Crusher

My last check Amazon.com had the unit for $939.95 and free shipping. It is sold by Discounts Jungle. Not sure if they are an authorized dealer. After checking Pioneers on line authorized dealers they all sell the unit for $1599.

A friend who works in an electronics store just received information that Pioneer was getting out of the car entertainment business by the end of 2009. He wasn't sure by the info if it was only the premier edition units. Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks for the responses. Glad I posted here and got the correct info on this unit..........

This is the review I spoke about.... - no support for cd changers but many feel that because of usb drives and ipods, changers are legacy...whatever! - touch screen has a sweet spot that is small and off-center so it's easy to make the wrong selection and have to waste time on a redo... - no IR functionality which means wireless remotes cannot be used and this unit really needs one... - xm works great BUT xm traffic is not supported, only msn direct... - no exterior mute button.... - installing the hd radio module disables regular am/fm functionality... - route guidance has no

I was ready to buy this unit and then read a horrible review by ONE person. For those that have this unit, what are the CONS that you have found. One of the complaints was the POI lists the locations alphabetically and not the closest first. Is this accurate?
