I was just reading some more on their site...

seems like, for backup camera, we need to buy our own and plug it into their head unit. Also, they says it supports CD changers, so I guess the stock CD changer plugs into the head unit as well, but im unsure if the buttons on the changer will still work or how it works with the nav. Im also unsure about AM/FM and how it integrates becuase the NAV unit comes with its own AM/FM...

"Built-in AM/FM tuner supports auto-search, save,
frequency display, timber and sensitive adjustment.Save up to 16 preset stations (6 in AM, 6 in FM1 and 6 in FM2)


They are actually a US based company, with their HQ in washington, so I might give them a call to ask them about everything, and how it integrates with the stock features...

Here is their number if anyone else wants it:

FlyAudio USA

I actually called them last night and a chinese guy picked up he said this unit is like a plug and play comes with all the instructions and stuff. He said someone will call me today so I am waiting for their call. It looks really neat and OEMish but I am just wondering how the quality will be. I dont like to buy i-clone's LOL. I will speak to them and see if its worth it. I might buy it if everything is good.

Ok guys so I spoke to a Flyaudio sales team his number is 425-672-4828. He answered most of my questions. On the bright said he said we have a 14 day return policy if we not satisfied and it comes with 1 year warranty. The units are in stock in USA and will ship in 7-10 days. He said they do some tests before they ship them so thats why it takes little time. Our unit comes with everything except the rear view camera and tpms sensor. Rear view camera is $80 extra. So total cost will be $2000 + $80 Rearview Camera shipped.

What do you guys think?

GiantsFan or anyoen: Can you call them and get some info and see if they legit please. I need some advise before I buy it from you guys

I think this sounds great. For something that will do better than our OEM navi and its a plug in play unit. Unlike if you were to try and convert, you would have to tap and do lots to make a oem navi to work into a non-navi.

I say go for it

When i did my convert (i return it because of other issues) it cost me little over $3k. So this is actually a way better deal.

If everything integrates properly and works than $2080 is a good deal (imo). As kikaida said, retrofitting an OEM nav will cost more, require splicing wires, and have less features.

Ill give em a call tonight... and also ask about how the OEM changer and AM/FM will work...

Each to his own but i don't like it? i don't know.

The local car audio shop owner quoted me $1400 to install a 7" flip-out (i had like 3 choice s, don't remember the models), put my cd changer in the glove, install my sub,amp and a bass control ****. I bet if he didn't have to wire the car for the amp, it would have been cheaper. I'd rather have something that's capable of more?

The only plus to this unit is that it looks and fits like an OEM part, with iPod/TMPS integration.
