Hi Guys,

 

I'll post some pics once installed. Only just ordered it from the USA so should receive next week. 

Looking forward to listening to my own music and being able to talk on the phone legally. Some of the specs as per below. I ordered with Australian maps on a 64Gb mini SD storage CARD, OBD2 port accessory, reversing camera and remote microphone.

Hmm interested in this...let me know how that goes after installation. You should be able to plug and play most of it?

Received a text saying I'll be getting it today seeing as it only left on the 14th of June. I'll be spending Sunday afternoon doing the install. Here's the link if anyone wants a better look.

Our Aurion is going to be the test bed for our ML350, If I like it then I'll be getting one for the Mercedes with the MOST kit to suit the fibre Harman Kardon system.

Woo Hoo! So i got this unit installed in our car. Works as stated. The image quality is unreal as per pic of Bob Marley its advertised as 1080p. i added a reversing camera as per link and it all worked first go once i  installed it, no mincing about with PAL or NTSC format. I purchased the external mic but didn't end up fitting it as the standard mic does a good job, no background noise was heard once i adjusted the mic gain to its lowest setting. (i do this on all our cars, takes the background sound right out). I have a 4g dongle that the unit connects to for internet for now. 

the sound EQ is awesome i'm still running the standard speakers. i don't think they'll last too long as the amp in the unit is rated at 4 x 45W, the speakers are already rattling.  

the only thing that I really noticed was that FM range was reduced, but that's neither here nor there for me.

All in all a great unit and i would recommend to anyone, ill update with better pics during the day. its been pouring down here in Brisbane.

Had this unit installed now for one month and it's going great. Everything works as it should. The radio range is definitely a little less now but you only notice it when you leave the city limits. I only play music videos in the car now. Works great, with 780p resolution. The 2 second start up time is awesome. The OBD2 gauges on the unit are a cool feature. The dash cam runs off the second USB outlet and powers up when the unit does, the first outlet has my music videos and the iPod dock is connected also with a nano unit. Offline maps are a plus.

This might be something I'd consider -- I like the 2 second startup time. Other Android HUs or custom carputers seem to need about 30 seconds to start up. Do you notice any sounds coming from the HU itself with the engine off e.g. humming or whirring noises? Does it have any time alignment features?

[texasflysuperstar]

No humming noisies what so ever are emitted from this unit. It uses all the standard plugs for power etc so earthing is good. 

Unforunatly there are no time alignment features in the equalizer but I was still impressed with the quality. It's no top end unit like Audioson, Macintosh or Zapco but for the price you pay it does a good job. 

Ill post a video up so you can see the screen quality of you like.

Sounds great -- time alignment would have been a nice-to-have only as I would probably stick with the stock speakers anyway or just upgrade to some cheapo Kenwoods or something. Just really interested in the other features -- the missus will be driving the Aurion a lot and she doesn't really care about sound quality :P

It's ok -- I think your photos are good enough. Thanks!
