Jer Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yes, It's from Amazon. I have the rebate form so all is good. I think what he means is you can buy items from other stores through Amazon. You go to Amazon.com and search for your item and when you add it to your Amazon cart and pay for it you're actually buying from a 3rd party... sometimes w/o knowing unless you pay very close attention. If you accidentally do this and the store you happen to buy from isn't a Pioneer authorized dealer your rebate will be denied even if you send everything for the rebate in properly. He's just trying to let you know that you need to make sure you buy from Amazon (or another authorized store) to get the rebate approved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I meant I bought on Amazon from the Amazon retailer. States on invoice, "Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpkdude Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yes, It's from Amazon. I have the rebate form so all is good. excellent news. at these prices, there's not much competition for the x920 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoodRevs Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 at these prices, there's not much competition for the x920 Oh yeah for sure. I'm looking at $630 for everything, that's the wire harness, ground loop isolators, dash trim kit and backup cam. That's pretty good considering a shop would probably charge upwards of $1,000 for a comparable setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's pretty good considering a shop would probably charge upwards of $1,000 for a comparable setup. If you're installing yourself, be super-careful to NOT plug any RCA connections to the unit while the power's on or the grounding wires haven't been connected. Pioneer has some internal fuses that fry easily if either of these things happen, and then you have a brick. So, disconnect battery, ground unit, make connections, and then hook the battery back up after all that's been done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I installed an X710bt in my other vehicle so I have an idea of how to go about installing this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpkdude Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 And, like clockwork, the daily email push from Amazon. This time it's a little less: 25%, and, from what I see, the z120 and x920 aren't listed in the "100" products. However, I degress. 89ANXAWU It's amazing what you can achieve on the phone with a CSR and a smile Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlOOsi Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wow you guys are quite lucky to pick it up at that price. I'm still looking around for a good price. If possible, can you keep us updated cpkdude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If possible, can you keep us updated cpkdude. Sonic Electronics has it for $660 last I checked. $660 - $100 MIR is only a little more than what many of us paid, plus they give you credit towards a wire harness.

charlOOsi Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wow, thank you GoodRev (lotta nice people on this forum). I forgot about Sonic's website. Guess I'll be getting it there. Just out of curiosity, what is the likelihood the Amazon deal will come back and work for the X920BT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tru-blu Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I just bought my X920BT from Sonic earlier this week. They are NOT recognized as an authorized ONLINE reseller, so the rebate will not be possible through them. They ARE an authorized reseller, so your warranty is still legit when purchasing from them. Go to pioneerelectronics.com to see their recognized list of authorized online resellers - it's pretty small. The Amazon deal was awesome - like almost everything I order online, I missed the boat on that one. TRU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoodRevs Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 My apologies, I didn't know there was a separate list for authorized online retailers. Still the Sonic Electronics deal is pretty good. Sonic has been pretty good price matching for me in the past. Perhaps if you give them a call they'll give you the MIR or at least a portion automatically off. Worth a shot IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tru-blu Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 As someone else posted, you do get the $30 credit for a dash kit and harness - provided they have/make one for your car. They will only credit $13 on the dash kit, but if they have one that's slightly more they'll just make you pay the difference. Their price on the iPod cable is pretty reasonable too. All in all, it wasn't horrible getting it from them but definitely would have been sweeter to get the rebate. If the rebate would have worked, I might have actually stepped up to the Z120. I did try to negotiate, but wasn't able to get any more out of them as they still had the best price on the unit than anyone else at the time. TRU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slammed01 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Is this sale still going on????? Im selling my F90 soon and would love a X920! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tru-blu Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Which sale? The Amazon deal is dead for now, but cpkdude always posts new discount codes if and when he gets them. Sonic still has the X920 for 659.00 TRU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
