Ebay System - looks good but what do you think
Since I am new to modification, I would love to get feedback. What do you think of this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&it em=220298575819 1. I think it looks great 2. The writing is HORRIBLE so I am afraid that I will get it home and it's a piece of crap 3. I don't know how to install this kind of thing, so I was going to post an ad on craigslist. Advice is appreciated! |

Save your money and go with a something a little better. I'll be selling my Pioneer AVIC 900 for around the same price, and with that you can take it to any place to get it installed. Many stores will only install certain brands.
Running price for labor on installation for in dash nav is about 200 dollars.

I'd slowly back away from that eBay item and consider a different vendor.

Yeah for the price you can get a kit and a pretty nice deck from a reputable brand

The other issue is with the GPS. These bargain systems usually don't come with the GPS SW installed, and TomTom, etc. doesn't license their SW for this type of install. So, you would have to run a pirated version with no support...

Thanks for the feedback.
I think what attracted me to this is that it looked like it was original to the car. I really don't like the look of the gapping that comes with some aftermarket systems. I want it to look like it was always there. Will the pioneer deck fit flush? Will I still be able to use the aux in that came with the car? |
