Hi everyone, I am looking at putting a double din DVD player / reverse camera in for my wife, but i am tempted price wise for some of the hong kong / china brands, anyone bought one and what was / is it like? thanks

I have a double din DVD player in my car that I bought off ebay, was only $300, came with GPS. Have had it in my car for over a year and have had no dramas with it at all, the only thing is the maps are slowly getting out of date and I have no idea how to update them, and the GPS stopped loading for a couple days once but then started working again lol. Mine does not hav the reverse camera so I cann't comment on that though.

Munkeymanz has one in his TW AWD, I had a look at it, it looks awesome and I'm considering getting one once my bank account recovers after my upcoming round of mods.

The only thing I'm worried about is the source quality. I'm no sound expert, but I'm pretty sure the "cheap" units wouldn't be able to output as high quality as the other "better" brands; and if the source is crap, it automatically makes the rest of your system crap.

Yes the Sound Quality will severely suffer. No decent premap or EQ not to mention T/A

I had one, absolute rubbish. Stay away!

Sound quality was appalling, the screen flip out lever fell off and the screen failed to closed properly. I pulled it out and put in a mid range Pioneer single din.

im with life, stay well clear...u can buy the clarion units on special for about 450-500 and made with alot better quality components than the crap of ebay

Clarion units are shit too. My mate has one and I has a serious engine noise issue with any amp. Fine with any other head unit.

Just pulled out my cheapie double din H/U for my old Clarion DXZ786USB - never had any issues with it.

Sounds like a fair swap!! Seriously we put one in a Hyundai and to be perfectly honest the sound leave A LOT to be desired. You pay for what you get as a head unit I would keep the money and buy a $150 single DIN sony from Supacheap next time.

I had a double din no-name brand in my WRX, loved it to bits actually. Wasn't too fussed over the SQ as I only ever used it with the stock speakers, the functions of the unit were really good though with; bluetooth, hd tuner, gps, ipod control etc. Was about $350ish.

Ive got a Xtron off ebay , the only issues ive had is the lights in the buttons are blowing , but not to worried

the good bits are the Bluetooth , I can play the music off my phone without plugging anything in , and every time you get in the car and start it , its already connected

Im just about to connect a amp and sub + fit up the reverse camera

you could still get a dud one , but Ive been lucky so far

eBay units are perfectly fine if your ears are broken and you don't mind bits breaking.

Let's not forget the hassles of warranty claims if purchased overseas. I bought a HID kit once and sent back the ballast as it died and never hear back nor got a replacement. I'll never get anything above $50 from eBay again. Especially electrical stuff

idk some decent parts come from ebay just wouldnt buy car audio from there

Ive seen a JVC KD-AV7100 for $370 im very tempted :D

Can't get much better bang for your buck than jvc.

Well i have been busy with my new baby, some times i just have to do other stuff. Doesnt change the fact that im still looking.

Well, I ended up passing on the eBay unit, I just think it will be just that bit too flimsy.

I got the Pioneer AVH8400BH, imported from the states. This one here, specifically (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007O0K9EG/sr=8-3/qid=1343088615/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1343088615&seller=&sr=8-3). It retails for just under $1000 at JB HiFi, got it for $550 shipped here. Have not had any problems and couldn't be happier with it!

I ended up getting Eonon G2227 works really well even got the reverse camera all for $250. Got gps maps from the bay working well.

I like the GUI Morsolo on your pioneer
