Merryway is listing it for $820.00US on Aliexpress, and I believe it is all the same people at the source of it.
Jenny is the one responding to me when I write to them from their site on Aliexpress.
They requested that I show them the back of my unit, to see if it is a "one plug" or "something else"
I am currently half way into a 2500 miles trip, so I can't dismantle mine. Anybody has a picture of an early unit?

If its a 2015 car then you will most likely have the 'Bosch Unit' as merryway are describing it. You definitely have it if you have the meridian 770w system. If you have a SD card in your glovebox for navigation, then you have the single connector 'Harmon Karden' system as merryway are describing it. If you want a picture, look at thread on retrofitting the rear parking camera :-)
I don't have the 770W system, neither do I have the SD card. So I assume I have the "Bosch Unit"
Which thread does Jenny answer those questions?

I don't mind being the guinea pig - I've reached out to Jenny and will do a full video review/write-up. I have a 2015 R w/ the 770w system, so it definitely could use something a bit more modern. I may be willing to import this via my own company to be a US based re-seller, we will see what happens!

Waiting to get the conversation started via WhatsApp but this would be terribly priced @ $1800. I am expecting it to come in at $800-$1000. Doing some internet research it looks like there are a lot of different re-sellers out using the same images under different company names (typical when it comes to AliExpress products) - in my experience the only way to be sure is to try!

Hey guys,
Just finished chatting with Jenny. The F-Type unit comes in at $1150 and it would be the Merryway unit. We are working out a deal where I'll purchase the first unit with the requirement that I will do the install guide/review write-up and video review, and then organize the group buy. Hopefully we can get the group buy pricing closer to $800.
Should know more tomorrow and I'll keep you guys updated.

Apparently, Paul, we were both sending them emails and they were mixed up a bit
I was waiting on a quote from Jenny or Robin, but I will gladly join the group buy if it comes close to the $800 mark.
So, to clarify once again: there are only 2 versions possible? Bosch or Harman. Is there a sure way to know which one you have, other than taking it apart?

Capacitive vs resistive should be easy enough to tell. A capacitive screen would work more like a phone touch screen, where only fingers would really be able to activate it. Resistive should allow you to wear gloves and still activate the buttons, use a stylus, etc
