Thread: New multi media system fitted

found the reset button

Ok this system has been in for a few months now so i thought i would give you a review. It crashed once a few weeks back i emailed the dealer they sent me an upgrade which was easy to download and this fixed the problem. It also upgraded all the new roads & speed limits. The reverese camera went funny for a few days but it healed itself and has been working fine ever since. I like the navigation its easy to use and very accurate. The radio & stereo are very good. When traveling my copilot plays tunes from the ipad direct using bluetoth. The hands free is very good my phone is set up on bluetooth I dont have to do anything it rings through the car system as soon as its running.
Things i dont like.
No electronic speed readout ( i might be able to add this )
Radio doesnt mute for voice directions ( maybee i havnt set it up )
Once you reverse or get a call it doesnt automatically go back to Navigation screen. I have to touch the screen icon.
Now a few people recon because it came from China it wouldnt last so far so good. The sellar has been great and the 2 year warranty is as good as any euro brand gives. I get free updates for the nav which is better than my Tom Tom gave me. It looks good in the dash, graphics are good , sounds good.
I triec to buy a similar unit for the daughters D2 but couldnt get one the same. I did buy a Chinese one though very similar with A 1 din unit & folding touch pad screen. It has the same Nav graphics.

I recently bought a reversing camera for my 2003 from Prestige Fix, on ebay. He does a lot of stuff for RR and BMW in way of sound, etc. In Sydney.
Integrates into the original system; thru dash screen. Camera mounts beside one of the number plate lights ( have to drill a 22mm hole) so is a little off centre but doesn't take long to get used to positioning tow hitch! Saves getting in and out as can get with 20mm or so to ball!
I've also fitted a Audiovox Mediabridge unit that plugs into where the CD stacker was, in glovebox; it has bluetooth/phone kit so now all hands free! You can plug into it USB, Ipod/Iphone, Sat radio, aux. All works through the original system.

Oh, and cost this unit? around $300 landed from US. Easy self fit.
