Now Don't Forget The REP!!!
I've got the same make in mine mate, but in a 7" screen version, the dvd quality is pretty good for what you pay for them, the radio quality could be better? but maybe a better aerial would sort that out?? sound quality isn't too bad either could maybe do with a few more levels of bass, but my sub box sorted that out :thumbup1: not had any problems with it though :thumbup1:

Have you checked that the antenna on the car is still getting it's ignition12v feed as if not the booster don't work thus making tuning very poor

Behind the headynit there is a antenna cable connected into the plug is a White connector with a black cable this has silver dashes on this needs to go to 12v ign this is normally yellow on the radio harness connected to your headunit or the power ant if your headunit has one I don't have a pic as I'm no where near the car lol

Here's a rubbish pic of mine. Do not use scotchlocks like I did though (I know better now lol). The blue wire from my head unit harness is connected up to power the aerial booster :

The power cable for the booster is joined onto that antenna elad (i.e. a cable with two wires), and needs to be powered because with the OEM head unit removed, if you don't specifically connect it then that booster won't be getting any power.
