I did the same thing... the single major problem is the phone BT mic implementation. ... it's simply unusable... i gave up using the BT
[Android General] pajulaj:
OK, I still haven't updated. The reason is, I want to find out what is wrong with the system.

I COULD already update PAS from the USB.

When I try to update from PAS menus I get simply: "Internal error". The message used to be "Errror with the Internet connection", now it has changed.

What kind of an internal error could cause this and should I contact the seller and demand they fix it because of the guarantee?

I mean, could this "internal error" indicate some bigger problem with the hardware?

I also have a question about iGo. I cannot copy it to a bigger card, I get a notification saying my license is not valid, if I copy the whole card to a bigger card.

Is there any way to do that?

The original 8 gigabytes card is so small, I basically cannot install any other navis to the same card, not enough room for all the maps, so when i need to use some other navi, I have to switch the card.

I need Parrot Spotify APK (version: 100.4.9). Could you share it!?
[Android General] blipsqueak:
Just listed my unit on eBay... In great shape. I absolutely loved it, just couldn't get by the old version of Android. Tinkering with generic Chinese import unit now instead. Oh well. Not going to post the link here but it comes with a UNIKA SWC adapter, too.
[Android General] warleytd:
I really like this new UI for the radio. Can you send it to me and explain how to install it. Also you know the one thing I hate is the big white box of the volume. It's so ugly. And at night it's blinds me. Anyone way to change the color of it?
[Android General] RichieB:
I'm looking for this as well. The reason being that we (me and [MENTION=5965049]farukf[/MENTION] ) are stuck with Volvo's Sensus Connected Touch that has now been discontinued. So we do not get any more app updates. I'd really like to upgrade the Spotify app so we can enjoy higher quality streams.

If anyone can share a copy of their com.parrot.spotify.apk that would really be appreciated by all SCT users.
[Android General] farukf:
Hi RichieB, what a nice coincidence :)

Parrot probably reading this forum because last saturday update (spotify-100.4.9) came from Asteroid Market.

I will send it(and others) this evening if the AsteroidMarket doesn't send before me :)))

see you later

[Android General] swyner:
John. Does your custom rom for the radio app work in other countries like Canada and USA? I used to own the Parrot smart but sold it solely due to radio reception issues. It was terrible. I loved everything else.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

Anything different in this version?
[Android General] RichieB:
The new spotify version allows you to select the stream and download quality. I had trouble installing the apk so I replaced it in /system.
[Android General] Darkman:
Here ist the Spotify APK in the Attachment:

View attachment Parrot-Spotify-V-100.4.9.zip ZIP (Version 100.4.9)

View attachment com.parrot.spotify-1.apk APK (Version 100.4.9)

Changelog: (This is what i know)

- Select Stream Quality (Medium/High/Very High)

- Select Download Quality (Medium/High/Very High)

- Selectable Spotify starts in Media Player on Asteroid Boot

For Updating over the Asteroid Market you must Deinstall / Remove the App over the Market and then scroll down and go on DELETE App. Then you can download the new Version.

For Users without the Market can use my APK in the Attachment.

Have fun :highfive::good:
[Android General] John73Ny:
Don't forget it's based on an 2.1.9 version.

I've absolutely no idea if the new apk like Spotify works, because the framework API has may be changed.

John
[Android General] swyner:
John if I am reading your response correctly your radio custom will only work with v 2.1.9? Or was that just for spotify?

Anyone in North America try the custom radio?

Edit, I see now that the custom rom you created is a modification of the 2.1.9 firmware from Parrot. If this works in Canada and radio signal strength improves, can this be easily ported to 2.3.38?
[Android General] John73Ny:
Hi,

It's work well in Europe for sure, no reason there are more trouble in North America.

Just keep in mind it's made to work with RDS , I never try it with RDBS...

The Tuner system is almost the same between this version and 2.3.

It's just add some UI modifications and more or less stuff activated in the radio system.

- Radio pseudo dynamic mode

- And other audio filtering profiles are activated, in some case it could improve the audio behavior.(or change nothing)

- UI -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3nITTb8n6U (was in red in the video but i've removed it)

May be Parrot will do something on the filtering part for the next release., i hope so. but i don't know....

John
[Android General] pajulaj:
OK; I finally gave up and updated the product via USB to 2.30 from 2.19.

