Hi everyone.
Just wanted to give a warning against Germaniks (Michael Riva / BMWPlanetDude). Last September, I bought an NBT Evo unit, screen and cables. I opted for NBT Evo as it seemed much more capable than NBT unit. I was unaware of the fact that it was a ID4 unit originally with only 2GB RAM upgraded to run ID5/ID6. After months of chasing, Mick eventually delivered my unit to me a few days before Christmas. During testing before the install, I immediately noticed a high-pitched buzzing from the screen, and sent a message to Mick with a video. It also crashes constantly, and is completely unfit for purpose. I sent it back, and Mick upgraded the firmware saying it would resolve the crashing - it didn't. He gave me a new voltage regulator, and this didn't resolve the screen buzzing, which he said he couldn't hear. For something he said I would have back within few days, it took around a month to return, during which time I really considered contacting the Police.
I've finally managed to get in contact with Mick again, and he is refusing to honour warranty on a faulty product. I've asked for it to be swapped to an NBT unit, or an NBT Evo 4GB as previously agreed on the phone, but he has declined.
Please do not purchase anything from him. I know he had a good reputation previously, but this has certainly not been the case in recent months. I don't want anyone losing out on the amount of money I have. read more
