Parrot ASTEROID Smart: Apps, Navigation, Video, Music and Hands-Free Telephony

With its wide 6.2 inch colour multi-touch screen, the Parrot ASTEROID Smart is a multimedia car head unit with the capability of connecting to the Internet.

Its Double DIN size fits perfectly into the dashboard in many vehicles and its lack of CD/DVD mech makes the unit shallow enough to fit in some vehicles where space is at a premium.

Control of the menus of the Parrot ASTEROID Smart is via the capacitive touch screen, and like the ASTEROID Tablet broadly follows the menu structure that many people find familiar from using ANDROID based Smartphones.
   

Equipped with a GPS antenna, the Parrot ASTEROID Smart includes a complete on-board navigation system from the box – so unlike the Tablet, no download is needed. The product comes with iGo Primo Satnav, but users can decide to download any of the other three brands of Satnav to use instead should they prefer (additional charges may apply).

Numerous applications adapted to the size of the screen of the Parrot ASTEROID Smart and to its specific functionalities are downloadable on the ASTEROID Market via 3G, 4G key, by tethering from a Smart phone or tablet or connecting to a Wi-Fi network. Applications available include radios and podcasts, music streaming from all over the world; driving assistance solution; tourist information…

ASTEROID Smart allows a high level of integration with many vehicles. It is equipped with a wide range of connectors including 3 RCA, front rear and sub , 1 video input & 1 video output making it easy to integrate with other vehicle accessories such as rear cameras, a rear seat AV system, hard-drive with music or CD/DVD player. In addition steering wheel controls are available for many vehicle brands and models giving the unit a distinctly OEM feel.
