Clancy Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hi, just joined but been following this thread with interest as I have been looking at both units and prefer this one to the Dynavin. Does anyone know if Car-Vision have went out of business, I have tried to access their site but keep getting a page from a U.K. Leather company. If Carvision has gone under, are there any other U.K. suppliers of this unit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clancy Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Cheers, I can access it now with your link but still directing me to UK Leather when googling Car Vision, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmy Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I can't seem to find the head unit of car vision uk anymore. Am I just being dim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakey Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I can't seem to find the head unit of car vision uk anymore. Am I just being dim? They have updated their website, i have just updated the links on my first post of this thread (post 2). I think Pauls review must be one of the most anticipated threads on this forum :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfoley30 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I think Pauls review must be one of the most anticipated threads on this forum :-) At the moment I don't have the air con relocation module, how far can I get without it?? Will the air con unit just have to rattle around in the space while I wait or the piece to arrive? and will I be left with a gaping hole in my dash? I will fit the module eventually I am just wondering if I can get away without it for a few days? I really want to fit this today (and only partly so I can show it off ) So reply ASAP please Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 To update this a tad. I called car vision this morning to only be told they were expecting them in this week! Have not heard that before I know Paul has got his through, but i extremely doubt there is any list of customers etc, as i have never got a call yet! So keep persuing them as otherwise you wont get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keep persuing them as otherwise you wont get one! Thats weired, I was looking at ordering one and their online store shows in-stock! So it makes me ask the question if its in stock, why haven't you got yours. So to that effect I'm holding off yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Court Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Ah I was under the impression that I only had a Business CD Unit, and that I couldn't fit a Sat Nav Version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 yeah you can, they all have nav etc. I think the only difference is the tuner option of digital or analogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Spoke to John for a while today, and he has reassured me somewhat. Hopefully they will be in asap, and then i can actually get one Dynavin were exactly the same when they first came out, so hopefully its just demand issues, as it does seem a better unit all round! Hopefully John from Car vision will be on here later, as its always helpful having someone on the site for availability and any updates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-n Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 i received mine today when it was meant to have been sent out Monday so i was pleased that it had finally arrived until i opened it and saw it has been sent with the 40 pin connector instead of the correct 17 pin connector that i ordered i also ordered the amplified Aeriel but only got a standard tv Aeriel so john will have yet another phone call from me,i just hope he can sort this soon as i don't want to be waiting weeks for a replacement. i did think about cutting off the 40 pin connector and replacing it with the 17 pin as it's straightforward swap except for one thing, which is i'm not sure about the correct can bus input wire from the car side of the wiring and also that it may invalidate the warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingLucky Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Im not bothering now, just going to get an M3 with the BMW nav You are aware the BMW nav is p**s poor arent you? IMO not worth the 1K premium they command over a non-nav M3. However the E46 M3 is an astonishing car, you'll never look back. I know opinion is divided but for me, SMG all the way, wouldn't be without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
