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, you...

Parrot is offering a double-DIN infotainment upgrade for those of us with older cars, or even newer cars lacking factory navigation. It does suffer at the hand of some hard-to-overlook annoyances. The inability to resume music playback where you left off ...
The Parrot Asteroid Smart navigation system feeds Internet connectivity, navigation, mobile apps, digital-media playback, and hands-free calling through a good-looking touch-screen display. Those already familiar with Android will need no learning period
The Asteroid Market offers only nine apps in the U.S. at launch, only about half of which are really interesting
The Parrot Asteroid Smart is a smartly designed and flexible multimedia receiver that hangs its hat on an app market that, for now, doesn't offer much choice.
As with any technical device that's engineered to save time, or make your life easier, the proof is in whether it actually delivers on the promise. So very many don't, and you find yourself with something that's a compromise at best, and a waste of money ...

Being powered by the Android OS means that the Parrot Asteroid can download and run apps. Parrot's hands-free calling system is one of the best in the business. Digital media on USB-connected mass storage devices, iPods, and SD cards can be voice-controll
Getting the Asteroid connected to the Internet requires a USB wireless 3G dongle, not provided. Only Parrot-approved apps are supported and many of the launch apps, particularly Maps, are not very compelling or useful
The Parrot Asteroid falls a bit short on delivering the Internet and a rich app experience in the car, but it's still a solid receiver for users looking to add great digital audio connectivity and a top-tier hands-free calling experience to any vehicle....

Firmware update broke steering wheel controls, Pricey, Lack of apps
But when all is said and done, 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. Sure, you'll pay for the experience and you may find elements ...
Abstract: I might, again, be speaking for myself alone but when I'm in the car, I find it's oddly different. Maybe it's just because you can't get internet radio in the car, but I have a longstanding desire to be able to drive around in LA or Sydney listening to Ra...
Antes de pasar a comentar nuestras impresiones hay que dejar clara una cosa. Nos parece fundamental el uso de manos libres en el coche. Las razones son tan evidentes que no es necesario repetirlas. Pero lo que nos ha gustado en el Asteroid Tablet de Parr...

Abstract: Un manos libres con Android. Eso es lo que propone la francesa Parrot con este Parrot ASTEROID. Estamos ante una autorradio que incorpora todos los avances (conexiones USB, compatibilidad nativa con iPad, iPhone y iPod, lector de tarjetas, Bluetooth…) ...
