Parrot Android HU?

Stumbled onto this, looks impressive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHarPoNRqGY http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/b...arrot-asteroid Based on my experience with Android tablets, I think I may go for the Parrot. I had been looking for a Becker unit with Bluetooth, but this looks like a way better value and actually suits the interior of the CLK55 stylishly. The Dension and other D2B options come up a little short of my requirements. Really not impressed with the JVC/Alpine units with the stupid video game neon graphic animations and junk. Going to start documenting wiring/instal reqs. for the Parrot this Friday. Anyone try this unit yet in W208 chassis?

Still have some wiring cleanup to do, but was essentially plug and play. Included harness is ISO, A Y connect/bridge and move a pin, and pretty much done, except for line-level adapter.




No CANBUS to steering wheel yet, but the Asteroid supports voice commands, GPS, and Internet via Bluetooth/dongle, and SD card slot in front, plus iPod integration. And at 1/2 the depth of other head units I've seen.

To maintain a clean install, I ran the USB GPS pod cable into the glove box and nested it on the left side panel there. Ran the mic up above the drivers side visor, and the USB/iPod/Line in under the ashtray.

Gonna load some trax up on an SD card to try out next, but the bluetooth streaming works great, and with the line adapter, the sound quality and use of the oem subs works fine also.
