Default Fly Audio Nav Upgrade ?'s!!!!

Ok so I am about to order the Fly Audio nav upgrade piece for my IS350, a little nervous.... I spoke with someone out of Canada this morning and he said that the piece was 1399.00 canadian dollars, which is 1407.00 us dollars. I have read that all yall said the piece was 1900.00... Why is this one cheaper? Have the prices gone down... Just a little nervous cause it is 1400.00 dollars just want to know that i am making the right move?? Where did any of you order yours??

Do some searching on here - you can buy that unit direct from manufacture for quite a bit less than via Fly Audio directly - around $480 shipped.

the other Chinese company and flyaudio's warranty is kind of a moot debate when you can buy 3 units for the price of 1 flyaudio unit. The limitations on the FA warranty, and lack of "factory" support from FA doesn't justify the higher price.

You kind of found that out already, since your unit is up for sale now. Should have bought the cheaper one to begin with.

When comparing the prices directly, yes. But I had an issue with my unit so I needed to exchange it. Good luck getting the rep over in China to send you a new one.

I spoke with David from CLT many times and he helped me trouble shoot the unit, sending me the latest software and maps, ect. I ended up needing to exchange my unit so David met up with me personally and gave me a new unit which also has a 1 year warranty directly from our vendor

The only reason Im selling mine (any takers? ) is because I want the 2012 headlights, not because I want the other chinese unit btw
