Alpine GPS/Radio INW-W940Ei Purchase and Instal

[BamBam Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close BamBam]

Hi all,
Looking to purchase and self-instal one of these in the Prado 120.
eBay has them for less than half the Aussie price from the US, but wondering if any risks re GPS and Maps?
Ideally, I could do a Map Update out of the Box.
Any thoughts?
Here is a link to the unit on eBay. RRP in Oz is $1599. Install an extra $200 plus $140 to wire-up the steering wheel controls.

BamBam, I have a Alpine IVE-W530ABTi fitted to my 150 SX. It works great have no problems. At least coming from the States it is in English.

Thanks SOL

I contacted Alpine - a Dealer instal comes with 3 years warranty - self instal doesn't .

I may head for the dealer supply/instal, even tho the price diff is very significant.
