Finally bit the bullet and bought a columbus from e-bay. fitted already and getting it coded for maxidot later today

Looks so much better than my aftermarket double din jvc. Just need to save some pennies for bluetooth.

Schweet, so tempted to get one of these, but if it doesn't make the car go faster or stopper quicker it will have to wait.

Looks really good, thats my next mission to get the mrs to realease the funds for ;-)

I do have an oem bluetooth kit though that i will be wanting to sell soon, I fitted a blolero, bluetooth and mdi kit to my o8 octy L & k and now have to send it back to the dealer (the car) because of one or two 'issues' covered in another thread. The new L & K comes with bolero and bluetooth so the bluetooth will be for sale, let me know if you are interested.

unfortunately, probably have no money spare till late in the year or possibly next year, but thanks

I fitted one to my VRS and still love it every day!

It is a really good piece of equipment and people are surprised that it has an SD card and hard drive. I've not got bluetooth as I can't justify the outlay for the amount of use I'd get out of it and I still need to get it fully coded in to the car.

Enjoy!

How did you decide which was a reliable source for a Columbus on Ebay, or did you just take pot luck

Technically, it's heavier. So (in theory) lower acceleration and longer stopping distances*. :giggle:

(* yeah yeah, I know, but technically it's correct. A Kindle gets heavier when full of e-books too!)

looked at the feedback and a bit of pot luck
