So tell me about the Pioneer ground trace problem...

Well, different strokes for different folks I guess. I've always thought that Alpine was cheaply made which has always kept me away from them. I realize Kenwood makes a better head unit now but for a good 10-15 years there they made some real shitty stuff. Which is why most people won't run Kenwood in their car, no consumer confidence in the products.
I've used Pioneer since I got my driver's license in 1987. I've had nothing but good luck with them. From my KE-6262 and KEH-7272 to my most recent DEH-P920R and DEH-P860 I've had nothing but good luck. I've gone away a few times and tried other brands such as Alpine and Eclipse but I've always ended up going back to Pioneer.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you are correct 2005 Kenowoods are excellent

2004 and older are junk

Thanks. Yeah, thats the issue....if it actaully isnt a ground issue...then I'm out a deck for 3 weeks for nothing. I just wish I knew what the fix was as I could probably fix it myself. If its litterally a "trace".....thats easy to fix. I was a electronic tech for 3 years. I suppose I could take it apart and see if there's a trace burnt.
