The model I got is the premium version that is specifically designed for the 200 series with its additional surrounds

Bought direct from their website. I have had a couple of issues with the optioned tyre pressure sensors being, they did not ship with the original unit 9not really an issue but I contacted them anyway) and the tyre pressure kit turned up with 4 sensors instead of the five I ordered. A quick couple of emails back and forth and the additional sensor is on its way and they have been very good to deal with so far.

This is the one I have ordered and I optioned up with the TPMS and aerial signal booster. Took 3 days for the head unit and 4 days for the TPMS to turn up

Not sure if your still looking at it, but have had the digoptions unit in the troll for the last 3 1/2 years.
Igo8 mapping has been faultless (haven't bothered with offroad mapping as I have an overlay on my Garmin - should do it though as it isn't real flash)
Bluetooth for both phone calls and playing music is very clear
Reverse camera - should have got the infra red option ( basic is hopeless at night.

The only issue ( last two months) when the car is turned off and then back on radio station is not on a preset. All presets are there to choose though. Who knows?
I had to take a fraction off the fascia when fitting. No big deal.
Not sure if they have changed the screens in them, but they can be hard to see with the sun at certain angles.
Value for dollar I think they are pretty good value.
That should give you a reasonably unbiased opinion  ;D

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you as it has been crap at work.

Digoptions unit is all installed and working very well

Previous unit was also a similar unit and the comparisons are as follows

- sound quality of this latest generation is better than previous. Not that previous was bad at all, just this one is the next step again
- radio reception was better in old unit, but is still acceptable in the new one
- bluetooth interface is much more stable than the old one
- general interface is alot more user friendly than old one
- bluetooth streaming works very well
- i can set different levels of ilumination of the screen when headlights are on. Very handy as these things are often too bright at night
- i can override the headlight on dimming with one button, handy for driving during the day with the headlights on, especially using OZI

I know it is too late for you now Bird, however for anyone else considering it, I am more than happy with the Digoptions unit and would easilly recomend it for a lower cost alternative. Definately a better unit than the price suggests
Cheers, Craig

Tick the option boxes and it gets right up there.  :o

Over $1800 clams for the cream-da la creme must have just about everything ticked. That was with out parking sensors.
