Is this also a RoadRover unit?
I just found out my stock nav unit has a bad board & also has a bad drive. I'm in the process of getting a second opinion. Estimate for repair by Hi-Tech in Van Nuys, Ca. was $1700.00. Yes. Srriously. I happen to think thats not only Crazy, but also obsurd. Common sense says to obviously go with an aftermarket unit. So in snooping around I online & Googling, i came across this:
Now can someone tell me is this unit the "RoadRover" unit thats been mentioned in numerous other threads? It sure looks like it to me & it could possibly save me a bundle. And if so, will it install into an 06 is350 ML? (please please PLEASE say it WILL fit with only air vent issues ). Any & all reviews would be graciously appreciated also. Good, bad & ugly.
Hmmm... Won't let me post the full link for some reason. Maybe my account doesn't have enough posts. Stand by.... My bootleg solution is in the next post below. . Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Upon further review it appears to be an older model of some sort. The price set at $358 indicates it may not be the latest greatest imo. Wonderful, now I'm confused. But I positively need a new unit.

After shooting over to the FlyAudio website it's clear that the seller is advertising the same product FA manufacturer. The seller is located in China & is a wholesaler. So I'm not sure if that explains the low price or not. Not sure what to make of this, but I'm currently considering the unit from Alibaba. Is the RoadRover pretty much a plug & play with an existing factory nav? I realize there is the vent issue. That's minor when I look at the bigger picture. Having a system that has functional climate controls is a priority at the moment. At a reasonable cost to me.
The vehicles OEM is what took a dump on me to begin with. Of all the systems available, Lexus has the most widely reported issues. I won't b replacing it with another Lexus OEM. This much I know.

Found out this company has recieved MUTILIPLE complaints for fraud & it is a bonafide SCAM site.
Dodged a bullet for sure!
