No announcement yet, but is free for the time being. Will need to pay a minimum subq fee to update the map and use it. Can eaily get the updates from the website.

- Does the GPS a 2D type or 3D type. It's both.

- How is the DVD being played? via our stock HU or add-on device? Can briefly explains how the add-on device works? Obviously not via our stock HU since it can only play normal CD. You can play movies via SD card slot in.

It's CMOS. Not sure is black or white or color, will need to check and get back.

No, it's not analogue type. Around 50bucks or less.

I have already smack and chase after them but they still delay and definitely I'm going to ask for cheaper price.

- When is the stock coming in? It seems this have been discussing for very long but hear no news about it
Around October 2009. Yes, I know discuss until very long until I want to give up, but since I have seen and play with it before, I will say it's worth the wait and also for me not to give up.

- does the SD-slot support video format?
Yes, as long as you have got the correct format, it can support.

- what are the video format supported?
I only know it support mpeg so far. Will read on the manual to see what other format it will support once arrive.

- Is there a on/off switch for the monitor?
Yes.
