Warning: An improper connection or use of this
cable is dangerous and 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
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.
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 cables are 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
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 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
device on the dashboard (or any other open
area).
Basic operations
The Parrot ASTEROID Smart faceplate can be
