we had mp3 players for music, then mp4 players for video so mp5 must be some super awesome future tech!
reminds me of a theme park I was at recently near barcelona, it had a 5D cinema! :laughing: cheeky

No such thing as an MP5 player.
It's a marketing term used by cheap Asian manufacturers (Sunday market type stuff).
A .MP5 file is actually a file extension used for a maths application called Maple.
I fear this device will have questionable quality on both hardware and software interface.
It's 99p and you just supply the serial number of the stereo which is usually around the back of it. You might need a simple tool that looks like two prongs to pull the stereo. Don't be put off by this, it's a doddle. Just google 'nissan stereo tool'. You can get them on ebay for about £1-2 as well. There's nothing dodgy here, but please please please don't spend £68 to get your stereo unlocked. It's just a nonsense.

Thinking about adding a rear view/parking camera for my mother's Focus (I think it's a 2013), but not sure about a new head unit. Any suggestions?

My mrs wouldn't be without it now, so get on with it ;-) not sure about going this way though as I think you can get something to do that single job for about the same price but less effort.

I've gone for a large android head unit. I paid a guy to install a camera to it (simple plug, just needs power wired into the rear light), and he just wired it around the side stead of installing it, terrible service really.
In hindsight, there was a really cool looking "RearView Camera inside your center mirror" product on amazon, which I would probably get in lieu of a large head unit. Buttons on your rear-view mirror with an overlay display which shows the rear-view, among other things.

Ive asked loads of sellers if it will fit and if you would need extra surround and cables but NO can give answer. But if you get answers let me know cheers

A flux capacitor should do the trick. :smiley:

You'll need a harness adaptor for power and controls. They are about a fiver off the bay

I want one of these but my current Peugeot radio has a car settings menu built in and I don't know how to install the software into a new one :disappointed:

It's £40, it's going to be the worst kind of crap you can buy but it's cheap so people will buy it and accept it might last a year or two at best. At worst it'll just be useless and end up in the bin.

Worth noting it's not a cd/dvd player.

Makes you wonder how the car manufacturers can charge so much for their units ...
spannerzone to Bikertov

Because they make very well built units and can charge what they like more or less, usually, whereas this is probably been cobbled together using repurposed parts as so often the bottom of the range Chines makers do, eg get a load of cheap displays from some cancelled product and such like.
No different than a £30 7" tablet vs an ipad for £250, both do the same thing, one will be infinitely better build quality than the other,

Licensing. That GPS receiver in your car? That has patents and those patents need licensing for example. Other than that, better build quality (more expensive components) and also guaranteed supply of the units for X amount of years.
But yeah, still overpriced when taking that into account...simple reason is planned obsolescence, make you buy a new car than repair your otherwise perfectly functioning older vehicle which isn't earning them any money.

Because they're much better audio and build quality than the likes of this, besides the shafting of the consumer!
