Stereo base 4.3" head unit upgrade: Ideas? Plans?***

[Iceman2733]

Those Chinese radios are all over Ebay still, someone has had to have bought one by now

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...X2015+m.TRS2&_nkw=2015+mustang+radio&_sacat=0

I ordered two from different eBay accounts same person different account. I would stay away u can see reviews people saying the same thing but than there are two reviews of people acting like they got it but looking at the poor spelling I doubt it was actually received.

EBay does not seem to care either I have contacted several times and opened cases against the sellers eBay does not care just says well he refunded the money what's the deal.......... Very sad it seems to be filled with scam artist and eBay doesn't care

Well, I pulled the trigger on this. Chatted with one of the sellers today. Aika Mustang center.
On Taobao you can find more info and pictures of the unit.

$975 shipped. Should ship Monday and take about 10 days.

Fingers crossed.

Well that actually is a pretty smart idea they have. They kept the OEM circuit board and just spaced it back about 1" in order to hold the screen. They then just made extensions (I am assuming) to the OEM buttons to match the new circuit board depth.

Edit: On second look maybe they didn't to that. I can't explain the volume knobs and ac controls.

I lost the pictures they sent me. We were using Taobao chat and it didn't save them.

It's a thin screen, CB fit behind it. Then using an Advent style interface module for GPS, camera, etc... Several harnesses.
The toggles are aluminum and backlit as the premiums.
I guess I'll find out.

One odd thing, he said was sycn 3 ready and asked if I wanted it...

I'll try to find them on the site, I saw then with one seller, but I actually talk to the one I ordered from. English wasn't too bad.

Look at these. Not the same pictures I got today, but you may see the idea.

Intersting to say the least but I am still not quite sure how it is suppose to work. I don't see any way for an unmodified CB to fit in that bezel with the screen set so far back like that. It either has to come with its own CB or will require modification of the OEM circuit board.

I wish I would have asked. The rear picture they sent showed a CB on the bezel.
I'll email him now. May not hear anything till Monday. Well, late Sunday our time.

Yea that is the biggest question I would have. I don't know how I would feel about an aftermarket CB. Especially since our cars are now push button which is incorporated on that CB.

Answer received.
No, use OEM circut assembly, with provision to fit new face panel. No modification to OEM board assembly needed. Only need to dismount from OEM face and move some items.

Very interesting.... I am really curious on how they managed to make that work.

Got email also saying they are shipping Monday DHL.

Sounds good! At least they are not shipping it via China Air Mail...
