hey guys/girls recently bought a dvd satnav unit off ebay was a no name make so i was bit unsure but i thought oh well comes with 1 year warrenty.

so this is the unit i bought it replaces the old unit with no need for any adaptors and comes with canbus so you can still use all the steering wheel controls


so features are

*satnav, dvd, bluetooth, aux input, rear camera input, 3g capable and front mounted micro sd card slot (free 4gb card as well)

so this was my old unit


And how the dash looks now


rear view camera is a real help and very clear on the screen


bluetooth is very easy to use and you can download your phonebook in to it


satnav is very good a little complicated but am used to a tomtom but overall very good


Am really happy with the unit i would give it 8/10 the only little thing ive found is the screen flickers slighty when it first comes on after its been off for a while but after 30 secs or so it stops so am not to fussed

Any comments welcome.

Looks neat mate

How is the sound quality compared with the Sony unit? Is there any chance of a night time pic to show the colour of the buttons??

Is the reverse camera one that replaces the numberplate light??

I am defo considering getting one of these, looks really smart.

Looks very neat Liam. i think they are very good value for money considering what they can do

Looks great! I've contemplated something like this in the past but for the Mk2 pre-facelift, like the one in the link below, to keep it as OEM looking as possible. Reckon selling my Sony and Parrot handsfree kit would probably get a decent bit of the price back too.

hey haz if i had to choose i would say the sony sounds better but only by a tiny bit more, yer the camera i bought seperate off ebay there are 2 types at the pre-face lift is a different design and i forgot to say the leds are red in the unit to make the rest of the car pic below

very nice ! have you got a link for this unit might have to treat myself

[Pitmonster]

Looks very nice indeed.

Couple of questions, if you don't mind:

* does it have a rear USB for connecting an iPod, and having the iPod hidden in the glovebox?

* does it have DAB for things like 6 Music?

* what's the sat nav like for searching postcodes and points of interest etc?

Thanks.
