So I believe I am now on the staff as an unpaid technical advisor.

Not only technical advisor but also photographer & marketing advisor, because unless I'm very much mistaken, Hualigan website now sports a photo of your install.

As Picky said in his updated post, the updated version with DVB-T will be ready by 10th December. I have now asked if it is possible to add a TMC internal module for this date and they said they can do it by then, if not before

!

The new price, which includes the original unit ($345) upgraded to DVB-T ($45), TMC ($40) and p+p (DHL $86) is US$516. Then, you have to add the £25 money transfer fee and of course, there is also the risk of customs adding their cut!!

I have been promised an email as soon as it is ready. Can't wait!

Dear Santa........! (Cc Mr. Visa!!)

All in all, a 100% unit for 320 British Pounds (minus customs lol). Thats flipping good value for money.

That's some exchange rate you are getting - in reality think it will be just under £350

You should be ashamed of yourself - what have you done to the price obtainable for the original fit highline set up where you have 6 boxes in the back and a mile of wiring to run to the front

I suppose the answer to 'what is the best thing to come out of MG Rovers collapse' is this - I doubt if these would have been produced if the 75/ZT was not being made in China

I don't want to pay for things I would not want nor use.
Picky's original unit with RDS which is how it was advertised even if it didn't work would have done for me and I may have bought one at that price.

I have put the question to Cathy (via Windows Messenger) at Hualingan about making the unit to the customers spec. This is exactly what was said:
Paul says:
Hi Cathy. A question about the 8733 (from the Rover 75/MG ZT members forum). The new model will be available with DVB-T and TMC at extra cost. Will these be OPTIONAL extras or will people be able to buy just the basic unit at $345 and TMC if they wish, or the basic unit and DVB-T with no TMC, or will they be able to buy the basic unit only still (after 10th December)?
Paul says:
What I am trying to say is, can the customer order it to their own specification, with or without the options? I hope I have explained myself OK.
cathy--6.2inch7.0inch car dvd -V-6 disc changer memory,PICTURE IN PICTURE FUNCTION says:
yes, well noted, yes, the member can only have this model as $345 , dont choose any other functions, and also can choose the TMC, DVB-T by themselves, if choose , add money, if dont, so don't need pay the extra money.

So, this is another result. However, I have been asked by Cathy to find out approximate numbers of people that would be interested in this, with or without the options. I will start another thread.

A question about the bluetooth - is it possible to dial out with voice commands or some other handsfree?

The square shaped version that I had previously purchased (not yet fitted to car) will only allow you to dial a number by pressing the correct numbers on the touchscreen keypad.
