Parrot Asteroid Smart Nav setup

Hello All,

Just wanted to field some opinions on this in-dash nav system. I'm riding a completely stock 2013 FR-S and my hopes is to put a navigation system that is running Android so I can leverage apps like Spotify/Waze.

My hopes is to also include some car computer metrics from an OBD sensor utilizing the following app:

Does anyone have an experience with the Parrot and is there a competing product that includes nav, Spotify(Paid subscriber and love it) and OBD functionality. My hopes is that the OBD Torque Pro app will show me how many miles until empty and error codes if I ever receive them.


Product for reference:

I have one installed. I like it, but it can be buggy at times. Definitely not as polished a product as most would like but it does the job.

Have you updated to the latest firmware? ...mine is always been stable. Regardless of being a slow CPU and way to old version of android. It does what's it's suppose to do. To the OP audio is way better than stock. Using Sygic and TomTom for Navi. I-Go primo that comes with it is good but lacks TTS.

TIP: root it when you get it... it makes the whole experience better. Just install the file from this link and your rooted. I have PlayStore & Google Maps also running on mine. Oh and of course Torque app. is awesome.

I am running the latest firmware. I'm having issues with loss of audio out and having to hard reboot. Happens once or twice a week. Parrot has been useless for support. I'm happy with the hardware, but stock Android would be a huge improvement.
