Well, When I called them 3 days ago about my N1, they said there was something else wrong with it, not just the flex cable, then that dude was like. "so you wanna pay now?" I told him nahhhhhh not yet. Then today Pioneer called me and told me what else was wrong with it. She said the FM tuner was also broken. So then I asked if they could not replace the FM tuner and he said yeah but there wouldnt be a 90 day warranty on the flex cable.

 

Deal or no Deal?

 

 

I never listened to the radio anyways so the i think saving 200 dollars is worth it.

 

but how much do FM tuners go for?

are they fixing the flex cable for free? they recalled them i believe and should. check this guy out on ebay. im not affiliated with him nor have i shipped to him before but his prices look very good, he has good feedback and every time ive contacted him hes very quick with responses.

200 bucks on FM seems crazy too me. i got my flex cable fixed about a year ago and the repair tech told me that the new cable isnt stiff like the old one and should last for a very long time. so the 90 day warranty threat may not be worth it. just my opinion.

Yeah, I spoke to the technician, He said he did fix the flex cable. Thank you for the information on ebay. I don't think im going to have the FM AM tuner Repaired

Did you just send in the main unit or the hide-away unit as well? I'm asking because the FM Tuner is in the hide-away unit - if you only sent in the main unit for the flex ribbon repair then this does not sound right.
