Question about 2DIN radios

Hey folks.

I am looking to replace the 2DIN in my 2005 Grand Am first, then the Firebird. I am sure most of you heard of AliExpress. I have ordered some minor stuff from that sight with no issues. It looking around I found they sell 2DIN radios. Here is one I am looking at:

There is a bunch more with a variety of prices/options as well. Being most stuff is now made in China anyway I am figuring I would get one and try it in my Grand Am. If its nice, will get one for the bird. Just would like thoughts, etc. thanks!

Re: Question about 2DIN radios

I bought a touch screen 2 din android internet carputer version with them and installed in my Iroc... I love it.. Use my GPS every drive and it auto updates with internet.. I paid quite a bit more tho.. also had to cut into the vents a bit to slide it in as well as modify the inner bracket mount by flipping it over and trimming the hump off it, then wrapping it with some pipe insulation for the unit to sit on... it just clicks in just right, no screws required,, the face plate on the other hand needs to be modified as well.. easy job tho,, just takes some time and brain energy... Really brings the old '86 into the year 2015

Well you probably have a 50/50 chance of receiving a product without issues. That place is a den of thieves.
Good luck and please do your due diligence before you buy.
