Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition)

[Zebra]

Okay.... I was seriously considering the purchase of a Garmin Nuvi but after reading this thread I'm convinced that my money would be better used in the purchase of a new radio/cd/dvd/mp3/gps/bluetooth/kitchensink type radio. Since I HATE the stock radio in my car, I'm probably gonna change it someday anyway.

So I looked at the link that rognewton posted http://www.cardvd88.com but couldn't find the radio on the site. Is there a specific link? What price should I expect to pay?

LMAO, I love some of the translation descriptions. "The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when and where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

Didnt know the yaris could do space travel too!

Hi all,
great stuff on this thread.

1. Does any of these accept the Reverse camera?
2. Is it possible to get to the OS (WinCe I reckon)?

Thanks.

Hello,
I got this unit as the OP posted on page 1, and I did have the GPS and Radio working at same time. Was very nice, but......

However I must have hit the wrong button somewhere, and now just one or the other and they will not play with each other, at the same time.

any advise from those that have this unit?

Just enable the picture in picture. Hit the source button and select radio. Then turn on the PIP selecting GPS/Navi.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply enve1160, but that is not what i was looking for. The "dual zone" or 2-zone option is not working as it once was.

I was wanting to get back to the full screen GPS, with the radio in the backgroud (not displayed), when pressing src, i could choose the radio, select station, then src and back to GPS. I lost this when turning off the car, and then on again after going to the store. Now choosing radio or gps, will show full screen, but only one or the other is active.

This mode is called "Dual Zone" or 2-zone, and is a feature mentioned on the box/ manual.

From time to time, if choosing radio, then src to GPS window, the window will change to the specturm setup screen, with no volume coming in. closing this window brings the GPS window back, with no radio. the sound does work, as the click are heard in the speakers.

like i mentioned above, i must have hit the wrong thing, as the 2-zone option/ dual zone is not an option on the main radio page NOW. ugg.... wish the manual was better.

anyone experinced this same issue?
is there a hardreset option for this unit somewhere?

Sorry man thats the only way i know how to do it. If you figure it out please post so that i can do it to my radio.

Is there a way to "reboot" the radio? I mean, the thing is effectively a computer running WindowsCE and all the functionality of it are basically programs running on windows. Can you reboot WinCE or at least remove the positive power lead from your battery for a minute or two to "reboot" the radio? May help?

Hi, I was wondering, How do you update the maps and the software for the GPS? Because any other GPS you must update the software from time to time.

Thanks

No idea yet about downloading updated maps but the GPS app/device that came with my SD card is called iGO:

Oh ok, thanks alot I think I understand now. It has the IGO app on so you just update the IGO maps.

Thanks it helped alot

Also an update, I just ordered this off ebay and there's an ebay motors coupon to save 10% off your purchase, so it might be cheaper for some to get it this way as my out the door cost was 405$.
