In general, I've never big a big fan of blaming violent movies, TV, or video games, for the acts committed by people who view them regularly. However, if you have a kid with autism, you might consider taking a look at what exactly your child is watching. While this is a great idea for all parents, sometimes autism parents might assume that a certain show is OK or think your child is not paying attention to what YOU are watching.
In our case, our daughter is super perceptive even when we think she is focused on something else entirely. She also seems to tune in to our moods, which can also be a factor considering what you are watching. You often hear people say that kids with autism do not imitate others. This is not the case for lots of kids with autism. Our daughter does lots of imitating of people in real life and stuff from movies. Kids with autism are often very visual thinkers.
Video Modeling is even a therapy used to teach social behaviors to children on the Autism spectrum. In our case, what might appear to be just general bad behavior could have roots in a movie she saw last night, last week, or last year. Even movies that are NOT VIOLENT and perfectly fine with neuro-typical kids, can result in unwanted behaviors. One prime example of a movie banned from ever seeing the light of day in our house is the 1999 Walt Disney movie TARZAN. For one thing, Tarzan swing from everything under the sun. There are also lots of OVER ACTIVE MONKEYS being monkeys. None of these are things you want imitated. Acting like a monkey in Walmart could perhaps result in some parenting stress even for the best of us. Yes, that can be a pain, but some acts in what you might consider safe media, could result in serious injury or even death if imitated by your child.
One thing that I assumed was fine was Looney Tunes. Our daughter loves Bugs Bunny. She likes to take her Bugs Bunny doll with her lots of times. He is her most beloved doll. So much so, that she threw Buggs off of a moving train while we were going over a bridge in a heavily wooded area at the Six Flags amusement park right before we were about to enter BUGGS BUNNY NATIONAL PARK! Buggs was rescued by a brave Six Flags employee. Why would she do such a thing? At first thought, it doesn't make much logical sense to my brain. However, have you ever seen all of the things that Looney Tunes characters endure? Being thrown off of a moving train is actually pretty tame compared to a lot of the things the Buggs Bunny cartoon character gets himself into on screen. I watched Looney Tunes as a kid and my memory of them really didn't match up to reality. We are guilty of popping in a movie in the car DVD player, giving her the headphone and letting her watch a movie while we listen to something else. When I watched some of these classic cartoons with her, I was a tad shocked at some of the subject matter. The first episode that I watched had a prostitute, a homicide, and a suicide! The next involved about a dozen ways that the Road Runner tortured Wile E. Coyote. This was followed by Buggs apparently committing suicide while playing a friendly game of russian roulette with Yosemite Sam. I'm not going to go into the full laundry list of Looney Tunes debauchery here, but will give you a couple of examples that would not be wise to imitate. Below is Buggs Bunny after he was HANGED by another character. The second picture shows a character who was just submerged in boiling water because another character thought he resembled a lobster. The only consequence of these acts in the cartoon world was some mocking by the other characters. Real world imitations Bugs Bunny Hangingof either of these could result in a lot bad things.
Movies, TV, video games, and the Internet can be great tools for your visual learner if you provide the right input. So, watch what you are introducing to your ASD child's mind. The problem behaviors that you are enjoying may be the direct result of some simple cartoon that you assumed was fine.

How could any car be worth such a price?
I stood in absolute disbelief. Perhaps he had misunderstood my question. I answered, “No, I don’t want to purchase your business, I want to buy a car.” His frown left me mystified as I grasped what he was implying. The car actually was $44,991, on sale! I contemplated this as I scrutinized the automobile, searching for a toilet or maybe waiting for it to speak, something to verify its price. “Well, it should never break down,” I remarked. “It should run forever.” He laughed, but remarked on the car DVD player, the navigational device and the OnStar alert system. “Fantastic,” I echoed, “more gadgets to break down.” He grinned and I left.
It puzzles me that cars cost what once houses did, and in truth, are their engines that much improved? Fuel pumps, water pumps, gaskets, starters, batteries and radiators all still fail, as did the engine in my $10,000 Suzuki. Do we honestly believe that these exorbitantly priced automobiles outshine all others? That their engines won’t ever bite the dust? Do we not see this clue in having the OnStar alert system? Do we buy a car to watch DVDs?
It is distressing that there are those who believe these unrelated-to-the-engine devices will provide you with outstanding performance. How quickly we overlook that, sometime down the road, we will be forced to make the decision of either repairing it, again, or trading it in. What was it that we paid $44,000 for?

