Appears you were lurking to find out not if but when the China knock off head unit causes a dash electrical fire in his car.

I am sure in some fashion you can place a toaster in that spot and would not need a DIY to do it, my question would be why you would want to?

Again sure you can buy knock-off brake pads, rotors, motor mounts. electrical and other such parts from China off of eBay for a fraction of the cost with inferior ratings but why would you put those in a Porsche?

Just my opinion, it is your ride and do so as makes you happy


I would not put generic stereo in the same row as brake pads, rotors, motor mounts etc
This is just stereo and it's not gonna affect the car or my safety

And since it's got way more features than name brands units most are installing
Why wouldn't I give it a shot???
Especially at this price
I'm running one generic gps/DVD in my suv for last 5years, no fire yet
I'm sure they share most of the parts anyway(like plasma tv did,there was like 4 manufacturers of the screens itself and hundreds of tv brands
The most important is that somebody just went for it and is giving as preview of what it does and how it does

Btw.
Toaster - that was stupid idea
We do have toaster in the trunk anyway
Beer cooler sounds better!!!

Happy speeding
