Dear Senior Member Shipo
I have barely enough time in my life to see my kids and help keep the house clean. Again I did not spam anything, and why do you not answer the question on how am I to get advice from people here without letting them know/showing what it is I am asking about? Instead all i get is an empty accusation from you which has effectively killed any hope of anybody wanting to participate in this thread and get to a solution for an aftermarket stereo. (as a senior member one would think that you would be more help than hindrance, wrong)
I deleted the link, i apologized and I continue to engage in a solution. You on the other hand have been unhelpful, accusatory and unfriendly, why do you bother participating here when that is all you have to offer?

Please understand, when a new user such as yourself shows up and lays down multiple and virtually identical posts containing links and pictures to Chinese (or Korean, or Vietnamese...) products, then 999 times out of a 1,000 they are spammers. The approach you took in your initial posts is exactly how literally hundreds of spammers I've run across over the last couple of years peddle their crap. So, if it quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and leaves behind duck like droppings, it's probably a duck. You get the point.

As for my post from earlier today, it was not directed at you, it was directed at the genuine spammer (ingtoncreti) peddling ringtones in the post immediately above mine.

As for the actual item you're looking for information on; don't hold your breath for a response. Why? Until such a product is available here in the States through a reputable dealer (Crutchfield for instance) most folks (myself included) wouldn't trust it to be used as an artificial reef for the family aquarium.

Thanks for the advice, i figured as much when i saw that the oddball company selling only seems to accept Western union and money gram no Credit cards that you can reverse the charges on, way to suspicious for me. I was hoping that the product itself was legit and someone here might know about it. As far as i can tell it looks like it was/is marketed outside the US. Guess i just gotta wait

So I'm assuming you have the base model? I have a Grand Touring and the stereo that's on with the GT is awesome. You might want to find that model on Amazon if they have it and see if there are some reviews about it. That's what I normally do if I don't know the product too well.

...and my '12 Mazda 5 with 1170 miles on it smells like a new car. I joined this Mazda forum to get info on my new car and find out if anyone here has experience with replacing the crap Stereo that comes standard. So far the only info I can find is on '06-'10 1st gen which does not help me much. I am not trying to sell or spam anything, just trying to get some info/experience.
The only reason I included the website is so that people here can tell me if the website seems legit?

I would also like to know if anyone has any experiences of this unit. I have seen other (more legit) places you can get this (and one or 2 other chinese made units made by other manufacturers like this).

Anyone tried one?
