I think Sean is tied up at the moment, the shipment that is due to be sent out today/ tomorrow is mucked up, they have done the RDS on the units BUT have lost the TV!!! same problem Kathy had the beginning of March!!!!!

That's why I say "I might get the unit" paid extra for RDS and TMCa and Sean is not sure if either are working? and now the bad news about TV

Default Last minute change?

Hi Sean and all,

I am a bit suspicious as to the very late dropping of this "bombshell". I also struggle with the "not enough memory" line as presumably RDS(radio) would not be making calls on the memory while the analogue TV is on. I have a 2 year old generic Chinese 2din unit in my Rover right now that has Analogue TV and RDS with no memory conflicts.
The cynical part of me wonders if they have run out of the TV modules....

Having dealt with our "friends in the east" before, I can't help thinking we are being "herded" into a position that suits them, using our desire (having waited so long) to get these units quickly.

I personally would prefer to wait till they have sorted out this mess, rather than rush in with a last minute bodge job.

For example, are they going to remove the TV from the menu options, Remote, mode cycle? Or can they default it to the External Digital TV unit?

I paid extra for this unit from Sean for this very eventuality, and I know he will be working very hard to get us more information on the situation. It's times like this where it's good to have someone who can talk directly to the factory.

What are others waiting for these units thinking? would welcome your thoughts (or comments on my thoughts).

Regards
Adrian

Hope we get some answers soon, have waited for this unit. I too have a chinese d/din unit with DVB-T built in and RDS (no TMC) works fine, just want one that looks right in my ZT.

Look like we have a number of number of unhappy people. The last message I got from Sean was that he was waiting for a reply from China, that was last night. There is no news today (so far) I can see the units will NOT be shipped today as promised!!!

With the tv module removed it will skip tv when you cycle through with the mode button,however,the icon remains on the main home screen but shows invalid when pressed.

Hi Adrian
I am afraid that I can'y comment on the herding. But I have strong doubts that that occured.I could be wrong. We had the choice to go ALL TV or ALL RDS. this came at the last hours. I think they were trying to make test and produce all at the same time, which in my opinion is a poor way to do things and could put us in this position.

Have they confirmed that the price WILL be reduced if they are not providing the TV function? We would expect this as they are not providing what we have paid for .
