you could run down the vehicle’s battery.
Note: In order to check the wiring, connect
the screen before placing it on the
dashboard. Refer to the Checking the wiring
section for more information.
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 Mini
(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).
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.
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.
Checking the wiring
To perform the installation check, turn the
ignition on then off once the Parrot
ASTEROID Mini 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 reversing both
fuse holders located on the Parrot wiring

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 existing 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 GPS receiver
Stick the 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 antenna is 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 athermic windshield,
stick the GPS Receiver on the windshield
on the non athermic area. The side where
the star-shaped logo is must be stuck on
the windshield (diagram B 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
