Probably not useful. The standardized part of OBD2 pertains mostly to parameters of the ICE, so none of that would be present in the Roadster.

Thank you again. Not being able to get to the recent apps was the reason I didn't reassign the buttons. You are solving all my issues. Do you know if you can change the speed sensing speeds? I tried to update them and it said invalid entry. I love the ability of the volume to self adjust. I will update the buttons when I go home tonight!
Thanks again!

I'll call this one the Winter project. I upgraded the bootanimation.zip for the Parrot Asteroid.
Your choice of a head unit all depends upon what is your priority for features and performance.Would like to resurrect this thread... It seems like such a great unit...Despite the sad demise of the RBN6 do most of you think that the Asteroid is still the best upgrade for the Alpine unit?

The good news is that just about any double-DIN head unit is a drop-in replacement for the double-DIN Alpine provided that the removal of the Alpine includes the removal of all of its ancillary components in the dash and down in the wheel well behind the waterfall.
If one is in the US and wants HD radio (more on this in a moment) and SiriusXM, then the Asteroid is not a good choice as my recollection is that neither of those features are available in the Asteroid. HD radio, in particular, somewhat makes up for the ambient RF noise levels in the car and the around-the-windshield antenna both which will make for FM listening somewhat less than optimum if not in HD (neither the Alpine nor any other available head unit has an FM diversity antennas which make FM listening such a pleasure on other high end cars).
If integration with a smartphone is a highly-desired feature, I also do not believe that the Asteroid does that. Rather, a high-end Pioneer or Kenwood will likely perform better with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Finally, for me the most significant usability drawback to the Alpine (and would be for the Asteroid) was the lack of a volume control knob. Roadsters do not have steering wheel volume controls like most cars and there is no practical way to add one (I know that some aftermarket gizmos are available but I have never seen one that I would either want to use or to have to look at on my steering wheel or turn-signal stalk). Adjusting the volume on the Alpine stabbing at a button was a diversion of my attention from the road when driving at speed. Therefore, one of the features I insisted on was a regular old volume control knob which I can grab without looking at, and frequently raise or lower volume which is particularly needed with the top down.
The feature that the Parrott Asteroid Smart shines in is its Android operating system and its ability to use Android apps that cannot be installed on other head units --- I am thinking the Waze app in particular.

Actually - I had a bit of a brain fade....this should just plug in as it is now...retaining HCE-C105...