The other little gizmos are electronic sensors that will turn on and off the windscreen wipers whenever the screen gets frosty with dew or rain.
One gadget for the car that Gadgets.in found quite useful is the rear camera that is connected to the rear view mirror. The mirror has a small LCD screen which displays the entire rear section of the car. This enables the driver to see the rear with ease irrespective of anyone in the rear seat blocking his or her view through the rear view mirror. Some people are developing this gadget to record certain periods while the car is moving. In case of an accident the driver can save the recording to replay it as a support for his claim of not being responsible for the mishap. If the driver does not save the clipping then the video will erase the clip a few minutes after the vehicle has stopped.
Other gadgets include state of the art stereo radio players that cone with inbuilt Car DVD players and CD players.

Facts About Car Stereo System
The truth is that if you just buy the car with no additional sound accessories, the sound quality of your car stereo system might not be the kind that you would like it to be. There is always room for improvement and the best part about modern technology is that that room is always allowed. This means that with whatever car audio system that your car comes with and if you are unhappy with the output and you would like to improve it, there are numerous ways by which you could embellish your car audio system and you can add on accessories and make the sound quality even better.
The first thing you should do if you wish to improve the performance of your car audio system is to replace your existing speakers for new ones. The fact is that the car stereo system that your car manufacturer provides you with is not of the best quality and the most instant improvement that you can distinctly tell is by installing new speakers that will show a great change in the quality of the sound that is produced. This is because no matter how great your car audio system actually might be, the sound that is being played ultimately has to be passed through the speakers to be heard and is this is not of the kind of quality that is up to your standards then of course the whole quality of the sound that is in the output will be bad. So just with a replacement of the speakers you will find a world of good.
The next thing that you should change or upgrade is the receiver itself. Just like the speakers themselves are pretty important for the kind of quality of sound that you want produced even the main receiver itself is as important for the overall sound quality to be good. For better sound with no signs of any sound distortion or also an amp that is very clear will require you to change your receiver, this should preferably be a receiver that is bought from a well known manufacturer.
The brand and the quality of the receiver that you buy from will surely affect the kind of sound that you ultimately receive. A better quality receiver will also have a better option for the kind of display on the interface that you receive that makes the selection of songs while you are driving less distractive and a better way to operate the sound inside your car. These good quality receivers can also be embellished with other sources for audio; these can include a car DVD player or a radio tuner or something like that which can be attached to the receiver and thus make your sound stereo system inside your car even more versatile.
Another great way to improve the sound quality inside your car which you should do after you have done the above is to add an external amplifier.

