Q. What
Brand is it?
A. Nearly ALL items made in China
are generically made units and are
purchased at the same factories as
some of the better known marketing
companies. Brands, as we know them,
are NOT made by these marketing
companies. Goods are simply
re-badged in the name of the
marketing company. The lack of
branding (advertising, marketing
fees etc) leads to savings passed on
directly to customers. The items I
bring in may come with a known or
unknown brand, often in plain white
boxes. The EXACT same units are
often found in retail stores under
various "in-store" names
Q) Do you have an
Installation policy
A. Prior to installing any
powered item it is imperative that
your installer test each system /
item regardless of if they are new,
in the original carton or are loose.
It is simply wasteful to have the
item installed and expecting it to
work because it is new. What
invariably happens is if the unit is
faulty, or if the wireless system
does not work as intended, the
installer gets paid for "doing his
job" and the buyer pays for the
installation and then the
re-installation all because the
installer does not test the item
first
Q.
Can I view the manufacturers
website?
A. There is no further
information on any of the
manufacturers website other than
what has been translated to English
on this website. Manufacturers will
not respond to any question from end
users and have requested that all
enquiries only come via Brash
Imports
Q. Can I
plug my PS2/Xbox/GPS into it?
A. Getting excited with the
possibility of playing a game
console in a vehicle many people
forget a monitor is just that. It
will display whatever you plug into
it, but the audio needs to come
through an amplifier or the radio
(by using an FM Modulator/Sender)
Q. Can I
plug my Camera/GPS/DVD into it ?
A. All monitors have simple RCA
inputs or 4 Pin priority hardware
connections and so if your unit can
be connected to RCA plugs then the
monitor will display what is being
played.
Q. Can I plug your
tuner into my Pioneer/Kenwood/Sony
head unit
A. If your unit has RCA inputs then
there is no reason as to why they
will be be compatible.
Q. I have bought a
unit from Hong Kong / China but I
cannot get the TV tuner to work with
your antenna/ booster?
A. Do not expect that the cheap
unit you have bought will work well
(if at all) in your car. Getting a
TV to work well can be tricky and
will depend on all components
needing to work well. The best
antenna with the best placement, the
types of antenna, as well as
proximity to broadcast towers will
effect your ability to get a
picture. Antennas rarely fail,
cheap TV tuners do.
Q. Which antenna is better ?
A. All the antennas have
advantages and disadvantages. For
discreetness the Film on Glass is
better, but it may not work as well
if your windows have metalized
window tint, so the single/dual plug
diversity antenna may be better
placed on the front windscreen.
Q. How many antennas
will I need and where do I place
them?
A. The best advice I can give is
that it will depend on where you
broadcast towers are and the
placement in a vehicle. We
recommend as many antennas as your
unit will accept to give the best
chance of reception available.
Placement of the antennas is usually
inside the vehicle on the front and
rear windscreens. |
Q. The Antenna booster does
not work ?
A. The antenna booster will only
boost existing signals and can make
goods signals great, but I cannot
give you better reception. If you
have weak or poor signals then you
must remember that this unit will
boost all TV signals. If you are
receiving junk, then the junk signal
is boosted.
If you receive no signal at all,
then there is nothing to boost. If
you have a poor picture to start
with, the antenna booster may in
fact seem to make your picture
worse. Poor reception is nearly
always the fault of poor TV tuners.
Q.
Do you install?
A. No. All installation should be
done by a qualified installer.

available in your area.
Q.
Are leads and wiring included?
A. All units are complete with
remotes all wiring commonly needed
to make them work
Q. Do you have a
showroom/shop where goods are
displayed/demonstrated?
A. No, we are a
wholesaler/distributor of goods and
do not have the same facilities as a
retailer
Q.
Can I pick up the item?
A. Pick up is usually available M-
F between 9 - 3 and between 4 - 6,
but you need to call in advance on
(03) 9523 8899
Q. Guarantee?
A. All goods are covered by Brash
Imports for 7 days after the
receipt/pick up of the item. During
this time goods can be sent back and
postage cost will be refunded should
there be anything wrong with a unit
as long as installation guidelines
as outlined are followed.
Q Should the item
arrived damaged?
A. Upon payment or invoicing of
goods legal ownership is transferred
to the buyer. Brash Imports will
post your goods on your behalf or
you can elect to use your own
courier or they can be collected by
arrangement. Should the item
arrived in a damaged condition then
you must in the first instance
contact the courier used (local
courier / Australia Post etc).
Brash Imports can make a claim on
your behalf for your goods but this
can only be done once you have
reported the damage.
Q. Battery is dead!
A Batteries and other consumables
are not covered by any warranty.
Q. What are your
installation guidelines ?
A. Quite simply all units must be
installed by registered and
qualified installers listed in
either the Yellow Pages or local
paper / business card (proof will
requested). For those wishing to
self install, the units will still
carry 3 months manufacturers
warranty. Goods will NOT be
replaced for burnt out wiring etc.
They will, at the purchasers cost,
be sent to the manufacturer for
repair.
Q. What happens after
7 days?
A. All new goods have a 3 months
manufacturers' warranty and need to
be returned to manufacturer to claim
warranty and get goods repaired or
replaced, (more common is that goods
are simply replaced). No
manufacturer has facilities for
repairing items outside of China.
For your convenience, and to provide
a one stop shop, goods can be
returned to Brash Imports office in
China and we will send the items to
the manufacturers on your behalf at
the purchasers' cost.
The fees for sending good to the
manufacturer and to return it to you
are costed as follows:
Simply return the items via
Australia Post to the address in
China below. When sending the item
take note of the Nett weight of the
carton.
The cost of getting the item back
from China is $18AUD per KG + $15
handling/postage fee. This amount
can be paid via PayPal or bank
deposit. Goods can be also
couriered directly back at a cost of
$20 per KG + $50AUD courier fee.
Turnaround time is typically 4 - 5
weeks

local post office with packaging so
that an insurance claim can be made.
