These are all roughly the same price note some have TV DVB-T tuners and GPS built in. ~RM800-1500 = AUD$300-$500.

Which would you prefer. If I leave Malaysia with nothing then I will order the below online.

A few good looking options there.

Unfortunately my laptop is dead atm so could only check to links from my phone, but a few things to keep in mind:
1. Product support for these units
2. USB 2.0 vs 1.0
3. Compatibility of radio (and TV tuner and satnav if applicable) in Oz, frequencies + digital radio, etc.
4. Ease of fitting - there are plenty of units from China that are made to fit a Focus, not just fitting directly in the dash but also plugs straight into your existing plugs. Not sure which of these units are a direct plug and plug. A plug and play should only have 1 or 2 plugs, not a bunch of RCA plugs.

The Pioneer unit may not be as pretty or have the same features as the other brands but I'm pretty sure you can buy this same unit in Oz, so if you can get it cheaper in Malaysia I would go that option.