Mobile DTV Goes Wi-Fi to Reach IPhones
Among the devices supporting mobile digital TV at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week will be a small box designed to bring over-the-air broadcasts to iPhones, BlackBerries, laptops and other devices with Wi-Fi.
The ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) approved a mobile DTV standard for the U.S. in October, but CES is expected to host the first major announcements of devices that can receive the signals. The Tivit, development of which was partially funded by the industry group Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC), will pick up a standard mobile DTV signal and transmit it via Wi-Fi to a mobile phone or any other device equipped with Wi-Fi. It is expected to go on sale in the first half of this year for between US$90 and $120.
All the major U.S. mobile operators offer some form of TV service, but those services are oriented toward national channels and video on demand. Mobile DTV allows local stations to broadcast their regular over-the-air programming or other content from their existing transmission facilities. The broadcasts are carried over a portion of the station's regular frequencies and use high-quality H.264 video and HE AAC v2 (High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding, Version2) audio encoding. Stations are expected to begin by showing their standard content, free of charge, but could also add special mobile DTV channels available by subscription.
Several mobile DTV devices are expected to be announced at CES, including a portable car DVD player from LG Electronics. As for content to watch on those upcoming devices, 30 local stations out of about 1,600 across the U.S. are already set up for mobile DTV, according to the OMVC. It costs less than $150,000 and about two hours to upgrade a station for mobile DTV, said David Arland, a spokesman for the OMVC and Valups, which will make the Tivit.
The Tivit could open up mobile DTV to a plethora of devices already in consumers' hands, giving early adopters a taste of free, live, local TV on their handsets. The OMVC, which represents more than 800 local broadcast TV stations, will use it as part of a trial this year in the Washington, D.C., area in which eight local stations will broadcast mobile DTV and various consumers will use different types of devices to watch the broadcasts.
The device, about two inches (5 centimeters) by 3.5 inches and less than half an inch thick, is made by Valups, a South Korean vendor of set-top boxes. Valups adapted it from devices that were introduced in Japan and Korea so iPhone users could continue to enjoy the live local TV they were used to seeing on their cell phones, Arland said. The Tivit is battery-powered, comes with a USB port and a wall adapter for charging, and should last about three hours of viewing on a charge, according to the company. Valups will be looking for retail channel partners at CES, Arland said.
The Tivit can only send video to one Wi-Fi device at a time, though it could be adapted to serve multiple devices in the future, Arland said. It includes a slot for a micro-SD card, which could be used to give a consumer access to subscription-based programming. In addition to the Tivit, Valups will introduce a mobile DTV module for integration into portable consumer electronics devices such as car DVD players, TVs and in-car navigation units.
To use the Tivit, consumers will need special software. There is a free application available now in the iTunes App Store for iPhones and iPod Touch devices. Though on Monday the app was still called "Tivit Mobile TV Viewer for DVB-H," it actually uses the U.S. mobile DTV standard and not DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld), the standard used in Europe, Arland said. Users will also be able to download free software for BlackBerries, Motorola Android phones and laptops. There are versions available for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. The applications will provide a list of available programs. None of the software will work without the Tivit.
Though any Wi-Fi device could pick up transmissions from the Tivit, the mobile DTV standard is designed for use in small devices with screens less than 10 inches across, Arland said. Unlike standard digital TV, it is designed to allow smooth viewing even on high-speed trains, he said.
Introducing the Tivit is a necessary first step in getting mobile DTV off the ground, said Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis. Some consumers would prefer making a one-time device purchase and getting free TV from then on. However, it will face two major hurdles as a consumer electronics product, he said. One is that consumers won't have any use for it until mobile DTV is on the air in their own areas.
"Until there's broadcasting in your local area with content that you're interested in receiving, it's a doorstop," Greengart said.
The other is that it's one more thing a consumer will have to remember to take advantage of the service.
"Generally speaking, consumers don't like to carry accessories for their devices," he said.
MobiTV, which already sells a managed service to mobile operators for delivering live national TV and video on demand on phones, is bullish about the addition of local broadcasting over mobile DTV.
"We've proved there is a business in mobile TV. This is just another addition to it," said Chief Technology Officer Kay Johansson. Though MobiTV could bring local stations' programming into its service and deliver it based on a user's location information, mobile DTV makes more sense for that, he said. "We definitely believe that you have to have a broadcast element of this in the future."

Nexus One car kit caught on camera
The Google Nexus One will include a couple of accessories when it’s released in January (as rumored). Among them–a dashboard car kit and a Bluetooth desktop dock. The car kit has been caught on camera and doesn’t look to be anything special. It does continue to point toward the eventual demise of the PND though. The desktop dock, model number CR B410, is Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR-capable, as is the Nexus One. This is leading some tech bloggers to believe, citing an FCC filing, that the Bluetooth dock could be tethered via an AV jack to something like a car DVD player to stream media content from the phone to, for example, an HDTV.

