has anyone contacted David from carlighttrends.com since he's FlyAudio's Florida Sales Rep and ask if this legit? If you do a little research you find that FlyAudio designs and manufactures their own products, so who knows what in the hell bootleg half baked crap you'll get from china thru Alibabobo

I bought from David and he seems like a good guy but do you REALLY think he'll give you an honest answer about another source for potentially the same item he sells at almost 1/3 his selling price? I don't think so. He's running a business after all.

You do know that Flyaudio is a Chinese company so I’m pretty sure it already contains as you put it “bootleg half baked crap”. He’ll just look at their own advertisements, they use a factory Lexus/Toyota unit and claim it to be their own.

For the price I think its worth it. I purchased this unit 2-3 months ago and am pretty pleased, though there are few bugs here and there it is better than paying the price of the FA unit. One big problem I have had is the manufacturer is not responding back to my emails about fixes (China of course). Just an FYI the climate control is in Celsius, and I have spent hours upon hours to get this changed and I haven't found a way around it yet. Bluetooth is not the best but works, A2DP works but you do not get to see what songs are showing on the unit, only on your phone. So what are you waiting for??? For this price get it now!!!

Just to confirm, does it come preloaded with nav? Is it plug and play just like the FA? And what year IS do you have? The link says it fits 2010s so Im just trying to make sure

Yes it does come with nav (iGO8). Yes plug and play it is, two different versions of units. 06-08 and 09-12. If you purchase one, make sure its within those years.

I contacted the selller directly, I told her 50 times that my car is a 2007 non navigation . She asked for pictures of my dash to verify fitment? I paid $580.00 shipped . I hate buying from international sellers but paypal has me covered just in case something bad happens. I will do a review once I receive it.

Your vents more than likely have a gap, Johnchi had this issue and had to purchase new vents to fix the gap problem.

Yes I too feel the same way. One of the main reasons I purchased this overseas is PayPal, if not there was no way I would do it. Btw this unit is on ebay right now.

though that price they have it as, I would purchase from China haha.

I don't want to pull the trigger on the newer Ac vents yet, I'll wait untill everything is test fitted and go from there. Thank you for the info and links!
