I've been thinking hard on what to replace the POS double din unit that came with my car when I bought it 2 years ago. The top two contenders right now are Kenwood DNN990HD and the Parrot Asteroid Smart. I do like the price point of the Parrot (Kenwood is 3X as much), but I like the Garmin maps that comes with the Kenwood.

Oop - yea I am, well def not considering anything else at least.Thanks for all the good info you're posting in this thread -
as far as after rooting and putting google navigation on it, how do you download data for maps? Do you somehow store the map, or do you tether from your phone etc?

I've been meaning to dig into that more. Thank you for reminding me. I'll see what I can find regarding that.
I prefer to use Google Navigation then google maps. Looks more like a traditional Navigation unit. I wish there was a way to use the new google maps but I don't think its possible with version of Android the Parrot runs.
I'll keep you posted.

DEFEATS
THE
PURPOSE
OF
HAVING
NAVIGATION.
I love my Parrot. I've only had a few issues related to using it in a way not intended by the manufac.
I'm anxiously awaiting evoscan's app for Android to be released. I plan to install it or use Dash Command to display real time OBDII info as well and be able to clear DTC codes on the fly.
Until someone comes up with a kit to use Android or IOS tablets in the car and makes it a easy install this is by far the best dbl din HU out in terms of being able to customize and make it more of a mobile information center.

It looks like that Eden Customs setup is the only turn-key solution right now...
I'm wondering what the difference is w/ the 2 kits--why would they be different. This will be going on an MR.
