I just won what is described as a "Kizashi XLS Multimedia Kit" off Ebay. It's a double DIN Kenwood head unit (~7" touchscreen) with Bluetooth (possibly GPS if I'm lucky??? ) The description and pics are sadly lacking. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Suzuki-Kizas ... fresh=true

Has anyone got that option fitted? It's for the "old" XLS model Kizashi, but I don't see me having too many issues with it fitting my 2011 Touring. If I gain nothing more than the larger screen, the capability for fitting a reversing camera and Bluetooth I'll be happy. :D

I've googled the part number with no success. (I'm also hoping it will include the double DIN fascia- but it's not pictured.)

Seems like a good deal no matter what it is? Although I love the look of the non nav unit aswell. Jealous of your find:P

It came up at the right time as I was researching buying a double DIN headunit - minimum specs I wanted included Bluetooth and reversing camera. If it's got GPS I'll be over the moon, even more so if there's a double DIN fascia included....

It does look like possibly this model (which is about the right year model for an Aussie XLS) http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk/pr ... DNX7240BT/ , but there were a few similar looking models back around 2010.

Yes, I searched and found that info. The one I'm getting (from the poor quality pics) is the full ~7" touch screen, whereas the DNX6020EX has a smaller screen and rotary volume knob.

:roll: Well, now the seller isn't answering Ebay messages and I'm unable to pay - as the seller needs to first send me an invoice with the freight price included...... (The buyer can't add the freight price on when paying.)

I can now see why their feedback is so bad.

I've even tried googling their name to see if it's a listed company, but no success (so I can't phone them.) :x

I also noticed PayPal isn't a payment option- I thought PayPal had to be an option with all Australian Ebay listings? With what's happened so far I'm a bit dubious about transferring money straight into their account.

I'd give them a flick pass, maybe report them to Ebay even. Defineately wouldn't send any money.
