Welcome.

I am going to go out on a limb and say no one is likely to have that info. I could be wrong.

Another forum I would suggest, where some "may" be able to offer ideas on replacement belts, though I make no guarantees you will get any help, but its free to sign up.

Hi, thanks for the information and I will try the site you have suggested.

The issue is that head units have pretty much never been repaired ever. They've pretty much always been viewed as disposable and even more so today where quality and features to price ratio just keeps getting better and better.

That in mind I bet nobody can name a shop that repairs these things or a company that sells parts. Your ONLY option to source parts would likely be to find another of the same or similar make/model to cannibalize for those parts, and again, for the past 30+ years I've been involved in car audio, I get a few years out of a head unit, it fails, I throw it in the trash and buy a new one with better bells and whistles, not like amplifiers where you can get parts from Mouser or send it off to one of a dozen or more reputable repair shops and get a solid 20+ years of service out of one, or modern subwoofers where you can replace moving parts in a 20 year old woofer and it'll hang with anything coming off the assembly lines today.

Good luck, would also suggest DIYaudio as about the only public forum where you might find people DIY that sort of electronics repair.
 
Yeah I’ll say getting parts sold specifically for an old unit like that, will be very unlikely, however, if someone knows a site to buy belts, you can probably find some that will work. Half the battle with rubber belts is sourcing the correct sizes.

Next head unit you toss out @hispls I’ll pay shipping if it was a decent model 😅 . I guess it depends on the problem. I’ve had ribbon cables stop the displays / touch panels from functioning, like on a Pioneer double din, would power on and freeze up, but was just a ribbon cable issue, fixed that and it was good to go. I get what you’re saying though, much less easily replaceable parts in a head unit, and or not worth repairing much of the time, especially in modern HU's, and if proprietary chips fry, they are junk.

That said, he can probably find some belts that will work in that old Pioneer, that one may be easier to work on than the newer stuff.
 
Good luck finding the belts. Don't buy a used one for the belts - age will have fried those belts as well. If and when you replace the belts make sure you use the cassette feature regularly or the belts will dry out and get stiff and crack. If you have a mircometer, you should be able to take measurements and just order the belts by size.
 
I have no idea how to share the link with my phone but i found tgese on ebay ....
