My suggestion to you is that you print a copy of the online price at Al-Eds.com of whatever F unit or accessories you wish to purchase with the discount price already reflected and take it to that Al-Eds store. This is accomplished at the check out page. Tell the local salesperson that Al-Eds.com is offering 18% discount to us here at the AVIC411 forum. Unfortunately, all Socal stores are independently owned and may not participate in this discount offered to us here. You can call Travis at (888) 900-8800 and ask if he can direct you to the closest store that can hook you up with this discoun

Finally almost here! Thanks Al-Eds for constantly updating our fellow AVIC411 members with regards to the saga of these Pioneer F units. And also for offering extending the discount to us here once again. To my fellow forum members who hung in there after all this time, it was a painfully long wait but I wish that this delay would not dampen your enthusiasm to these units. Best regards to all.

Yeah so sad . Actually they (Ontario store) offered me one of the first units but it was "buggy" so they gave me the option of keeping it and waiting for the so called "patch" or "update fix", or waiting for the second delivery of totally revamped units. So I opted for the second delivery. Also after I wrote this post, (speaking of the devil), I received a call from Jason of the Al-Eds Ontario California store informing me that one of the Pioneer rep came by to their store and gave them the status or updates on the units. He said that the Pioneer AVIC F units have 14 independent contr

Just wanted to ask anyone that ordered from AL-EDs (online or in store) if any of you have gotten your F series unit yet? If not, have you received any updates from them on status of your orders? I myself have not received it since the store at Ontario California had stated that they have not received any shipment yet from Pioneer.

I myself still have not received the F90BT that I preordered from Al-Eds at Ontario, California. I have inquired numerous times and have gotten numerous different answers. Bottomline is they still have not received their units from Pioneer. Hopefully this bugs gets fixed before Pioneer sends them out.

This should not be the case and was not part of the groupbuy discount as given to us by Al-Eds. There was no such condition for any install requirement for a discount to be given. Unfortunately, some of this dealers (this is my first time hearing this incident) are probably unaware and are just taking advantage of some of our members. I hope if the Al-Eds rep is reading this thread to please send out an email or memo to all Socal Dealers and tell them that there is no such condition for an install to be done in order for an AVIC411 member to avail of this discount. I also wou

I have a smart car and waiting to get my F90bt installed. I bought the dash kit from this place www.4smartcar.com and it is very reasonable in price $24.99. They also sell the harness that you need to hook up any in dash stereo nav that you want. Hope this helps with your search. I am also glad that you are now becoming more realistic about the economics of driving an suv. I too used to drive a v8 Sequoia, now it is sitting in my garage collecting dust after being burned numerous times with $100 fill up each time at the gas station.

Yes, that was their intent. In fact this discount code was made effective for the rest of this month for everything in their store. They want you to spend your money on whatever item you want in their store as a goodwill to this forum. So shop with confidence knowing that they are not going to get back at you and tell you that there was a mistake with your purchase.

I'm glad you are all taking advantage of this great deal. Remember that Al-Eds does and can do the install for you too. Tell your families and friends also, Im sure they would appreciate it and Al-Eds does too with the increase business activity. Spend your stimulus money here and save. Diegosilang

Just would like to take this opportunity to thank Al-Eds, particularly Elie Rothstein, the owner of Al-Eds of West Hollywood for making this excellent deal possible for the members of AVIC411. I was amazed that instead of just giving a discount for the AVICF90BT, they went all the way and made all their products in their store eligible with this special discount code. My gratitude to you all at AL-Eds for working this out for us. This is also an excellent way to advertise Al-Eds to consumers that are most likely to buy products from your store. I also wanted to say that I went to the Al-Ed

Same for me. I live in Pasadena and I'd love to just go and pick up the device. Yes, you could call him (Elie) in his West LA store 310.854.5454, or email him at elie@al-eds.com and tell him that you are part of the AVIC411 group buy and he will facilitate whatever product you want to buy from him. Even ship them to you if you want to, or as you prefer to come to his store instead. Hope this helps. All the best, Diegosilang

Oh I feel your pain drumasia, I too live in Socal and unable to proceed in the checkout process. There are two ways for us to purchase whatever we want; 1. We change our shipping address to some relative or friend outside of Socal and have them shipped to us, or 2. Call one of your local stores and tell them that you live in the Socal Area and can't purchase online so you need to buy from them locally. Tell them that you have a discount code that you need to use to avail of the sale price. That way they are able to sell it to you at a discount. That is what I am doing and I have alrea

By the way the discount code is AVIC411 and is good thru this week only. I appreciate your concern there Julius and I am sure you are not alone. What we are doing here is taking a risk that a typical early adopter is taking and gambling that there would be no glitches with this first production units. I leave it all to you the consumer and enthusiast to take advantage of this discount or wait it out until the kinks are all ironed out. Some of you may also take advantage of the discount code to purchase the AVICD3 or the Z2 or the Z3 if you don't want to be an early adopter. Th

Hey guys, thank you for your patience and also for posting your interests in this thread. It has been a long day and the process of working a deal with Al & Eds was finally done. I just got off the phone with Elie Rothstein, the owner of Al-Eds that is located at West Hollywood, California. Now (drumrolls) this is the deal that I have worked out for us AVIC411 forum members and its enthusiasts. Thanks to our numbers and interest in purchasing with them, Al & Eds as a company has agreed to give us a discount of 18% of not only the AVIC-90BT but also on EVERYTHING that is on their w

Thanks HiFiSi for putting this list together, and it does look impressive. It is about 7:20 am here (pacific time) and I will give the Al and Eds owner a call around noon today to see about his pricing for this Group Buy. I do appreciate the response to this thread and I also understand that all of us here are after a great deal and not just a measly discount. Hey Im all for that. With this kind of interest and number how can anyone refuse us. Anyway just hold on to your horses and I will return to you all later today to tell you what comes out from this Group buy proposal with the said perso
