Installation
Before you begin
Note: We advise our customers to have the Parrot
ASTEROID Tablet fitted by a certified Parrot
installer.
Installing the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet is done by
inserting it betw een 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 Tablet 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 w iring diagram.
Before you install the individual components,
check that the installation locations have been
selected in such a w ay 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 Tablet (Connections 1A
and 2).
If your vehicle is equipped w ith 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 tw o jack cable(s) to connect the
Parrot ASTEROID Tablet Line out outputs to your
vehicle audio system (diagram p.7).
Connecting the pow er cable
1. Unplug the battery before installing the
pow er cable.
2. Connect the ISO male connectors of the
Parrot ASTEROID Tablet to the car stereo
(Connection 3).
3. Join the vehicle’s pow er supply cable to the
ISO female connector of the Parrot
ASTEROID Tablet (Connection 4).
The red w ire of the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet
cable must correspond to the constant +12V
supply, the orange w ire to the ignition +12V and
15 English 15
the black w ire to ground. Check that the orange
w ire is not connected to the constant +12V
supply, as you could run dow n 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 pow er supply w ire to the
fuse box or another ignition pow er 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 w ire on the
ISO cable to the audio system’s corresponding
mute-in jack (connection 5).
Connecting the hand brake cable
The parking brake cable allow s you to use the
video function of the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet
w hen the parking brake is engaged. If this cable
is not connected to the vehicle parking brake
signal cable, the video function w ill never be
available (diagram A p.8).
1. Connect the provided extension lead to the
Parrot ASTEROID Tablet green parking
brake cable.
2. Locate the parking brake signal cable of
your vehicle.
3. Install the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet parking
brake extension lead and the parking brake
signal cable on the provided crimp
connector.
4. Fold the crimp connector tw ice (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 w ill not move w hile 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 w iring
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 w ires. Indeed,
the red w ire of the pow er cable must be
connected to the permanent 12V, the orange
w ire to the 12V ignition and the black w ire to the
ground. This can be done simply by reversing
both fuse holders located on the Parrot w iring
(connection 7).
