And no support for steering wheels control makes such unit useless.

I now have the steering controls sort of working.
I had a problem with the time setting, it would not keep the right time.
James told me to use America1 in the radio settings, I did that and the time was fixed, however, the American AM band frequency is different from Australia.
As there is no listing for Australia in the Radio settings I will have to put up with having the wrong time or no AM radio?
Seems these units are not suitable for Australia and should not have been sold to Australians!
I have asked them for a firmware update to fix the problem, however, I doubt that it will happen.
James has tried his best, however, he is only a one man band working for himself and I don't think he has much influence in the factory.

The bugs in firmwares are the real problem with these units because there are no real firmware updates coming out - it is possible, I mean its a kind of standard dvd receiver board ;-)
Steering wheel support is basicly only for volume control. Skip does only work with DVD/SD/USB/RADIO when not in navi-mode at least for the older CN/ROF1701 model and doesnt work for ipod-mode at all. Same with "mode" but mode is a bit ridicilous with so many sources possible.
Bluetooth controls don't work expect that the BT Unit on/off button turns volume down, too ;-) The other buttons have no functions.

I bought a unit from Michael that broke down after three months.
I then bought a unit from a guy who posted on here named James, there are more bugs in his unit than the city dump.
James actually sent me an update, it only fixed one of the bugs and believe it or not, created another problem whereas I can't use the equalizer.
I have had a gut-full of the Chinese crap, a total waste of money.
Does anyone have a unit that they can recommend from their own experience please?

the big names
Get a kenwood or pioneer. Their functions work as advertised, the interface is written in english, not translated from chinese. They last a lot longer. I tried a valor unit originally. It lasted less than a year. My pioneer avic is going on 3 and shows no signs of slowing down. for 50% more cost up front, you get something that will last many times longer. You've bought two cheap units and now need to buy another. not cost effective.
I would suggest you buy a DVD head unit and a separate Garmin or Tomtom gps. You can take the portable GPS out and use it in other vehices (holiday rentals or whatever). The price is actually cheaper that way than integrating the two. You are getting a specialty function that each company does best.

Hey, I just purchased and installed a DVD/Navi unit from autodvdgps.com in China into my 2009 Outlander. Unit is the QL-OTL971 (http://www.autodvdgps.com/mitsubishi...en-p-1042.html). It also came with a back-up camera.
Just disconnected the stock stereo (for me this was the base unit with no cd changer, etc.). and plugged in the provided harneeses and it powered up. Issues that I need help with:
Every wire was harnessed except for the "Brake", "Speed", "Reverse", and "TV" wires...they are loose and need to match up with the factory wires. Here is the problem, I have no idea which factory wires are a match to the above (color wise)??? I need these in order for the DVD and navigation (IGO8) to function properly...I think I need the reverse for the camera to work also.
Any of you guys in this forum know which factroy wires (Mitsubishi Outlander) are for "Brake", "Speed", and "Reverse"?

You buy from him at your risk as if you need warranty repairs he just won't reply to your emails.
They wanted to send me directions on how to replace a few parts that I would have to buy locally, ya right.
As the bluetooth is very low they were going to send me a microphone to install, never received it or heard from James again.
Stay clear of James and Media World, he is bad news.
Also, don't buy any product made by Pen Hui, they are crap.
