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
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
15 English
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.
Use only the ISO cable provided with the
Parrot ASTEROID Mini.
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
1. Unplug the battery before installing
the power cable.
2. Connect the ISO male connectors of
the Parrot ASTEROID Mini to the car
stereo (Connection
3).
3. Join the vehicle’s power supply cable
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
