When you say "Demo", you mean these were on the shelf for the public to mess around with? Any of the knobs / buttons worn? Pics would be nice.

TipsZ…you are creating flash backs! Outliers, population, standard deviations of the mean, Z-score etc. What I really miss are the keggers at Sigma Chi!!

Hey Wicked CAS…… I can hook you up on a NEW (non DEMO) w/full warranty, Pioneer Avic Z series for the same price as your used/demo/looks kinda almost sorta new last year’s model DEMO DNX9140…..also includes shipping. But I get to keep the rebate!

These units were in My own Tundra and my Business partners Tundra as stated before. I personaly own 3 cars so the use on mine is minimal, And when I do use it I drive 6 miles from my house. My business partner drives 8 miles to work. So Use is minimal. There are no scratches or buttons worn off.

Do I feel a bit of sarcasm here... You can buy an unopened 9140 online but you will not get the warranty. I am an autorized dealer. And now a paid forum sponsor / vendor.

I am not in the market to buy one, however I appreciate your heads up..


As a Side note DNX9140 in my opinion is a better unit then the pioneer, however Pioneer at the price it is selling at is a good deal. Personaly I like the sound quality of the kenwood much better. However that is my opinion. I am sure if you look hard enough you can always find a better deal. But there is more to it then just a better deal.. Warranty, Service, people you are dealing with, Forum sponsors to be considered as they are paying to be on this forum (guilt trip always works... Just kidding)

^^ The debate between Kenwood vs. Pioneer is good for both companies. They are, right now, the best double dins unit on the US market. Competing against each other will only make both better! When it’s time to select one over the other, I agree with you, it’s a function of personal opinion! On a different note…..I enjoy beautiful New Hampshire…. love the “state liquor” stores…..save tons of money around the holidays!

Got to give Pioneer some kudos…big recession going on and they give something back to the consumers!
