Sounds to me that they have a good basic product, probably "not that dissimilar" to what you can pick up off Ali-express for £60,

as there isnt much in the line of detailed specs and model numbers etc or detailed photos its hard to be sure, but looks a lot like this one...

Yeah there's a few similar on amazon as well
but am still tempted by the seller on here.

Have you got an Amazon link?
Thanks

 

[Badjamin]

Link removed. Yeah it's not compatible sorry. Did a deep dive and I believe the t5 fascia plate is a different shape to t6

 

[Badjamin]

Ebay is full of possibilities I'm very tempted with

Forgot to say the unit also works with the DPF app that’s been developed by one of the members on here

The amazon one is certainly a different model, the mic and reset holes are in the wrong place...kinda tempted by the aliexpress one though 6gb/128gb for £138 which appears the same.

You're gonna have to review aliexpress if you're not careful hehe

It looks like a steal!

Is this the VAG DPF app or a different one?

It’s the app in the picture below, it’s called DPF monitor for VAG

Just make sure it comes with the adapter so you can just plug in the quad block. Mine also came with a canbus block, it was all plug and play

I would say the support I've had from the company has been excellent, and they clearly know these units inside out. For me this would be worth considering even if the same unit can be had on aliexpress for less.
It is also worth confirming what OEM bits will work with any unit you're looking at. This one keeps everything I wanted to keep, but won't work with OEM mic for example. I've spoken to other companies who supply a reversing camera because the unit won't show reverse sensors, whereas this one does.

Nice that the DPF app shows when it’s regenerating

Seem to keep getting this screen pop up on the MFD. Anyone know how stop it? Is that a head unit setting or in the MFD?

 

[jimc91]

I’ve not had that on mine..

 

[tomosllyr]

Not had it either I'm afraid

Is the native satnav clear of trips?

I have no idea, can I clear that on the mfd?

I dunno. It's probably not that. Have you contacted them about it?

Turns out this was caused by having the external GSP antenna plugged in.

In a bit of a 180 turn of events I'm actually going to be selling this unit. Have decided to do a full system upgrade with a higher end head unit, speakers, amp etc so I'll be look to sell this unit over the next few weeks.

Has nothing to do with this unit, its been great and the after care service has actually been up there with the best I've received (spoken with them a few time around issue of my making).

So if anyone is on the fence and wants to try on the cheap. Ping me and we can sort something out (or ill stick up a for sale ad).
