I lost my cup holders to fit it in, but it was worth it. the BT handsfree and voice commands are excellent. it connects well to just about any smart phone. they have their own app store, but you can also install the android app store and others. it has it's own GPS or you can use Waze (free) or Tom Tom or several others.
it also has built in wifi and you can tether it to you phone (if you have hotspot) for internet on the go. you would need this for apps like waze. you can also plug in a usb 3g or 4g dongle for its own internet, but I wasn't going to spend that much.

the only things I don't like about it is that there is no physical volume buttons and it takes a while to boot up if it has been off >30 minutes.
How do you like the Parrot Asteroid Smart? I currently have a stock CDR23 with base audio (no door speakers, amp or CD changer) and will be upgrading my system soon. I will be changing out the dash speakers and adding the rear speakers. I am trying to figure out if I can fit a powered sub under the passenger seat.

The Parrot is one I am considering very seriously.
