hey you guys, i was browsing the web for a new aftermarket unit for my 07 SE when i came across this. it seems pretty crazy and might i add cool in a very unique and odd way. has anyone ever come across this?
Looks like a Korean POS if you ask me! Get an OEM NAVI unit from OEMValue.com, and add on a VAIS Technology iPod & Video adapter & you'll get every feature that product has to offer, plus, you'll actually get NAVI!!!

OOH this is very nice, but I agree it does look photoshopped. And for the price on ebay, it looks affordable for all of the devices I'd like with the OEM look.
I checked OEM Value for camry's replacement and I think this one cuts the price by a third...but like all things, I wonder if the bezel color tone matches, it mounts correctly, and there aren't any excessive wire running for the GPS unit, harnesses, etc.
Would love it someone had an indepth review of this unit.
^I have heard that the DVD picture quality on the OEM nav is terrible? Do you have any input on that?
Can't verify that, yet the resolution on the 07 Dneso NAVI units are much better than previous versions ... I will let you know once I install my VAIS Adapter & DVD Player

BigWillie - I agree, but something tells me to not jump at this right off the bat. The ebay seller has a horrible reputation in the OP's post and the site offered up doesn't look all that comforting. I'm not saying the site is illegitimate or not, just that if it was feature rich as stated, you'd think there'd be some heavy documentation supporting it and it's features. I mean granted oemvalue doesn't have much, but atleast they have necessary installation information even it does look like it was written on a napkin with crayons and wood pencil
I hope something like this comes into fruition and is a superb product all around.
The first thought I had when I saw this unit on Ebay was that it doesn't say if it's JBL compatible. I would not be interested if it's not plug&play with the JBL wiring. Otherwise I might as well get the Pioneer or Eclipse and a Metra faceplate and end up with a better system.

Those look very tempting. I love the factory look they have, but I'm wondering about the actual quality of the player itself.
I've personally been looking at the AVIC-d3, I especially like the navigation system because I'm sick of always having to print up map quest directions.