There was absolutely no way to update it using the internet. No matter how I tried, I got "Internal error" every single time.

Some things I noticed:

- The steering wheel controls have not dropped off one single time after update. Before the update I had to turn the steering wheel remote off and back on the from the menus at least once/day to make it work again.

- I downloaded the update from the Finnish site. Still, the only languages available now are German, English and Spanish. Not Finnish anymore and the speech recognition system naturally does not recognize Finnish names anymore, when I have everything in English. In fact, the older version did not either, until I switched the language to Swedish., But Swedish is not available anymore for speech recongnition. No even for UI language.

- I lost EVERYTHING I had installed + also Asteroid Market sign in info was gone. I had to use the browser version of the market to recover my password. The update was basically a factory reset. Which also fixed my "No SD-Card installed"-problem" :)

- The update via internet function from the menus does not anymore result "Internal error".

- The whole system _seems_faster. Not really if that is just me, or is it realy faster :)

BTW: Does anybody know where could I buy non-reflective/matte screen protector for PAS? The location of the player is lousy in my car and I cannot see the screen at all when it is sunny, because of the reflections. The only solution is a matte screen protector afaik.

Does not actually have to be for PAS, as long as it is big enough so I can cut it to fit PAS with scissors.
[Android General] proxonic:
John,

will your radio apk work with the latest firwmare 2.3.38.22 ?

thx

proxonic
[Android General] loko99:
Hi, in fact missing songs Crossfade to be collate option, it would be a major improvement for the new firmware.
[Android General] John73Ny:
Hi Proxonic,

I never tried it !

But i think it doesn't work because i've made a lot of modifications in the framework too for this custom ROM.

It was a test / demo version so i never commit the whole work so i've done this work for my friends and my own car.

Actually it's no possible for me to do a backport to a newest version.

This is the only rom where you could find this feature.

Fell free to try it , if you don't like it you can come back to an official release.

The only thing you must do is to do an erase factory settings just after the downgrade from 2.3.x.

[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
Although Asteroid Smart is quite an old machine, RNB6 has been cancelled and I'm still looking at it as a possible Android HUD for my 2003 Audi S6.

Is it still worth considering buying this device, or is there a better competition out there?

What I'm looking for from that unit is:

- Good audio quality

- Stability of the software so that it works as a radio / Spotify player / podcast player reliably

- Fitting into standard 2DIN slot (I don't want to cut the dashboard in any way)

- Overall quality of the device (e.g. physical buttons working reliably, knobs not falling out, screen being visible in direct lights)
[Android General] Taomyn:
I'd say that it ticks all those boxes - mine's been perfect for well over a year.

BTW. There has been no official statement by Parrot that the RNB6 has been cancelled unless you know different. I can only find unsubstantiated mentions by a commenter on their blog. As someone else pointed out, the period between announcing the Smart Asteroid and it's release was nearly a year, so the new model may still appear.. You have to remember these devices unlike phones/tablets has to be more thoroughly tested as they need to be reliable and survive in a more hostile environment. That's my opinion any way.
[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
I guess they did. I'm following comments on their blog regarding the RNB6 and it seems:

a) they cancelled the product after the CES show

b) they fired the project manager - I saw his linkedin profile saying he's looking for a job

c) they keep their mouth shut and not tell anyone about (a) and (b) most of the time

See this:

http://blog.parrot.com/2015/01/05/c...hicle-infotainment-system/#comment-2108212276
[Android General] John73Ny:
Yeah, RNB6 seems stop.....
[Android General] Taomyn:
a) but where is this mentioned by Parrot themselves, that blog post only mentions cancellation from a commenter not Parrot and everything I can find is purely hearsay - links to definite statements from Parrot please

b) means nothing, execs get "fired" and move around all the time

c) same for all companies, this isn't unusual
[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
Was it the same with Asteroid Smart - that they announced it and then kept silence for a year not telling a word?

Mounting Ipod as readable by a file browser

I know we can mount the usb devices to be visable via a file browser, so we can use external players to playback music and videos, but has anyone done this with the ipod?

as I would like to be able to playback videos from my ipod.
[Android General] vINyL3:
It appears thats true tha RBN6 will not be release to us =(

Mail i got from Parrot Iberica:
[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
They announced it at the blog already. What a great idea to keep everyone waiting for half a year:

[July 2015 update] RNB6 project was showcased at CES Las Vegas in January 2015 (watch video below). This infotainment system was selected by several automakers who envision to integrate it in their next-generation car models next year and beyond. As of today there is no plan to sell RNB6 in Aftermarket channels as RNB6 embedded technologies require deep integration with car series and manufacturers.

