The fron seemse to be wider than the rest of the unit - make sure there's enough space in the coupe!

I think it may still fit. There's a better pic on this link (scroll down and look at all the pics, there's a side shot of the front of the unit); http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5-SCREEN-IN-CAR-...1QQcmdZViewItem

This looks remarkably like the one Turborevs is selling over in the 'Parts for sale' section, for £80....? Edited to say no its not, so feel free to ignore the above.....!

I was wondering about getting one of these instead of a JVC jobbie (as its more than twice the price..!), so whats the sound quality like?
Thats the only real thing putting me off with it being an unknown unit (ie not one of the 'biggies' - Alpine, Kenwood etc...)

h2ypr.......any update, I'm seriously looking at this head unit too. a pic or two in situ would be cool, Have you hooked up a tv aerial to it, a brief summary of good and bad points would be great.

Right. Had it fitted for a few days now, and i tried to get access to the rear of the unit and ended up snapping one of the RCA connectors (not very well made).
The unit needs persuaded into place and the centre console sorta flex'es around it. The screen quality is ok on dvd's, but when its showing a list of mp3's be careful what you name the folders because i basically can only tell what artist it is, and nothing else!
The sound quality seems good, even tho im only running alpine 60w rms front component and stnd rear speakers and a 1200w sub with 1600w amp in the boot.
Songs without bass are very clear but im not gonna lie, its not a top of the range unit. The screen quality could be better and clearer, all the connectors need terminaled to fit because its so different and it has no subwoofer control, although there is ONE rca for a sub..... dont know how that works!

Can you recommend it for the price? When you say "all the connectors need terminaled to fit because its so different " do you mean the leads have no connectors on them and need terminals fitted to them or what?

Not. They have wires comming out. Just that you will need to prep half the wires to fit them. I think its worth the money to be honest. But dont expect it to be AMAZIN. Although im perfectly happy with it!

Yeah. the reason for it is the metal bar and the angle it sits at. I think where you and I have it sitting looks well cool tho. Ross

Modern headunits should come with compatible with ISO plugs, hmmm im tempted just cant decide between the Hong Kong one and the maplin one. The main difference that I can see is that the screen is on the other side.
