This looks incredibly cumbersome in comparison to keeping my iPhone in between my legs and only checking it at a red light, or when I'm merging onto a freeway.
I'm sure there are ppl in the market for an in dash device that restricts Siri...

You are right, totally useless thing!
On a more serious note, I like the looks of it! Also good it can handle both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. If you have it you (and other possible drivers) are not restricted to having to have one type of phone. Also handy when reselling the car/device.

The first aftermarket in-dash system I see, that doesn't have laughable functionality.
However, I think it will still have a laughable price.

When I saw "Parrot" in the title, I thought for sure this was an article about Samsung changing their name to something more appropriate. :eek:;)

looks really cool, but idk, has parrot made in dash car equipment before. seems like a lot of potential for lag / bugs.

This seems really great!!! Boo-hoo-hoo to all the negative comments... One of the best looking dash displays, compatible with carplay, that i've seen so far. Hopefully other companies, including the car manufacturers make note and model their in-house systems off of this.

This seems like reinventing the wheel
I would much rather see direct integration of a tablet (iPad) in place of these center consoles. The consumer experience could be so much better.

Interesting thing about this unit is that it'll actually connect directly into obd2 if you want car stats access. I wasn't able to find info on CarPlay supporting it, but supposedly the android auto protocol allows for access to that information. It also has a GPS antenna that both systems should allow to be passed through to the phone. It's gonna be an interesting new world for phones and car integration :-)
The other connectors on the back look interesting... Two HDMI ports, one of which is mhl, an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi. I don't see a backup cam port which is weird.
