OPINIONS GO!
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/7-DOUBLE-DIN-CAR ... 256050cf22
Things to be noted:
- I only want something that will last around 2 years.
- Just something easy to use and okay display and functionality
- Will fit NICELY
- Interface can't be OVERLY cheap looking.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
You get what you pay for. I'd check that there is support for it in Australia.
It has an analogue TV tuner so quite soon you won't be able to watch TV as they are turning off the analogue signal. Your area may have already been switched off.
I'd go for 1 with a digital TV tuner.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
mmyeah I see...but also 2x the price :S. But really all I'll be using it for is CD/MP3/DVD. I'm sure we could all agree no free tv on the move isn't a great loss..

Re: OPINIONS GO!
For sure.
It might only last a year or two, would you be happy with that?
What's the phrase? "Pay half, pay twice..."

Re: OPINIONS GO!
I know someone who bought one of these from ebay and they have had
constant problems,it would only work sometimes but when it did it was ok.
It had to be sent back twice and it still has problems.Avoid.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
Well I say go for it. f**k who cares if it only lasts a year or two. The ones I get are double that price but I have been so impressed and never had a problem with mine.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
Ive bought 3 of the cheaper units now and never had a problem. If it only lasts 2 years, thats OK. Just buy another one when it dies (itll be time to upgrade anyway). I dont believe you get what you pay for with this sort of stuff unless you really appreciate high quality video/audio. Personally I cant tell the difference, so the extra cost is wasted on me. Also, generally the cheaper units play more file formats/have more functionality. To get an equivalent named brand expect to pay 3-4 times as much. To my mind thats not worth it. Can get some pretty decent mods with the difference.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
Wow, here I was thinking it costs $1500+ for a DVD player for in-car.
I just purchased my Clarion head unit for $550 (discounted) last year in Feb which is better than the cheaper JVC/Pioneer etc you get in places like jbhifi etc, and now you can buy in-car DVD players for $180 lol, talk about a major price drop.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
Its not recent. I bought my first 7" screen DVD player about 3 years ago now for $200. Just recently died, so just bought another with GPS and touchscreen this time.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
Actually, that one looks quite nice. Was avoiding the motorised face ones on ebay because they cant be inset into the dash and end up looking all boxy (they stick out about an inch). Looks like that one has solved that issue and can be recessed properly.

Re: OPINIONS GO!
I solved that problem with the sticking out.
I cut the metal at the back in the dash so it went back further.
