[Wanted] Help me source a knob please!
So I'm really happy with my parrot asteroid smart, except for one thing. The lack of a physical volume knob.

People stateside fit these: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-Control-Power...olume+knob and they work well. The amazon reviews are full of people saying "bought this for my parrot asteroid, great!"

So it's perfect. EXCEPT: I can't find anyway to get one in the UK Sad

Can anyone help? Please! Having to use a touchscreen volume slider when driving is difficult and dangerous to say the least! Cheers, David

Unsure what software the Astertoid runs but what about something like this?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-1040-PMT-P...m_sbs_ce_1

Cheaper option perhaps may suffice?

I'm told this doesn't work. It's too 'software heavy'

The amazon one is very basic, no drivers etc. the asteroid runs a simplified version of android, hence cannot accept PC-dedicated ones like the griffin one Sad

Surely someone in the uk must stock a similar item? Cheers, David

Taking into account the price of the Griifin and the one below I'd bite the bullet and go for something you know works. The internet is plastered with how good the Fusion is....

Thumbs Up

Any good?

They were NOT listed on Amazon UK when I looked earlier.

£85 delivery is appalling Shocked

Same here, hence why I suddenly thought they'd become available in the uk :/

Yes that's my other thought, I've also sent an email asking... Cheers, David
