I have just bought a PhatNoise system off ebay and was assured it was a UK spec system. When it arrived this morning the package was covered in US Postal Service stickers and US markings. On opening the package there was a US to UK voltage adapter confirming that it was a US system. I have been told by my mate GeordieLife that he has some problems with music skipping on his system because it is a US PhatBox and also Sem has confirmed that his sometimes jumps from MP3 to radio. Both Sem and GeordieLife are using MFD Version D Sat Nav like myself, and I was wondering if any other members are having problems with their US PhatNoise and sat nav working together?
I sent the seller an e-mail and below is their response. I would appreciate if anyone can confirm if they are telling the truth or trying to bluff me to keep the system?
Thanks in advance.

As for Phatnoise being a UK and US unit that is an ABSOLOUTLE bogus story who ever is telling you that is an IDIOT. Call up Phatnoise which is a 100% American company; to begin with ,they DO NOT manufacture phatnoise in UK or anywhere else FOR UK. Reason being they designed this product to work with all Audi's and VW in the world it does NOT have radio that it would conflict with the radio frequency of US and UK it does NOT have a DVD player that it would be a question of PAL or NTSC. its an AUDIO MP3 FILES which are standard all over the world. THE ONLY thing that is different is the 7.5 V and 1 amp, adapter that I do did not have in stock to put it, So I had to put that one in. ( and I still don't )
As for the fact that mp3 files are skipping ? how is that possible ? The files are IN the hard disk of the system and they can not skip. If you want more information specifically on this issue you can go to www.phatnoise.com ask them a question or browse through their forum and you will find a lot of questions and answers in regards to this. People from all over the world buy these units and all of them discuss their problems and issues their, may be you will find your answer there. But Nevertheless, I am MORE than happy to refund exchange it for you as one of my customers is dying to have it for the price I sold you for.
