That looks exactly like the unit some other guy just posted that he put in his car. It looks fly. I'd get it.

Guys, its a no-name knockoff, from a seller with over 100 negative feedbacks including 4 week shipping and shitty product complaints? $40 shipping means that thing easily goes for over $400. It's a non name brand touchscreen? That couldn't be more dangerous. Touch screens are tricky technology and I would never screw around with anything but reputable brand name touch screen. Some things you can get away with generics - not a touch screen. I call POS and I don't see how between 400 - 500 is even a good price. Save yourself a headache dude, keep looking.

you can a eclipse avx 2404 for under $800 new, thats why my local dealer sells them at this.

J187 is right, certain things are okay to buy no-name brand, but other things should not be.

i would be worried about the motorization of that unit, thats normally the first thing to mess up on a generic "ebay brand" product.

plus, the dude has crappy feedback, thats the red flag right there.

i got a jensen vm9510 on ebay right now with a warrenty....i had it listed on the forsale forum.....but i will make u a deal if u want the unit i will include everything to go plug and play for ur car (super easy install), it is a single din and i will include the kit for it as well (the one i have is the one to relocate the pocket to the top, and i will also throw in the power invertor to wire up ur ps2 with......but thats just for the 7thgenmembers.......pm me if u are interested......

as for no name units...i bought one that was similar from ebay and it wasnt worth the shipping that i was charged.....decided i would go to c.c. and buy something with a quasi reputable name.....or atleast something i could get a warrenty on....and i loved it! Just deciding to put the car back to stock.......

STAY away from the cheap knock off ebay brands........they all use the same 2or3 pictures too.....its sort-a funny!

no brand name on it (I mean no name whatsoever) means no good

Sorry to poop in your cornflakes but you are better off not wasting your money
