USB cables to the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart. We recommend you
connect all audio cables to the Parrot
ASTEROID Smart 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.
The USB cable (1.2m - 2A) to which you will
connect the USB / iPod cable extension must
be connected to its specific white USB port.
"iPod" is written above it.
To guarantee an optimal reception quality we
recommend you do not connect your internet
USB key 3G on the Parrot ASTEROID Smart
directly : use the USB cable to install your
