Yeah, that thing actually looks pretty good. One of the better ones on paper in recent memory...BTW, any idea on what's with the 2 holes above the climate control knobs?



Now the question is who is going to take the initial dive to buy and test it out. Anyone up for spending their tax rebate???

No problem Monoxide, I figured it was worth sharing to the 6 community B-)

The Great NY, I am with you on that, it is def. photo editing.

I am willing to take a chance on it, when/if I ever get the funds, but I need more info from the company (s/n ratio, input sensitivity, etc.) before I am willing to commit.

Kamikazi: I am not sure what those holes are, was wondering the same thing.. They arent on the "photoshopped" image that I can see. It is also really bugging me to know where the signal lights/hazard button would be relocated to.

all in all, I am very impressed with this one as far as looks. I am willing to bet the buttons may be cheap though. They dont look all that great in my opinion. A finish like that with a ridge/hump loses the text on the buttons easily in my opinion.


Overall I thought it would be a nice thing to share :)



P.s... Anyone notice the April Fools day on the screen? I hope that isnt a sign... AKA fake... I would HOPE acompanies dont do that cruelty to us! :-/

I was looking for the hazards also. I also have questions on the GPS with upgrades. Most factory navs offer updates with CDs or SD cards from the dealership but for this unit if you want to update, you might end up buying 3rd party maps.

If those are real screenshots of the GUI and menus, quality of graphics looks very comparable to those of factory systems I have seen in friends' cars. I just don't have that money to burn if this thing turns out to be junk or the company to be bogus. I was reading their FAQ and the answers seems cut and pasted from a translation program. Customer service may be spotty.

On another note, I was taking a hard look today at where the screen would sit in my car. Objectively, that's pretty far down to be looking at if I was using GPS down there or messing with any other options on the GUI for more than a second. In todays cars, most screens are placed up as high as possible so the driver will take their eyes off the road for as little as possible. I personally would prefer something in the dash compartment. Maybe just having a nav unit in the place of the radio is a bad location idea overall.

Look at the before and after pictures also. The before has the auto climate controls and the after has the manual climate controls.

hey guys i am the one who has actually bought and installed this piece, looks like mine was purchased right from the distributor in china. as in update the units fit is awesome i have to say! the functions are also very good for an after market piece. the only issue i have had is the display for the climate control doesnt work any longer, as well interesting enough neither does the rear defrost nor the hazard buttons? which i am in talks with china to figure this out. but truly not sure if i will keep this unit, might just frankenstein a metra and factory dash to work with an after market unit??? does the metra kit work with the mazdaspeed 6? i mean the display for the auto climate? will keep up with more info when i recieve it from china

tflare, yes it will fit an 03 ACCORDING to their website, but not from me lol.

Shootermorris: Yours is slightly different than that one. I see the hazard button and defrost button on yours. They dont seem, to work huh?

All in all, would you recommend the unit vs. the cost? How much did you pay, and where did you get yours?

I purchased mine from fedomcn google search them thy have lotsa neat car stuff, similar to product like fly audio and metevo. I paid 550 shipped, not sure IF that was a special price as I told him that I am a retailer?! So the unit it self was 380 plus shipping of 120 after duties and all it was 550! I would recommend this piece even with the problems of the hazards and the rear defrost. As much as I look forward to ripping past some one and flashing my four ways at him! My installer is presently in the process of frankensteining a metra kit with the factory dash assembly and making it a single din(unfortunately) but all in all I am happy with my fedomcn dash deck combo

Dear Mr. Denny,


Thanks for your reply.
Wish everything goes well with you.

Now, I have to tell you the truth that our C7023M6 has a disadvantage.
It can display the temperature if your car is with semi auto climate, but not auto climate.
Others are OK.
So we wonder if your climate is semi auto or complete auto.

Here still with something to share: --- Our iPod connection can display iPod song list and song names.
Also, our device can charge iPod.
But many others can't achieve this, or even it doesn't support iPod connection.
--- DVD Laser, we use Sharp 61, which is special for Car use -- anti high temp., anti shaking conditions, etc.
But many others may only use Hitachi 1200, which is for home DVD use.
--- We have Better CPU and Screen:
CPU - PRIMA ARM 11, 600MHz, which is 3 times faster than most models in the market.


--- We use best components to produce our devices to support good quality.
--- We have more functions for fun, notepad, games, etc.


Waiting for your reply.
And then we will give you the price information.

Looking forward to the bright future of your company.
