icar-tech Alpha V800

Featured Replies

I have just bought one of these http://www.icar-tech.de/html/products_v800.php it has absolutely everything I could ever want in a stereo as a, its not from china, b, the germans dont make anything bad, and c, its the only one I could find with DAB.

 

As I have been unable to find an English speaking video, I will be posting a recording once installed and posting it on here for you all to see.

 

Looks great on paper, just looking forward to it being installed :-)

Hello,

 

am looking for something like this, however it seems a lot of money for a hu without much reviews,

 

what you think of it and is it worth the money ??

 

Kindest Regards,

Sorry for the delay, it isnt cheap but it takes away the worry of purchasing a stereo from China.  Although these are chinese made you have the benefit of having a German company that offers the warranty on the device. Im hoping to post a full review on the device soon.

 

The only issues I have found so far is that maps dont cover the UK, so had to download my own sat nav software, so if you have to pay extra for the sat nav software, dont.  they wont work here.

 

cheers

Another issue I have had is that the front facing camera they sell that works with this device is not compatible with windows 8, im trying to find a solution from them at the moment.

So, an update, if you are after a stereo with Android, DAB, SAT NAV, bluetooth and everything else you could ever want then this is the device.  No, im not on commission but I am just VERY happy with this,  

Hello.

 

Are you still getting on well with this stereo?

Have you found any issues with the radio reception, i see from the German Amazon site there are a few issues reported with radio signals on both the DAB and analogue.
