Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition)

[SKurj]

Great thread, I just ordered one here

A bit leary of the made in china thing, hope i never have an issue with it. It came down to Toyota Blue Logic for the same price or something like this.

fingers crossed!

Interesting find. Looking forward to your installation and reviews.

^ It looks like you're doing everything correctly. I'm guessing you may have a corrupted SD card there mate, sorry.

I'd suggest you contact the seller again to get this sorted out.

Wich vesion of Igo are you using?
I'm thinking that version or syst.txt in my SD card can be the cause of initialization crash.
I really need your help. I can not count on my seller anymore... Apparently he sold me the unit without worrying about the after sales service!
Thanks.

I don't know if we have any resident iGO GPS Nav experts here on YW (and unfortunately I'm not one of them).

Everything is made in China, what is there to be leery of?

I am so happy I found this thread! We bought my DD a 08 Yaris and wanted to switch out the HU, we went to BB and were expecting to pay over 1K with less than and OEM look....which DD did not like. Instead we will be paying less than 500!!

I'm searching everywhere for a aftermarket deck that can display mp3 info in Chinese. Will this deck do it for me? If anyone would like to help I can send them a mp3 file. Just take a picture of the ID tag info. would finally end my long search for a new stereo.

[toy_toronto]

I thnk it might even be quicker just to shoot a question to the seller to confirm if Chinese id tags are supported:

Otherwise, I can probably check this for you so just pm me.

So I installed my unit earlier this week. It's the exact one you ordered Toy.

I have to say i'm VERY pleased with it. This unit works perfectly with my 30gig iPod. It charges my iPod and I love how you just connect it and forget it since all the playlists are accesible through the screen.

The Bluetooth works great. I have it set to connect automatically to my Blackberry as soon as I start my car. My friends have said there is a slight echo on their end but overall it works very well.

The iGo Navigation works great too. At first it wasn't picking up any satellite signal but then I went into the settings under advanced mode and changed the port. If anyone has any issues getting their GPS to work try this as a possible solution.
I really like the features and interface iGo has.

Even the sound quality seems much better to me.
Anyways just wanted to express my approval!

Excellent.. I am still waiting for mine.. chose EMS shipping option.. it mebbe awhile.

Glad you like it =)

I'm also still enjoying mine and so far no hardware issues whatsoever -- pretty solid unit.

My iPod always resets after turning the unit off. Is this standard for everyone else? Is there a way for the unit to remember where I was at in a playlist?

[toy_toronto]

Unfortunately mine is the same way, doesn't continue where you left off after you turn off the unit.

p.s. How's your car since the Vegas mishap... everything good?

[toy_toronto]

Hey ffourie, the HU's main face dimension itself should only be roughly around 200mm, and the 206mm they refer to is the "lip" where the Yaris stock bezel rests on top of... I hope this makes sense (?)

Re: iPhone mount, I also like it very much. I bought it from Best Buy before I got the double-DIN. It's a Magellan Premium Car kit and you can check it out from this link: http://www1.magellangps.com/iphone/i...pp_car_kit.asp



I have its suction cup mounted onto 3 stacked/glued hockey pucks sitting inside my cup holder, lol.

[toy_toronto]

Lol, for the record the hockey pucks idea isn't mine, but did originate from a member here who is also a Canadian

I'm also sure it will work (incl. the toyota specific harness) so you should be listening to music within 30 minutes from start of the install to finish.

Good luck!

Yup, back up and running. $1,000 USD and a weekend it's all it cost.

I ended up burning 2 gigs wort of music to a DVD instead of using the iPod. It picks up where it leaves off.

[SKurj]

Well mine arrived, installed today and all looks ok. (same unit as Toy's from look of it)

I had to file down one of the locating pins on the factory brackets but other than that all went well. The screen is abit difficult to read in bright sunlight, I haven't found much yet to make it brighter. Struggled saving radio stations but got that solved. GPS worked out of the box, just haven't actually tried to navigate anywhere.
Bluetooth hooked up, so far everything looks good. Just have to try a DVD, see if it reads the USB ok, and music on a 16gb sd.

So far quite happy with it.

[SKurj]

Ok one tiny issue...

The spectrum doesn't work.. well the screen is displayed but nothing moves i can switch between the 2 modes but none of the indicators move.
