    I'm looking to buy a good brand double din. I would prefer it not to be chinese product. Amazon in the U.S are far cheaper than the Amazon uk. Are these compatible for the european market and if so has anybody had any experience with them. Would appreciate your opinions or experiences in any case.

    you need to see with the tuner what incriments the frequency changes up in. as in you may not be able to hear certain channels properly as it won't tune into 91.4, only 91.5 or whatever.

    bands themselves will be grand.

    Asides from any differences in the models sold here and the US. You'd most likely have to pay import duty on anything you order from amazon.com which would add ~25%

    Thanks for that, would the dvd player be compatible or does this also depend on which brand you choose

    i have a pioneer avic f7010bt that i got in the states. its a great bit of kit, ipod connection, bluetooth, satnav, sd card slot, reverse camera connection etc.

    as above the radio stations dont tune in the same but i can still pick up most of the stations manually

    BDJW 250 sounds ok to me, to be honest one the most important features to me is for it to be compatible with a reversing camera, does this unit do this. Also are you happy with quality of picture etc
