Utilizing ASTEROID, an Android-based platform introduced last year at CES, Parrot is expanding its range of after-market connectivity solutions designed to integrate Internet functionality to the driving experience.
Devices range from a 3.2-inch dashboard mount model to a 6.2-inch central console replacement. All have wireless remote controls to mount to the steering wheel and are designed to access the Internet through a tethering cell phone or 3G key.
Parrot is currently developing applications to display the versatility of its devices, some of which include speed trap notifications and geolocation.
The company also stresses the open-source nature of ASTEROID and hopes it can be used to expand their app library as time passes. Along with Internet radio applications like Pandora, some of the devices are also capable of providing entertainment by capturing live TV broadcasts.
Parrot hopes to use the central console device as a base to expand to a multiple monitor entertainment system in the future.
Devices are expected to be available later this year, but no pricing has been announced yet.
