**UPDATE**
Well i basically filled out a report of the issue online to their Customer Support department on saturday since they were closed on the weekends. I figured they'd call me and run some Troubleshooting questions by me. Well this morning i got the following e-mail.
"Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.
You have a defective unit and unless the dealer will exchange it you will
need to ship the unit to Pioneer for warranty repairs.

Looks like there isn't much troubleshooting needed with what i described it's obvious to them it's a known issue and has to be replaced or sent back for repairs... I'm going to see if i can get my dealer to send me a advance replacement since it's been less than 30 days of purchase. Sucks... hopefully they can send me a unit with a later build date hopefully it's not a bad batch. This one was built back in February 2016.
