New Double Din Head Unit

I just did a google search and came upon this, It looks like the asking price is about $450. I think it comes direct from China. Didn't do much research but maybe someone will chime in:

I think there was a thread about this on the old gen 7...

If i remember correctly that was the AutoSoul Aftermarket Navi which was asking for $800. Same style different vendor i believe and for half the cost.

This looks just like the Autosoul unit that I followed over on Drive Accord, http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40811.

If it is, it is a huge waste of money and is in need of a lot of refinement before I would consider spending money on it. The guys who bought it over on Drive had all sorts of problems with it and the customer service on the unit was sketchy at best. The guy would respond to them and start to help them fix issues with the unit and then disappear for weeks-months.

At least they came down in price a bit, the original units were going for 900+

Maybe someone could take this unit apart and just fab a different double din H/U into the opening...

I would go the oem route for a Nav unit if not for that price you can get a nice aftermarket like pioneer or alpine

[Icebox]

one thing to take note of is that it only supports dual climate control.

That definitely looks like the Autosoul unit. With as much grief as the guys on DA got with this, I'm seriously leaning towards locking this thread. Its not worth the headache to get this unit unless you like reading your temps in Celsius, your HVAC not working properly most of the time, etc. These things are designed with the ASEAN market in mind. The US was not the target market for them.

Cheap Chinese junk.

The worst part is that when I saw the pictures of this thing installed over on DA, the picture looked totally photoshopped, and they did a shitty job at it too. I would not trust this crap at all, lol.
