Why is it dodgy?
Is it stolen or broke or........?

They have loads of functions for the money.
You might get annoyed with the colour not matching the "red" of the Leon, i did that's why i sold my pioneer.

All I'll stress is that you get what you pay for.

The cheap "all in" units from China are awful. They may have the basic functions of the higher end similar units, but their software is generally incomplete, they are "unpolished", and "clunky" to use.

Personally, I'd buy a branded unit for around £150-200.

Hooking it up to a reversing camera is a cool mod imho :)

I say its dodgy just because the company that makes it doesnt have a website or cant find any info on it... Yeh i rekon the women who reversed into a wall infront of me today wishes she had a reversing camera :P.

As long as it all works and you're happy with it go for it.
