Well I sent out my AVIC-N2 to get the Flex cable upgraded! Took exactly one week to get it back! I live in Michigan and was told to send to Ohio.

 

I was reading all kinds of bad shit on this forum about getting their unit back and Pioneer had un-did their by-pass. I was worried that I was gonna get a service charge or something worse!

 

Well just so you guys know... I did my own bypass with a small bead of solder. It lasted till the screen went out and needed the flex cable upgraded!

 

Well I got my N2 back and the same silver sticker was there but they "UN-did my bypass and left the two solder points there so I could re do it!

 

Here are some pics:

 

I tried to get as best of pictures as I could but my centro doesn't really take good close up pics!

 

I didn't have to pay a service charge! And I also got a new faceplate... not sure why but this new one is fine!

 

I think I maybe lucked out but maybe its cause my unit is still under warranty... not sure!

 

I redid the bypass before I installed the N2 back in today and everything is fine!

 

My address book is still intact!! lol

 

I'm prolly the last one to send their unit in but I hope this helps everyone else that hasn't!
