About this guide

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 Mini 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 section of our website, www.parrot.com: the full manual, FAQs, tutorials, and more.

Note: iPod® and iPhone® (in iPod mode) will be referred to as an "iPod" in this

13English

manual.

Software updates

Download the latest update for free (and consult the update procedure) on the Parrot ASTEROID Mini support page on our website www.pa rrot.com. 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 driving assistance

14 English

applications. 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 Mini with a reasonable volume level so that you can hear all external noises while driving.

The Parrot ASTEROID Mini includes NdFeB magnets which can damage objects sensitive to magnetic fields (pacemakers, credit cards, mechanical clocks…).

Installation

Note: We advise our customers to have the Parrot ASTEROID Mini fitted by a certified Parrot installer.

Before you begin

Installing the Parrot ASTEROID Mini is done by inserting it between the car stereo and the vehicle.

Note: If your car stereo is not fitted with ISO connectors, you need to purchase an ISO adapter cable to simplify the wiring procedure. Refer to the Vehicle compatibility section on the Parrot ASTEROID Mini support page to check whether an ISO adapter is necessary on your

vehicle.

Start by removing the car stereo from your vehicle. You may need release keys to do so.

Refer to your car stereo’s wiring diagram. Before you install the individual

components, check that the installation locations have been selected in such a way that the cable length is sufficient to connect every element. Once the installation is complete, make sure that no cables are pinched or trapped.

The connection number indications in the next sections correspond to the connections represented on the diagrams p.6 / 7.

Connecting the audio cable

Join the vehicle audio cable to the connector of the Parrot ASTEROID Mini (Connections 1A and 2).

If your vehicle is equipped with an amplifier, use the Front and Rear Line Out outputs on the electronic box to avoid saturation problems such as popping in the speakers, background noise etc. Use one or two jack cable(s) to connect the Parrot ASTEROID Mini Line out outputs to your vehicle audio system (Connection 1B on the diagram p. 7).

Connecting the power cable

Unplug the battery before installing

1. the power cable.

Connect the ISO male connectors of

2. the Parrot ASTEROID Mini to the car stereo (Connection 3).

Join the vehicle’s power supply cable

3. to the ISO female connector of the Parrot ASTEROID Mini (Connection

4).

The red wire of the Parrot ASTEROID Mini cable must correspond to the constant +12V supply, the orange wire to the ignition +12V and the black wire to ground. Check that the orange wire is not connected to the constant +12V supply, as

15English

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

16 English

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

(connection 7).

The GPS Dongle antenna is located on the side where "Parrot ASTEROID GPS" is written and where the starshaped logo is. This logo must always be directed towards the sky.

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 antenna

Stick the GPS Antenna 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.

If your vehicle has an athermic windshield, stick the GPS dongle 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.

17English

If your vehicle does not have an athermic windshield, stick the GPS dongle on the dashboard. The side where the starshaped logo is must be visible (diagram A p.8).

To make sure the adhesive tape adheres well :

clean the area with an appropriate cleaning product before sticking the support ;

once you have stuck the support on the dashboard, wait for approximately 2 hours without handling it.

18 English

Installing the USB cables

Connect the USB cables to the Parrot ASTEROID Mini. We recommend you connect all audio cables to the Parrot ASTEROID Mini 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 cable to its specific 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 Mini directly : use the USB cable to install your device on the dashboard (or any other open area).

Installing the screen

Warning: Avoid any installation which could hinder the use of any important command or hinder the driver's visibility. Do not install the Parrot ASTEROID Mini in the airbag deployment area or in a possible head impact area. Make sure it is not exposed to the air stream from air vents.

Stick the support on the dashboard (diagram C p.10).

To make sure the adhesive tape adheres well :

clean the area with an appropriate cleaning product before sticking the support ;

once you have stuck the support on the dashboard, wait for approximately 2 hours without handling it.

Remember to remove your screen when leaving the vehicle to avoid tempting any would-be thieves and to prevent prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Installing the remote control

Stick the remote control support on your dashboard. To do so, use the adhesive tape located under the support.

To make sure the adhesive tape adheres

well :

clean the area with an appropriate cleaning product before sticking the support ;

once you have stuck the support on the dashboard, wait for approximately 2 hours without handling it.

There are two ways to supply power to the remote control : with a battery or by connecting it to the electronic box.

To supply power with a battery (diagram D p.11) :

Remove the circular plastic part on

1. the back of the remote by turning it clockwise.

Insert a 3V CR2032 battery into the

2. remote control. Make sure the battery is correctly positioned.

Put the circular plastic part back by

3. turning it counterclockwise.

To connect the remote control to the electronic box (diagram D p.11) :

Remove the circular plastic part on

1. the back of the remote by turning it clockwise.

Connect the remote control cable

2. into the battery compartment and turn it counterclockwise.
