Yes, the device works with a 32GB SDHC Class 10 card. I have one myself. You will lose the ability to use the igo app that comes with the unit. The maps for igo are tied to the original card. There is no way that I know of to replace the serial number on a new card.

What launchers is everyone using?

Right now I am using Smart Launcher by GinLemon with the JARVIS theme but its not the greatest. It works well... but the clock seems to be cut off randomly.
[Android General] devoidx:
anyone else kinda bored with their asteroid PAS? lol
[Android General] LAYGO:
Nope, but I can't wait for the next version already. I'm sick of the lag! I want some beefy processor & lots of ram in the next gen . . .
[Android General] the-unknown:
Yes that would be very nice. I'd buy it directly
[Android General] kronikings:
Totally satisfied with mine to be honest... The next version I'm sure will be a lot more satisfying but this one is still great for what I use it for, Spotify, escort live, navigation, dish network, tunein radio, etc..
[Android General] Taomyn:
Totally agree :good:
[Android General] tbd@immigrantsong.de:
Yes, but that's good. I wanted a device that would not need my attention and just work and doesn't distract from driving.

Nonetheless, a new, more powerful device would be great, but just maybe not my top priority.
[Android General] devoidx:
I wonder why the support team wouldn't update their ROM to kitkat ..it is optimized for older android units and it would let us use so many more apps including google's navigation which has improved significantly from the crappy versions that we can put on our PAS.
[Android General] 0space_monkey0:
Unless we have an unlocked bootloader (not sure haven't been here in awhile), No one could try a port.
[Android General] kronikings:
That's correct. We have no roms because we have no unlocked bootloader.
[Android General] devoidx:
That's why I said the support team ...as in Asteroid's original developers to update their OS to kitkat

Launcher

I am using ADW launcher. I started with a theme(not sure what it was called) then made some changes especially with font size and app size. I am also running Beautiful Widgets.

I'm running ADW too and it's pretty customizable. Weather looks nice, are you in Nebraska?

Chromecast

If I buy Chromecast for our asteroid, you say that it works, the screen is mirrored (recently introduced on Chromecast) and video playback?

P.S: I hope that the agreement of google with automaker ports soon to have good aftermarket car stereos with upgrades such as for mobile
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Err one issue you might find is the lack of HDMI connector.....

However there's HDMI to Composite adaptors available that work, I use one with a MHL adaptor connected to my phone to get round the lack of power that the head unit has, its a reasonable solution.
[Android General] dragonredeye:
but the input with the symbol of the laptop is not a mini-HDMI input?

PS: what lies between the input of steering wheel controls and USB ports
[Android General] nojkepop:
Yup living "the good life".

Workaround for iPod Classic 4th Gen?

Forgive me for cross-posting this, but I've had no reply from the official Parrot forum and no reply from Parrot Support:

Using the dedicated iPod USB port, my Parrot Asteroid Smart recognizes my wife's iPod Mini but does not find my iPod Classic 4th generation.

I load my iPod Classic with audio books for travel. I'd (obviously) rather not have to buy a replacement for my Classic, since it works fine otherwise.

Is there any way to get it to work with the Parrot Asteroid Smart?

I can hear my iPod's audio content by using the audio Line In port on the Asteroid Smart so the iPod is functioning properly and it is fully charged.

Thanks!

Made a Boot animation for Mercedes.

It lasts about 10 seconds.

It is based on this video

I do not know ... I hate Apple :angel:

I'm using Ulysse Speedometer and loving it. Great util that also does most launcher functions I require and a much better starting point than any other launcher imho of course :)
[Android General] Justdoit2u:
Nope its a mini USB port for debugging apparently I'm afraid.

[Android General] CocZamudio:
For those in the same boat ...

... Parrot Support finally responded: "That particular iPod [Classic 4th generation] is not compatible with the Asteroid line of products for audio playback over the 30 pin dock connector."
[Android General] JLPDA:
Looking to buy one (cheap, if possible). FYI, Santa Clarita AutoSound doesn't have them in stock anymore and isn't offering them any longer at this price.

[Android General] the-unknown:
Or a holden?[emoji4] I tried a bootanimation by myself but it was terrible
[Android General] dragonredeye:
I made the root and everything is working properly, even asteroid tweak has done its job properly, but now after installing all the google services and the market, the market opens loads the app but as soon as I make downloading an app goes crash and then does not work ... you have suggestions? Google maps works and looks also the service account

No

the bootanimation file that I created does not work ... I will try again and will post the working version after... maybe I'm wrong resolution
[Android General] horn34:
I sent you a PM earlier, hopefully you got in when Amazon dropped the price to $450 this afternoon (it's back up to $510 now).
[Android General] JLPDA:
Damn, missed your PM and $450 Amazon pricing. Thanx for the heads up. Looks like Best Buy will match almost any internet pricing that I can find.
[Android General] ThomasLandberg:
Two questions:

- Is it possible to get rid of the small "dip" in the sound level when I adjust the volume? When I turn up or down the volume is lower for a second and then hit the requested level.

