just seen this on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Din-Car-DVD-GPS-Player-SKODA-OCTAVIA-I-BT-iPod_W0QQitemZ250594439754QQcategoryZ156955QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3907.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D20%26pmod%3D260564883514%26po%3DLWI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4850971151677264200 what do you guys reckon, is it a chinese import, even though its being sold through a british outlet with 12 months warranty ?

Yes, thats a chinese import. Notice they dont show you any pics of the unit working, this is because the display itself is very basic and quiet poor in design.

so not worth the money ?

And there'll probably be a mass of wires which could run a small city's telecommunications network to squeeze behind the dash :S

...and listed amongst the accessories is an 'iron rod'

Presumably to beat it with when it doesn't work properly!

i know its very cheap compared to oem kit, but would it still do the job ? it still has a 12 month warranty.....

I plodded for one of these recently very happy with it and a perfect fit.

This seller ships from the UK also. The iGO8 satnav beats tomtom hands down. Bluetooth integration is very good and the wiring harness is spot on, clips straight in.

You usually get what you pay for, and judging by some past chinese unit purchasing on here you may well need the 12 month warranty.

What a great unit - you can actually watch TV whilst navigating, and presumably using a mobile phone AND driving all at the same time

I'll stick with my MFD3

I'd steer clear. The 'get what you pay for' adage has never been more true...

how about this zenec ? its made by a german company http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/zenec-zemc5600-bluetooth-screen-ipod-skoda-p-15523.html should be better quality than a chinese make

Same money gets you a Columbus though. Yes, I know they aren't perfect but it just looks 'right' in the dash.
