2 DIN Stereo for Vitz 2008

[jordanleegauci]

Hi everyone :)

I am thinking of updating my factory stereo (Toyota Vitz 2008) and was looking at this product on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151314351955?_trksid=p2060778.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Looks good. Any thoughts?

Cheers.

EDIT: Bought it, will post pictures and review when it arrives.

That didn't take long.

The problem with those winCE units they usually use very crappy amplifiers or their DAC is crap. I have an Xtrons and I swear I will never put it on my Yaris.
It does the job though on our old civic...

Personally, I am not looking for high quality sound. If it performs like the factory stereo, that's good enough for me. I just wanted to upgrade to add a reverse camera (which I have yet to purchase) and navigation. Tomorrow, will try and connect it and will post results.

Sure thing, but most Toyota HU are built by Fujitsuten, which are amazing quality.

I think some recent ones are Panasonic.

Just installed it! Sound quality - Amazing, better than expected really!!

Navigation (iGo Primo) works well. Easy to use and good quality!

I apologize for the quality of the pictures, they were taken with an iPad :) this is a very good quality stereo which is not very expensive and has a number of cool features. Perfect fit as well.

Regarding screen quality, it's visible in direct sunlight. The touch screen is resistive which is a bit of a drawback however response is ok. Navigation works perfectly. Has 2 USB inputs with iPod support which is still untested. Bluetooth works very well for calls and music.

Resistive touchscreen will become a plus if you ever wear gloves while driving!
