Has anyone tried one of the below?

All I can find is the model no ISD-V001N, but reading the reviews it sounds quite reasonable.

Probably not quite as good as some of the dual core units available, but it's £113 if you buy via the mobile app.

I'm quite tempted.

Seems quite good for the price!

I don't think it's Android based. Also they can ship from the UK

Yeah I saw that too, so no import duty either.

Windows CE based so lots of other Navigation apps available

Hmmmm very very tempting. Anyone know if this fits in place of a bolero without a new surround?

The image in the link with the installed one and a Skoda badge would suggest not. The facia in that has the recesses, whereas a Bolero fills in those areas.

I had the Rcd510 in mine which measured 220 x 130 & it has the Columbus suround

You know what, for that kind of money, its worth a punt!

That's what I'm thinking too. The seller says they're getting some more stock in their UK warehouse next week.

I've seen a Russian review on YouTube, and looks fairly responsive too.

It will definitely need the Columbus trim piece though.

The Columbus surround is a bloody fortune @£50 odd but you can get a Chinese one for £20 delivered of the bay

Thanks guys

Would this be easy to install on a PFL octavia? 55 reg. I have a stream mp3 in place at the moment. Would there be issues with battery drain?

 

Thanks

I've asked about the battery drain as mine is also a 55 reg, and they say it can be sorted.

Oh ok. Do you know how costly that will be to sort out?

I think it's either a setting on the device or changing a cable around in the plug.

They said that if there is a battery drain problem, let them know and they'll send instructions on how to fix it

It will be a new cambus gateway probably gents but you can try

I'm not so sure. I've asked them to clarify how to stop it happening.

This is the fix for stopping the battery drain:

 

 1.before install ,do not connect red wire together on our dvd power cable . 

 

2. if find that backlight can not turn on after remove key from car , then pls cut off orange wire on our dvd power cable .

Keen to see how these turn out, sound quality wise and useability wise also.

 

Is there an Android version so I can use Waze with it?

Has anybody taken a punt on this? Looking for a new satnav after my TomTom was fried by an after-market charger.
