Parrot Announces Car Stereo That Supports CarPlay And Android Auto
Yet another announcement from CES today. Parrot announced a head unit, which is car industry speak for your car stereo, called the RNB6 that supports both Android Auto and Apple’s CarPlay with Siri Eyes Free. In other words, if you plug in an Android phone, you get Android Auto. Plug in an iOS phone, you get CarPlay. It also rolls to the table with these features:
Bluetooth 4.0
5GHz Wi-Fi,
Rear ports for GPS, HDMI, microphone input, ethernet, onboard diagnostics and USB devices
Built-in dash camera with a wide-angle lens and full HD support
Steering wheel control for UI navigation
In short, you in theory should be able to take almost any car and make it as cool as the ones sitting on the dealer lots today. Of course that depends on the car you have and the skill of the person installing the RNB6. But at least you have an option to upgrade your car to the latest in car technology. So, do you want to know the price and availability? Sorry. I can’t help you with the former. As for the latter, “the latter half of 2015” is the best I can do.
Oh, here’s a video featuring the RNB6 for your viewing pleasure. I’m going to be reaching out to Parrot to see if I can review this. Stay tuned!
