Hi all,

When I got my Delorean 6 years ago I fitted it with a very basic 95€Kenwood radio with CD. It is no great deal, the quality of sound isn't either, but I was happy with what I got.

But now I was thinking to get me a better one, preferably CD, DVD, MP3, radio bluetooth and GPS. Din 1 radio's are not that easy to find anymore, so I have been searching the internet. I liked the parrot a lot, but it has to go online, and when I drive into Germany or France that is expensive and stupid.

I do not like the radio's which have a 7 inch screen that opens up, it is too big and blocks the vents. (on my daily driver I always turn of the screen when dark because it is so bright) So I was looking for a radio that had a screen in front. I saw this 4.3 inch screen radio front that reads DVD's. I have a lot of great music DVD's of which I want the sound but not the vision. (little dangerous to watch TV and drive) and a bluetooth for the phone is also nice. I could not find a GPS in this format, and I have been warned that these Chinese radio's with GPS do not work that well.

But I like this one. Look at the pictures. It does not have a brand. It is also for sale in the US, cheaper in the US but becasue the formats are different I'll buy it here in Belgium. But the screen is deeper than regular. I am afraid it does not fit with the light and hazard button.
Anyone knows this radio? It that any good? Anyone has experience with 4.3 ich screen radio's? Picts would be nice!

thanks for your help,
Jan

LOL it's so cheap - the name tag fell off before they could take the ebay picture ? LOL

I had a similar cheap radio a few years back. Don't know if they have really improved yet.
What I found so far is that they have installed even more functions that don't work.
Imagine you sit in the car and it always plays the same song.
You wanna hear song #300 on your DVD ? push that button 299 times !
It plays videos ? but only in one strange size and format ?
It has navigation but then radio does not work in parallel ?
It has bluetooth and works with your fone ? perhaps ?!?!?!?!?

I don't regret that I have spent some more bucks to get the JVC I mentioned about 2 weeks back.
New thread, same question -> try SEARCH.

The screen comes too low and does not fir with the buttons below, so I dod not buy it. 180€ is not that cheap, it has no GPS.

But interesting you say that. What radio is available with a front screen, DVD and bluetooth that works fine?
Maybe I should post a seperate thread for this.
