So I took out the bracket on the left and just bent it up and out of the way. I got smart on the right side and just undid a couple of the bolts and then just bent it up. Hardest part was figuring out how to run the hvac lines to the box. Got it done though and it took me like 2 hrs to figure it out. Thanks so much guys and it was so easy but looks so amazing now!!

i've been stalking their web page and anything regarding a release date. Wonder why it slipped so bad. The test unit they have seemed like it worked good.
I still haven't gotten my car back so I still haven't installed the Piorneed 140BT yet. If this came out I would install the pioneer in the wifes car (Stock nav sucks) and get this for my car.

Good morning Sam,
Thank you for your interest in Parrot.
The ASTEROID Smart will start shipping next Monday. It should hit the US stores in a couple of weeks.
The list of available apps will be posted on our website by launch.

FYI it's available now, for sure, I'm half waiting for reviews half weighing pros and cons of getting this vs rigging an android tablet.. the PITA of rigging the nexus vs running this thing. nexus is obviously way better in every way, but will require a data plan etc, and no idea how to rig something like that vs the plug n play parrot

Waiting on your feedback as well, kyoo, on the Parrot ASTEROID Smart. I've been wanting to get rid of the POS head unit I've had since I bought my SE. It's not bad, but the poor resolution and the unresponsiveness during the colder temperature is driving me crazy!

i'm still kiiiiiiiinda considering the custom w nexus7 but logistically will prob go w/ this. seems like it runs fast enough etc., it'll have everything i need i suppose. the only thing that i'm hesitant about is that it doesn't do turn by turn with google maps... no idea why. however, being android, i bet it can be rooted quickly and able to run whatever

Yeah my wife needs a new GPS double din so I'm contemplating biting the bullet and getting this and give her the Pioneer I've been sitting on since beginning of this year.
I'll be scouring the internet for reviews. Let me know what you decide kyoo. Now that its a reality I will to think long and heard. A nexus tablet while no doubt more functional seems like to too much of a PITA to be used in a car ATM.

one thing I'm kinda looking forward to is either A, rooting this guy, and/or B, this guy getting updated easily/frequently
so, oddly enough it doesn't run google maps for navigation, but there are already work arounds to do so:
