  1. He's cool like that (lol). I've seen a USDM-spec trend in Japan.

     

    Toyota, Honda and Mazda guys seem to do the same thing.

    A whole scene 'loves' USDM bumpers, orange reflectors, US license plates.

    The closer to USDM spec or 'ghetto-fabulous', the better.

     

    Reminds me of how chrome tailights for many cars are advertized as 'Euro-look' (no clue how?) in the US and 'Lexus/Altezza-look' in Europe. With Lexus traditionally recognized as an exotic US brand (*cough* rebaged needless mark-up Toyota *cough*) hence the Altezza reference (Toyota Altezza was the JDM name for the 1st-gen Lexus IS as sold in Japan). I guess they sell better this way, sounding exotic on both sides of the pond for vastly different reasons.

  2. Cool! Thanks for the pics and review.

     

    How is the sound quality when playing radio/CDs or using AUX? Is it on par with the stock unit, better/worse?

     

    We'll mod it soon enough, load up different firmware, software, updated or replacement nav and maps.

    These unit that seem to use the same hardware have a vastly different GUI so that could be one approach.

  3. I got one as well, will let everyone know how it is.

     

    Reviews (both video and text) of similar units for other make/models look promising.

    Seems its easy enough to load updated firmware/software

    and potentially swamp in other GoGo or TomTom maps.

     

    For 300 bucks I'll experiment and toss it if its no good.

    Wouldn't do the same for the regular price @ 1-2K.

    Just as ridiculous as OEM.

  4. Anyone have aclue what this means? Happened suddenly just now. Car is running a little rough, brakes works. i've never seen anything like this before. Checked and refastened the gas cap, No help. Started and restarted , no hlep. Much appreciate the advice.