The advice for dealing with Christmas travel
There is nothing very funny, standing in long queues at the airport or stuck in traffic on the road outside the city, if you were located in the hammock, swimming in the pool or chilling on the beach before the hour. However, what is often at the top of the Christmas trip, when to start the game all hits the streets and the airport and the mind. Here are our 10 tips to keep a cool head is the holiday season of Christmas.
If you fly you register online, 24 hours before the flight and save a lot of standing around the airport. It's still a queue for Bag Drop-off, but tends to move fairly quickly. Online registration, you can choose your seat.
Sydney Airport said Friday, December 18 and Saturday, December 19 is the busiest day at the airport this year with the 2nd January 3 when many people return home. If you or the day you plan to arrive at the airport before your flight and be prepared for long queues.
The NRMA expects its busiest day) on the streets during the last school day (December 18) two days before Christmas (December 23 and days) after Christmas (December 27 to January 4.
Statistics on traffic accidents is the worst time for Christmas Day 10.2, while employed by 10 on Boxing Day.
The NRMA said the morning rush hour tends to a later date during the holidays because so many moved to annual leave, Climax, and then travel to the Wee hours in the morning when you can.
It's hard to travel light, for Christmas, but it makes life easier and help you avoid baggage fees. When you arrive at your destination well before Christmas, and at least some shopping when you get there because the airlines little Christmas spirit when it comes to overweight bags.
Do not be one of many that lead to delays in security checks at the airport by packaging in general, aerosols and other prohibited items in checked baggage.
Despite government campaigns to increase awareness, Sydney Airport seized hundreds of items per day for security checks.
If traveling abroad, remember that there are restrictions on liquids in hand luggage: each element must be 100 ml or less and all containers must be placed in a clear bag zip-lock. See travelsecure.infrastructure.gov.au.
If you wear, Christmas gifts, it is preferable not to participate because they must be available for inspection.
Item is not checked baggage if you must. Christmas is the busiest of the year for air travel to say and a better chance of loss of luggage, then get the most from your seven pounds in a chamber baggage allowance per person.
Most airlines allow laptops, bags and cameras in addition to compensation to be done leaves no room for small gifts.
Most Australians do not travel travel insurance in the country, some do not travel internationally. If there was ever a time when the insurance market is the peak Christmas travel, especially if you wear gifts. Insurance companies online actually brought the cost of insurance is money well spent.
If you go, airport transfers, on the ramp at the airport, required parking or other arrangements, the book now. See Parking Full sign when you can fly, you feel miserable and should not assume hotels have parking when kept rooms. If you're probably too late at home, you need to call and give rules for the collection of a button or a visit.
If you steal, you have the book you want to read, so you can activate the standby time to relax and not disappointed. Accept that things will take longer than normal and use your time.
If you drive, download podcasts or new music to make a big difference. If you go on a long trip with children in the car, a cheap, car DVD players can contribute to peace and goodwill.
If there is a guarantee for the summer travel season is that there is a dramatic outbursts at the airport and roads - and not talking about children.
At the airport, I remember the staff will do their best to get thousands of passengers on the right aircraft at the right time - not in the interest of the airline off slowly.
In the streets, it helps to remember that all other efforts to reach their destination and. Wearing Santa Claus hat to you, listen to music, which is to remember that the spirit of Christmas should be fun, not survival of the fittest.

Some cars are now equipped with engines that rely on solar energy and accelerate the production of hybrid vehicles further.
These vehicles operate primarily on the performance of batteries installed in the trunk. Some of these batteries should be plugged into an electrical outlet overnight to recharge the battery to power the next day again.
Another problem that occurred in the past with hybrid cars, the lack of power. Cars can easily climb mountains.
Nor could go at a pace suited to highway driving. Now, cars can easily lead to heavy traffic and easily navigate the mountainous terrain.

Vehicles of the family most recently designed with extra features that are built into DVD players in the back seat of the car. These players can withstand regular use by young children. They have touch screens, easy handling of the Car DVD player that can be easily fitted to the unit. In most cases, an owner of the Car DVD is close to the location where the child is.
Security features are the cars that do not have locks on the doors. These cars can be caused when the right combination to mitigate the keyboard is under the door. Newer vehicles have door locks that can be activated by a fingerprint. With advances in technology continue to build cars by the end of a standard car key.
Another security feature allows the car will be tracked by satellite, in case of theft or a car accident. It can be violated by the recording equipment, a person on a remote road easy to find. If the car is stolen, it can be monitored and the system is now integrated with police scanners.

Many families who need a vehicle that can operate both as a functional family car and drive. These people need a vehicle used is a gas well and is small enough to go during commuting to work. However, we must accommodate the vehicle is in a position within the family while traveling with suitcases and other objects in tow.
Search for an accessible vehicle, which was slightly more than one operation is often difficult, can be used in the past. However, the manufacturer, claims many options for families are met. There are hybrid vehicles, up to eight people comfortably. There are also various types of vehicles, there is more interior space than before.
Vehicles of the family most recently designed with extra features that are built into DVD players in the back seat of the car. These players can withstand regular use by young children. They have touch screens, easy handling of the Car DVD player that can be easily fitted to the unit. In most cases, an owner of the Car DVD is close to the location where the child is.
Security features are the cars that do not have locks on the doors. These cars can be caused when the right combination to mitigate the keyboard is under the door. Newer vehicles have door locks that can be activated by a fingerprint. With advances in technology continue to build cars by the end of a standard car key.
Another security feature allows the car will be tracked by satellite, in case of theft or a car accident. It can be violated by the recording equipment, a person on a remote road easy to find. If the car is stolen, it can be monitored and the system is now integrated with police scanners.

Studios Wise to Focus on Turning the Masses Blu
I hate cliches with a passion, but in this case there’s simply no better way to say it than this: The studios are finally putting the cart behind the horse instead of the other way around.
For much of last year, questioned the wisdom of comics ever more inventive options alive, if 1) Blu-ray Disc, there was regular and 2) the vast majority of people who have Blu-ray Disc had not strapped to the Internet . Exclusive content and menus of climate change is all very well, heres butCand another cliche, I feel obliged to usec studios seem to take a rich, over-the-top party, but nothing came.
But in recent months, theres a remarkable change in attitude in the studio, and welcomed me warmly. To save the new thinking, emotions and decorative items for later, when everyone has Blu-ray Disc, and instead focus on becoming a Blu-ray hardware and software in the hands of everyone and his brother.
The way to do this is simple: Focus on a compelling, the message is easy to see blu-ray center more video and audio (HDTV you need a disk HD) PhD work then how the devil bite masses.
To achieve this, we must move from one standard to DVD Blu-ray Disc so easy and simple as humanly possibleCand I have seen all of Hollywood lately seems to be a step in the right direction.
Price parity is definitely a big step. Especially in this economic environment, you may be required to pay $ 30 for a movie, especially if you should take the same movie on DVD for $ 15. The proverbial sweet spot seems to be less than $ 20 for youth and less than $ 10 on the list, and it is something to see. For those who still mourn the devaluation, keep in mind that if Blu-ray has Fang ON and fast start, we could not devalue any product.
The second important step that provides benefits to consumers by adopting a kind of hard to reach in all seasons. Recognize that even if a person Blu-ray Disc is not clear that HES will buy a Blu-ray Disc version of the standard disc DVD, because that person is probably a car DVD player in his car and his room and a DVD player in the laptop. At this stage, at least for consumers, should offer both, so I think that Disney pioneered complex package and universals Flipper disc in the morning.
Blu-ray, as soon as we anchor in the mainstream, we can always go back to jazz up the extras. Produce BD-Live features, the new fund and making coffee in the morning because of me. But first we must take care of the basics. And the easiest to see what exactly is the studio seems to do.

