Hello
I am currently in talks with Xcarlink on a potential discount for our members on the video interface unit which will suit our members who currently have the factory Sat Nav unit. If you review this http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.php?productid=149&cat=3&page=1 you will see the features.
In a nutshell the product is currently priced at £122 but I am negotiating a discount for our members. The product will allow you to connect an external video/Game source and even reverse camera to be fed into the Factory Sat Nav screen.
I am just wondering how many members would be interested in this. I for one are really looking forward to this type of mod and being a pre facelift Accord I cannot attach a reverse camera but with this product its an easy thing.
Xcarlink has a reputation for reliability so not worried about build quality and they offer a warranty. There products are of high standard and not your usual cheap Chinese products.
so gang who would be interested?
