yep its a heep of junk, who ever had the car before me put all sorts of modifications like parking sensers, hids, head unit  and they are all crap so am just in the process of trying to return everything to oen or decent aftermarket stuff :)

but cheers for identifying it for me  :)

Yeah, it's a Waywell WD6050 (see the following site for information)

Cheap Chinese RNS fakes as previous poster said.

If you want to maintain the look then you should be able to pick up an RNS510 for around £500 or below if your lucky, or RCD510 which doesnt have the NAV for £300-350 ish the 2nd generation stereos arent great (as would have been originally fitted) but you can pick them up for £100 and the best one would be the MP3 compatible version (has MP3 written above CD drive)
