Great!

Thank you. I posted the files in our forum as well (http://asteroid dot gforums dot de/). They aren't completely working on the EU version but some of them do and as they already are translated into german, I hope Parrot will also include them in the next updates for us.

thanks!

This definitely needs it on spot on XDA.

I am looking into getting one of these. But I want to wait until the next version.
[General Accessories] brian417:
been trying to find more information on this and found this thread. specifically if I could share 3g with my rooted optimus v and unfortunately it seems that I can not BUT! according to the faqs on parrots website they are working on an update to allow 3g sharing via usb.

think I will hold off on purchasing for now but very excited about the potential this has.

btw love the noob video even if it does hit close to home.:D

I would like to see an option for a USB WiFi adapter, and just use the hotspot on my phone.

Im starting to get bored with the Parrot. I need new apps like Rhapsody, Pandora and better Google Maps to name a few.

I tried updating the firmware with the latest update for USA and it didn't work. Anyone update it successfully and if so what if any noticeable changes did it bring? My friend needs his Iphone 4S to work and is waiting for an update.

Install apps like grooveshark or music by google

Hi guys! Is possible to install apps like grooveshark or music by google? I need to root the receiver? THX
[General Accessories] Mayguy:
good stuff

Is there any secret to getting it to share the bluetooth tether using either Cobalt Blue 2 or Wireless Tether (the old version which had BT tether in it). I have a rooted Galaxy S2 with stock ROM, but can't get either program to work correctly (sharing the connection).

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

I updated just fine with 1.4 and according to the release notes, which were just recently posted, the main change in 1.4 was Iphone 4s compatibility.
[General Accessories] 1mp4c:
I'm thinking about getting this radio, but I have a couple questions. Has anyone hooked up all of the pre amp outputs? I see that it says there are 6ch outputs, but in all the images I only see 4ch.. I just got done wiring my car up, and want to change out the HU. I'm hoping we get root on this, or some good updates from Parrot. Its only been out a short time, so it seems to be where I would expect it as far as tech goes. Thanks to anyone who can answer! :D

Edit: Wow took a bit but I found some info on it, and the Sub RCA's come out of the wiring harness from the radio. Woot! Its also pretty cool that the software is online for all to play with, I wonder why it hasn't been hacked yet? Seems to be using all the same stuffs :P
[General Accessories] 1mp4c:
Any one who has purchased this radio have a list for the wiring outputs from the connector?

I decided to pick one of these up to check it out, and in the book it mentions an orange wire, but I don't have one in this harness, and there is a pink wire...

Which wire is the amp turn on? Is it the blue wire? there is only one, and usually there are two, one for amp and one for power antenna.. Wanna make sure I'm hookin this up right the first time. :confused:

Well I'm dumb, in that when you remove the slip cage you can see there is a pin out on there for what the wires are. I'm assuming I need to use the antenna pwr wire for accessories.. not using the antenna anyways, just that they sometimes lose power when not in radio mode, hope it stays on.
[General Accessories] fonetval:
@Xplosivo : how do you get tethering to work ? I've seen that the CM 7.1 hasn't get DUN BT profile anymore (but CM 7.0.3 seems to have it and I can't find it to download !).

I've got a Asteroid and a rooted Desire S (but with no custom ROM yet) and I want to be sure it works before I put this CM 7 on my DS...

Thanks to all of you guys ; you're awsome on xda...!
[General Accessories] raven_5x:
orange wire usually is dimmer/illumination

pink wire, not sure

blue wire is remote (amp turn-on), it will need to control both amp turn-on & antenna control.

Hope this helps!

I finally got my paws on the US Version of the Parrot ASTEROID.

BT DUN pair with my Samsung Captivate on ICS 4.0.3 (CM9a) no prob,

also BT DUN pair with my old HTC G1 on GB 2.3.7 (CM7) no prob.

3G & wifi both tether through the BT DUN. I haven't tried 2G.

I really hope that XDA will make a new forum for non-traditional Android devices. Rejecting the Parrot ASTEROID a forum is doing open-source a HUGE disservice!

/soapbox

Anyways, here are some links of interest I've found online that other forum members may find useful (none of which I claim ownership of course):

Hello...

I have same question about asteroid:

Can i listen to the radio offline?

is there offline navigation?

thanks!
[General Accessories] noahas:
If by offline you mean without internet connection, yes you can listen to the radio, no there is no navigation without an internet connection.
[General Accessories] William4444:
First, I don't know if I can post links yet. Second, I'm too lazy to dig it up. They had an article on Androidpolice during CES that included a speaker from Parrot showcasing it. I think he said a Q2 release. I'll be getting this the second its released, regardless of price.
[General Accessories] stock1232:
You would think after two months they would have released at least one extra app for the Parrot. Im really getting bored of it. Anyone return theirs? I have like two more days to return it and don't know if I should hold out.
[General Accessories] djfourmoney:
Why you bored with it?

