Just spotted this and was wondering if anyone can see anything iffy or incompatible (with Ireland or the fto) about it?
Looks ok to me so if no one else can spot anything...

Can't see anjy problems with it, you would want to check the FM freququency range to ensure its Europe compatible.

Had a look at this kind of stuff when I was choosing mine and the only the thing that detered me was it was coming in from HONG KONG, maybe someone else here has purchased from this far a field?? but if you have difficulties can it be sorted here? or do you need to send it all the way back? To be honest the price of these stereos have come down dramatically here in Ireland so it might be a better choice to have a look around. I know AutoPlanet in Limerick were doing a couple of deals there recently. But for the comfort of being able to go back to the shop etc is a plus.

Looks good from what I can see, if it does all it says it does of course! It would be worth checking what region dvds it plays too though, I saw a dvd player from hong kong before that played region 1 only (we're region 2).

Not a bad deal at all though if it does work out!

Yeah that's the spot right alongside superquinn. They fit it aswell for you. They can also get you anything you want, the beauty is you can haggle away with them too. I got €150 off my one, not bad I thought. Mine is a Pinoeer touch screen, with remote if you choose to use it, TV/DVD player, MP3 player, CD, optional extras that you can add on, CD Changers, Sat Nav, Cameras and a crap load of other stuff that I can't remember.

I bought my DVD changer player yoke from Hong Kong - but I was asked to specify what "region" I wanted the radio to work in.. So some manufactures actually pay attention to what they're doing..

Another cool thing about it that it plays DivX - it's not mentioned in the spec at all but it definately works..v.strange..(the older version did DivX, but according to manufacturer it was removed in the version I bought due in compatibility issues)..

You should be safe enough buying things from HulaHula, just make sure that you take customs charges into account, prolly about 20-30e..and make sure that you ask seller/manufacturer all questions BEFORE buying, cause returning stuff is expensive, and you'll be paying the shipping & insurance.
