Default Anyone tried the Autoradio replacement head unit?

What I'm talking about is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-IS250-...ht_10789wt_952

I can't find any other information through a search, but it looks like a very similar system to FlyAudio, but with a slight change of buttons, interface, and bluetooth capabilities.

Edit:

I also found it here:

OEM Car Gps

It's the exact ad from eBay, but they also offer TV tuners and preamp outputs on this unit.

Looks like another flyaudio type unit, they are promising a lot of the same BS that flyaudio did at the start and then ended leaving every one high and dry.

DAMN,... is there no aftermarket solution to our systems? And I'm not talking about FlyAudio either because based on recent reviews I would be pissed to throw away that kind of money for something to act ****ty on me

Pretty much this or the Fly Audio. Many have tried and either it doesn't work well or it doesn't look good.

Which is the reason so many people (including myself) have gone the flyaudio route. I personaly like my flyaudio and dont understand all the complains people have but it probably has to do with the fact I'm not an audio *****.

I think I may go with the FlyAudio unit only because there's so much information regarding it and the problems people have encountered. The interface on the OEM Car GPS unit looks better and more intuitive, but I don't want to drop $1500 and have problems with the airbag light, etc.

Here's a video of the interface in action, but on a different model of car:


It would be nice to have the TV option and pre-outs, but it's not worth the investment with such little information.

Have you experienced any problems with it at all and do you have version one or two
