Ab out this gu id e
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 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 & Downloads secti
on of our websi te , www.
parrot.com: the full manual, FAQs, tutorials, and more.
Note: iPod and iPhone (in iPodmode) will be referred
to as an "iPod" in this
manual .
Software updates
Download the latest update for free (and check the
update procedure) on our website www.parrot
.c om, in
the Support & Downloads section. These updates will
enable you
to receive new features and improve the
product's compatibility.
Wa rn in gs
• All functions requiring an increased attent ion
should only be used while the vehicle is
stationary. Your safety and the one
of the other
road users prevails over phone calls, music and
navigation instructions.
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 with a reasonable
volume level
so that you can hear all external
noises while driving.
• The Parrot ASTEROID includes
NdFeB magnets
which can damage objects sensitive to magnetic
fields (pacemakers, credit cards, mechanical
clocks...
).
Stee r ing wh ee l control interface
A steering wheel control interface can be used to
connect your vehicle's steering wheel
co ntrols to your
Parrot car stereo. With
th is in terface (available in
second half of 2011 ), 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.

Installation
Note: We advise our customers to have the Parrot
ASTEROID
fitted bya professional.
S af e ty 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...
).
Be for e you beg in
• 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 sta lling th e car st er eo
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.
4. Check the wiring
(as explained in the Final check
section).
5. Install the audio cables (as explained in the
Installing the cables section).
6. Install the double microphone (as explained in the
Installing the microphone section)
7. Slide the car stereo into the Parrot ASTEROID
cage and install the faceplate.
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 s talling th e ca bl 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).
Insta lling the mi cr op hon e
• 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 locati on for
the microphone is near the rear-view mirror.
• The microphone needs
to be pointed towards the
user.
Basic
ope r ation s
• To remove the faceplate, press the eject button
on its left. Place the faceplate into the provided
carrying case

Before you begin
Software updates
Download the latest update for free (and check the update procedure) on our website. These
updates will enable you to receive new features and improve the product’s compatibility.
Warnings
All functions requiring an increased attention should only be used while the vehicle is stationary.
Your safety and the one of the other road users prevails over phone calls, music and navigation
instructions. 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 with a reasonable volume level so that you can hear all external noises
while driving.
The Parrot ASTEROID includes NdFeB magnets which can damage objects sensitive to magnetic
fields (pacemakers, credit cards, mechanical clocks…).
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 (available in second half of 2011), 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.

5Before you begin
Installation
Note: We advise our customers to have the Parrot ASTEROID fitted by a professional.
Safety instructions
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 begin
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.
Parrot ASTEROID antenna connector

6 Installation
Example of antenna adaptor -DIN / Fakra (not provided)
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.
Installing the car stereo
1. Insert the cage and fix it into the dashboard using the bracket mounting tab.
2. Pull audio and power cables of the vehicle to the outside of the dashboard, through the
mounting bracket.
3. Connect the audio and power connectors of the Parrot ASTEROID to the ones of your vehicle.
4. Check the wiring (as explained in the Final check section).
5. Install the audio cables (as explained in the Installing the cables section).
6. Install the double microphone (as explained in the Installing the microphone section)
7. Slide the car stereo into the Parrot ASTEROID cage and install the faceplate.
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.

7Installation
Installing the cables
Connect the iPod / iPhone®, USB, Jack cables and the GPS Antenna 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 / iPhone cable to its specific USB port. "iPod" is written above
it.
Use the double-sided tape to stick the GPS Antenna 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 microphone
We recommend that you slide the cable into the groove
behind the door seal.
If the cable runs above the pedals, ensure that it is
properly secured.
Warning: Do not run the microphone cable through the heating, ventilation or air conditioning
systems or in front of the side airbags.
Make sure the microphone is installed as close to the mouth of the user as possible. The ideal
distance is 60 cm. The best possible location for the microphone is near the rear-view mirror.
The microphone needs to be pointed towards the user.

8 Installation
Installing the GPS antenna
Install the GPS Antenna in an unobstructed area.
Clean the dashboard, then use the adhesive located on the back of the GPS Antenna to attach it
to the dashboard. Then wait for approximately 2 hours without handling the dongle to ensure that
it adheres properly.
Athermic windshields and windows with a built-in antenna can interfere with GPS reception and
reduce the reliability of information from navigation applications.
Basic operations
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.
To attach the faceplate, put it on the right side of the car stereo. Once the faceplate and the car
stereo magnets connect, press the left side.
To remove the car stereo from the dashboard, insert the provided extraction key until they click
into place.
