Thoughts/opinions on this aftermarket Navi system please.
I'm looking to upgrade my audio 20 (5 in screen) in my car. Been doing a lot of research through out the thread. I was wondering what were you guys thoughts & opinions on this unit (from over seas) I found on eBay. Just wondering what you thought about it all the way around. Thanks in advance.

I think im just gonna bite the bullet & try it. Ive been emailing the site and they claim to honor returns so if its not what I think ill just lose the shipping back & forth.

hi my personal opinion is dont do it, as it would work out much better if you got it done by someone professional, where are you from?
i have recently got mine done and i have to say this is the best upgrade i have done

Dark Kent, i ment to say it would be much easier to get it instaled by a qualified person, as i have got mine done couple weeks ago and must say really useful upgrade, and the reason i say get it done by a profesional is because you need to do something on a computer to tel the car it has got the command now and also for the instuction to be shown on the centre when all your speed ometer is, and the fact its under guarantee and warante, and i also asked the technician why is their cheaper command systems online and i was told there could be anything wrong with them, or most likely stolen with a code on so you cant even unlock them, its a gamble really if your willing to risk it

Wow...both solutions look great. I have been looking into this for a long time, and my biggest concern is keeping the OEM look. These systems seem to keep the OEM look in the car.
Good luck with this and definitely let us know how it turns out. Maybe a DIY if possible.
Can't wait to see the end results!

Agree but OP want it to look like OEM.I for one is using a portable Navi with up to date World Maps on SD. Alerts me for Speed Cam, Red Light Cam, you're driving over the speed limit, etc... And best of all...I can use on any car

Man if this machine works as advertised it is exactly what i am looking for
Keep us updated re installation on operating problems. perhaps U Tube?
Also does it have to have cooling fitted like MB units

i have the one from jewellet in my car
overall i like it
once its installed it looks very good,
but i had a hard time to install it due to the wire and the
screen there isnt many spaces left
things i dont like : -the image isnt very good when the sun is facing it
-fm/am signal is not as good as before
- the clock is always changing the time when i turn off the
car
gps, dvd, iphone cable,bluetooth working good
didnot install the back up camera idont use it in my other car
here is some pics

I finally got mine. Shipping was pretty quick about 2 days. I had it installed professionally and overall it's nice. It performs as it says it should. The look is the same as the pics a few posts above. If you'd like some different ones let me know Ill take some tonight.
I can say that jewellet are very supportive with answering questions and getting back to you. The rear view cam is kinda ****ty as far as video quality goes but it works none the less. Oh and it's HUGE! You can see it a mile away. Lol.

the one u posted i believe is the same one from ebay i posted in the 1st post. double check that there isnt a separate dvd player that u have to install somewhere else like jl9j said.
the one from jewellet looks oem since they mimicked our stock radio.
