    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.

    ^^^^^ outstanding links!!!^^^^^

    I will be shopping there i think. Bargain Prices!

    Double Din for $262 plus shipping! That could be 10% of what you pay here! (that like paying Only the GST )

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    What a crack up. I was doing a search on Google for a double din multimedia stereo and look what website came up first in Google....This post...lol

    Anyways my friend and I have just ordered two of those 8gb digital video recorders to mount on your vehicle from that site. 2 of these cameras delivered to your door for $100 total..lol...Amazing!

    I'll let you all know if It's a big waste of money or the bargain of the century...LMAO

    It's amazing how cheap these things are getting. I think I paid $400 for mine about 14 months ago

    Some of the reviews I read were from Aussies using it for 4wding and motorbikes, etc and they gave thumbs up and a good review so fingers crossed.

    Hi all,

    I just installed one in my 2007 wagon last week. I did a lot of research, then ended up buying one from dig_options . It cost me around $530.00 They advertise on ebay. The biggest reason was that they were Australian based and offerred after sales support. Even before I recieved the unit, I received my first software update vie email. The reason given was that some people reported problems with their navigation software freezing (I haven't updates and don't have that problem). I do not think that you would get that sort of support ordering direct from china. Their unit also has a customised menu option that allows you to choose between street software and offroad (ozieexplorer) software. I am yet to use ozi, but the street software runs great.

    Anyway, I also bought two headrest DVD players ($190 delivered - from another seller) and have the auxiliary inputs of them hooked into the "2 zone" section of the head unit. This means that I can control the DVD's that are being played in the rear, from the front. That makes life a lot easier. Best thing is that once the DVD is playing in the back, I can then listen to my own music through the factory speakers and have the navigation screen showing on the main unit. The handfree works really well via bluetooth and repots from callers are that they can hear me really well.

    My dad had a unit that came with his x-trail. He said it cost him $2000.00. He noticed that my unit has exactly the same navigation software that mine has, but his unit is factory locked and he has to pay big money for map updates.

    It also has a USB cable that comes out the back. Ive got it just sticking out from the middle console and have a memory stick in it with music. I'm currently looking around for software so I can plug the USB into the OBDII plug (using an adaptor from ebay) and run some diagnostic software on the unit.

    Anyway, the system is awesome and I'm very happy with it. I am yet to install the reversing camera because I can't find a good spot to place it. I am waiting to get a full length roof basket because I think that it will be the best place to mount the camera.

    100% agree with the after sales service mate, that sounds like a good deal.

    I actually might have confused people here and I hijacked this thread as I bought something different but from the same seller..My posts were referring to a cheap digital video camera to mount on the vehicle...Naughty AB hijacking!!!!

    Good buy mate - definitely pays to hunt around, and hard to go past the prices on fleabay and the likes these days!!!
