I bought this unit 2 weeks ago. It worked fine with CD, IPOD 20Gb via AUX.
BUT when i tried to connect Ipod via USB or other MP3 player some smoke started coming from the back. Also every time i started the car the settings etc will all go back to default - very annoying as you have to start completely from new for EVERYTHING. I'll be returning this particular unit but in MHO if you get a one thats working properly is quick good with all the toys!

I let you know how i get on with the exchange/replacement.

This problem has been mentioned a number of times on this forum

It has to do with two wires the red and orange need to be swapped in order for the stereo to keep it's memory

Sent mine back for a replacement due to head unit keeping popping out of main radio this morning, awaiting the replacement. Its kinda annoying though that I am having to pay £10 to post this item back to them, asked for a refund on postage but I don't expect anything to come of this!

I had to send mine back due to problems mentioned further up this thread. I asked about refunding postage charges and was told to include a receipt with the parcel.

I posted it on the Saturday, and received a replacement on the Thursday. The postage charge was refunded the same day.

I originally ordered a silver one by mistake. When I returned it, I asked if it would be possible for the replacement to be a black one. This was done.

All in all I think that this is great customer service.

I am not too impressed by the radio and the clock still will not autoset, but the customer service was great. I would definitely buy from them again, but probably not car radios

The clock won't autoset - it's not that type of clock. You have to set it yourself.

Alright, another question!

I just got a newer Renault Clio, one of those ones with the controls up by the steering wheel... What do I need to do to get it to work with that? Would I need one of those ISO leads (or is that for something else?) or some other lead?

I suppose that I should read the manual. :rolleyes:

Whoops! Clicked thanks by mistake.

In answer to your question, I do not believe that this will allow you to use the steering wheel controls.
