yeah. Crutchfield is amazing. I think they have the best customer service of any mail order place I've ever used. I just wish they had internet level pricing. :)

I agree Crutchfield is a great retailer with experience and knowledge. I have bought from them over the years and always had great customer service. In fact, they are the first one who pointed me towards Pioneer and Kenwood double din head units because quote “both are of great quality and are in the Crutchfield Signature Series”.

Has anyone done an audio install in a Roadster? I’m concerned about getting an easy path to the trunk area! I haven’t seen any 2010 370Z Roadster Service Manuals listed in this forum.

I want to do an install in a roadster just have not. I have not had the chance to get in one yet but I think if you pull the seat forward and remove the panels you will find a way.

What I’m looking for is access to the 370Z Roadster Service Manual. I know I can research the ZR after delivery (remove, research & connect), but I’m the type of enthusiast who likes to research the service manual in advance. Maybe I’m a little old fashioned, but I enjoy installing everything mentally before I remove the first nut!

yah, they're okay. their prices are kinda high though. i search there, buy elsewhere. :tup:

btw, your local bestbuy is pretty good too. they'll price match and they usually have the harnesses and remote adapters in the back if you get one of the techgeeks or watever they're called to help.

that's wat i did last time.

I agree they are a bit expensive so I use woofersetc.com

WICKED_GRIN 01-28-2010 07:49 PM

I switched to Amazon.com and recommend checking their prices before you buy from anyone else.

5 to 6 weeks left before my factory ordered 370ZR arrives! I’m leaning towards buying the new Pioneer double din head unit. So many good reviews and actual owner’s firsthand experiences convinced me it’s a good head unit. Has anyone installed the new Avic Z or X series?

as i stated before, pioneer makes a solid HU, you should be in good hands. having said that, i don't have any experience with the new products but i can only imagine the interface is even more refined

Thanks HKY….I did my research and found Pioneer really is a solid innovated head unit. Independent professional reviewers and installers have endorsed Pioneer’s features, quality and reliability. It appears the only negative comments about Pioneer’s reliability are isolated. How could one person have so many problems? It’s statistically impossible and proves to be a personal issue with the name brand! Has anyone else taken Statistics 101??

HKYStormFront 03-10-2010 07:32 AM

yea exactly, there will always be people that bitch for the sake of bitching about something. that's life. enjoy the new HU and be sure to post pics once it's installed and up and running!

Yep! Taking Stats right now .. for those who do not know .. it is not a Math .. it is more of a logic than anything else. Just as you know Wicked, it really depends upon the sample set and how that sample is taken. I do not believe that isolated incidents reflect upon the Population as a whole, they are just the outliers.

I believe this is more than just bitching about something! Apparently, someone has a personal vendetta against Pioneer! When asked to list specific problems, answers are vague and childish. Certainly not the sharpest boy in the trailer park! Anyway…looking forward to getting my ZR and most likely will be installing a Pioneer HU unless Kenwood shows up to the party with something new! It’s really between Kenwood & Pioneer, they are the best head units on the market right now!

In case anyone is interested I have 2 DEMO DNX9140 available at $999.95 Shipped. Full 2 year warranty. These units were in my Tundra and my business partners Tundra.
