Here is an update:
Myself and another member on DriveAccord are purchasing a unit to do a full review on. Right now the single unit price is $900. That price will only go down as we add people for the group buy. I need to know if you are interested and if so, if you need single or dual zone climate control If you have single, I am going to be helping the company test a harness to make it compatible with single zone, so that one is not 100% ready yet. Nevertheless, more people means cheaper price. Feel free to ask me any questions as I feel I have good knowledge of the product as of now before my purchase. The OP has the original thread link to DA and feel free to look. I will attach a few real pics as well. Thanks guys and let me know.

how much are they paying you for this?

LFSoccer2k6

I am making nothing. I so badly wanted Navi, and OEM was just so damn expensive. I happened to be the one to take initiative on this and I am spreading it around to hopefully benefit others. I have almost 20 people now who are in on a group buy. Maybe I am just a nice guy or I am way too excited about this, either way, I am not getting anything out of this.

Ok. So you're all good? Want me to add you to the group buy? The head unite has a lot of pretty good features.

PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT MY REVIEW. THIS IS KINGMOOCOW FROM DA.NET:
Well aside from my issues with heat and non-working speakers, which may or may not be isolated to my 6-6 coupe with special premium crossover stereo.

From messing with it tonight, here's my initial thoughts:
(it's too dark to get good pics, I'll do that tomorrow. Since I have AC issues, I haven't buttoned up the dash since I know I'll have to be taking it in and out)

Bootup time for the whole unit is fast, 10 seconds maybe? I'll video it or something.

The interface is pretty, and reasonably smooth. The touchscreen is responsive.

The GPS antenna mounted under the center dash cover works fine, there's a little niche it fits in nicely, though nothing magnetic there - double side tape might do the job there, the GPS is dead accurate and syncs up fast for me. Routes take a little longer to process than on my TomTom.
There IS auto-night colors. I dont' know how it's determined, but it definitely has a mode for it, and it was in night colors tonight when I got it online.
It has 2d/3d mode, trip computer, and POIs, though the POI database is kinda weak. I believe you can add new POI databases.

The Radio is good, good reception and is easy to use.

I haven't played with the DVD/iPOD/Bluetooth, etc yet, will look at those tomorrow.

I didn't notice if the color mismatches in the trim, I'll see tomorrow in the sunlight.

The steering wheel controls are easy to map, and you can even map them to do other things like mute, power, or operate the bluetooth. I set mine to do the obvious: mode, ch+/- and Vol+/-.

YOu don't have to turn it off before shutting off the car. It hibernates with power-down and picks back up where you left off when you start it again.

Here are the 2 quirks that I noticed:
The inside temperature settings on the A/C, are in Celcius, no Farenheit option. This is annoying to me, but not itself a deal breaker. I can tell the higher number is warmer. So, it's Lo, 19-31, then Hi.

It beeps. When you push the buttons, Per Simon, this cannot be disabled. He says that "Nobody complains about it"
and I admit after playing with the unit for a while, It didn't bother me anymore, except while tuning the radio, while it's beeping a lot.




So -- ike, Simon wants us to see if you have audio or Heat control issues in your EXL V6 sedan, it's more like what they have in China, that they based the unit spec on... So, sorting out my issues will come after you let us know if your heat and all speakers work

dleccord

it doesnt seem to flush well with the dash.

LFSoccer2k6

just barely. its not a bad unit at all though

LFSoccer2k6

with the group buy, the more people the cheaper. probably somewhere between $700-800 maybe. no way to tell yet.
