Just installed the same as above albert, did you copy the play store apk to system/apps too?
I believe that you *have* to copy both of these packages to /system/app directory. Remount it R/W before copying.

I have a few problems sometimes the smart doesn't see the unika. The works leds sayes it's working.
Restarting the car would solved and make the steering wheel control wrok.
Another problem is that the unit sometimes gives a message about crash reports.
Do u guy's experience simulair problems?
Here are the connections I made - you can either wire them up directly, or make another "tap" connector with some bullet connectors just like the one on the Unika's red wire and insert it on the switched +12v line.
- Red on the Unika is connected to the +12v battery line in your harness
- Red+Yellow on the Unika is connected to switched ignition source
- Black on Unika goes to ground
- Blue+Yellow on Unika was taped up and left unconnected.
For the resistive controls, I connected:
- V1 to the switch source in my wiring harness
- V2 and Unika Ground (Gray wire) to each other AND the switch ground from my steering wheel. The instructions did not indicate this was needed, but the Unika did not see button presses until this was done.
Somewhere I had read conflicting info about the LED as well, so this contributed to my initial frustration as I thought the unit was DOA.
In resistive mode, the LED blinks red ONCE when you turn the ignition on and when it sees key presses (IF you have the resistive controls wired correctly!). I noticed that the Asteroid was able to see and download code to the Unika prior to the key programming being complete, but, of course, the buttons didn't do anything and the LED status did not change.
Once I got everything connected correctly, I programmed the Unika to recognize the controls on my steering wheel - the Unika does "learn" the resistance values of your keys so if you press your buttons out of order, you'll need to poke the reset button and re-learn them in the correct order.
Still force closing.on me when I try to download or install an update from google play store,![]()
Same here..![]()
Thank you this worked for me, followed it and all is well now, no more force closing when trying to update or download appsHi i just did it linke this way
You try it in u'r one risk

1. Root your Parrot Asteroid Smart
2. Downloaded and install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk
3. Download Vending.apk. (its the Pkaystore APP)
4. Using a file explorer app on the Fire with superuser permissions AND the system file permissions set to Read-Write, move Vending.apk to /system/app.
5. Change the permissions of Vending.apk to User - Read/Write, Group - Read, Others - Read
6. Install Vending.apk (playstore APP from /system/app )
Reboot your Smart ( reset button)
Now u can star pkaystore and add u'r Google account
For the latest Vending.apk (playstore APP) just Google playstore.apk
I used ES File Explorer 2 change permissions and copy & install the playstore APP

So, if I connect the three wires up to the V1, V2 & GND the unika sees my button presses, but only every other one.
Swapping V1 and V2 makes the UNIKA see the other buttons not recognized the first time.
Anyone with some more electrical experience than me have any advice as to why this is?
Edit: I also tried combining the V2 and Ground... it didn't work. (could you clarify exactly what you did here?)
This worked perfectly for me as well. I was able to download and install my purchased apps.Finally the tutorial of AL-d82 works, but i changed permissions after copying the vending to system/apps.
ES Manager has not changed the permissions, i used Root Browser.
Thanks Man!!!!
I cant download any of my purchased apps, they all show as not compatible work this device, curious how you were able to accomplish that, I can only sideload apps and update those.This worked perfectly for me as well. I was able to download and install my purchased apps.
I didn't download *all* of my purchased apps, as I know many of them have special requirements. The ones I did download worked OK, I did not do anything special?I cant download any of my purchased apps, they all show as not compatible work this device, curious how you were able to accomplish that, I can only sideload apps and update those.
Got the Play Store working, downloaded a few apps, etc. Replaced my vehicle's battery, Play Store no longer showing up in the apps drawer.Using Root Explorer dug down to the system/app folder and Vending.apk was still there, permissions unchanged from before. Going to reinstall the software, but still... confused.
Has anyone else had this occur?
Sidebar:
XDA needs a forum dedicated to this device.
Any music players available for Android that can access an iPod? Default app is mediocre at best.
I would probably try connecting V1 to the first resistive switch line, V2 to the second resistive switch line, Unika GND to the resistive GND and see if that works.
I am fairly certain I used the DIP switch settings for non-OEM radios (sw1 ON, others OFF).The first thing I did was try it this way (sorry, should have been more clear). The only way the UNIKA sees anything at all is when it's connected one-to-one like you mentioned above, but I only see half of the button presses this way. This is also only while switch #1 is up and all others are down. You're spot-on with it only seeing one resistance rail, only... I don't know why this is.
I actually tested it with my cheap-o multimeter and I can see my button presses on both rails all the way to the bent pins just before it reaches the actual board.
I read another in another forum somewhere that switch #1 on enables V1 and switch #2 on enables V2, so I tried it that way. Nothing.
Switch #1 up, all others down and: Combine Ground/V2 - nothing. Combine Ground/V1 - nothing. Combine V1/V2 (for SnG's) and leave Ground separate - nothing.
So... I emailed Paser again with the schematics/pics I posted last time, and they got back to me this morning - told me to try V1 and AUX 1, with only switch #1 on. I'll try that tomorrow and post results.
Thanks for all your input though. It helps that at least someone out there has been able to get this working in resistive mode. I'm gonna get this damn thing figured out eventually
Out of curiosity, what DIP switch setting are you using?

Hopefully Paser will get you headed the right direction - I remember reading that the AUX lines were for additional resistance lines, but never saw any documentation that indicated how to wire them up.
I had seen someone, somewhere (I can't remember if it was on here, the Parrot official forums, or the Parrot dev forums), mention having a better/more complete manual from "an Italian company that makes the Unika", which I assume to be Paser. Have you seen such a manual? I've searched and been unable to find such a thing.
Thank you, sounds great. Please keep us updated! :good:
