@shauns: For sure, you said it. I wasn't into spending a fortune on a stereo for an old Mondeo anyway. And this one really does the trick well, at a quarter of the price of say an Alpine. Little back-up from China but that was the risk I was willing to take, which paid off when I successfully installed it back at the start of June (and later decided to go for the SD update!).
The biggest problem, when I decided to take the update, was the service from the retailer. They were just a bit lazy and lacking customer care.
Xtrons, the Chinese stereo manufacturer, have done a great job, it works very well indeed. Still need to do a quick vid of it back in again.
