Yes, it's literally plugs and play on any Android\Windows\Mac\Linux device. On a Windows and Mac pushing down on the Volume control Mutes. It didn't do that on the Parrot, but

On a Windows and Mac pushing down on the Volume control Mutes. It didn't do that on the Parrot, but at least i can turn the volume down and up quickly. (still waiting on my Steering Wheel control stuff). When you first get it there is a super Bright Blue LED (for power) and the knob itself has RGB LED. You can download the software\program on Windows to change the brightness of Both LEDs (to completely off) and change the knob color to suit whatever color you please. Once saved to the device the setting is stored and kept (even when plugging on separate device) You can put in any universal knob on it (i believe radio shack has universal knobs for a dollar or so) With my steering controls i won't need it (but i still haven't ruled out to put it in one of the center console blanks, i already have it prewired there in the event i want to), but it's a neat little thing to have in the event i plan on getting a Parrot for another car that doesn't have steering wheel control.

Also i just heard back from Parrot regarding my "stand by mode" issue. Apparently the Device has a bump sensor inside it, when you open the door, it senses the vibration and begins a pre-boot.

Yes, I was about to comment on your standby mode - bump/vibration sensor. I've noticed every time I open door/trunk, the smart power light turns on for a sec then off. It helps boot the system up faster. 75% of the time when I jump into my car and pop it in reverse, the rear view camera loads up without the parrot being fully up and running.
Where did you get that volume knob? It's probably overkill with swc but i would like to know just in case I do decide to get one. Thanks |

It can be purchased here: Fusion Rotary Volume Control GPS mounted right next to the upper cubby  I didn't want to drill through the stock blanks (in the event i sell my car im taking audio off) So i used an old cheap eBay Cell phone case. I found a knob from an old stereo. I temporarly used some heavy duty tape to see how i like it. I may properly glue into place and add USB\AUX port there too.      Torque App ROCKS!
