now i'm fckucing mad
Just spent the last few hours wireing up my AVC-R ready for AndyF to remap the car at the end of the month. I come to switch the thing on and have a mess about with it to find the up botton does not work.
I bought it of ebay but the guy selling it has 100% feedback so i thought it was safe......how wrong i was. None of this was stated in the sale.
I have reported the matter to paypal so we will see what happens. I now need to get another or i cannot go ahead with the remap. Has anyone got one for sale or know were i can buy a new one at a good price?

Here is the link so you can avoid buying from the tw@t

Sorry to hear about that mate, i was in the same situation as you about a month ago when i bought some electrical equipment from an ebay seller with 100% feedback, found out the cd player i bought had nothing inside...it was just the case with no internals. Naturally i contacted ebay and paypal and eventually after about 3weeks got a refund. Lots of decent sellers out there but just as many ***** too.
Hope it all works out all the best

Some people eh
I've done a bit of checking up on his user name on ebay, he lives near Dudley and the add says item can be collected from Dudley. Did a search on a well known Scooby website using his ebay user name and a guy has the same user name and lives in Dudley.
Not going to mention the site as it may be just a coincidence they have the same user name and live in dudley.

Cheers for link,
Once the wireing is done it takes 2 mins to unplug the head unit. I have mailed AF to see if he has one spare if not its looking like a full kit will have to be bought and just use the head unit.

When all this kicked off yesurday i pasted his ebay user name in to the SN search and what do i get? another racy jace who lives in/around Dudley and uses powerstation which is were the unit was removed.
It may be a coincidence that there are 2 racy jace's who come from Dudley and have a scoob. If i am wrong racy jace then i'm sorry for naming you. But to honest i think they are one and the same.
The guy is refusing to refund me and says i must have damaged it when fitting the thing. If you wire it up wrong it either works or it does not work..simple. If i had wired it up wrong(which i did not) how would that stop one button from working?
I now have to spend another 300 quid on another as i need it ready for Fridays mapping session with Andy.
