Internet advertised prices are usually either for the supplier's home market or exclusive of any taxes; they will not include UK taxes (unless the supplier is in UK).  If you buy something mail/internet order from outside UK you can expect to pay import duties and VAT (depending on the goods, you may pay less if the supplier is within the EU).  On US websites, I think prices usually include state taxes, even though these vary from state to state, but will not include UK taxes.

Sorry - I was not complaing about having to pay the taxes per se; I was simply complaining that whilst the payment to mp3playerstore for the duff DVD player should be recoverable via my credit card issuer, the payment of any taxes probably wont be, unless you know otherwise??

Hi Dally,

 

Had problems with the donuts as the screens are 7inch widescreen, however returned to dealer that I bought the carf rom for advice. Sales man was spot on and exchanged the front donuts for solid headrests fom a Galaxy on the forecourt at no cost to me.

Local Car Trimmer is fitting them at

jessam,

 

I think you've won all round!

 

I think you will find that the monitors in the headrest is really the most versatile and effective solution. And to top it - a ford dealer doing you such a favour??

 

Let us know how you get on.

That was me being stupid. If you send the unit back and get a refund, you might well be able to get the VAT back from Customs & Excise (if the amount is worth the forests of paper you'll no doubt need to complete.

Just replaced my dead player with the innovatek and things are back to normal in the back of the car, though I'm starting to get a bit cockey now. I would like to connect the player to the Ford sat nav screen now, though this raises a number of questions.

 

Can I connect the s-video to the aux input at the back of the sat nav unit, and if so would the player power both the roof screen and the sat nav screen?

 

What cable would I need, and where can I buy one from?

 

Can the sat nav unit be hacked to allow the unit to play movies whn driving?

 

cheers for the help

You need an interface to show TV/DVD on the sat nav but this is very easy to fit a lot of people on here go for a soundlinx one But there are several options depending what sort of signal you want, PAL or NTSC, I think soundlinx auto switches between both standards but I have heard story

Please note, the soundlink aux adaptor does not support s-video it only has composite video feed!
