No Alfred it hasn't arrived yet. Seems there was a problem when they told me it was being shipped last Tuesday. Got hold of the guy and found that the unit itself only shipped out yesterday.

Looking at the shipping number, it has departed the Hong Kong hub (assuming airport) and should be on it's way. From doing a bit of research, the flight time from Hong Kong to Perth is about 7h45m. Due to Hong Kong time being the same as Perth time, it should be here somewhere between 9 & 10am today (it left just after 2am this morning).

So fingers crossed that it gets dropped off today or tomorrow. I hope today. Either way, gonna have a look at getting a 92 Camry wiring loom plug to fit into the existing Soarer plug. Should save a heap of time, and I can do the full wiring hook up outside the car.

Will post up pics as soon as I have got it installed.

Do you know if this unit has an adjustable screen angle or is it fixed?

It is actually a fixed unit. If you look at the unit (picture inserted) you will see that it actually has the CD draw at the very top.

On a side note, I forgot that most things go through the Singapore hub before it comes direct to Perth. The unit is in Singapore and has got a flight with DHL to be shipped here shortly. I called DHL and they advised that from here it can take 2 business days. So looking at the unit getting here by Thursday, and thus me installing it either on the day or Friday afternoon. Pics hopefully by the weekend (fingers crossed).

That is a nice looking unit...

Do you have any technical info on it? I would be interested to see if the dvd drive has a data output, to plug into a pc? >.>

I don't have any technical information about it, but will let you know as soon as I receive it and what options there are for stuff like this. I'd be interested to know if it did, as then I could plug in a PC and run GPS off it. But looking at the current specs for it, I'd probably think there isn't.

Okay just got the confirmation that the unit was dropped off this morning, so it is sitting at home waiting for me.

I'll probably only have a chance of installing it late tonight or alternatively tomorrow. As I have got all the harnesses that I need, the only things I would need to do is:

* Connect the harness to the stereo wires
* Fit the head unit to the Soarer dash

Thankfully both of these things can be done outside of the car (hence why I can do it later tonight).

I will take pics of the install, and post it up in ICE. I'll link it from here when ready.
