saw on ebay, looking to put into production.

Thoughts?

 

5th time (or so) this guy has listed.. no more info on the product, and certainly no one with the product.. no offense to any small manufs out there.. but R&D is a cost of business that customers should _NOT_ be paying up front.. sorry, not how it works. 58 $25 deposits smells like a scam to me :/

Why would it cost $1500 to make a fibreglass face that you were planning on selling for $100?

 

Perhaps I read things wrong, but the guy is saying this only works if you re-locate your OEM stereo; doesn't eliminate anything. wow. I smell scam at worst, poor business planning at best.

 

ok so who's gonna be the first sucker to buy it? come on people

 

After several listings, he has 2 people with a deposit... doesn't look this would be too popular of an idea.
Relocating the radio... ANY "reputable" audio shop can do that? I have my doubts. Looks like a not too trivial task.
Not to mention that scam or no scam, this solution is ugly, IMO.

 

Actually, this IS the case with -any- replacement 'bezel' or 'face'.. the a/c controls are on the same PCB as the HU, so unless you don't need climate control (being in AZ, I sorta do..).. you're unfortunately stuck doing this.. this specific reason is why no one is offering a drop in DIN replacement...

This issue is the bane of my existence, I swear

 

its crap !!.. no hazard lights.. no temp button.. !! dont buy it.. I am making the real thing !!

 

thew, are you editing your site? i cannot open the interior section for the 8

 

if i chime in here for a second, I have seen this in person being that he is located here in Long Island. Looks really clean. As for anthony the seller he seemed to be a really legit guy.

 

To me it just sounds like a fiberglass headunit bracket assembly, I think hes figuring that we can get all the wiring done ourselves.
