Thinking about pioneer

JB-370z · 04-03-2010, 05:28 PM

They are awsome do it! I have the unit you want and I love it. Some units if you press on the bezel it will have some play and make squeeky noises but this unit is very solid and well built. There are no buttons that can break off they are intigrated in nicely. You will be sorry I promise. Dreamer has played around with my pioneer unit I think. I have owned 5 differnt nav units in my days and this one has no real compition compared to my others I have had in the past. However I cant speak for the current units that are out on the market but I do know when I went to try out other units this was by far my fav. Buy one homie

Check the T/s parameters and frequency response before making uneducated statements. Pioneer is teh only company out of the ones you listed who design and engineer their own speakers still and dont use off the shelf chinese parts.
It honestly sounds like user error the problems you claim to have with pioneer units.

I agree…….Why would anyone take the advice from someone who drives an old Civic and has an old school single din Alpine car stereo? Pioneer sells great equipment and has received great reviews from Professionals!

Wow... really? He attacks a manufacturer so you attack him? I guess your portfolio is tied up in Pioneer stock......

^^ Actually I'm tied up in ford stock…..bought in when it was under $2

WICKED_GRIN · 04-03-2010, 06:31 PM

^^ and with the potential success with the new Mustang 5.0 and new Explorer….I wouldn’t be surprised if it hits $15 this fall!! Maybe you should jump in??

Same story with me and I'm holding until the new mustang comes out, I also bought Toyota when it was doing the recalls and its stock dipped, and their sales have been going up...I really didn't expect them to recover that fast.

And on the pioneer headset, now it's really sketchy because I am stuck between the kenwood or the pioneer. I've heard good things about both of them

Repeating myself from another thread, there is a 200 dollar rebate on the Pioneer

So that will work if I buy from Amazon (who is an authorized dealer)?
Damn...

You really can’t go wrong with Kenwood or Pioneer. Both are great double din head units. The operating system in the Pioneer can easily be hacked and some people prefer the Garmin over the Tom Tom….. the bottom line is the features you want. When you get the same person bashing on one company, it really does get old!

Ahh yeah, guess I might my plans up on this then.
I thought the 200 dollar rebate ended already, but that plus the Z110 under 900 is a damn good deal.

also, if you get the Pioneer, check out AVIC411.com for all the hack info and other tips!

I love pioneer. Sorry if anyone has had bad luck with them in the past but the 110bt is one of the best if not the best nav unit on the market regardless of them being pioneer. All I am aying is if they did not have a good unit before; it now is a thing of the past and thats 100% all the way. One of my fav mods I have done to date, everyday I am learning something new about the unit. This is supposed to be a software update for it soon, cant wait to see what it brings.
