Bought one similar off ebay for my last car and it came from hong kong (touchscreen, GPS, TV, DVD) and it was great. played everything: divX, mp3s, WMA quicktime, played from dvd's, SD cards, USB thumbdrive. GPS worked fine, bluetooth for the phone was fine also. In a nutshell it was a great buy compared to $1000+ for a name brand unit. I could burn dozens of DivX movies onto a DVD and had hours of entertainment.

The instructions were a bit engrish and took a bit of work to figure out some of the bluetooth stuff but everything else was simple.

IMHO.

So i cheaped out and bourght the cheap HK Ebay one... And i am surprisingly happy with it :yes:

once i re-arrenged the front speakers to come out of the rear channel and vice versa, it made the GPS SO MUCH better.

All in all its certainly no $2000+ 7" GPS Touchscreen Audio Player... but hey, it does the job nicely.

It fits nicely, but the gear stick gets in the way when you eject disk in 1st, 3rd and 5th, but that woulde happpen with any Dub Din stereo i guess.

The sound quality is great too, i don't have it through running an amp, just through Focal 6.5" fronts, and it still sounds very clear at high volume

can you please take close up shots of its front and also tell us the brand/model# if known? There are quite a few of these yumcha units on ebay both from HK and local ranging from $200 to $500 and visually there doesnt appear to be any difference between them except price

Yes it has USB, it isnt so good because its at the front and has the "Generic Camera Plug" on the face of the sterio, they give you the adaptor cable with it...

I havn't even tried out the bluetooth...

and the map on it is well up to date, i havn't tried to update it yet. and it is MUCH quicker than my NAVMAN when it comes to directing you around the place, really quick on getting you back on track when ya miss the turn :P

the restriction to a max of 2GB SD card i would say is the biggest bummer with it, but then again, it was only $470 :P

Anyone know if when this says iPhone ready, if the bluetooth will connect to iPhone and allow you to do dialling through the unit?

Really interested in getting one of these too given the feedback so far!

Pat, now that you've had it in for a while longer, is there anything else you found annoying about the unit?

Is there any info on how to update maps later on? Do you just have to download maps from "other sources"?

Also.. how does the TV reception fare?

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
