Yes people do have luck and say they are reliable but from what I have seen in the past 2 years I am not impressed with where they are going. Just my .02 but I would stay away from them.




Thanks bigaudiofanat. Are any of these problems associated with the newer Avic series? Do you remember which models? I have two friends who have the Avic-X910 and the Avic-F700. They have no problems or issues. You mentioned problems with the motorized face, this is one of the reasons why I’m looking for a non-motorized face! I figured the less moving parts you have the better. I once bought a highly recommended home CD player and it broke down one month beyond the warranty period! I never want anything like that to ever happen again if you know what I mean!!

Are there any other Forum members besides bigaudiofanat that have these types of problems with Pioneer? If so, which models?
