WD 6050 - who has fitted one? (with TV and rear camera add ons)

[Lean]

If you have fitted please let me know I need some help!! 

[SteveP]

What's the problem, others may still be able to help 

[Lean]

I just don't have the know how to install it! mainly because I bought the rear view camera and the DVB-T - I alos have a parrot in there to with multican whcih I think I need to remove so as not to interfere with it. 

[Lean]

I fitted it (apart from the rear camera, defo not up to fitting that!) but I have to say I'm SO SO pleased that I didn't buy the RNS this unit is incredible all my steering wheel buttons work the MFD shows everything except the sat nav (who cares?!) apart from the 'interesting' looking software the unit is fast responsive and well excellent. Absolute bargain if you ask me if your thinking about RNS over WD6050 then I'd vote WD - for me it wasn't a money choice I just thought you get way more with the WD and thank god I chose to get it!

Just wanted to share

that looks good, how much are they?

[Lean]

very cheap mate I think I paid about £300.00 + £30 for the wireless rear camera kit.

Check out the following thread for all the info - I have the latest version 4 and to be honest all the problems people had with the unit seem to of been solved it's a great piece of kit

I'm going to add a portable HDD to the rear USB out so even storage of films etc or anything is pretty much unlimited

ps. Oskar (Joe) is the best person to buy (as you will read when sifting through the thread)

you say the mfd does not disply the nav . how do you acess it ? also is the phone set up (blutooth) nany good ?

What do you think of the sound quality and, are the graphics any good in the flesh?

[Lean]

all the sat nav is displayed on the touch screen so it's only the MFD displaying a copy of the screen that's missing - which frankly i don't miss at all as I rarely had the MFD sat nav showing (normally on mileage etc.)

The sound is way better than the oem system, everything seems incredibly clear yet really 'bassy' if you need/want it.  At high volume it out performs by a mile, you really can notice the difference and I didn't think it would be that noticeable but it is.

The graphics are a bit '80's' to be honest but since I have the sat nav showing 99% of the time (unless watching videos) it's not a problem - I will look at skinning it at some point but I'm in no hurry.

By the way if I didn't mention it before - I will now, the video quality is immense.

All i need now is to learn how to hook up the wireless camera

[gillm]

[Lean]
