Juice925 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 where do people usually buy theirs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I didnt want to advertise a site thats why I havent mentioned who I buy my units from. I buy about a dozen navi's a month, mixed between the d2, n3, and z1. Heck today I installed 2, and have 2 more for tomorrow. But you can find them on the net for 1500.. maybe even less.. if not Ill tell you who I go to as they are reliable, but again I didnt want to advertise them just yet.

howarmat Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 [quote name="Juice925"]where do people usually buy theirs?[/quote] Bought everything from Crutchfield. Maybe a little more expensive than some places but I had a 15% off coupon for everything. And with the free dash kit which fits perfectly for my car and the wiring harness, the deal was even better. You get free support if you have any install questions and it is Pioneer authorized. Is only 1899 over there right now. I am sure you find many places that sell for quite a bit less using the search engines above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vijaja Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 try mytaxfree.com. They have some good prices. I was looking this past weekend and they had a deal of $1449 + free shipping, and it included 2 years of warranty by some 3rd party electronics tech people (had a lemon policy as well!). If you want to buy from an authorized dealer, 6ave.com is authorized. They had a deal a few weeks back for the Z1 @ $1600-ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vette11 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I purchased from Abes of Maine and received the unit already and had it installed yesterday. Unit works great and there was nothing wrong with the product. Paid $1,561.00. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wireless King Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Has anyone tried thecamerapros.com to purchase their z1? They have it for $1399.99 online and if you camm to order it, they would take off an extra $25.00 making it only $1374.99. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wireless King Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 OK, I just found out they do not take the $25.00 off because it excludes receivers??? Thats weird. Also, the free shipping doesn't apply because it excludes receivers also. So total is $1449.99 including shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wireless King Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Great Find! Has anyone actually taken advantage and tried out the "repair tech" warranty these sites are talking about? I called Pioneer today and asked them about it, and they said they have nothing to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wireless King Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Bump. Im interested in buying a unit with repair tech. Has anyone actually purchased it and had to go through using the repair tech? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko483 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 A word of warning about [color=red]thecamerapros.com[/color] when they advertise such a low price, beware because it will be ONLY the head unit itself in a white box. no install cables no harnesses etc no manual or nothing strickly the head unit itself. When i placed an order with them the guy asked me if i needed the rest of the normal installation stuff required for a new installation and i said yeah of course and then he changed the price to 1500 or so ... i was not intrested anymore. I dont like websites that play the bait and switch game. i ordered mine from [url=http://WWW.CENTRALDIGITAL.COM]WWW.CENTRALDIGITAL.COM[/url] was a fair price lowest i culd find at the time but well worth it when it says on black and white on the product listing: NO WHITE BOX. just make sure you know what your getting before you place your order !

Mossman Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Even for a price of 1399 for a Z1 at the camerapros, it might be worth it. As long as it is new and all. Installation is pretty much self explanatory for most stereo and if needed you can always download the manual off the of pioneer website. Does the Z1 require a DVD to install the firmware and all the images in the hard drive or is it already pre-installed in the harddrive? I guess you might need the DVD if required, but then again, there are a lot of sites where you can get the images of the DVD's. The only thing I can think about that you will need is the GPS antenna and the wiring harness and you might be able to get both of those off of eBay for less than $50. Either way, it's still quite inexpensive for a brand new item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 actually, I get my z1's for 1499 all day long everyday so going with the camerapro place doesnt make much sense.... 1399 + 50 for other needed things comes to 1449 and NO warranty. Where as 1499 with warranty and EVERYTHING needed is well worth it, especially when you dont have to deal with a shady company to mix and match a complete system that should already be complete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
