I figured with a two year warrenty it's worth a punt, a fair few guys on here have erisin units now & happy with them, it's this or £350+ for a used kenwood 525.

Yeah fair point dude. What year is your golf? am I right in thinking there are two different canbus versions, one up to 2007 and one after.

Really supper tempted to take the punt to be honest.

Mines a Mk5, 2006.
Spoke to DHL
(Dick heads limited) & they say it might be in the warehouse, there not sure, the joke is it's about a 40 minute journey to where I bought the bloody thing from! Wish I'd asked to pick it up now.

Is it necessary replace the CAN gateway?? I heard that if you do not change it, the battery will discharge

From what I've seen its a straight swap, (least I hope it will be). I've had an rns315 in for a week and that caused serious battery drain problems even with an 07 CAN gateway.

The sat nav does but the climate control function doesn't. I don't know weather that's just because my car is a pre 2007 car or not

That's fair enough as I'd prefer climate as is or it just complicates things more.

Thanks

Has anyone bought from Erisin direct? The later Android 4.4 units only seem to be available on there (not eBay)?

Spec looks much better than the older Windows units and at £177 it seems a bargain! Especially as it's dual core and has more RAM.

Here's a link; http://www.erisin.com/erisin-es9405a-8-hd-android-442-car-dvd-gps-vw-passat-golf-touran-caddy-jetta-seat_p521.html?page=2&number_of_uploads=0

Check my link on page 1 I bought from Erisin direct, not turned up yet so I'm now claiming my money back, not good to deal with, no communication at all from them, DHL won't talk to me either now, so I escalated it to a claim today. Not good, imagine claiming on warrenty??? Forget it!!

Daveyboy. Do you have any problems with battery drain? Is the only thing worrying me about buying one.
