Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with one of those chinese special headunits from ebay that do gps dvd and the rest..

There are so many, are any better then others?
Any feed back would be appreciated..

welll it does the job, just the matter of the brand in front. All other brands are the same if that they have the brand that everyone else knows about it

When you say rubbish, what do you mean?


Have you purchased one and it didnt work?

I have installed a few already, one of them last almost 1 yr then just totally dead, and some of them last a few months, the display interface is not nice at all, so its really up to you maybe if you are lucky can last forever, but definitely not for me . . .

agree with aka nsx
never had one personally
but they might be ok for basics (headunit with speakers running of headunit)

but a few mates had amps running of the as well
and rca outputs blew in like few weeks

Pioneer is good but that is only 5.8" and is US model maybe the Mapping won't work here,

I have got Kenwood with built in Nav but BT optional

Kenwood will be releasing the replacement of my screen, and everything will be built in according to my friend in Kenwood, ATM Kenwood still finishing their old model so it may worth the wait

I have one of those yum-cha headunit's they okay. It's bit's and pieces put together... it's like say a pc with say windows xp, then to play mp3s you gotta launch winamp, then if you want to play dvd/divx you gotta close winamp then run say windows media player.

depends what you want it for... if you want quality then well dont get it, its shit. if you want to run gps here and there or maybe play some dvd's or xvid's it will do the job. but cheap and quality dont really mix with these units.

integration and functionality is extremely basic, does not compare with the quality brands.

I think alot of ppl in Australia who are used to having much higher quality products marketed here (due to the high costs of launching a product here successfully) don't realise that there are products out there which have crap all in the design/planning of the user interface. This is most noticeable on things like mobile phones- I've used a few of my friend's Chinese phones which have shocking interfaces which whilst they look pretty and sound good on a specsheet, are just not useable. I'm inclined to think it's a similar situation for these all in one headunits.

i suggest pioneer avicf900bt. the unit has bluetooth, ipod, whereis mapping, plays divx. the bluetooth on it is parrot so you can update the bluetooth. only has a 6.5" screen. retails around shops $1800+

the kenwood stuff is always good but you have to buy a blue tooth unit to attach to the screens or to buy one with everything your looking around $2200+ via strathfield(use to work there). kenwood does look better but you'll be paying alot more to have what you want.
