Hey guys, just wondering what you think about this head unit that I came across today. Seems pretty awesome to me!

I wouldn't touch that thing with a 30ft pole let along put it in my car.

Joking aside though I've never heard of the brand and WTF is the Asteroid network?

Seems like something to me that would have very few apps and be much worse than other touch screen head units from name brands.

Sounds like a no name company. I'd stay away.

For nearly $600 you could get a lot better of a setup.

I've been looking into it and it is true that the asteroid market is limited, BUT you can install apps from your phone onto the device.

Been looking at the Pioneer's and have owned one, they are great, but this seems like something new and fresh with a ton of great features (6v pre amps was the first thing to catch my eyes).

Never knew this, but the head unit is capable of connecting 2 bluetooth devices at a time which is pretty cool.
