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

[Tristar]

Makes no sense

It cost m0ney to run things on Ebay and there are now like 4 sellers offering that new panel all in the 360 370 range.

Something odd is going on, but its not fraud, that makes no sense, how do they gain anything, they pay ebay and paypal and your protected 100% by both?

Hope this pans out and its ok quality, made in China is not always a bad thing as half the stuff in this car from Ford is made in China.

Thanks, Chris

Well update on ebay screen. Looks to be a bust, the seller barely responds and than says he shipped and will provide tracking later. And before this tells me the post office returned thr package due to address from fri to monday. He ignores all questions about the product and really didnt respond until i brought up filing a dispute with ebay and paypal. I would say this product is vaporware and doesnt exist. If i have no tracking as of 9am tomorrow i will be going for a full refund and reporting the auction. I would try the other auctions up but if you look at the shipping location exactly the same including the amazon item. I would take a guess they all the same seller. Just wanted to give everyone an update on this.

I wouldnt care to wait if he would answer any questions about it or respond with more than a few words just too much money to tie uo for something that might not be real.

That screen is also on Amazon, I left a question on there but it's been left un-answered.

They could be trying to do a preorder system... They don't have them manufactured yet and are trying to build up a cash base with orders to do so. Problem is they don't understand that they can't sell and mark an item as shipped if the item doesn't exist. Now if they put in their listings that this is a preorder then people would not be expecting them to ship immediately.

I emailed the seller Thursday afternoon and asked if they were available, in stock and ready to ship.
Have not received a responce.

The one from amazon is listed as shipping from Hong Kong and the 3rd party seller has 100% feedback... Might be the best option if people want to try... The more and more I see I think this thing does actually exist. Just we are having issues with Chinese sellers and customer service not understanding enough english to respond.

Then don't advertise and sell your product to Americans...plain and simple. Proper customer service, including an average level understanding of the language, are base requirements for selling products for money.

I also did this, keep us posted if you get any type of response. I think these are all the same seller from Ebay look at all of them on ebay all of them are in some form or shape from the Tom's shop.

More and more I think Zachmd1 is correct and they are testing water with these or trying to run up funds for them. Why list them under so many different user names on ebay makes no sense. I will continue to pursue it, until they answer or I contact ebay and flag all of them and let ebay investigate the item. Also notice all of them being sold same exact information and pictures who knows :(

Well, I have a 8" unit coming for a Focus windows ce. DVD,GPS, Sync...etc. From the pictures, it should drop in, very similar in design. They sell them on eBay also. A friend of a friend has one, hasn't installed it yet, so dropping it to me Monday for a few days in exchange for me doing the install for him. Small price to pay (my time) to have one in hand and see. Once again, the rear Brembos are on hold. :frusty:

The nerd in me is so excited to see any of this work...

Nice! I was looking into this myself. My only concern is getting the steering wheel controls working. I don't know if the focus and mustang share the same control values.

Interesting...
Amazon sent me an email stating they are contacting the seller to confirm availability, but would/could take up to five business days.

Did you order? I just may have to chance it and see what happens.

Edit: I just emailed and asked if could sent me a copy on instructions.

No did not order still dealing with the first ebay order my next one will prolly be the one off of aliexpress. If i am reading there policy correct seller does not get money until you recieve and verify it is correct.

Let us know if you hear back from amazon.