[Android General] devoidx:
Then we really need to find a way to flash kitkat or lollipop on our good old Parrots...
[Android General] nikkobenson:
I've been waiting all year to upgrade my radio. This is extremely disappointing.

Oh well. Guess I'll be getting one of those cheap Android head units from China. Gingerbread ain't cutting it anymore.
[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
I'm not sure whether to choose a China cheap unit or just add a Bluetooth-enabled CD changer emulator to my existing stereo. I'm kind of afraid of the el cheapo units' quality.
[Android General] devoidx:
now that they just left us with this 5 year old OS, I think we need to ask Parrot to release us the source code so we can perhaps flash kitkat or lolipop on our Smarts
[Android General] proxonic:
I've tested already a couple of units with my rav4 (win ce, android 4) and so far the parrot asteroid smart is the best one. Forget the china noname **** (only Roadrover units worth some attention but for me as well not even comparable to parrot) - very low radio reception, very long startup time, it goes always off whenever you shut off the car (parrot has a sleep mode with very short waking up time). Actually i don't know why do you guys want to have the latest (biggest, slowest) android on board? Everything works on parrot asteroid smart android - what doesn't?
[Android General] pajulaj:
Cyanogen for Parrot Asteroid would be GREAT! :)
[Android General] robbiekhan:
Hmm, I just fered up 2.1GB by deleting the iGo folder using root explorer. I don't use iGo, prefer Waze. This is good. I now have room for moar apps!
[Android General] devoidx:
lol yeah but no matter how much space we empty up having a 2.3.7 OS is pretty sad.
[Android General] robbiekhan:
True, true.... which is why I wish Parrot would release the damn Android Auto model! My car needs a shallow depth unit so Parrot is my only choice :(
[Android General] ss2pheonix:
Android Auto

So I heard on TWiG today from Ron Amadeo of ArsTechnica and formerly Android police that Honda's new android powered infotainment system runs on 2.3 GingerBread and has Android Auto! He also was able to get a system dump of it, anyone here know him? If we could get our hands on that system dump we may be able to have a 2.3 comparable version of the Auto framework.
[Android General] vINyL3:
This can be the replace for RNB6:

NIS 7100+
[Android General] lepaske:
Yes probably but you'll have to buy to car around it because I doubt they will sell this unit alone !
[Android General] JakubAnderwald:
It seems like it's the RNB6 released for auto makers.
[Android General] nikkobenson:
You're correct that all the basic features work very well, but if I wanted a Basic radio I'd stick with stock. I want video games, kodi, show Box, the latest version of tasker and Google Maps, LED controller app, etc. I'm a geek and I want to do cool, geeky things with my car.

Gingerbread isn't working out because a lot of the Apps that I want to run aren't compatible anymore. And the processor on this head unit can't handle video well.
[Android General] proxonic:
do you have the file for latest PL firmware 2.3.38.22 as well??

Asteroid tablet bluetooth audio source

Hello, I was wondering if you guys could help me with something. Ok so i use my cell phones bluetooth for audio on my car and i have been trying to get my parrot asteroid tablet to automatically switch to use bluetooth as an audio source when it connects to my phone since when the car starts its always on car radio audio source mode, i installed "Tasker" app but it doesn't do what i need :( do you guys have any ideas? i have been searching for a solution but i cant seem to find one :( please help :crying:
[Android General] RichieB:
Switching the source on the Asteroid involves executing some Java code against the Asteroid audio API. That is not something Tasker can do natively. If it was simply sending an intent it would have been possible with Tasker.
[Android General] kiswum:
You can use the app Smart Connect. It has been pre-installed on Sony phones, but you can add to your Android phone as well.

I'm not sure if it will start the music automatically, but I think that the car will use the last played music source.

Please check if this fits your needs.

Here are some settings of my app:
[Android General] gismer:
thx tho
[Android General] kiswum:
That's true, what I sometimes noticed, is that my Parrot uses Bluetooth music when I played it the last time. Don't know if they was a bug or a feature somehow. I will try to replicate it later on this week :)
[Android General] gismer:
:(

So im guessing there is no way to do what i need :( (make the parrot automatically switch audo source to bluetooth when it connects to my phone)
[Android General] DrWarrenKruger:
Get audio to external device?

