It looks like the business but until I've heard how some folk have got on with it I'll hold fire I think.

Probably wise, even if you order now they say that delivery will be into next year. By next year they may have caught up with supply?

To be fair demand has to be high, they are the only true aftermarket supplier that makes a head unit which will work in our car's.

Can't wait to see it fitted on your car so I decide if it's worth buying or not. :P

I'm in the same boat for my C30. This looks like the nicest headunit by far without any loss in functionality. The second I see this in action and working, I'll be right onto them!

I await with anticipation to hear how you get on!

Still waiting. Supposed delivery date has been and gone, waiting for a revised date, emails are no longer being responded to. Pre-Christmas isn't looking hopeful.

Interestingly, a few weeks ago I emailed the guys to ask about delivery times and I had a few other questions such as whether or not it has OBD2 support. Unfortunately it doesn't.

Anyway, at the time they advertised 10 week delivery times but they emailed to say it was more like 4-6 weeks I think. Maybe that estimate was a bit hopeful by the sounds of it.

Does anyone know what the cause of delays might be? Are they a small company so can only deal with small numbers of orders at a time or something?

Would definitely be interested in hearing if anyone has this unit fitted

I was hoping that this would be the one hit wonder for all my MP3 / Radio / SatNav integration woes, but delivery problems and the following Dutch review didn't paint it in a good light.
Also I don't think it supports the existing pro-logic systems, hence by centre speaker and sub-woofer become redundant.

If I could only be proved wrong as this seemed the ideal solution to us C70 owners

I'm still really interested in this unit, my CD player is completely borked now. I'm in no major rush and was kinda hoping for a unit which has maybe had a few revisions/ iron-outs to be released to market and maybe the price to fall a bit as they produce more and more. So basically I want more for less lol
