I would wait till you hear from amazon, my wife purchased something not shipped thru them but a 3rd party and they were not helpful at all when she had issues with the seller taking a week and half to ship and pretty much just told her they would contact seller and said same thing could take 5 days. In the end the product came in took over 3 weeks and the seller was in the US also.

Ilastore replied. Said they don't have in stock..and that's all they said.

Got replies from both on Aliexpress, both claim they have in stock and from time of payment will ship within two days.
One went further... Said its a new item, made by Zestech. It's a full faceplate. The display screen is new 8" and has a GPS module added. The factory circuit board has to be modified...I assume that means cut.
I've already taken the risk and ordered. They also offered me 10 units at $235 each.
We shall see what happens... Not holding my breath.

I will hope for the best for ya. I also got responses from both of them this morning. Just watch yourself your CC will be your only way to get your money back most likely if this ends up being bust. I have read aliexpress return policy is just a joke so be careful.

That is interesting they are saying it has to be modified, that will put me out it if he has to be cut. I am not cutting it up just in case I want to let this car go it goes original.

Interesting note of the modification as well... Why go through the trouble of fitting the screen in front of the circuit board if you are just going to modify it anyways.

I wonder if they misunderstood you and by modify they mean just moving the circuit board from the OEM bezel to the new one? :shrug:

If this turns out to be a viable option, I bet we could find 10 people to purchase together for the bulk discount. Of course, we need to verify that this exists and works as it should.

 

[dfrost]

Yeah, I'm expecting to have to call CC and get a refund in 30 days.
I'm not too surprised about modifying the CB. Did a lot of reading yesterday, family out of town and rained all day, so I kinda expected that.
On a side note... Amazon sent me an email a few minutes ago and said they "spoke" with Kkmoon and Ilsastore and said the item WAS in stock...lol. this after both told me it wasn't.
Also, the Ford 8" screen is listed as discontinued.
Focus one will be here around noon. Looking forward to seeing how it done.

Count me as one, but this isn't looking super promising to start off.

I am curious as to what focus one you ordered? There are a few options out there.

QUESTION

Does anyone have access to the wiring diagram of the factory base radio? If so could anyone post up the pinout of the 6/8 pin connector to the factory 4.3" LCD?

Yea I just noticed the previous poster said they told them not in stock but they replied to me and said in stock. I would contact Amazon and tell them they are telling you it is out of stock but they claiming it is instock on there product page.

 

[zackmd1]

Like I have been saying... This screen is out there and real. In what capacity and availability though remains to be seen... I think most of the issues so far have been miscommunications with people that barely speak English on the sellers end.

Hey aggieStang,

Did your monitor come with a sync module attached to the back? Also, did your headunit come from a mustang or another vehicle?
