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 Tablet (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).
Connecting the parking brake cable
The parking brake cable allows you to use the
video function of the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet
when the parking brake is engaged. If this cable is
not connected to the vehicle parking brake signal
cable, the video function will never be available
(diagram A p.8).
Connect the provided extension lead to the
Parrot ASTEROID Tablet green parking brake
cable.
1. Locate the parking brake signal cable of your

2. Install the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet parking
brake extension lead and the parking brake
signal cable on the provided crimp connector.
3. Fold the crimp connector twice (diagram A
p.8).
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. Ensure that sufficient space is provided
around the heat sink of the product to ease heat
removal.
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.
Warning : Do not touch the electronic box while in
operation. Its surface temperature can be high.
Checking the wiring
To perform the installation check, turn the
ignition on then off once the Parrot ASTEROID
Tablet 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 7)
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
manufacture's wiring looms securing as you go
making sure 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 as airbags and
other SRS systems.
Installing the USB cables
Connect the USB cables to the Parrot ASTEROID
Tablet. We recommend you connect all audio
cables to the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet even if you
existing