Looking to pick some brains to see if anyone can think of an easy way to

duplicate

the main audio output of the PAS. I've got it hooked up in my vehicle as you'd expect, with the front/rear/sub RCA outputs going to amps. I've picked up an all-in-one portable "boom box" (for lack of a better term) as well that can accept a Bluetooth audio stream or a 3.5mm stereo audio input. Problem is, given my vehicle install, the PAS necessarily breaks up the audio into components and all I want is a single full-range stereo output for the box. Or, more conveniently, to stream Bluetooth out of the PAS and to the box. But whatever the case, I still want to hear the same content in the vehicle and on the box. This setup is just to be able to get sound outside the vehicle when tailgating, etc. I could split all the RCA audio outputs, then passively combine them for the box, but that will degrade the vehicle's amp input signals, and provide a pretty badly attenuated signal to the box, I suspect. Any ideas?
[Android General] delboydell:
just use the front phono output via a y-lead as it is a full range signal, only the sub output has a low pass cross over.

or you could use a speaker to line level adaptor and connect that way.
[Android General] twokidsandaphone:
Was going to make the same comment - front and rear RCAs should be full range. Another thought, since you are using amps in the car you could run the front or rear speaker leads from the PAS to a speaker box (4 ohm speakers or higher) and also install a hidden switch on the amp remote turn on lead; then you could use just the PAS to power the rear speaker box and switch off the amps in the car.
[Android General] DrWarrenKruger:
Thanks for the idea – problem solved! I didn't realize there was such a device, but I purchased one on Amazon for under $10 and it's working great. Much appreciated.

Hi all,

New to the Asteroid Smart family and i'm trying to get the most out of my unit. Installed the unit and everything seem to work fine until i did a OTA update to the 2.3.38.17. I've been trying to downgrade to 2.1.9 and can't seem to find the file. I would appreciate if someone had the us version of 2.1.9 so i can restart this process. thank you in advance :D

[Android General] RichieB:
I have a rooted Volvo SCT which is based on the Asteroid Smart. After rooting I have installed TomTom 1.4 from the Google Play Store. Has worked great for 4 years. However, TomTom decided to drop support for TomTom 1.4 on Android. The new TomTom Go Android software requires Android 4.0.3 minimum. So obviously that is not an option.

From the TomTom 1.4 app I am no longer able to extend my Live services (HD Traffic and Speed Camera's). Does anyone here know if TomTom is still supporting their software on the Parrot Asteroid? Can you still buy Live services using the TomTom ppk?

thanks for the file nijkepop. Now i still can't get framaroot to work correctly as it force closes when i try to open it after install. Am I missing a step here? Please any info would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I own a peugeot 207 with rd4 unit. Want to buy me a PAS but have some questions.

Will I need many extra's?

1. such as the unika (for steerwheelcommands)

2. Do I have to order a specified connector to fit my original wiring.

3. how does the PAS device react on my rear sensors? (I guess now it's integrated in the canbus.)

4. Will I still be able to adjust settings on my boardcomputer? (now it is partial over the rd4 unit.)

I know this is a lot but don't find much answers to my questions yet.

Did you also need an extra frame to mount your device or did it fit standard?

Went to a dealer nearby for info and he claims I do need a extra frame for my 207.

anyone fitted this to BMW e46? I want to know if i need any accessories to get this working with one go? Also if the unit's frame going to fill any gaps around?

Hi Guys

Don't know anyone can help

so i pick the login option put in my user name and password. get a error message email or password wrong.

but there not.

next thing i get a email from google say we have just blocked someone from login in to your account from a old insecure device.

is there anyway round this.

Maybe someone can port this to our Asteroid Smart.
[Android General] robbiekhan:
I have yes.

You need the fascia surround (remove the Smart's thin bezel first, then you gotta fashion the existing single din cage into a double din cage as my pic shows using DIY brackets and screws so it holds onto the fascia when installed.

You can buy Unika steering control module that rpelaces the stock Parrot>Asteroid ISO adapter for steering control too. That's the gist of all that's needed, the rest is a massive fiddle. routin wires, getting it net and whatnot.
