Never heard of them but they can be had cheaper elsewhere.............. http://www.newimagecarhifi.co.uk/pyle-pldrf7bt-7-motorised-touch-screen-with-dvd-vcd-mp3-divx-us-car-audio-hifi-pr-215.html http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pyle-7%22-Touch-Screen-Motorized-TFT-TV-DVD-MP3_W0QQitemZ270309726219QQcmdZViewItem I have one of these fitted to my V70.................. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pioneer-AVH-P4000DVD-DOUBLE-DIN-DVD-CD-MP3-CAR-STEREO_W0QQitemZ110373237224QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP?hash=item110373237224&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 When they were on the market they cost around £1200. As its a DVD player, you can burn 4.7gb worth of Mp3's to disc which means you dont need a disc changer. It supports Bluetooth,usb,ipod,rear camera etc but you have to pay a little extra for all the bits & bobs. I was happy to pay a little extra for a name i could trust.

agreed, my elcrapo ebay headunit has been driving me nuts, changing tracks on its own and the volume! would definately recommend going for a named brand personally :)

i always thought pyle were a named brand, although not that popular. i have a pyle power cap, which is more for show rather than practicality. Mind the shop, edge performance, i know the guys who own and run it, they are good performance wise, but i wouldnt know about the audio side of things, though i would imagine they wouldnt sell it if it was rubbish unlike some ... but in terms what others have been saying, there are probably better deals and named units for that price out there ... have you tried www.caraudiodirect.co.uk ??

Looks good bud - hope its a reliable unit for you. Have you tried putting a shed loads of mp3's on dvd yet? Mine plays them via dvd so i dont need a multi changer anymore. Keep us posted on how it performs.
