It is not a matter of can get it cheaper or not. Actually got many models of this type of HU from many manufacturers with different specs & different performance and looks. I'm quite sure that we can find a cheaper one on the internet. But the trick is to find the one with the best specs, the best sound reproductions & hopefully reliable enough. In this case, credits to bro KFC & Desmond for doing the surveys & research to find it. & this is what both of us have installed now remember, install this at your own risk ok.

yes i'm also worried actually its brought in for me to test. cause KLA normally does mid to high-end HU which is looking at 4k above anytime.
i'm shocked at izputra's speed to install and cause they did mine 1st they had better knowledge for his and its was setup better than mine (geram!) i'm going back to redo like his.

as for HU the specs is 7" 800x480 dpi touchscreen. some listed their price very low cause its 6" or 6.5" only with lesser dpi.

also as with winCE platform many china mfg loaded their units with multiple slots & functions to entice sales. i'm pretty cautions on this as mentioned by my fren in china cause the HU actually won't be able to handle everything. I asked for RMVB also but they tested the processor will overheat same with Garmin which needs its own dedicated processor. With all this high end requirement no cheap player can pass leh.

now u know why branded players have limited features but quality is way better? cause the money goes into the mainboard & processor. its not the amount of buttons & features that's important.

well those managed to source from SG and stay nearby can always pop by to try make sure they state all specs & u compare ok . also not forget the reverse camera quality & its nite display capabilities test it out & make sure its in the price given as well so u dont get caught with u're pants down.

best radio reception is to wire back to your stock antenna. get another TV antenna for TV function.

me & iz are 1st adopters which normally ends up paying slightly more compared to when u all do group buy + installation.

those wanting the same unit from KLA can place their names with iz and when enough make some deposit for KLA to import in ok

others from JB side can try SG at least anything wrong its nearer for them to troubleshoot.

good luck & happy cari MTV! hahahahaha

i'm now on MOD PUASA MODE! hahahahaha

Really great explaination from Sifu KFC..Now fortezens can watch MTV in forte

Just did my 2nd service (10k), but using SHELL Helix Ultra 50W 30..same grade as the syntium, reason being that the dealer sc got no stock of syntium..have asked careline and given green light so proceed using Shell..as long same grade would be ok for warranty etc..

Is there any difference between those two, Helix vs Syntium, perfomance or long term quality?

TQ bro KFC for more detailed explanations. It is so much appreciated. Those who wanna join the group buy for this HU kindly list your name below. The price surely will not exceed 3k for a group buy (includes shark fin antennae installation, cheaper if dont want to install this). I will nego again with Desmond later on for the exact price.

7" HU Bulk Order list :

1. viao pavilion
2. ajak25 (kindly confirm back bro)

skip the sharkfin just wire to Stock Antenna & use another ant for TV if they really want to use that.

bro, can check with careline what warranty that will be void after you made so. im certain that some parts will not be cover by warranty anymore...

I already curse myself not to call the careline again after a bad experience with them previously. I dare to bet with u that if i call them 3 times & asking the same question, i will get 3 different answers. As far as the installation of the new HU is concern, it should void the warranty for the stock HU only. It should not void the warranty for other electronics such as the aircond control panel coz they just plug out & plug in back the panel only. no wire cutting whatsoever. Anyhow, this is my own assumption. by the way, u can call the careline also right? again, i did this on my own risk hopefully the benefits are worth the risk (if any)

but if anything happen they blam on the hu installation.. den say no more warranty.. really not worth rite

that's why i always stressed that, it is up to the owner to judge whether the benefits will outshine the risk

y don mod it after 1 year.. since their electronic part ony warranty 1 year

by the way using de semi manual wil hv better FC or not? i c mcm sama ja.. haha
