    I possibly am but will have to read up on the unit a little bit more.

    Also worried about Bluetooth quality on those units.....

    Are you going to give one a try?

    Not for me, I am going Discover Media.
    It's a cool concept though.
    I've seen a guy in Poland has installed one.
    Bluetooth can be hit and miss with some of those units. As can the software in general and also support.
    But full marks for creativity!

    Fair enough the Discover media would be much better.

    I'll do some more research on that unit and will let you know if I go ahead.

    Any one else keen?

    Bonkers 10.4 inch infotainment system

    So I bought it as the curiosity got to me:
    Here's some pics of the unit
    Front of screen:


    Back of screen:


    The brains or processing unit:


    Main screen:


    Google maps:


    The unit is pretty good, functionality is there and everything works fairly well. The boot screen is displays "Mogotan" which is the Chinese b7 passat and also displays a b7 on the main screen. The supplier said this could not be changed unfortunately.

    Aircon controls work well, including seat heating, front and rear demister ect.

    Bluetooth works ok however there's no external mic and the mic it self if made for the LHD market as is positioned on the left side of the screen.

    You can use radio and google maps navigation at the same time, however I installed Waze and it kills the radio app when launched. Possibly a memory linitation.

    There's a native app which allows you to display your android/iPhone screen on the unit.

    The screen is quite sharp and clear however it does pick up a fair bit of glare which reflects off its shiny/glossy surface.

    The trim around the unit is plastic and not exactly a perfect match to the original brushed aluminium, I also don't need the hazard light switch on the unit as this car is a 2008, unlike the b7 which has the analogue clock in place of the hazard switch.

    Still early days as I've only had about 2 hours of playing around with it.

    Well done mate. I'm keen to see if this expands into other console matches... Very keen to see how it looks with mirror/carplay