Keeping the children happy when driving
The first time we facing this huge dilemma, whereas the neighborhood store my game. A stressed mother came hoping to find some ideas to keep their children happy with a full album for the home of his parents. After working for six years before it has even a mother, it became clear that parents are totally against the daily issues of education often feel cold when it's time to put their children on long car trips. You have no idea how to avoid the collapse of chaos, Screaming lessons, and we always complain style. There is hope, and with a little planning, most if not all of these situations can be avoided.
Lets get the obvious diversionary tactics of the street so we can get things very well. A car DVD player with some classic favorites and new things never seen, although this is by age groups and personalities of your children, you know, try to work with new CI and what is best for both. Children's books on tape for you to bring podcasts and open your favorite music by your children is always a good idea. Considering the iPod and mp3 players are also an option, but you might want limits placed on them, be careful as so often happens, be sure to discuss these limits with children in advance. I think the same thing for games instead of hand-decorated Nintendo DS-C restrictions or switch will have advance directives to avoid future disputes.
Package about a month before the trip with a laundry basket and go through the house with two ideas in mind a) What activities games /) favorite and B can be completed in a car. For most young people want, you can not, let them know you are in this way for the elderly, could do about it. Well, now you have a lot to get the best and keep hidden until the trip so you can have games with a new complaint to be prepared, but negotiable favorites for your trip!
Some ideas, favorite card games, stuff, action figures, Polly Pockets and processors, games, travel, etc. is often not a bag for each child with their own, but has increased our family, I found it easier to stuck in a Fun-operate in the pocket, instead of dealing with too many things with his feet in the van.
First, take a trip to the nearest dollar and use thick, things to touch, as I am, sticky, stretchy toys, books, activity and coloring empty and investment laptop, noisemakers (It is better to have a harmonica as a child to listen cry) a little mystery in a book on a series to play the disks, magnetic sticker activities chewing gum if you have the mountains, to pop ears and my favorite, Glo-in - Drive the-dark necklaces, bracelets, etc., it is too dark to be sure something else C, non-toxic to the market during the second son, who tends to bite after an hour or two! We put them even around the hotel rooms as night lights for children to make their way in a strange room at night to navigate!
Share your kids toys C can help you! Auto Bingo is a classic in my family, just take the squares of paper with a big black marker and a ruler to draw four or five lines down, and even more, then save after a trip to the dollar stickers livestock, cars, trucks, road signs, animals, dogs, birds, cats, etc. in each box to see a map for all travelers, but not the driver, and children are easy things to mark their cards to see a line of C Bingo! Then the cards will arrive in the system and starts a new game. The best way to choose the laminated and then use a pen to mark and rub facial tissue.
Other games have hit red on the search for clean sheets, barn, horses, or counting the classic game Punch Buggy C-minus, offer space in our car. Another classic in my family, cue cards include a bridge with a cause, found worldwide. The traffic lights, railroad crossing, emergency vehicles, churches, speed limits, totem, animal crossing, petrol stations, favorite restaurants, etc. We have to play cards before and we have 3 at a time when you have a party your articles, put the card in turn, point and draw another card, the first five wins! These variations can steal any part of the values of various points or tickets show as a point card from another player, select a card and put it in the pile of your score to lose or gain a point of negotiation with the hands of other players, etc. Be creative and inventive, you can add sites or special arrangements for your trip!
Look for a final thought, stopping on the way to fun, free or cheap seats, it adds time, but for an unforgettable trip.
When our family with a record 21 hours, we decided that it lasts 3 days and remained for small museums, aquariums, a winery tour, a shopping center a person with a big old wooden horses - tour in Hershey, Pennsylvania, a park situation and other neat stops along the road.
Before your trip make a list of cities, traveling through Google and then see the region or one of the nice places to stop, which could be an ideal trip for your children. In these moments, when and where possible, much stress and boredom, a long trip with children for relief.
In planning ahead for fun, you can definitely find a happier family, and is a positive move for memories that last a lifetime. Happy Trails!

