I know how reputable some of the local traders here can be, so I'd be a bit careful about buying from a HK trader (except me of course ). I'm sure the trader is probably legit, but if you have any problems then you could have problems getting a replacement or your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the Japanese headunits that need band width expanders, not HK ones. All the head units sold in HK are compatible with the UK, ie. radio band widths are the same, RDS works, etc. Also all DVD players here are region free, so will play all DVD regions. I can get very good deals on ICE products here and have sourced various things (head units, DVD players, amps, speakers etc.) for quite a few members.
