Parrot Android Classic - Anyone have one or use one?

[dom9]

All,

I've been looking for a single din sat nav (very rare these days) and came across the Parrot Android Classic a while ago but couldn't find one anywhere...



They have a couple of ex-demo units at my local car audio place at a bargain price (£100), with the GPS receiver, microphones etc.

At that money - It's possibly worth a punt for the potential it has. I believe there were some software issues (there are updates available) and the GPS antenna is meant to be hit and miss (though a 'better' one is available on eBay for £30, apparently) but has anyone used one or owned one?

Interested to hear owners/ users feedback. It had very good reviews a few years back, when it was released, and it would only be going in my Clio 172, which has a completely non-working radio anyway... Worth a go?

I have one, but not installed properly yet. SD card, usb and iPod works great. GPS takes juice even when off so that's confusing. It's on the latest firmware...
Be interesting to see what yours is like, mines was 150 second hand, so a oner is good value.

Interesting that you are on the latest firmware... I assumed that would be better for map/ software updates but there seem to be some issues with it from the Parrot forums and some people seem to think the RDS/ Radio functions are to blame.

I really wanted mine for maps, radio and handsfree. For £100 - it has to be worth a punt I'd have thought.

Might take a week or two to install, looking at my schedule!

Is it going in the 996? Mines going in a 964.
