The only problem is that if something messes up you will have to go through them and have to ship it back to the manufacturer in china and deal with them through autogpsdvd. I asked flyaudio about them and this is what he told me.

"The products that autogpsdvd sells with not be covered by flyaudio's policies or warranty becuase they are not an anthorized dealer."

Yeah going with autodvdgps might be good if you want to sacrifice the warranty I guess

Yeah i agree that if something does messes up you will have to go through them, ship it back etc etc. But they do offer 1 yr warranty.

Though dont you find it funny how since they are not an authorized dealer by flyaudio and flyaudio makes these units, then how are they getting these units?

Like yourself i think i will still order through flyaudio (communication is much better) than the other people.

I ordered the unit for my 2007 ES350 this afternoon. 1499 plus 20 something shipping from www.electrawarehouse.com. Here's the install instructions: http://flyaudio.us/images/fbfiles//f...n_Guide_v2.pdf I'm adding a camera to it as well. Everything should get here early next week. (This weekend would be better!)

I think its like bascially they buy some units in bulk or buy them in secondary market and then sell them for little cheaper, it's basically like how iphones have flooded the black market. Yeah atleast you have a peace of mind with flyaudio and god forbid something happens to the unit you can always ship it to them in USA.

Well I've owned this car all of 5 days and the bosslady claims she can't see out of the back good enough. I'd been looking for a solution after learning a Gentex mirror monitor wasn't going to work when I came across this forum. I registered so I could, hopefully, make a contribution to this thread.

Keep getting better:

FlyAudio Multimedia & GPS Navigation System is the only system equipped with two CPUs (Central Processing Units) in the market. Each CPU is mounted on a separate PCB, and it works independently, producing a quicker and smoother effect when switching between navigation and entertainment systems. Compared to those one-CPU units, FlyAudio's Dual CPUs design significantly reduces the chances of system delay or crash.

Did you give them a call? I couldn't find my unit on their site and called. The guy to talk to is Marlin and his number is: 866 709 6575. Their hours are 9-5 on the west coast. Marlin told me he handles the website. I told him I was letting CL know about him. He wasn't aware of the site, but thanked me. So if you talk to him - mention CL. He's quite knowledgeable and he knows what the competition is charging for these units.
