L33T's System Ordered

What’s your opinion on your Pioneer DEX P99? I’m thinking of upgrading my three year old Avic-X Series to the new Avic- Z Series. I have noticed “selective negative opinions” with Pioneer Products in this forum from a non 370Z owner who claims to be an installer……

I would have to say its the best piece I've ever owned, both from a Sound Quality standpoint, and a versatility standpoint.
Besides the fact that its got a full blown processor built in, I particularly enjoy its old-school appearance. I can honestly say that I am in no way a pioneer fanatic, in fact, I used to steer clear of them for many years. That changed when the premier line came about.
My last piece was the Clarion DXZ945mp (which was no slouch by any means, either) The car I had that in went to SLAP Nationals in 2005, and got me a second place finish. That now belongs to my daughter.
The pioneer DEX P99rs makes the clarion look like a toy.
I would have paid double for it, and still been happy. Its that good.
Honestly, if you search any name brand for problems, you will find many many pages on the web related to that specific brand, and that specific problem. I dont think there is one single brand that can say they are without issue of some form or another, but I dont see the need to start hysteria over any of them because of ones personal tastes.

Thanks Ron……..I was thinking this particular non-370Z owner, who consistently bashes Pioneer Products, has an alternative motive! He always posts a reference to another “Pioneer Bashing Forum”, which by coincidence he started! I, like many other 370Z owners, never had any issues with Pioneer. Maybe he has a mental connection with Alpine!! Lol

Care to see my website, LLC, or all the install pictures from customers. The fact that you despise me for no apparent reason other than to simply make yourself look like a simple troll is beyond me.

Na, just the fact that as a actual installer I have dealt with them a lot more than any single customer or owner has. No obsession just a like for alpine.

You can not tell me that pico fuse is not sensitive.

Hey Wicked,

It is not just him that has that opinion. I have heard from other people and reputable audio businesses that have an incentive to push Pioneer but don't because of the technical issues associated with that brand. I used to be an Alpine fanboy, but I just had a Kenwood DNX9990HD installed in my car. I can honestly say that I am impressed with the updates to this unit as oppossed to the DNX9960 I have installed in another vehicle. Only thing I can advise you is to go to the different websites, download each owner's manual, and read what each radio has to offer. If you are as anal as me, you will do that. (That is what I did and I feel that it paid off) My brother has an Pioneer AVIC 110 and he was really impressed with the features of the 9990HD.
Just my
