The FM reception is, frankly, poo and the app itself is poor, losing stations easily and not finding them again. But I may have a solution... I bought a cheap DVB USB dongle off ebay and installed Wavesink ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ses.wavesink ) and now I have DAB! I still ...

Video at http://youtu.be/tHFI62d2kCE Apologies for the poor camera work and hesitant commentary - it's my first time! :oops: Used the FM radio on a journey last night and found the reception is not nearly as good as the OEM radio, presumably due to the lack of the "Diversity" circuit. Will...

Sorry to hear of problems. I was hoping it would work out for you and to hear more about it, eventually I was planning to get one of these for myself as a "sampler". Postage costs you were charged are interesting, I looked at selling these directly units myself as I could probably get and...

I'm gonna go for this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201056209800?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Seems to better better spec'd than all the others i've seen. Dual core 1.6 instead of single 1.0 core. That's the unit I bought. Pretty happy with it so far. The vendor is very h...

i have just received my new erisin es 1278t multimedia unit special for vw canbus systems on installation found that i needed a fakra antenna adaptor, now received. the problem i am having is that soon after connection of the antenna the unit switches off, unplugging canbus adaptor and reconnecting...

How do I get inside the top of the dash? Unplugging the small plug has cured the turning off issue and battery drain and also seems to have stopped the parking sensor icon popping up. I got an answer from the vendor this morning on those issues - they suggested a fault in the wiring, so they were in...

Hoping I have found the problem. There was a small black plug in the harness that came with the stereo. There was also a matching socket with matching wire colours in the same harness, so logically I plugged them together thinking that they had come apart in transit or something. Seems I was mistake...

Well, that kinda confirms that the unit is not switching off properly. I go out to the car this morning and the battery is flat

I got the aerial adaptor yesterday and fitted the unit last night. Looks OK so far. Sound quality is very good (although I am not an audiophile) - I would say better than the OEM unit. Fits well. Looks good in the dash, although possibly a bit shiny for my SE model. Switching on, the unit boots up v...

It's here! First impressions: Looks nice - quality seems OK. Buttons maybe not so nice and consistent feel as OEM units. No installation instructions! Not a big deal as it should be mostly plug and play, however there are four wires on the harness that are not connected. These are labelled: Key1-5V,...

Expecting delivery today. \:D/ Did get hit for VAT/duty but only £26 so not too bad. Regarding the aerial - from looking on some other forums it seems that the B6 (and most later VAG group cars) has two radio aerials (on my estate, in the two rear quarter glass panels in the boot), possibly one for...

Well easyrising88 is one of the manufacturers own ebay accounts so youre buying direct from Erisin rather than some reseller which is good The vendor is being very responsive and helpful so far. It looks like it does not come with an aerial adaptor. I've seen single and double Fakra models - which ...

I just ordered one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201056209800
I'll post what I think of it.

Still deliberating. No DAB as standard, but this http://feilen-stolz.de/wavesink_android.php might be a solution.

OK, it's back in stock. Do I take the plunge???

Only thing I cant see clearly is if you could do away with neediing a 3G dongle by sharing your mobiles internet connection to it via USB or Bluetooth. Yeah, I am not sure about USB or Bluetooth tethering - USB may be possible I guess; Bluetooth I suspect not (I saw something on one of the ads abou...

.... will probably fit tomorrow afternoon. Let me know how you get on :-bd ...with the import duty 20% on touch screen headunits... 20% ! Wow :-o I can save the VAT if I order through my company (I need a handsfree kit and email access in my car, right ;) ), but can't do anything about import duty.

OK, I asked the vendor (of the unit in the OP) about the combo WinCE/Android thing and they came back with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=201056209800 which looks superb (apart from no DAB). Also much better spec - faster processor, built-in WiFi etc. Might even tempt m...

Thanks for the replies. So, something like this then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161245670498?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 It's a lot more expensive and comes from Hong Kong, so I am bound to get hammered with import duty and VAT. I'd also like DAB. In fact I'd rather have D...

Looking to replace the standard head unit on my '56 B6 SE Passat and have come across this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ES7000EU-7-Android-4-0-4-Car-DVD-Player-GPS-WiFi-3G-CanBus-VMCD-VW-SKODA-SEAT-/321262778131 on ebay. The spec/value for money looks fantastic (apart from the bizarre omission of DAB) ...
