Right, here is the verdict.
The item arrived on tuesday via courier, and there was no one there to sign for it, so it was re-delivered wednesday.
Packed well, and I emphasise that this unit has no brand name on it.
Everything you could possibly need for a successful install is in the box EXCEPT the little aerial adaptor to change modern day leads into a push in type.
All things that were meant to come with the unit did come!
It didn't take long to fit, but the first snag was that the loom that came with it that connects to the speakers plug was obviously wrong. The fader control turned the speakers from left to right, and the balance control operated the front to back levels. I had to splice the wires so they worked properly, cos with the stereo track, the sound was bouncing from front to back instead of side to side.
The SD card slot was a little tempremental, but it's ok now
The TV part works, but the higher you are, the better
Sound quality is OK, but not breathtaking. The one in my D which cost £500 leaves it standing, but it is a reputable make
Slight surpression noise when engine is running, i'll either have to get an in line surpressor, or live with it
And the touch screen is a little fiddly to use, and only 80% of the buttons on the remote actually do anything
I rate this as 7/10, but value for money definately 10/10
Well worth a try for £100
Thanks for reading
