Don't hold back Dave, tell us what you really think 

Don`t get me started on this one

No, please don`t.

Whilst I always welcome the emails and phone calls from you guys, that piece of ebay shite (and similar) causes more grief that you would believe. When people find that it is a piece of junk, parts are not available, they cannot be repaired and that the suppliers couldn`t give a stuff - Its usually my repair centre guys that get the full brunt of the owners anger when they realise that they have wasted their money. We probably get half a dozen calls a day for similar type of cheap shite imports and we are sick of it. If you cannot afford a brand new quality branded radio, then go for a cheap secondhand branded radio, but NEVER buy a cheap import brand that you have not heard of nor see retailed in shops in the UK.

A no would have been sufficient dave

If only . . . 

Just as a "for instance", if you search the bay of E, you will find a significant number of secondhand Pioneer AVIC double din head units, now whilst they would not necessarily be my own personal choice, (nowt wrong with them, I just prefer Clarion) many are only around 12 months old and come absolutely ram jammed with features from a well respected manufacturer - searches for Kenwood and Clarion will bring up similar.

A secondhand Pioneer which was around £700~£900 new can be picked up for £120~£200 with a warranty

So why on earth would anyone look at a piece of unreliable Chinebay shite that costs more than this?

I really don`t understand ?

Not seen many go for £120, but at £200 BIN, much better than Chinese tat:

Got one of those fitted in the Omega and love it. Bought it brand spankers for just over 200 quid if I remember right including all the cables.

And both of those units mentioned just go to prove my point entirely
