have a few questions

[ikhan]

Not used this but I did come across this a few weeks ago and thought it looked well cool, much like the newer Meganes..... but its a bit pricey. personally, I'd rather buy the double-din that does everything and looks more genuine (which is also a bit pricey, but can be had cheaper)

[freelanderuk]

The thing that i like about it ,is it looks more factory fitted than a double din screen and there for less likely to get noticed when parked up, it is a bit pricey and can i justify spending all that money

[freelanderuk]

Nobody else have any thoughts or comments on this

[freelanderuk]

i found this on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O_eKF12NlI about these displays and it shows that the display that's already fitted is relocated to under the radio, the radio is removed and the new head unit is fitted there this is the dvd player and sdcard reader and other controls i have sold some camera len's and depending on answer's i get back i think i will buy this

Got to say i wasnt convinced when you first put this post up, but when you put the you tube clip up it looks so much better! How can you moan at that price? I remember buying a pioneer cd player with the dolphins swimming on it for about the same 10 years ago!
I dont think double dins look un-factory, just that the viewing angle is nowt special, and if you want more features the price goes up. For an all singing, all dancing double din you will pay at least double the cost of the this you've found. The only thing i'd check is if the display dims with night time driving.
If anyone says its chinese rubbish, lets be honest, everything is made in china these days. Give it a go and if its not up to much 'm sure you'd be able to sell it on again.

thanks for reply , that's one of the questions asked and also about the steering wheel control's , it mentions can-bus system in the blurb about it ,i have a 2006 cc face lift and don't really know if its can-bus electrics, if the questions are answered ok i will be buying and post a report up , they are uk based so going to phone this morning and have a chat

Yours will be canbus if you have the update list stereo. It changed from about 2005 (55) but you can get either in that year.

Thanks, I do have the update list stereo so that's one question answered, got to phone the shop this afternoon for answers to my other questions

[freelanderuk]

have just bought one of these ,phoned the shop and bought and got a 8% discount on price ,should be here next week
this is the company that make them https://www.witson.com/en/products.html , it looks as thought it also does the seat belt lights on the side of the screen , dims when turn your lights on, the display fitted already moves down to the space under the radio and will do the steering wheel controls, will post some photos when fitted
