Pete, thanks for the quick reply! And thanks for the 'review', it's very helpful. BTW, as a matter of interest, what amp did you use? I am concerned about sound too and wondered if I might need something like this. Thanks again, Steve

Thanks, Ryan.

Appreciate your advice because I was a bit confused about these options. To be frank, I was not really aware there were options like an Alpine (any model recommendations). Do they stand alone or do I need to buy other bits like an amplifier? one of he reason I want to upgrade, apart from the extra features/functions, is that the sound quality of the original is so bad, particularly at low volumes. Thanks again for taking the time to reply and sharing your experience.

Cheers.

Hi Peter, did you install the unit, if so are you happy with it?

Hi folks,

I am looking for an after market head unit (GPS, DVD, bluetooth, USB, iphone, [DVB-T, reversing camera] etc.) and I am a bit confused. I have read this forum and elswhere and understand there are sone cheap Chinese units that fall short of the more expensive brand name units. I was hoping to find something in between for my 2009 Aurion, maybe around $600-$700. It looks like there are a couple of new-ish units available on the market and I was wondering if anyone has any expereince or knowledge about them.

The first is a unit that trades under a few different 'Tunez' names on ebay and their own web site.

The second unit is an android device which I think has been mentioned here by others. Both have 8" screens and similar features.

A local car audio dealer is pushing me to buy this Opal unit for around $1500:

Like I mentioned, I don;t know which way to turn for quality, function and value so I would love to hear from anyone who has any advice, particularly about the 'Tunez' units.

Thanks a lot,

Steve
