If its a display model you get what you see....

did they tell you one would be included? that's why display models are generally cheaper. just go to pioneer's website and you have a manual

Hate to hear that. Scratched displays seem to be going around //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The complete 'tards at a local carwash scratched my XXV-01D. I was pissed to say the least.

Good luck getting it sorted out.

yeah it was originally 189, but he charged me 155 i beleive. but then im pretty sure he just fvcked me and charged me for installation, which on the receipt shows 35$, so it all equals out..

More than likely the price of the install was taken out of the price of the headunit. Its the way things are done in the computer for the "free install package".

TeeBone, If I knew I'd sure tell you.

It was one of those places where they vacuum and whatnot then a person drives your car however short of a distance to the wash tunnel, your car is put on a long belt to go through the wash and then more actual people drive it out of the wash tunnel and hand dry it. one of these times when someone was in my car they managed to f*ck up the display on my HU //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

I assume it was from when they tossed my keys into the cubbyhole under the radio prior to it going through the wash tunnel and they had incredibly bad aim so managed to hit the stereo first.

It got replaced so I don't care. The guy gave me vouchers for free washes at a future date....I asked him did he seriously think I'd ever patronize his business again??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Word-Of-Mouth advertising being some of the most effective PR in the world I am telling everyone I can locally what these idiots did. Negative advertising can do much more to repay their kindness regarding my stereo then anything else I can think of.

1 hour ish. 98 civic ex. id love to know what took him so long, cuz this other lady was done in 10 mins

 

[ajm 10+ year member]

An hour + install for HU (once we [or installers should i say] get to the car) is common at my store :\. Just imagine the grouchy people I deal with day after day.

 

[Eldorado 5,000+ posts]

Thats still a long time.

civics are cake

 

[goose5741 10+ year member]

Took best buy 90 min to do mine...IDK much about HU's but he had to cut all the wires and crimp them and stuff....doesn't seem that hard if you had good diagrams but it took him forever.

 

[azbass 5,000+ posts]

im just glad there is no BB or CC in my town. so i dont have to fix screw up all day long.

 

[goose5741 10+ year member]

I was gullible back then and thought they knew what they were doing...would never let them install something again, especially after the guy told me all i need to power my 6.5s and 6x9s is a 100 watt amp. My frickin HU puts that out (almost)...i just laughed and walked away. The funny part is i might be getting a job their lol.

Get a refund..

take it out yourself..

Display model are u crazy?

 

[bibby 5,000+ posts]

Maybe a little bit different, but every single one of our displays at radioshack come with the box, manual, etc. We just open it, get the main product out, and set the boxes in the back, an whenever someone buys the display, we go get it. simple. I dont see why you didnt get a box and stuff, unless they are really that dumb to just throw it away, or just didnt want to give you one, or forgot.
