Read some of the instruction manual for my new Parrot Asteroid which Bodsy is going to fit for me as I need a grown up for that kind of work!
Have you had it fitted yet?

Yes its fitted
Bodsy did a sterling job as he always does.
I have it mounted in the centre space on the dash although it is currently just sitting there. Its a reasonable fit as I removed its stand so its sits back and it does look like it is meant to be there, or it will when I get a surround at some point and make it look proper.
The phone quality is very good.
I am currently using the "Waze" app on it as a satnav which is ok but it does need internet access to do a search, which is provided by using my iPhone as a hotspot. There are other navigation apps to try as well which I may do at some point.
Music streamed from my iPhone to the Parrot is only playing through the front speakers. I dont know if this is correct (I hope not!) or I have an issue. I messaged Bodsy about it a few days ago but he hasn't replied yet.
One last thing, the control for it is attached to steering wheel on a velcro strap is annoying and in the way so I will be mounting it elsewhere when I get a minute.
So far, I wouldn't recomend the Parrot and wish I had just got Bodsy to fit the proper BT module for phone use and fitted a Garmin satnav in a surround as is well documented on here,

EGR's & Butterfly removed. Really pleased as first time attempting any work on engine etc. Had read people say how long it can take and seeing tales of upto 8 hours! 1.5 hours later and I was all done.
Car running great, wish I had done ages ago see the crap that goes back through the EGR's.

investigate positions for gaz cannister (front of roof, rear of roof, insider rooftop wheel
fit compressor guard
fit rear ladder
find that ladder fouls awning so move awning
find moved awning fouls jerrycans holders so redrill awning supports

fit led sidelights in Caterham, upgrade main headlight bulbs

Extra 12volt charging points for phones or other appliances etc.
Top left is a volt meter, then on the right side are switches for each socket with an indicator light on them.
