So, I don't know if this post belongs here. But I want to shoot out a buyer beware on a seller on AliExpress named the <i>YANAV Car Radio Store.</i> I went in to buy a car stereo during a sale and now they won't honor the price.

This is for this unit: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...27424c4dVtl6im I went ahead and decided to go for the 128gb version. All in all it was under 850.00 out the door. Its been a week and the seller is trying to get me to pay more money or cancel.

***Granted, I know this is me just ranting, but its also a ' do not buy' from this seller message. There are others out there that honor what they say they will do. Not this guy.

hi. can you confirm something? someone posted their findings
Read
Initial impressions:
Pros:
1. Good picture
2. Good sound.
3. Can control AC from front panel relatively easy.
4. Has autosleep function, so that it turns on immediately. Previous aftermarket units didn't have it, and it would take a while to boot.
5. Reverse camera works good, and has picture of radar around the car.
6. Shows when the door is open.

Cons:
1. NO valet function. I looked in every menu and setting, and could not find it. I will continue to look though. Will definitely report back if it is not there.
2. The Sync function in climate control, only works when you push the sync button. In the OEM unit, if you set it to sync, whatever you change changes for the other areas of the car(left, right, front, rear.)
3. Because it uses a two channel MOST for the fiber connection to the amplifier, you can only fade from left to right, not from front to rear. Not a big deal for me, because I never fade anyway.
4. The IAM2.1 Level 3 navi/dvd box has dual fakra connections for the radio antenna. The Android unit only comes with a regular antenna cable. Even though I never listen to the radio, I will go ahead and order an adapter off of Amazon.
6. Hazard lights button does not work. I will try the fix suggested by a member in another thread, about removing the board on that side, and remounting.

hi again dear friend, I want to infor something to you
25/06 01:49

1)Because of covid-19 , the price of all materials and chip go up and also shipping fee going up crazily.
2)The option you chose doesn't have carplay .so i applied with my manager to offer you a built in carplay .In addition, We aslo help you pay the customs tax.
3)I need your help to ship the package sooner because it needs you add extra 100 dollars to get "Android10 6G 128G" and carplay functions.
So what's your idea?
Looking forward to your reply

covid 19 has been around for over a year
it said carplay was built-in.

carplay need extra fee actually dear friend
the deivce sill not include the carplay from factory
if you want to cancel the order , you need to spend many days to get the money back, and you still need to find from other sellers , it also spend your time. so I don't think it the best solution, we can send an OBDII (elm 327) to you as a gift</b>

I think you guys are liars. you don't want to honor the sales price and want to charge for it.
I'm going to expect you to ship this with the car play and if it's not there when it arrives, I'll work with AliExpress direct.
I talked to another seller and they said this unit has the carplay built in.

<b>
yes, it is built in carplay

Then why are you telling me it does not have built-in CarPlay. It was only one option to choose.

Yesterday 15:20
just send me the stereo please.

Dear friend, I'm so sorry , the material , chip and shipping fee goes up, we can't sell in original price. sorry
how about we ship a rear and elm 327 to you as a gift?</b>

lol trying to send you a $13 OBDII scanner as a gift.

I really want to try one of these out, but it really seems like a case of just wait to buy the newer car and don't fiddle with mine for now.

Sorry to hear of the trouble.
