I bought an avic Z1 off of ebay a couple weeks ago item number is 250107982949(put that in search and it will pull it up) Well basically upon receiving it you can tell that the lcd is broken on the inside The seller put sold as is untested but you can clearly see that it is broken Should i A file a claim with paypal or B send it off to Pioneer to try to get it repaired it was manufactured i believe april of 2006 also if i go with B about how much will it be to fix? Thanks for any feedback

(please dont flame me i know if it is to good to be true it probably is but i like taking chances)

ill give you $399 for it

CAD or USD? Although these days, they're almost the same!

I would guess between $200-500 to fix, but just a guess if thats the only thing wrong with it. I think you're screwed through paypal since the auction said "untested."

If it stated as is, untested you dont have a leg to stand on with paypal....

Paypal doesnt really care if you put as is untested.. One of my buddies sold a palm treo on ebay and put as is untested and the guy filed a claim and said that the screen was busted and there was a lot of physical damages to the unit and paypal gave him a refund. and they told if even though the unit says as is you still have to note the physical damages.

So what's your point?!

anyone had the screens replaced? When someone attempted to rip mine out of the car the pioneer authorized service center said they dont offer replacement screens for it and it would run about $1,000 to fix it with shipping it off and everything.

It's not g-lock. It's Glock

I think he means this:

Did they let you keep the old one? If so, what did you do with it?

I wouldn't take a Pioneer service center person's word for it that they can't replace the LCD. I'd need to see proof that Pioneer won't sell just the LCD, in the form of a p/n and plugging it into parts.pioneerelectronics.com.

Unfortunately, to get that proof requires dropping over $110 for the service manual. What a ridiculous price for a manual.

Hey Brokenlimits, by any chance, would you still have the GPS antenna from your old one? If so, would you sell it? My installer ended up ruining mine accidentally and I really need one bad... Thanks

Um...then your installer should be buying you a new one...

Unless he requested his installer do the 3-switch bypass which requires cutting the GPS antenna. I would assume that's at no risk to the installer, aside from the legal risks.

no ironically that is the only thing that they ripped was the GPS ant. I have it on my fridge now.

Yes I meant GLOCK like the gun pictured above. Yes, I did keep the unit but I gave it to a friend of mine that got me the new unit at cost so I could save some money.

I called Pioneer direct and asked if they had a replacement screen and after speaking to 3 people on 3 seperate occasions I cam eo the conclusion they do not or they are not available at this time.

Yep, installer was actually doing me a favor with installing it for free... Do any of you know where I can get one at a reasonable price?
