Hello all,

New mini owner here. Just wondering if any of you had experience with the Gobluee stereos? (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-...889764515.html)
They seem to be a good replacement for people without the mini connect package, however the lack of information on the web makes it look a bit sketchy. Hoping that somebody else could shine the light on this product, or maybe recommend similar products

Thanks in advance

 

Highly risky...
Anything sold by that direct to consumer Chinese version of e-bay...
You as the buyer have very little rights..if they ship you a box of bolts by mistake...you must ship it back at your $$...and pay return shipping..$$ again...if they agree with you. Some stories of folks that do on on the internet, but many more of folks who never get anything.
So if you get something...and it works..be happy.
Imo if it was a good item, a middleman would be selling it in your local market or to a vendor.

 

I can see why one would be tempted in buying this... That's actually a crazy deal... I would buy a set up like that in a heart beat... but its very sketchy.. I just don't know.. How did you come across this?

 

I was doing searches on replacing oem stereo and mini connect retrofitting

 

Hmmm... I think I will investigate this a bit more.. It would be totally awesome if this was a legit deal.. leave it to china..they can make anything.. Seriously though..if this is legit..they will sell a crap ton of these ha ha.. Im thinking this thing is so new though that no one even has one yet..

 

Cool I will also do some research and see what I can find. I will post my findings here.

 

Known site with real problems. Avoid like the plague. I had a student buy an iPhone 5S off this site after I warned them.

They got a iFun 5S running a generation old version of Android.

The screen failed two days after using it.

There was no recourse from the seller or the "Apple" company.

 

I have seen this phone before also.. friend of mine bought one.. He bought it knowing it wasn't real though..funny thing is it "looks" just like an iphone ..lol

 

Alibaba, Ali Express, and similar sites are known scams. They do not take PayPal or other secure payment methods, relying instead on an "escrow" payment format. I am an avid cyclist and have read many instances on cycling forums where people have paid for items and then never received them. When the items are actually received (rarely) they are far inferior to the products they are made to look like. I follow the old adage that if it seems too good to be true, it is.
