Looks Identical but £40 cheaper. I'm gutted now

To be fair the one I'm getting has a three year warranty and the one above is a year

Well first impressions this is a fantastic bit of kit for £100. I want to fit it in the space occupied by the Dash storage but need to work out how to remove the lid. Any help greatly appreciated.

Tons of videos on YouTube with full step by step instructions.

Watch a few, grab the spanners & jump in

Thanks, I've seen the videos for removing it in it's entirety but not just removing the lid

Following the failure of my auto Electrician to turn up to hardwire this Seicare Unit I decided to just stick it on the dash and plug it in minus reverse camera at present.
So far so good, it hasn't fallen off, works as both wired and wireless android auto, boots up and connects fairly quickly and has a 4k dash cam which is excellent quality. I will continue to test it in the coming weeks but ultimately it is delivering android auto which is what I want. Sound quality is not great, it can connect over FM but I have it plugged into the Aux. My main use is podcasts and radio so that is sufficient. For a £100 I'm happy as I could neither afford or justify the nearly 9-10 X that as alternatives. Might attempt to fit the reverse camera if I'm feeling brave.

Good news that it works…

Well I'm glad I installed this as it has a Dash Cam as yesterday I got sideswiped ona two lane slip road entry to the M20. They managed to damage every panel and my alloys and just kept driving. Fortunately I have it all on video including their number plate. Gutted at the damage as had the car exactly as I wanted.

So heard back from bodyshop and shock absorber knocked out of spec so needs replacing which means the steering rack needs replacing according to BMW procedure. Two alloy wheels to be repaired, one tyre, door mirror cap replacement, bumper repainted, bonnet, door and rear quarter scratch and dent repair. Thank goodness for insurance

I was honestly expecting to see write off in that sentence somewhere. Good you’ve got sorted out and the dash cam helped you out

Thanks Andy
