this seems like a bad idea to spend over $50 on this thing.. never mind $150.. what are people thinking and still 2 hours to go .. could go buy this new for $350 from 6th ave ... so much for my test unit

$150 for the broken unit (right now)

$ 50 for the power harness

$ 50 for the connecter harness

$200 for Pioneer repair.

$450 Total.

Fail.

I am actually a little pissed idots are bidding on this thing. I was going to buy it , rig it for 12v power from the house and mount it on a test bench not caring about sound.

I was then going to fool around with loading different software and hacks and not caring if i killed it

Ya but you don't even know if the thing will power up. Better off finding a refurb for cheap, at least then you know it'll power up OK

With the way prices are plummeting, you'll be able to pick up a brand new one for less than half of that auction in the very near future.
