Installation
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. 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 wiring
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 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 unplugging and swapping the cables located on the Parrot wiring
(connection

).
Installation with external amplifier
If your vehicle is equipped with an amplifier :
Install the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet using 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 Tablet Line out outputs to your vehicle audio system.
Deactivate the Mute on streaming option on the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet. To do
so, select
Settings > Sound,
and uncheck the
Mute on streaming
option.
Select the Auxiliary input on your car stereo to listen to music.
