Mate of mine has one in his car and it is surprisingly good for the money. Takes USB and SD/MMC cards.

Seems pretty well liked

seems a good idea and very good price too, i would want to see/hear it before buying though. seems too cheap

Goochie · 19-10-2005, 12:28

Its a Novatech!! NOO NOOOO NOOOOO........

We have several IT related items her ethat are Novatech, steer clear, they're all useless unreliable heaps of junk.

The stuff they sell is cheap for a reason.

**VRStu** · 19-10-2005, 12:33

It's not Novatech's own though.

I live not far from them and used them for years, some stuff is pretty crap and you do get what you pay for, other stuff is ok. They are all as bad as each other, ebuyer, simply, watfords you name it.

That's odd. I've been using a PC built from their stuff for 5 years with no problem.

Have bought six computers for us and other people, and countless items from them in 10 years ...never had any problems

Goochie · 19-10-2005, 13:32

We have 3 desktops and 2 laptops.

Both laptops have had to be returned for numerous reasons including dead finger pads, dead keys, daed patches on screens, big bands of dead pixels.

The desktop machines are or similar spec to other brand machines yet they consistently have more problems with crashes etc. despite having identical installatuons.

I must admit I wouldn't buy one of their Lappy's. Had one to look at for someone a little while ago, didn't like it.

Goochie · 19-10-2005, 13:45

Getting back on topic - that head unit seems very reasonable.