Now with that out of the way, they will release a double DIN model. Which now will cover 99% of the cars available to 99% of the people. Not that the 1-Din model doesn't some just wanted a larger screen.

That has been addressed, so I expect development to pick up speed. The product has only been out for less than a year.

Round up all the Asteroid users in the US for example and petition various app makers to make a version for this, it shouldn't be hard.

I can think of a few -

Sirius/XM App

Torque OBD-II App

Video Recording App (For the Camera inputs on the 2 Din Model)
[General Accessories] la.ouiche:
What a joke ICS on Asteroid are you kidding? I don't know how memory it embeds but with a 400MHz CPu I won't bet more than 64MB, may be 128... I read it does'nt have any video hardware acceleration either, so don't expect to have a 3D navigation like google or any soon or later.

I bet this device will be stuck in Donut forever!

But this is still a great product, and thousands of usefull ideas can be developed using this hardware and OS.
[General Accessories] pim:
aac+ ?

For the guys in the USA having tunein instead of liveradio from orange : can you tell me if the app decodes streams in aac+ ?

Liveradio plays those streams but treats them as aac instead of aac+. The sound is then really bad (lack of trebles)

Thanks :)
[General Accessories] bulktrasher:
After last update (1.4.3) Bluetooth DUN stop working with my I9001.

Anyone with the same problem?

BTW don't wait for Torque for Asteroid. There is no BT API on it.
[General Accessories] jluciano1337:
I just got my asteroid a few days ago, installed it and everything works great.(Acura MDX) I love it, there aren't many apps, but hey it already does more than any other radio out there. So no complaints there. I haven't tried it, but I hope there is support for flac and other formats. I'm sure there can be an app for that. My only problem is I have lost the front channel speakers randomly after using it for about an hour of driving. Once that happened I stopped, pulled it out and found the heat sink to be piping hot. So I go home, next morning all the channels work great. -_- I'm getting a little usb fan and attaching it to the heat sink, hopefully that will keep her nice and cool. Contacted parrot, waiting for a response. So did anyone else notice you can cook a decent steak on the back of their Asteroid too?
[General Accessories] jluciano1337:
hey guys just wanted to say I figured the problem out yesterday with the over heating. I took a look and there was a screw in the harness that came with the radio. It was basically taking 4 if those speaker outputs, and connecting them to each other. lol. If your wondering why it wasn't being used, its cause I'm only using the power and antenna wires on that. My audio is rca.

Here is the ****ty part. Everything was working great all day after that, but this morning the Bluetooth is connecting, except I'm getting no audio through it for music. Calls work and everything, just not music. Then when I go to the line in source it says source not available..... How that makes sense I have no clue. Its a auxilary cable that is plugged directly in the back. lol. The only thing I can think is a updated yesterday. But it worked for a while after the update too.

Hey man I think I have the same bug too. Did your BT work at first after you updated?
[General Accessories] fordstang99:

[General Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
So is everyone happy with theirs???

I am interested in getting one.
[General Accessories] noahas:
While mine has been fine since the last update several months ago, I would check the Parrot forum before your purchase:

http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewforum.php?id=31
[General Accessories] jluciano1337:
But yeah droid master,check out the forum, before and after you get one. I bought this thing knowing it was a newer never done before kind of radio, so I figured I would have my fair share of bugs, but really in the end it all ended up being user error on my side, and the rom on my phone had some bluetooth bugs.

But now after updating my rom, I can say this radio is 100% functional and I'm satisfied. Now if only I could hook it up to my steering wheel controls, and it had actual turn by turn navigation I would be very pleased. Besides that its a great deal for the price when compared to other more expensive options. Just remember its bleeding edge, so you need to have patience.
[General Accessories] Djhg2000:
Hi, I just figured out how to do the closest thing we will come to a hard factory reset, at least without root. Might come in handy if anyone finds themselves being unable to perform a factory reset like I did:

WARNING!

This is an experimental method of forcing the Parrot Asteroid to start over from scratch due to incompatibilities between 1.4.3 and 1.5.0 .

I take no responsibility for what you do with your Parrot Asteroid.

If you don't feel comfortable with taking this risk or if you doubt this will help your situation, please contact Parrot technical support instead.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Put both US 1.4.3 and UK 1.5.0 on a USB stick

Rename the extension of the UK update (I added an underline but pretty much any change should do, this is to keep the updater from recognizing it as an update), this is very important and it's probably the most critical step

Do a forced update (the two button sequence), it will first say there's a new version of the updater and then a new version of the firmware. It will then reboot into 1.4.3 . This will force it to restore all settings it doesn't recognize from 1.5.0 (almost everything, for me my favorite streams remained)

After it finishes updating, plug the USB stick into a laptop/tablet/phone/etc and rename the US update as above and the UK update back to the original filename

Do a forced update, again new version of updater

After everything finishes, unplug the USB drive and optionally rename the files back as in step 2 for a one shot field reset (use 1.4.3 until you can rename the 1.5.0 update)

Keep in mind this is what worked for me, however it may or may not work in your case.

