Hi.
I would not rely on the Chinese sat nav units. I had an experience of installation of Chinese head unit on my old Focus MK2. In few words: terrible menus and usability was very low. Do not know for how long time it worked after the installation because few months later I've sold the car .

And look at the 3rd picture from the bottom of the page. ORIGINAL Sat Nav unit is shown on this picture, not the unit which they are offering on this web page. In cars without original CIC/Navi, climate control unit is installed under the radio, but on the picture you can seen that climate control is above the radio unit. It means that picture shows original Sat Nav unit.

I do not know people who would install Chinese c-r-a-p in addition to the original Sat Nav.

Personal opinion - forget about non-original equipment.
