survolvo Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 How so? I have bought stuff from there, and although it did take a while to get here, I was happy with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattmatt805 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 so no real info on these eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Haven't used that one, but I have used other brands and I would say to steer clear of them. If you want to use a modern device with your radio, just get a modern radio. It's much simpler and will save many headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floggingmike Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ipd offers a GROM brand unit that plugs into the headunit. Its $185 i believe, it includes bluetooth and usb compatibility IIRC Edit: heres a link, a bit more pricey than the OP but just throwing it out there http://www.ipdusa.com/products/9598/120897-grom-audio-usb-adapter-kit-with-bluetooth-850-70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 i've been told AliExpress is pretty sketchy.They are pretty good at covering you in-case you don't receive the item (or one that is not described). They act as an Escrow service in a sense, keeping the funds from the seller until you confirm the item arrives and in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM Evan Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 get the grom. I have it and love it. I wish I did the android version though. I just have aux/ipod connectors. get it from their website and bypass the ridiculous ipd markup http://www.gromaudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdimag Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've used alibaba but not aliexpress -- looks like aliexpress does all the checking-out?...seems useful and i wouldn't expect issues... I guess the fact that it's the consumer site explains the high price... I have the GROM unit -- accepts USB or Bluetooth, it's great... I'm done with the USB functionality, though -- it's all BT Pandora now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
