But if you have good luck with them that that is good. But when you use them for 5 years each year a different problem and a different unit... na I will stick with alpine and kenwood.

You’re only being a douche to Microsoft Windows and Tele Atlas. If you have issues with the Pioneer LCD screens w/LED backlighting…………….then maybe you should seek medical attention.
I have a new Kenwood in my Explorer and it’s a great product.
Alpine……………owned them in the past and never going back! Too many reasons to type…………

I'm with you, Matt. Never had good things to say about Pioneer, had a couple in the past and they suckd suckd suckd.

big- my pioneer on my 370Z is working fine.

i dont think it's junk at all. it's great for wat it is and i'll be buying another pioneer in the future.

maybe in your case, the amature installer broke it by handling/wiring it wrong?

I'm like the worst speller in the world and would be the last person to flame someone for poor spelling on a message board. But, the repeated use of brake instead of break did catch my eye as they are two different words. Sort of like when a coworker uses incontinence instead of inconsistant in work emails.
