Maybe we could get some printed by a vinyl shop?

I think we might have to settle for printed vinyl, even if we do find out where to get some of that vinyl it's going to be expensive...

Yep, I don't mind as long as it looks EXACTLY like OEM but obviously with a perfect fit for the radio.

As suspected the UI is horrible:

That's the difference between these China things and the big brands. The big brands build radios, these okes are building glorified phones/tablet PC's with a built in amplifier.

What does box do, is it a porn channel (doos)

sav · 10-15-2012, 09:16 AM

If it's Chinese then probably? Box loves you long time!

Thanks, I didn't even notice that. It's kinda suspicious that they've made it a 2 piece panel which really makes me wonder if they'll be releasing a std 2DIN panel.

I hope they do, since even if somebody does fabricate one, the vinyl pattern would be different, so the only other option I see is to use matte 3M carbon fiber vinyl to get a similar look to the stock vinyl

sav · 10-16-2012, 07:08 AM

Yeah, I'd rather have the spacers than having a different pattern.
