Pioneer DMH-WC6600NEX bricked on factory reset

[coalpha]

It had been kinda acting goofy last couple days. Not auto connecting to iPhone BT, and would not accept a firmware update. This unit still only will do an update wirelessly. Anyhow I thought I would do a factory reset and start over. Welp its now in a boot loop. I tried disconnecting the battery for an hour. No luck on that and this unit does not have any other ways to reset. Still under warranty, so I guess im sending it in. what a PITA. Any other ideas before I take the car into a AV place tomorrow and get this thing yanked out? Thanks!

While it's not a common solution, if you have access to a different power source (such as a portable power supply), you might try connecting the stereo to that to see if the boot loop persists. This can help rule out potential issues with the car's electrical system.
