For anyone who has issues with the GPS with the HU like I got, once you get that .exe file correct it will stay fixed. Mine is fine now. One thing I did notice with the GPS is that if you set a route and reach your destination, if you don't delete the route, it still thinks you are trying to reach your destination, even though you've already been there. My wife was listening to the radio yesterday and the dude on the GPS was trying to tell her how to get home again. lol!

On mine, I still cannot find that menu again that allows me to play video from the MicroSD chip. It picks up music automatically from it, but there is a menu somewhere that allows me to choose what I want from the chip. I can't find it again. Need to keep looking I guess. Found it by accident the first time.

So far I love the player though. Well worth the $415.00.

Well, my gps is not working...... I changed the path for the software and it does stay there but nothing happens. The other thing is that when I press the navigation button i see a little lock icon for a few seconds.

Also does anyone know what is the maximum GB capacity for a micro SD card on this unit?

Thanks

Sorry about the GPS. I wouldn't even know who to call about it.

I have an 8gb MicroSD card in my unit.

Just ordered mine, had some issues finding the same one as the original OP had, there was an aussy seller on ebay but it wasn't the same (I think this is the one you bought Chrisj). But the description didnt say it had Picture-in-Picture so I decided to go with US one that was same as Toy's. $480 Aus shipped. Love the US$ exchange rate at the moment :)

Well, mine has a problem. This morning when I started the car, the gps went through the setup routine completely. Had to set the language, etc. Now the GPS is inop. It states there is no receiver attached, and when you're on the map page, it shows a satellite with a red line through it. I also noticed the radio screen flicker 3 times today, but it never stopped playing. The GPS antenna is still connected, so I'm at a loss.

Fixed! I had to turn off the GPS receiver, and then allow the radio to search for it. It was found, and is working fine now!

I just noticed that this will not fit the space without modifications for the 2010 model(Philippines). I need to replace the center panel of the dash board and it's gonna cost me around $200 more.

I routed the wiring to the right door, I went behind the glove box, and the right side of the dash will flex enough to get the connector through. I pulled the rubber door seal away from the body, and ran the wiring between it and the body, then used my hand to reinstall the weatherstrip. I attached the antenna lead to the washer hose with wire ties. The left side of the black plastic trim just pops in place. It's easy to remove, and install the antenna.

Installed and running. I had the same problem as the others with the GPS not finding the right file. But cleared it up thanks to those who posted their same issue here.

It really was so so simple to install, although we originally where confused as to what cables were what as nothing had labels and the instructions where only on the software not the connection. But by matching size for size we figured it out! And i scratched part of the dash plastics getting it in and screwing about undoing the orignal deck...grrr.

My only problem now if that I only have the SRC light that is red. And the two either side of the DVD slot. No other lights work and I can't change the colours through the settings....anyone else had this or would know what electrical connection might be loose for me to plug back in??

To set the colors of the other LEDs, go to the "SRC" screen and touch the small icon third from the right on the bottom. Pressing it again will change the colors. Note that the SRC led is always red.

Hello,

OK, I'm hooked and ready to buy (money in hand and pay day over!). However I want a HU that looks like the OP (toy's, ect) and not the one with the radio dials midway down on each side, I think Dragracer got this one.

Can someone point me to the right one to get please, don't want to get scammed out 400 big ones.

The one I was thing is linked here off of DHgate.com site -

Thanks

Looks to be the unit that you want. Price is about right also about 400-420 with shipping. I bought the one off of eBay, simply because I have no experience with DHGate, and I trust the eBay Buyer Protection. The one I just located on eBay is http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-DVD-Player-G...item4aa5961ad5 but looks to be slightly higher with shipping.

Anyway, good luck!
