My tuner went out a couple of years ago with a big "Pfffzzzttt!!!", has no signal whatsoever on FM or AM, the tuner just sits on the lowest frequency number with it's spinning icon, with no audio, no static, nothing.

I assume something blew on the Tuner IF Unit.

There is a service shop on eBay that says they will fix any problem for $130.  Plus cost of shipping the unit, that's going to run me close to $150.

Now I don't mind tearing my radio apart to replace the board myself.  Not only will it be cheaper, but will also save me two weeks of not having a radio in the car. 

In the z110bt service manual the part number listed for the "Tuner IF Unit" is CWN4824.   Pioneer's web site sells that part fo $65.  I have read that the z110 thru z130 all share the same physical components, so I would assume this part is good for my radio.

Can anyone confirm the CWN4824 part number is correct for the z130BT, and for the US market?

Do you know if I can get it for a better price from anywhere other than Pioneer?

Thanks.  John

Looks like there is a change in the Z130, or maybe just normal engineering evolution. The CWN4824 board seems to be for Z110 & Z120 only. Here is Pioneer's parts list for the Z130 http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/model.asp?modelNum=AVIC-Z130BT

There is a different service manual for the Z130 - maybe you'd want to get the correct one. http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=CRT4697 or here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-AVIC-Z130BT-Service-Manual-Repair-Guide-/161176260032

Maybe the new part is CWN5675? However it is twice as expensive. Makes that ebay repair shop look better and better.