Fw: Eonon E1057 Final Review
(This blog is written by an Eonon Car DVD customer, the souce is here: http://link-1111.blogspot.com/2009/11/eonon-e1057-final-review.html. )
Opening statement: Eonon E1057 special car dvd item was never intended to be installed into a Vios, but into my sister's 2007 Yaris Sedan. The Vios has practically the interior ripped out from a Yaris with all the same faceplates, harnesses, fittings and sizes.
Delivery: Very fast delivery to Australia. Item was ordered on the 8th and received on the 14th. Also the tracking number was provided and was sent by DHL (reliability in action)
Connections & First start: The wiring was a dream with the harness being a quick clip with no extra harnesses or material being required. Everything was done pretty quickly and installed without too much strain. Eventually was stressing a bit as pressing the volume button did not start the unit. Eventually realized the SRC button is the power button. (Only one thing the manual was good for) Boot up time doesn't feel like the 40 seconds stated on most Eonon HU's and is pretty fast. Layout of the headunit is great and placed very well. Also looks brilliant even when not installed. [10/10]
Videos and DVDs: Screen quality is GREAT. Practically all DVDs tested so far are playing on this unit. Playing movies is brilliant on this screen with 6.2" not being too small for looking nor too big for the dash. Regardless, there is a tiny bit of grain on the image which pulls the point down by .5. The grain isn't too obvious, but being pedantic, I have to comment. [9.5/10]
Radio & Audio: One word to describe the audio. BRILLIANT. An awesome upgrade from the factory stock headunit, sounding clearer and louder on the stock speakers than before. I have pushed the speakers and haven't got any distortion before we deemed it too loud at 11pm and turned it down. The radio running through the stock antenna is great as well. It picks up channels I didn't even know existed! Elsewards, easy to navigate and use. [10/10]
USB & SD: Quickly syncs track names etc to the HU. Would have been good having the USB connection on the rear and running a hidden cable to a different location. Also the interface when exploring the USB is badly organised. The scroll bar is tiny and hard to navigate around folders and files. [7/10]
Bluetooth: Easy to pair to mobile phones, quick transmission with incoming phone calls. But the microphone is lacking and doesn't pick up much so need to use the microphone on the phone still. [7/10]
GPS: GPS unit was included and is a little bit bulky having to have the GPS box AND a receiver, where it would have been good having the GPS box integrated into the HU and having the blanked out slot at the front as the GPS SD card. Other than that, boot up time for GPS is decent and the interface is great and easy to use (Using PolNav). The GPS is easy to use, high quality and decent at recalculating routes. Also picks up the GPS signal REALLY fast, compared to my handheld GPS unit. [10/10]
TV: To tell the truth, TV was one of the most time consuming and irritating things to configure. The manual has nothing on how to wire it and also looking on the forum didn't have any answers, so by taking assumptions and plugging the one tv cable, you are left with 2 other cables in the end. Tried grounding these and spent hours trying to work it out before giving up and disconnecting the tv antenna. A better explanation would be good and statements for which PAL to use (there is PAL M, I, N, BG etc) I'll give 1 point for atleast having a tv connection. Hopefully I will be able to work out how to wire these connections and the TV segment will work [Incomplete/10 giving a 1/10. Hopefully will rise after getting the connections working]
Manual: Honestly...utterly useless. Unit it simple to use and the manual states alot of "functions and what they do" not really much on trouble shooting, wiring, etc. Also, the english version isn't that good and usually leaves you feeling frustrated of laughing at the lingo. [1/10 for trying]
Installing faceplate + headunit into dash: Using the stock brackets which came with the stock headunit didn't align up with all 4 holes on the headunit, but the main 2 were aligned and those would hold it in place. Attaching the airvents onto the aftermarket faceplate was a little difficult and you always feel like you are going to break something. Eventually fits in perfectly and flush, just like stock (never going to do that again). Installing the faceplate into the dash was the difficult part. It was very twitchy trying to get in and required alot of pushing (clicks easily in place with the stock surround faceplate though) but eventually got everything except the bottom two clips in all the way. There is a slight incline due to the bottom clips not fitting properly and the color is SIMILAR but not 100% but in the end, it still looks like a stock install. [9/10]
Support and Warranty: Brilliant knowing that you have 2 years warranty afterwards incase the item plays up or anything. Live support to Clara was great, friendly, quick to respond and redirected me in the right direction. Email support is a little lacking though, taking an extended time for replies (still waiting on a reply sent 2 weeks ago to ask if the unit will fit into a Yaris...regardless as it will be a little late since it's already bought and installed. Hopefully doesn't take too long for a reply on how to fix the tv antenna) [7/10]
Final score: 71.5/100 and due to increase once Eonon contact me regarding the TV

A better explanation would be good and statements for which PAL to use (there is PAL M, I, N, BG etc) I'll give 1 point for atleast having a tv connection. Hopefully I will be able to work out how to wire these connections and the TV segment will work [Incomplete/10 giving a 1/10. Hopefully will rise after getting the connections working]
Manual: Honestly...utterly useless. Unit it simple to use and the manual states alot of "functions and what they do" not really much on trouble shooting, wiring, etc. Also, the english version isn't that good and usually leaves you feeling frustrated of laughing at the lingo. [1/10 for trying]
Installing faceplate + headunit into dash: Using the stock brackets which came with the stock headunit didn't align up with all 4 holes on the headunit, but the main 2 were aligned and those would hold it in place. Attaching the airvents onto the aftermarket faceplate was a little difficult and you always feel like you are going to break something. Eventually fits in perfectly and flush, just like stock (never going to do that again). Installing the faceplate into the dash was the difficult part. It was very twitchy trying to get in and required alot of pushing (clicks easily in place with the stock surround faceplate though) but eventually got everything except the bottom two clips in all the way. There is a slight incline due to the bottom clips not fitting properly and the color is SIMILAR but not 100% but in the end, it still looks like a stock install. [9/10]
Support and Warranty: Brilliant knowing that you have 2 years warranty afterwards incase the item plays up or anything. Live support to Clara was great, friendly, quick to respond and redirected me in the right direction. Email support is a little lacking though, taking an extended time for replies (still waiting on a reply sent 2 weeks ago to ask if the unit will fit into a Yaris...regardless as it will be a little late since it's already bought and installed. Hopefully doesn't take too long for a reply on how to fix the tv antenna) [7/10]
Final score: 71.5/100 and due to increase once Eonon contact me regarding the TV
