lol.. Wonder where that's coming from? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
But -- yeah, from all I've read, and my own experience with some "love taps" in nearby area of the Pioneer headunit -- Pioneer's don't have the best reliability factor.. or durability factor. It's not uncommon for people to have them "die" from bumps, potholes, or other forms of "G force" I suppose. In my case it was the palm of my hand hitting the panel next to the headunit,..

-- Also the Pioneers definitely have issues with the PICO,.. if you hotswap with them you have a better chance than not of jacking up the pre-amp and bam you've got noise now.. (Which can be rectified with RCA grounding many times)..
Other than that -- When they are working.. They are great. The AVH-P4100DVD had the best "touch response/feel" of any screen I've ever messed with. Had a great sound.. the Voltage from the pre-outs was dead on 4v,.. great units as long as they don't get knocked around or someone hotswaps unknowingly.
