Double Din GPS AV CD Player for my Nissan Patrol GUIV

[Robert Petruccelli]

Hi Guys,
CAn anyone tell me where in Brisbane I can buy a 2 Din GPS AV CD Player, I would like to pick one up rather than buyiong online on Ebay and has anyone bought one yet and what is the resolution like.

I did buy one from EBay. Paid $500 delivered - including a reverse camera. I have just come home from a 3 week trip to Kangaroo Island and it worked really great. The same system bought locally was priced at $2700.

It is a DIGIROO brand (yeah I know it is a ridiculous name) - but I am VERY impressed so far. It is an AM/FM radio, reverse camera, GPS, runs OziExplorer, shows DVDs, has a digital TV (although I have not used this function yet), runs an SD card full of hundreds of my favourite music tracks. I am STILL finding things that this device can do.

For $500 - I think I got a bargain.

I know you don't want to buy online, but believe me you can save $'000, just a matter of finding reliable dealers.

If you are OK with "no name" brands then have a look at this site, they have lots of good stuff, typically what you would see on ebay, only a lot cheaper.

I can vouch for their service, 5 days from order to delivery.

As for quality, well its the old adage I guess, but for a few hundred dollars you are miles ahead.

I bought one of these a month or two ago and so far it works great. It runs IGO 8 and OziCE no problems.

Does anyone know which CD player to ISO harness suits a Patrol IV?

I want to get a new double din head unit and want o install myself.

Cheers

Had a Chiptronic installeda few months ago. Does all those things. With reverse camera for the Patrol and one for the caravan it all came to about $1700. Impressed with it's performance. The only thing I dont like, well two things, it wont display Iphone controls on the screen (bluetooth). It was a function that was verbally explained to me. Also the Ipod controls wont display on the screen. Same explanation. Apart from that pretty good.

Nearly 6 times what I paid for mine though mate! Sure they are an awesome unit, but I just went for as much function for price as possible and low and behold, that's what I got. Works a treat thus far!!

I'm with Bigrig on this, Why on Earth would anyone spend upwards of $2,500k on a head unit that fundamentally works identically to the $500 unit off ebay. for those maths the ebay unit could blow up3 times and i could get bored and rip t out and throw it out the window twice and still be in front.

Buy one off ebay mate, pick your seller, an Aussie seller if you need to, someone with a very high bulk positive feedback score and you are as right as rain.

I have been buying HID kits off ebay out of Hong Kong with a turn around time of 2 to 5 days for years and never ever doubted the purchase.

When it comes time (shortly) to grab a double din head unit it will be Ebay all the way for my GU IV.