- Is it possible to change how long the Smart stay "on"? When I turn off the ignition and turn it on again the Smart is very fast rebooted but overnight it is "forgotten" and it takes more time to reboot. Is it possible to change how many minutes/hours it will stay alert? Maybe with Asteroid Tweaker?

Thanks :)
[Android General] tbd@immigrantsong.de:
- I have never observed such a dip except when running my navigation app (TomTom). In this case the dip is caused by the navigation app taking control over the volume

- You can adjust the standby time with Asteroid Tweaker. A time of 30 minutes to one hour is OK, but don't try 24 hours or longer because your battery will be dead when you come back. The Asteroid consumes considerably more current in standby than off.

2007 Pathfinder OBDII / ELM327 1.5?

Hi All!

I have had a Asteroid Smart since they came out and I really love it. Would like to add on torque pro to see vehicle vitals. There are a few different ones on amazon. A wifi one and a bluetooth one. ELM327 v1.5 is the one that lots of ppl have talked about just not sure if that's the best route. Anyone have any experience with this on a Pathy before? If so which one did you end up getting?

Thanks!
[Android General] Taomyn:
I've used one of the cheap BT ones and it works fine, but I'm going to stump up for a better one that supports power saving, otherwise I have to keep remembering to unplug/plug it. I know the USB ones are meant to be better, but I didn't want the extra cabling all over the place (my socket is at the base of the steering wheel facing my legs).

Hi everyone,

Have been keeping upto date with this thread and have done many of the hacks to turn this into a decent unit. Quick question. My GPS antenna seems to have failed as i have seen this is a common problem. Where is everyone getting their USB replacements?

Thanks

Replacement USB GPS Antenna for the Asteroid Smart

Hi,

It seems this one will work: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008200LHW

BTW, where did you located your GPS antenna? I placed mine under the dash, on top of the PAS unit and it works just fine. I'm afraid what causes these antennas to die is the heat they're exposed to when they are installed directly to the widnshield.
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Thanks for the reply. I mounted mine under the vents on the dash itself. Makes no sense because it died all of a sudden when it was being stored undercover
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
While i'm on the subject,

I saw a while ago there was a USB rotary volume control that works with this unit. I have not been able to find it ever since then though as they were sold out. Has anyone else been able to source a working unit and where from?

Cheers!

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Actually. Looks like they may be back in stock at the Fusion store direct. Wish me luck lol
[Android General] yellowdragon:
Good luck! Please let us know if it works as I'm considering installing one too. :)
[Android General] nojkepop:
Can confirm these work great for volume control. Though, the push button mute is not supported by Gingerbread. There was another member on this forum who made an app that would enable it but the app has to be running for it to work. Kind of wished it was as simple as editing the keyboard file but I don't it is.
[Android General] yellowdragon:
Thanks! I've noticed Amazon have these every now and then... Now the waiting game begins... :)
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Honestly i would grab it from here while it is available. Couldn't find them for ages

How does the BT pairing and handsfree work?

Is it possible to extract the BT stack that enables BT speakerphone on the device? I'd like to implement that feature on another Android deveice, but vanilla Android does not provide the feature. :/
[Android General] yellowdragon:
Saw this in the UK forum... Guess the US version is not too far behind...

A new software version 2.3.38.03 is now available from the Parrot Website for the ASTEROID Smart http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/parrot-asteroid-smart
[Android General] nojkepop:
Been waiting so long for this. Downloading now will report back on root status...

UPDATE: I have downloaded it twice and tried installing 3 times. Every time is finds the update and says its installing but once it reboots I am still running 2.1.9 I don't think the US version of the update has been changed on the website. The new firmware is only available on the UK version of the support website.
[Android General] Bikegeek:
I believe us US people can use the UK version which works fine for me in the US. Not sure if I want the distraction of my texts coming up on the Parrot though...... Ran Framaroot after, checked Su and it's OK.
[Android General] nojkepop:
Is there any differences from the US version to the UK version? Any risk of installing this instead of waiting?

Well I should have waited. The update installed fine but it it performed a fresh install. All my apps and customization are gone....
[Android General] rhconcepts:
This info can't be right. I have been messing with videos for this deck for 3 mos now. I have it working using mp4-h264 format from the sd card only. How does it see videos from a USB stick? I tried vlc but that makes all the videos skip and break up so not sure why they have that on the market. I want to play .avi videos so the audio is synced with the video, but not having any luck.

I have a few videos cropped and converted to 720*480 and they look great. I'll upload them land share if you guys want them.

But if your playing videos with vlc from USB please let me know I could sure use some help.
[Android General] nojkepop:
The new update is what allows this to work.
[Android General] Bikegeek:
New app - Messaging - you can turn off the SMS service so texts don't pop up on the screen. I seem to have lost my swc for some reason. I've been running Diceplayer and using the Asteroid Tweaker app to set the mnt folder for videos with no problem for a long time.

