Cheap Ebay Alternative to MFD2 installed.

wonderbadger · 26-06-2008, 13:46

Auberne, that does sound like a good price, was it including postage? I feel my wallet being wrenched from my pocket...

vimto2000 · 26-06-2008, 14:08

If anyone gets one that is around Manchester let me know! I'll be only tempted after I see one in the flesh. Too much money to be taking gamble!

Auberne · 26-06-2008, 14:42

OK, i bought it on Ebay for £329.99 + £35 postage = £364.99, which I think is pretty damn good for what the thing does (plus its the Skoda version apparently according to the item description).

Saved 13.16% (£50.00) off the Buy It Now price according to Ebay.

Yeah thats what i found too when looking, would be interested to see how you get on with installing the unit in your car and how easy it is to get satnav up and running

.
Are you fitting it all yourself?

If i've got some money left after next payday i think i might go for one

Auberne · 26-06-2008, 16:01

I will probably try, just to save money. This kinda rules out me getting a Maxidot this month.

T-1000 · 26-06-2008, 16:48

Igo 8 should work, working great on mine, you dont install it on the unit itself it runs off the SD card. You just select the exe file within the sat nav options. Just a tip if anyone is looking to buy in a group buy speak to the chap direct and you will get a better discount than going through ebay (rip off fees) I paid £350 for my unit which included postage and additional TomTom which he was charging £30 for so overall I saved £75 off his ebay price.

**VRStu** · 26-06-2008, 17:38

I prefer the look of the second version. These are shaping up to be really nice little units, especially if people start to write nice firmware for them.

I'm with you too Vimto

Need to see one

but my cash is burning a big hole in my pocket

S41NT · 26-06-2008, 20:53

Sweet, who's up for going for a group buy direct then??

See what price he will give us on 5 units+ ?

Unless anyone can find the one like Igorrs with the 2 sd slots at the bottom?

scouter2 · 26-06-2008, 22:48

Just to clarify things, does the unit interact at all with Maxidot? Either the radio or GPS or bluetooth?

sebulbus · 26-06-2008, 23:25

They'd sell 3x as much if that unit were open firmware so that everybody can reflash it to match their taste. Also USB on the back and/or wifi would be nice to have.

Looking at this pic...igoraladev â€” Â«P1000240.jpgÂ» Ð½Ð° Ð¯Ð½Ð´ÐµÐºÑ.Ð¤Ð¾Ñ‚ÐºÐ°Ñ…

You get a visual display for the reverse parking sensors! Is this with the factory fitted ones? Or is this something after market?!?!

Its getting awfully tempting! Might have to sell my Audience system to finance this! Just want to see one in flesh

As the units tend to be running Windows CE or Windows mobile in the background I would have thought they are relatively open to being modified to suit peoples tastes or provide extra functionality
