'gift' with a lowered value. The units start from about $180 then shipping to UK is $80. It all adds up to £150ish! Apart from getting a band expander, is there anything I should be concerned about? I think that they only go up to about 88.9 FM. . (i think you can but not to sure 
) 
They skip at higher intervals, meaning you miss stations ending with an even number.- the HU was half the price for the same UK model, which is fine if you listen to CDs or an IPOD etc.(around £10) means u can search up to the 107FM mark, and if it's a JDM model, it does increment in the same way our radios do, but does not have RDS so won't display the radio name (big deal). They both had the big style LCD screen and multiple formats etc.. So it's worth getting a better brand than one of Japanese lesser known brands. A normal £50 head unit from halfords was a million times better in my case, don't know if this is a common problem with the older double din units? 
Very helpful and courteous. BUT, you do need a band expander like the previous posts say, but the band expander needs to be good quality. Now i dont know if you can get "good quality" band expanders. All I know is that the band expander isnt great and some stations are not as finely received as I had before I put the double din in (mine is a UK car with uk stereo b4 I put the jap one in). Some stations are weak, crackly and the smaller ones you just dont get properly! 
. I was asked to pay £64!!!!! What are you to do?? You cant send it back so you end up paying it! 
I would ask the seller to state the value as peanuts i.e £50 saying return of repaired item or something, as the parcel company here charged me on the value stated on the box! Mine stood out by an inch and looked just plonked in! So I had to fiddle around with brackets from Halfords, a little bend here, jiggory pokery there just to get the unit to fit flush! 
HTH

At least I can now see what one looks like in a 2's interior!
Just allow for some time for **fitting** then swearing as you fabricate/bend and pulvarise the halfords brackets to get the sterao to sit flush with the fascia! I still have spaces around mine but I will one day fill these up from behind the dash with solf black felt to make it look better! There is a similar model with a remote control, but dont know which one this is!
