So I was looking for another Head Unit and bought a Asteroid Smart, it was pretty much locked up tight to its own version of android and its own Market Place that basically was very limited.

So I rooted it and that was really very simple to do added some essential apps and a new Launcher and installed the play store, and though its not a power house spec wise it works well I can Run Dash Command, OSBII software, and tether my S5 for net connection.

It has 4 usb ports one for the phone/charge one for the GPS module, I put a USB hub on another port and I have the ability to plug 4 USB memory sticks etc to expand memory further. it has two inputs for Cameras via Phono and the bility to run a Usb Cam as a Dash cam that I havnt done yet.
I do run a rear view Camera and and blind spot cam cause my car is a Panel with no rear windows.
As a Whole the system is a Great Unit, and Im very pleased with how it all worked out.
