I haven't got mine connected at all, and my unit stulk don't work. 

I thought that might be the issue but perhaps not since you said that comes out. 

I got mine off aliexpress what's your one?

How would I do this, if this is the case, I was asked by the seller if I had the Canbus adapter connected which I did have and I still had no power to it

is there any instructions with how to connect the canbus adaptor? the one i have installed in my car wont work if the cables are connected to the can bus module in the wrong order

Mine is the ownice  k6 high off Ali I'm actually going to sell it as I have a new car now but I had two grey connectors boxes going into the CD player unit and one black into the small screen, when the CD unit is removed the wiring harness of the android unit will have one white connector with a bunch of wires and a grey connector on the other side that plugs into to one of the plugs that came out the CD unit and you will have another grey connector with white and red av plugs the gray side plugs in to the other grey connector and the red and white plug into the red and white av on the main harness coming from the unit, also plug the larger black connectors together (all should be plug and play with CD unit removed) the unit should now have power, then plug little the back plug into the trim piece and test before fitting, also there are 3 little connectors on the individual wires in the harness they are for steering control mine is grey to blue,

Mine is a connects2 one multiple wires plug on to it but they're all different shapes so can't be mixed up but if not connected in correct order nothing works. Not saying that's what wrong with yours but computers are finicky things sometimes. I could send you instructions for mine but not sure if it would be any help if yours is from a different manufacture.

Yeah checked mine, they are all diff sizes, so it's not that. 

I tested with a volt meter and when it's connected I'm getting under 3 volts, when it's all connected to the tablet. So I believe the tablet is faulty 

Yes different sizes so plugs cannot be connected to the wrong socket but they must be plugged in the correct order I.e cable 3 must not be connected before cable 2 and that cable 2must not be connected before cable 1

Oh really? I plugged them all in before I put main power in, how would I know which is which, or just a matter of trying? 

I'm still convinced it's faulty the seller got back to me I've tried a few things they said but still no luck, woulda thought they woulda said about the cables 

If they haven't provided instructions on connection sequence it must not matter on your unit on mine the connection sequence involved 7 steps with power connected somewhere in the middle. If the seller can't provide the info to get it working then ask for a refund.

By chance do you know how many vaults are meant to be coming out?, I had the power plugged in to the tablet and the other part plugged into the car, when I used a meter on the yellow and red lead like he asked its showing just under 3 volts. 

When I have the cable plugged in and not connected to the tablet I'm getting 12volts

 

Edit:

If it helps this is my one https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4001174479546.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.54a14c4djJhm9D

Not an expert but i think 3 volts is too low my unit runs at 14.4 volts 10-16 allowable  Looking at the lengths you have gone to to get this to work id be asking for a refund.

If you do get this working could you post a short review of the unit? I'm interested in fitting something similar to a 2011 fiesta but the price of these units just look too good to be true especially if you can get navigation apps like tomtom go working on them.

yeah I will defo post up how I got it working if i do, Ive now told him I believe its faulty just waiting on a response.

 

Also has anyone heard of this website? https://www.seicane.com/oem-android-for-ford-fiesta-radio-with-bluetooth-hd-touchscreen-gps-navigation-system-support-carplay-dab-h6681 I was originally gonna get from here but I couldn't find many reviews from this site atall, so opted for a more known website

Looks a little iffy

there are no pics of it actually in a fiesta just looks like it’s been photo shopped in

also further down the ad the rear connections are totally different to those shown at the top of the ad

I thought I'd try disconnect all the cables and just have the mains cable connected in to see if that works, incase one of thrm other cables were faulty and making it not work, but sadly still not working, the guy responded and asked me for a video on how I'm testing with the meter, which I've now sent

They have asked me to cut some wires, which im not too convinced about, im gonna take it to a car shop tomorrow and ask them if they got any ideas, and then I can also say to the seller Ive spoken to a car shop expert and they have concluded that its faulty, and that i want my money back and sending the unit back

Update I've got this working but currently I can't get steering wheel functions to work. 

I ran an additional live wire from fuse box and connected it to the acc cable to power it up
