GPS/DVD Hong KongHead Unit Gen 6/Rear spoiler

[Spider]

Just thought I would give you all a heads up.

I bought a Head unit on Ebay in August last year From Hong Kong for my Gen 6 2007 Camry Altise, 2.4.

About two weeks ago it started playing up.

It looks exactly like the unit for sale in melbourne I have seen posted in this forum and runs all the same stats, so I am guessing the one from Melbourne is probably sourced and resold ex- Hong Kong.

The unit itself looks great and was plug and play as described, allowing the steering wheel controls to be used etc.

But as stated, about two weeks ago the Satnav component started to play uo, it has a 7" touch screen and it was "jumping"

all over the place as if the screen was being "touched"

Then last week the DVD/CD player and the radio sterted doing the same thing, so the unit is pretty much usless now.

It came with a 12 month warrantie and so I logged onto Ebay to contact the seller, Voway.

He was a "powerseller" but is no longer listed!

So i searched for a similar unit and found one for sale that was identical in every aspect of the ad including text and

photos.

Seller is Autome.

Contact the seller and got a reply 3 days ago, with him/het using thier hotmail account, lo and behold it was Voway, the same person who sold me the unit trading under another name.

To be fair to this person, it is a holiday over there and Voway said I would be contacted soon.

I have since heard that the software the Chinese use is a bit dodgy but am hoping the unit can be returned for warrantie/repair.

Loved the look, sound, bluetooth and reversing camera.

Plus it was a factory type fit.

Will let you all know how I get on.

I also bought an Aurion style rear spoiler from a lady in QLD painted and delivered for a tad over 200.

Had it put on, looks the biz.

Much better than that little "lip" spoiler that is the only factory option.

Finnish was good, it was made in Taiwan.

Just have to be careful when closing the boot now as it tends to slam as the extra weight is an issue.

The car itself is great.

An ex rental that I picked up with 95k on it for free!

It has a rumble in the front that is annoying and loader when going through sweepers.

But theer is evidance of the car being "curve hopped" and my mechenic believes the wheel bearings are to blame.

No apperaet "play" though so he thinks I shoud just put up with it for now until I have the spare cash to get it done.

Anyway chaps, chat soon.

Okay gang.

The seller contacted me and so on Saturday I removed the head ubit and put the standard unit back in.

PITA that I found a missing bolt and clip, from when the unit was "profesionally" installed.

There is also some surface rust on the metal sections under the centre console.

The standard head unit sounds like crap after having the other unit in.

Keep in mind that if you buy from O/S returns cost big $'s.

$74.00 to mail it back to China.

Will let you know how Autome looks after me on the repair.

Spied.
