Default Parrot Asteroid

I was considering getting a Euro Becker 7990 for my C4S but now I see Parrot has just come out with this. Looks fairly nice, and might fit in well with the 993 interior.

Thoughts?

I played with it at CES last year and it seemed really cool. It needs to teather to the phone to make it work.

I saw that but couldn't live with "Parrot" staring at me on the dash.

Yeah i don't like that either. Wonder if one can rub the letters off or make a black sticker to go over.

The price is alright - 350ish - much better than the Becker at 650

That looks like a sweet unit! It's clean, & classy looking. It seems to have just about every function you would want. It's suck a relief to see a head unit that isn't blue with a bunch of green, amber, white, blue, flashing lights.

You need a smart phone for everything to work? What will it do with out a phone attached?
