Try to connect the audio and power connectors
of the Parrot ASTEROID to the connectors of
y our v ehicle. If this connection is impossible,
y ou hav e to obtain an ISO adapter bef ore

Compare the Parrot ASTEROID antenna
connector to the antenna connector of y our

local car audio specialist. Make sure y ou also

Final check
Once all the connections are made, turn the
ignition on then off to perform the installation
test. The "Goodby e" message must be
display ed.
If it is not the case, it is necessary to swap the
positions of the red and y ellow 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 rev ersing both f use holders
located on the Parrot wiring.
Installing the cables
Connect the iPod / iPhone®, USB, Jack cables
and the GPS dongle to the Parrot ASTEROID.
We recommend y ou connect all audio cables to
the Parrot ASTEROID even if y ou do not plan on
using them. Route the audio cables to a suitable
location in your v ehicle such as the glov e box or
arm rest compartment. It may be necessary to
drill a hole in y our dashboard to do so. Avoid
using USB extension cables.
Make sure y ou connect the iPod / iPhone cable
to its specific USB port. "iPod" is written abov e
it.
Use the double-sided tape to stick the GPS
dongle to y our dashboard. Once y ou hav e stuck
the dongle to the dashboard, wait f or
approximately 2 hours to make sure the
adhesive tape adheres well.
To guarantee an optimal reception quality we
recommend y ou do not connect y our internet
USB key 3G on the Parrot ASTEROID directly :
use the USB cable to install y our dev ice on the
dashboard (or any other open area).
Use the provided cable ties to make sure the
cables are well f ixed to the car stereo. Insert one
of the cable ties into the slot in the top left of
the back of the car stereo (ref er to the diagram).
