sorry dude, that's not GTI interior, just dark grey regular ones..

the gps works well on the china units and the antenna is mounted inside the car

heres my lupo 1.4 coilovers wound right down had a few wee bits done here and there getting into most show and shine around my area and starting to get a lot of attention

I have two of these 'China 2Dins' as they're most commonly referred to. Both of which I've been very happy with and are still working today. The only thing with the advert is there are no screenshots of the user interface, so you have no idea what it's going to look like. Other China 2Dins for sale usually have a screenshot of every screen so you know what it's going to look like. The resolution on all these devices is usually 800x480 which looks very sharp on a 6.2 inch screen, not so good on a 7 inch screen. I recommend a 6.2 inch solid device over a 7 inch flip down. I have both styles and as nice as the 7 inch is, I can't get over the fact it sticks out of the dash so intrusively. So my daily has the 6.2 inch in. The sound quality is usually good but not exceptional, however for someone who just uses their car and isn't interested in subs etc it's fine. You can usually do a little bit of EQ'ing to boost the bass etc. I don't think the hardware is much different to the main brands, I think the software is where they get the better sound quality. The satnav will definitely be unlicensed but that doesn't mean you can't update it. You just have to do it manually. It takes all of 10 minutes and I prefer it to major branded satnavs which hold you at ransom for map updates.

Looks exceptional value - so the old saying "if it looks to good to be true it probably is". However, it's from a UK seller so unlike ones shipped direct from China you'll have some recourse through trading standards if it's a dud and also via EBay/PayPal if not as advertised - not to mention negative feedback. Feedback for the seller is good at 99%+ - trawl through it and see if anybody else has bought one and see if you can get feedback after it's installed and been running for a few days/weeks/months?

Seems too good to be true to be honest. The vast majority of those screenshots are almost certainly fake, the ones with the pretty ladies and fast cars showing on the screen. I doubt it has anything like that resolution. The satnav shots are probably real though. You might find that the specifications meet the advert but in the end the software is slow or unreliable and crashy. It could be unlicenced software so no updates etc. Having said that, it could be fine. What I would do is trawl the internet and try and find a review of another unit that looks exactly the same.
