Review: Parrot Asteroid Smart in-dash head unit with navigation and app support

Google launched the Open Automotive Alliance in January to put Android in your dashboard to control your phone, just like Apple announced CarPlay as a system to control your iOS device. Parrot's Asteroid Smart doesn't participate in either of these...

Top-notch handsfree audio quality ; Ability to load good navigation apps (Waze, Tom Tom) ; Works with iPhone

Inconsistent interface ; iGo navigation ; Lack of hardware volume/Siri control ; Poor Cable management (GPS, USB, USB, iPhone, MicroUSB, microphone...)

As it comes out-of-the-box, the Asteroid Smart is a very competent aftermarket handsfree and navigation system, ideal for a car that doesn't have handsfree or aux-in for music, and good navigation via the Asteroid Market. Like all third party radios,...

Firmware update broke steering wheel controls ; Pricey ; Lack of apps

If you are looking for a smart option for in-car entertainment that allows you to get and stay connected to the internet while driving, this is a decent option. It's pricey and you may find elements slightly underwhelming, but the Smart has lots of...

Review: Parrot Asteroid SMART

The advent of the connected car is upon us. Apple's CarPlay and Google's Open Automotive Alliance are both major platforms that integrate existing smartphone technology with in-car entertainment, navigation, Internet access and even applications.

The hardware is top notch and the software continues to be improved on a regular basis, this makes the Parrot Asteroid Smart a viable integrated in-car solution for users today.
