Hi, I am wondering whether there is any difference from buying a car headunit from other countries such as US/UK.

Will something like this (link below) work in our cars, or it won't work at all/some features will not function?


> Pioneer AVH-X4800BS <


Anyone with experience or knowledge on this? Thanks cheers!

Of course it will work..
Headunit is universal..

Just take note on the radio frequency...
Might not suitable (out of range) for our radio frequency..

And check the dvd region...

Thanks for d info, am looking for my friend to bring it back for me because it's cheaper than here. Not sure why headunits in Malaysia cost so much..

If Japan, need a converter.

not gonna tell u in details, but my advice for this is "buy and regret"

can you elaborate?

Doesn't seem have to any identifiable issue from googling so far

Nothing wrong in buying overseas products.. but u don't get ur warranty.. and perhaps dvd region thing..

There's a saying in malay 'tepuk dada tanya selera'

At the end of the day it's ur call... cheers mate

Overseas headunit from US & Europe shortfall would be the following if you don't mind,
- no warranty but then if you get a new headunit who cares right
- europe headunit comes with a shorter radio freq from 87.5 - 108 Mhz & still can receive many of our local radio stations
- US headunit radio channels doesn't have even number stations after the decimal eg. You can't get 88.80, 102.20, 96.8.4, so you still can get channels such as 94.5, 99.90, 105.7

No booster is required like those jdm radio. I myself has played many brands, clarion, pioneer, alpine etc. due to their attractive prices!

Thanks for the input!

Well that's why here we are on LYN, always looking for lubang to save a few bucks
