My installer would of picked up the tab if I had bought it through them. He wants $100 to install this defective cable because he claims he has to take out the whole dash again. My concern is if it is indeed defective or did our installers crimp a line or left the connection loose? I would like to watch the installers do the new installation but I doubt they would let me. What is a nightmare is if the new cable becomes defective at some point? I sure hope not. I really appreciate the sound this HU brings to the table and I have to have everything work correctly. Especially speakers!! Anyway, what are the chances of this happening? It has never happened to me before. If anyone has had this happen to them please let me know as I am going to try and Pioneer to reimburse me. Yes, I know. Good luck with that one.
i really can't say, the second time was the charm for me but it all depends on whether your installer is worth their salt. if they know what they're doign taking out the dash etc isn't that big a deal, they replaced mine in like 30 mins and offered to let me watch. all i'd suggest is if they let you watch make them plug in the new cord first and see if everything works, before they put the dash back in if possible. great price btw on the HU, and rear cam. didn't get that on mine. good luck
