RRP: AU $229.99 with free postage from factory(hong kong)

Features: Region free DVD, Tv tuner, Ipod conectivity, Bluetooth, diferend logos for front

Things I like:
All the features, Everything works to how they said it would,
Can change logos when you first turn on the screen and on main menu (has holden, GM and chev for us holden guys)
Bluetooth connectivity is great (no echoes when talking)
Screen quality is decent and the price is great
Fitted great into my vs

Things I dislike:
Sound quality was not that good when using the HU inbuilt amp but as im using a amp for speakers cant give a great review for the SQ.
Would prefer to have the plug for iPod connection at the back of head unit rather then front,
Same goes for usb you plug the usb into a cable which i would prefer to have usb going straight into the HU
Cant really use the HU without screen out... Hard to change between iPod, radio and usb without screen open and not that many buttons on HU to control it
They say you can use cars remote control(steering wheel control) but they never say which wires you use from back of head unit

All in all not a bad headunit for price but i guess its a get what you pay!

aj159 thanks a lot for your review, but could you provide more photos, such as Radio and TV interface, or maybe a small video about operation?
i'll be very grateful to you, because there is no video of this model in internet :(

Yeah no worries mate sorry about the late reply
Ok so ill just tell you abit more about it untill i can upload a video
the radio mode works really well, has 3 Fm modes (so 18 FM stations can be programmed) and 2 AM modes... Radio station stays in the centre,
I havnt used the analog TV mode as when i bought this i bought the Digital tv tuner.. That works nicely but can be hard to get good reception so it maters where you put the antenna supplied with the digital tv tuner
Analog tv requires the antenna cord you use on tvs and an antenna to suit cord..
Ill get some photos up tonight

External amp or not your still amplifying the analog signal from the head unit which in a way becomes more important than the external amp you use.....

thanks for the answer, i'll wait impatiently!
just like to see the usability and responsiveness of the user interface, because most of such systems are awful!

Ok then the analog radio is good sound quality is good as it is crisp and very punchy when I'm listening with my amp and subs