Update - Re-loaded the 2.3 UK and SWC is back. Something to keep an eye on I guess.
[Android General] Cyberflow:
So i've just installed for the first time a Parrot Asteroid Smart on my CRV 2002.

Works proprely, except for the hand brake and reverse gear, i didnt had no wire to connect it on the car harness.

Now i always get message's that the car isnt parked when i try to use some apps.

Anything i can do to "bypass" this ?

And for a hard drive, i used an external WD Passport (1to) hard drive and it didnt seem to work.

I didnt plug it on the iPhone (5volt) usb port, does it matter ?
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Ground the reverse cable. That's it
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
I have updated to the latest version and naturally Market no longer works. Have done framaroot and SU again and still nothing. Any ideas?
[Android General] Taomyn:
You need to restore Google Framework. I have a Titanium Backup of it so every time I upgrade I just restore it after regaining root.

Anything on the system volume is wiped on an upgrade that's why it's gone.
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
Been quite a while since i have messed with this unit. How do i do that again? Cheers
[Android General] Taomyn:
Get GApps for Android 2.3.7, extract the APK (I forget the actual name), put into into the system, change the permission and reboot. Search this thread as it's talked about often.
[Android General] Cyberflow:
Hey hi and thank you,

Isnt it more logical to ground the parking wire ?

The reverse wire wont like enable rear camera feature ?
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
That's what i meant lol

Quick update:

My Globalsat GPS receiver arrived today to replace my parrot one which has failed. Worked straight away and much more faster and accurate than the Parrot unit. Pretty happy with that. Also have one of the Fusion USB volume controls on the way which i will install. Hopefully all good with that. Only thing that is bugging me is getting Google Play to work properly on the new version of firmware. Opens and runs but closes when i download something. Get there eventually i guess. Along with the new firmware and the Android tweaker app, it is finally running how it was supposed to out of the box

i did it using the app Root Explorer v3.1.9.apk (you can find it in the end of this post)

BTW in the asteroid smart which launcher works better?? trying to find the cleanest one and most stable one, i would just like to install a weather widget.

thanks
[Android General] sweeetcopcar69:
I can change permissions already but the boxes just clear themselves. It is not saving the permission changes and that is my issue. As for launcher. I have tried a few, i find it works best without one. Too resource hungry

Steering Wheel Controls Help

I just installed my ASWC1 and almost everything works with the exception of the raise to talk button and hang up, I have an Impala 2012

anybody else has had this issue, is there a way to program them within the ASWC1 or the Headunit???

Also has anyone created an animation for Chevrolet if so can you share?
[Android General] tbd@immigrantsong.de:
Note, there is an update to the update online - version 2.3.38.06. Fixes an issue with steering wheel controls.

There is also an update to Asteroid Tweaker - version 2.3, as the old version is incompatible with the Asteroid update.

I will wait another day to see if the new version has new bugs before updating.
[Android General] Taomyn:
Is that a particular country as UK shows 2.3.38.06
[Android General] nojkepop:
They haven't released the US version yet. The UK version will work fine on a US Stereo but when I installed it, it did a fresh install and I had to reinstall all my apps...
[Android General] breakthestatic:
I saw on the parrot forums that some locale settings didn't work. Have you noticed anything with timezones, radio frequencies, etc... that didn't work? I was tempted to do this, but it's been quite a few days since the UK release, that I feel the US version should be coming pretty soon... In fact, I think about half the countries already have the update.
[Android General] nojkepop:
I honestly haven't noticed many differences. The default voice is a British accent, easy to change in the voice settings. Time zone was off and some things are spelled the European way(not sure what you call this). Thats about all I have noticed.

If you do decide to install the update and run into issues you can always downgrade to the current update for the US. I have so much customization that it was a real pain but haven't had any real issues. I ended up reinstalling it twice but that was due to an issue with Farmaroot. I ended up downloading an older version to get it to root. The only other thing was some random issue with Pandora restarting/closing randomly. I reinstalled the app and it seems better but I've haven't tested it long enough to be sure.

As far as recommending others install it. The improvements are alright nothing groundbreaking. The screen off with the power button is nice at night time. The text message feature is nice but clunky...requires toasto much user interaction. Voice answering calls is awesome but I always forget to do it. I feel 3rd party apps take better advantage of the GPS. Overall the system isn't faster but I have a ton of 3rd party applications and widgets installed.

There is also apparently a new Widget in the Asteroid Market that I am eager to try but just found out about it. http://forum.parrot.com/english/viewtopic.php?id=14923

If the improvements are things you really want and don't mind personalizing your device all over again go for it.

Hey guys I have a question for anyone who has or is familiar with a backup camera connected to the parrot...I connected the red backup camera cable to my reverse and that works fine but I wanted the camera to always have juice so I can switch to camera at anytime so I also hooked it up to ACC red wire and while the camera does have juice any time when I do this but when I switch gears it won't show the letters on my dashboard Like when I'm in P or RND but when I take off the ACC and just leave it connected only to the reverse gear wire it works fine. Any one know why this happens? Thanks in advance
