Guys, I just thought I would report on my experience in buying and installing a replacement stereo head unit.
I wanted one with a built in digital TV tuner, rather than shelling out money for a unit with an analogue tuner that would be obselete in a few months.
I dealt with a company called A-sure, in Hong Kong. I was dubious to buy a chinese product at first, I considered this for months and swapped about a dozen e-mails with them before building up the confidence to buy. Everything seems to be made in China these days...
The unit I purchased is specific for Toyotas, with original fit and plugs etc. It has built in GPS, Digital TV tuner, reverse camera option, dual zone, dual SD card slots (one for Music and one for GPS maps) bluetooth, Ipod connection, USB, etc etc. It's a new model, due to be released on E-bay in coming weeks. They make the same thing for other brands of vehicles as well. I paid $670 with the reversing camera.
I have had it installed for about 2 weeks now and I am very happy. A-sure were good to deal with and have re-assured me that it is under warranty if anything was to go wrong. They had it all set up for me with GPS working etc. They even installed the demo version of Ozi explorer and had that working for me, so all I have to do is buy a license and get some maps of my area (I need help with maps, Ozi explorer maps are so confusing for a new user!).
I don't know how to post photos or I would. It looks good.
If you are interested in this product, you can talk to them directly, the person I dealt with is called Charlie. I am an engineer so I was not the easiest customer for them to deal with, but they satisfied me. Obviously I have only had it a couple of weeks so I cannot comment on longevity.

I expect these units will be popular in the future. Just another option I thought I would let you all know about.
This is my first post...
