Ordered a tesla style radio for my 2019 f150 paid in full going on a month back. Still have not received the stereo or an idea of when it might ship. I was being told there was an issue with the harness they needed to get materials for, then was told it malfunctioned when they tested it and they had to fix it, then was told it would be shipping sooner and then that same day was told it would be a while but they can send me a open box. I either want the item i ordered and paid for shipped out by this coming friday or a refund in full back to my card.i have tried to be patient and understanding but now im getting ******.Business Response

On 1/22/2025, I purchased a radio from the business. Upon receiving the equipment, I found the radio to be faulty (did not power up). After speaking with customer service and going through several ****** Meet sessions with their tech support team, they still did not admit to any fault but suggested to send another harness which did not work either. I wanted a refund, but they informed me of a restocking fee due to having the radio for over 30 days. ?? For a radio that did not work in the first place?? And, with several vague ****** Forms emails going back and forth, no wonder I went past 30 days. Consequently, I decided to ask for an exchange. I have not received viable responses that would tell me when to expect an exchange. This has been going go since the beginning of April 2025 to the present date. I would either want an exchange in an expedient method or my money refunded in full. Their company has pushed me into a non-penetrated corner.Business Response

Ordered a 13.1 inch tesla style screen android head unit for our now show ready 19 tundra platinum crewmax 4x4 worth a few mods.... installed unit (correctly) and upon testing it started to produce smoke (yes actual smoke) so I removed it. . Quickly.... and attempted to return... no deal, they wanted me to put it back in and video it. I refused at that point for obvious reasons (like an actual fire) and had to make multiple phone calls to get this even where we could return it... so after returning it (it had been recieved and inspected) still have not refunded our hard earned money.Business Response

I purchased a car radio digital display on March 4 and sent the requested photos and information about my vehicle. The company website says shipping is within 1-2 weeks, yet 4 weeks later, nothing. I have tried to call the company and only get access to a call center. The call center says they forward my information on, yet I have not been contacted by the company itself, just more 3rd party **************** always state 1-2 more weeks needed no matter when I ask them. This company seems like a scam.Business Response

The unit needs to be customized according to the customer's vehicle information and come with compatible harnesses, so we need time to process it. We already shipped the order. Thank you.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because that is the same fluff answer the call center in the *********** told me over a span of 3 weeks. It was over 5 weeks from order placement to order shipment and it isnt even the same unit ordered. It took 3 weeks of my engagement to find a exact match that was already in the ** and not being assembled in ******

I have been unable to complete my order processing with this company for an order which should have been completed days ago. The company seems to be playing around with nonsensical processing excuses to avoid fulfilling the order. I the order is for an Android based 13" portrait oriented smart radio replacement which is said to be compatible with 2007 - 2014 ***** Tahoe vehicle's ********* console. However, for some odd reason, they kept requesting a picture of my personal vehicle's entire dashboard, and refused attempts to facilitate this unnecessary request with stock picture sourced from the ** site and carfax. (They literally said "Your picture seems to be from the internet, and we need your specific vehicle.") I have been playing along to see if this would actually result in an order being shipped however, when I sent a standard 2k picture from a digital SLR camera, with all metadata stripped, they said that they "needed a clearer picture." (Clearer than a 2k picture from a $2K pro-sumer camera???) There seems to be something shady going on with this company. All real processing of order email traffic and trouble tickets come in at 3am, as in Chinese timezone working hours, the requests for pictures make no real sense, unless they are tricking people into allowing them to farm metadata from the customer's pictures. (I.E. when I stripped metadata from the picture that was retaken, they all of a sudden said they "couldn't see it clearly enough.") When you call their customer service number, you get the distinct impression that this is an outsourced call center with no real ability to do anything except cancel your order.Business Response

The unit needs to be customized according to the customer's vehicle information and come with compatible harnesses, so we need customer's vehicle information to prepare the order. The order was placed on April 3, we can ship the order in about 1-2 days, do you want to continue the order?Initial Complaint

I placed this order for nearly ***** dollars on March 14th. I entered the corrrect information, my truck is a 2017 f350 with a sink 3 radio. they stopped making sinc 2 in 2016. I placed the order checked sync 3, two days later i asked for a tracking number. I Their response was, they needed a photo of the dash to ensure they send the correct one. I sent them a photo. then they changed their request to a photo of the radio turned on so they could see which version it was. It is one BS thing after another with this company. i want them investigated for fraud. They take your money which is a significant amount. Then they likely purchase this product somewhere else much cheaper but must purchase a certain amount to get the right price. So they sit on your money while they give you the run around waiting on other purchasers, so they can buy the bulk. I am not in the business of lending money, and IF indeed this company is doing something like this, and it sems that an investigation is warranted, then they should be shut down and dealt with by the justice system. Today, after 10 days, and after they told me the item was shipped which it wasn't because the tracking says it has yet to be picked up by **** I have been sending them emails, they take forever to respond, and i was now told that once the shipping is given it takes 3 to 5 days to show up. next they will tell me it is not 3 to 5 days, but 3 to 5 business days. It is one lye after another, and the BBB better not put down some BS that they are staidfied with thee response of this company. I am submitting a complaint and i expect it to be investigated, so nobody else is wasting their time and lending money to this company. and that is lent only if i receive a refund which i am going to demands right now.Business Response

The order was shipped on March 21. A third-party shipping process handled the package, and there might be several days delay before the tracking information was updated, but the package was on the way. We explained it to the customer, but the customer kept asking and wanted a refund, so we requested to change the package to our office, and would send the refund after we received the package. We already sent the refund.Initial Complaint
