I use AlieExpress a lot as well but limit is £30. And I use Paypal enrolled sellers only. Not handing out credit card numbers...email address is bad enough. Amazes me sometimes how fast they get stuff shipped in on free shipping...10 to 14 days as opposed to a month.

HMRC (Customs) can be a big problem and will impound stuff, calling for the original Seller invoice. Iv'e seen it happen. I'm pig sick of Parcel Force handling imports but we are stuck with it.

My experience with AliExpress is that the Asian sellers are very worried about bad feedback/complaints. Likely the seller gets the chop...fast. To a lot of them I guess the Ali selling site is really crucial.

Well I cant help the cost.... everywhere has this at least at 300+
But Ebay from China will be 400+ and that's too much...and with no contact from seller... at least UK has buying at distance cool off period.

Really need to just get the unit. Eager to finally have music in car again without relentless crashing

I suspect I might have to do this swap out at some time? Think I have a Connecta 3/67plate Facelift. Well I think its Connecta 3..just nowhere in the cars docs or reliably elsewhere specifys that. No As Built info.

I'd likely go for the AliExpress punt after reading the listings and contacting the seller first. The sellers on some of those Ali listings ask that you contact them first for good reason.

There are risks both sides of the deal...so good faith must reign. You might sense that if you contact the seller.

I suspect they are selling out of the very big building in Schenzen.......Huaqiangbe District

An interesting vid for you... shows a bit of that building/area...and other compelling stuff?

I brought my PX5 unit from AliExpress, didn't have to pay any import tax, guess I got lucky.

Ps. Anyone know the correct canbus setting I should be using for a J11b? I have got reverse cam working but front camera doesn't work

Got Ebay and PayPal waiting for seller to respond now. Annoying but should end in refund then can go Ali Express way. Gonna make sure seller is good at responding before I purchase. All the other cables and tools I have left on purchase so just the unit to get.

Yes ace86, I suspect the cost was marked well down on the package? Parcel Force will be watching as they desire their handling fee circa £12+

What manufacturer, not seller? If you don't know, check what MCU you have in settings.

Thanks Chosen, I have those setting and RCA cable is correctly set up. What is the key mode and rudder setup in your canbus setting
