Consider me watching this thread closely as well! I am all for trying out cheap Chinese products.

Though it says motorized? That mean the face tucks away? Or moves up and out? Any idea?

When you get it installed. Can you take a video going through the various screens and such? Would love to see what kind of lag the unit has, as well as what the various screens look like. It seems a lot of name-brand units have terrible looking screens...

Nice find, lets us know how it works out..
I'm kind of curious of the depth of the the radio cavity.
The radio spec states 160 mm or 6.3 inches, does anybody know the depth of the Boxster radio cavity?

You also might want to check out this 2 DIN installation kit..

Installing one of these is my plan too. But I do not have that section between the center console and the current (stock) radio.

Any ideas on what that piece is called so I can try to find one?

If you check the link, you'll see that the screen moves out at the bottom and tilts back to expose the dvd/cd slot and possibly change the viewing angle(?).

Very curious about the quality of the display, as most of the images in the ebay listing are photoshopped and not actual screen captures. My main concern would fall into the "too good to be true" category. Looking forward to hearing about your experience with it!
