Yes, you'll get replies until you they sold you the unit and you experience any kind of issue. Like I said, even within the same supplier the units you get are different. So, you're not guarantee to get more memory with one supplier vs the other. You need to ask about the unit you're ordering -- if the seller knows.

Yah thats a good point. I'm starting to feel like just go with whatever supplier is the cheapest as they are all copies of the OEM one. I sent an email to Jery hopefully she'll match bonroads price.

Just wanted to update everyone in case there are new members like me interested in getting one of these units at the best possible price.

Jery from LSQ replied this morning with a quote of $580 and I don't have to pay bank fees. This does not include sd card or backup camera but I replied to her email and asked if she can throw in all those plus free shipping so we'll see. She does remember you Corrine but couldn't match your price

I also got a reply from bonroad and their unit has 128mb internal memory. I'm ready to buy now so I'll be going with the company who can give me the cheapest total price, wish me luck!

What map program do you guys recommend, igo or primo? And what version is the latest one? I will ask to load that version on the memory card. Thanks!

Does anyone know what type of external gps receiver I could buy to replace the current one?
The current one really does only receive well when I place it on the roof

thanks

I just received my unit today and it looks great except I noticed a white sticker that was partially removed from the back on the unit. When searching this entire thread I've seen some units people received have this sticker on it and some are completely removed. Is this something to worry about since mine is removed/scratched out? Also it has a few little green stickers that read "Invalid Turn up".....anyone have any idea what this is about?

Here are some pics of examples and ones from my unit. Thank you!

Also what type of connectors for the electrical wiring do I need and what gauge? Or do I need any at all? I do plan on installing a back-up camera and read I have to tap into the cars wiring back there so not sure what special connectors I need? Thanks!

If you don't have the navigation system already in the car, then it just plug in. You don't need anything special.

They do that kinda stuff so customs wont hold and charge you sales tax or import tax ect. Normally overseas company's send stuff as "gift" "demo" "Sample" ect. so i could see them scratching the sticker or relabeling it. i wouldn't worry bought it. good luck with your unit love mine have had it for 7 months

Installing unit right now and have a quick question. I received an external mic and also a analog TV tuner box. Do I need to install these as well? I'm not very familiar with car audio, will the TV tuner box allow me to receive TV channels? Also I was under the impression that this system had a built-in mic for blue tooth, was I mistaken? Thanks!
