I've seen alot of people ask about the $300 ebay dvd players for cars, both here and in other forums. Well my brother bought one, and if you want to know why it came out the next day, read on. Im awake you get what you pay for, and am not having a whinge for the sake of it. This product would be good for certain people, depending on how u use it.
RRP: Buy it now $300-$450 (brother got it for $230 bidding)
Features:
DVD player, bluetooth, ipod connection, motorised 8.5" touch screen, usb port, tv tuner
Things I like: Looks good. Quality of the screen is fine for the price paid. Interface is also acceptable for the price paid. Easy connections to be made on the back of the unit during installation. It doesnt look a milion dollars, but it doesnt look cheap, and overall is a good looking unit.
Things I dislike: Sound quality is acceptable for cds and dvds, but the ipod sound quality is abismal. If you plan on using it, you do not want this unit. But most of all, the motorised screen is a nightmare. Unless your cars dash is perfectly straight or concaves below the Single din slot, you might as well throw it out. When you reattach the screen, it moves to be perfectly straight with the unit(as though it was a double din dvd unit)....the angle is adjustable once everythings powered. But if the dash doesnt let it hang down 5 inches straight(ie in my brothers 91 corolla seca, i hits the air con) then its gonna break it.
The remote control is required too much to operate the unit .
Ipod connection was loose, whenever you touch it , it crackles.
On the head deck, when you scroll through the ipod, u need to look at the ipod to see what ur doing. the head deck does not display the file system on the ipod.
Star rating out of five:
2/5. only reason it doesnt get a 1 is because it was cheap.
In summary, if your dash is straight down from where your din slot is, if you want to use it as a cd/dvd player and not fussed about sound but want the visual, then its good value for money.