There's also no guarantee this will work in the future when later firmwares have been released.
[General Accessories] crater:
Just got this Headunit this week. Did the install myself in my 2010 Challenger. Looks and works great. The only thing really missing is a good Podcast app. Tunein radio works great, but it can't save podcasts as Presets/Favorites. Anyone know of any compatible podcast apps that let you set favorites so I'm not having to endanger the lives of other drivers or take 10 minutes siting in my driveway to listen to Adam Carolla?

Thanks.

EDIT:

Scratch that, Tunein works, but you have to use their website, create an account, add the presets despite the warning that it doesn't work on android, then log into the account on the headunit, boom presets are there.

Not sure why their android app on the phone doesn't support this.

Parrot custom ROM

Just found that the peeps over at http://asteroid.gforums.de/ have started their own custom firmware project for the asteroid at

http://code.google.com/p/customasteroid/

Just thought it would be good to let any interested developers over here know about the project if they wanted to help. They also mention that 'Non-Programmers may post their ideas with the issue type "Idea". Attach files, drawings etc. as you wish. Please contribute!' So anyone is free to contribute.
[General Accessories] crater:
Does anyone have the US 1.4.3 plf they can provide? My radio is misbehaving and giving me a UID inconsistent error after i tried to reapply the 1.5 update to resolve a weird crash when I tried to change the fade/balance settings. Reinstalling 1.5 over and over doesn't resolve the problem. Hope someone can provide 1.4.3 so I can try and force it to wipe everything like was explained in a previous post.

Thanks.
[General Accessories] masr1979:
Hey do any of you with this thingy have it rooted, and have ADB access? I would really appreciate if somebody that is able can "adb pull" some files. Freaking parrot doesn't want to release details on the .plf format, so I can't grab 'em off of there.

Waze for Parrot Asteroid

Hi,

I recently contacted Waze with regards to the Parrot Asteroid. If kick up enough of a fuss they said they may support it.

for those of you who don't already know Waze is a free turn by turn community driven navigation app for Android, iPhone and Blackberry.

It's a fantastic app and The Asteroid would really benefit.

Please take some time to vote for Waze on the Parrot Asteroid here:

[General Accessories] esziszi:
Voted. The Asteroid has Android 1.5, I think. Depending on what API functions WAZE uses, implementing it might be difficult.
[General Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
It's compatible, I nearly had it running but the Asteroid lacks storage space.

Waze supports the G1.

I'm trying to test Navigon but either I'm getting the wrong maps or I've done something wrong. I've tried MN65 and MN7 maps of europe and western europe but Navigon still prompts me for a connection to PC or WLAN.

I'm lost.

It works, tested since firmware 1.4. It definitely works on 1.6.1 US.

Try 1: You've probably seen this post, with step by step instructions on installing it.

Try 2: If try 1 doesn't work, check your PM.
[General Accessories] spiderknight:
Got 1.6.1 installed. Bluetooth audio and phone stuff works fine. Bluetooth networking as well but seems a bit slow (using rooted S3 with bluetooth networking and usb tethering unlocked). Previously, unrooted cobaltblue3 worked but was slow as well (maybe slower). Can't get usb tethering to work although it did with my friends phone (rooted cm7 nexus one I think).

Still some minor things. Rebooted when doing voice search on SD (one time so far since install of new software).

Yes, as others have pointed out, more apps would be great, but I would like a little more stability first. Maybe things will calm down now since I'm not trying funky things anymore.

Hi from Spain!

Is there any off-line navigator? it would be great! any how-to?

I´ve read something about Navigon is working ok, but I´m not sure...

Thanks!

[General Accessories] Javiluo:

Thank you Fwnk!

Is there any "how-to" or "tutorial"?

I´m used to change my Samsung´s Rom, but I don´t know how to operate the Asteroid yet...
[General Accessories] Fwnk:
Same for me, but no. I found 1 in French and 1 in Dutch (which is my mother tongue)

But installing Navigon is fairly easy:

Download this: https://rapidshare.com/#!download|371p2|2960922094|Navigon_Parrot_ASTEROID.rar|124366|0|0

Then find the maps you need. I found out that 2012 maps work fine, so try this: http://pirate****.com/torrent/6929904/Navigon_Europe_2012_Q1_Maps___Navigon_4.0.1_Android

Then make a folder called Navigon on your SD card, unpack the first RAR into the Navigonfolder you just created.

Copy the maps in the Navigon/map folder on your SD card

Install Navigon through the installerprogram on your Asteroid (You need to put the SD card in the Asteroid offcourse.

And Voila!

One big disadvantage of Navigon is that i am getting an error: 472 when trying to navigate across a border... So no international navigating :(
