Dvd Player Extended Warranty

Hey,

Alright i have a Pioneer AVH-7650, bought it 3 years ago and decided it would be wise to get a 5 year warranty on it as it was $3000 new. Now it has been 3 years and i have started having issues with it, so called my warranty company they gave me a job number and i took it in 2 1/2 months later i finally get it back saying that it is all fixed and good as new, bolt it back into the car and goes well, this is where the problems start, i now have more issues with it than i did when it went in - will randomly turn down the sound every now and again, have to push the face in further to make the volume and song changing dials work, equilizer button is tempramental and doesn't work all the time and screen opens and closes really slowly. Now the reason i sent it in the first time is that it stopped playing dvds and cd and the screen wouldn't fold in properly, got the player back and it worked for about 1 month and now has stopped playing dvd's and cd's again, i have called the warranty company and they say i have to take it back to the same repairer again to see if it was faulty parts. Now i dont want to have to wait for this repair company to send off the faulty parts and have to wait another 5 months to get it back again, and also get it back in worse condition than when i sent it off. Anyone have any ideas if i have a leg to stand on with the warranty company to make them pay me out or get me a new one?

With phones we have to send them away 3 times before we replace. Best bet is to just play the game, send it away get it repaired again and if it doesn't work then send it off again.

It sucks but it's just how it goes I guess.

I get abused alot over this.

You shoulda gone double-din and got the 6850 or something :yes:

I reckon these folding screen ones have more problems because there are too many moving parts wearing the unit out. I'd say all you can really do is send it back again... pain in the ass to be waiting that long though!

Demand better customer service and send it back. Maybe try ringning the place you got it from they may be able to help.

Ive always had trouble with pioneer decks. I got the dvd one too and had issues with it. Had it replaced three times.

At least you got the extended warranty.

    • Thanks, I checked from the back of the cluster and no reading there. I undid the connector and plugged in the wires directly to start from where I'm getting a reading: https://imgur.com/a/W8JI6Yr Weirdly enough when I tried to get a reading from the crimps that connect to the fuel pump assembly, I got nothing. Not sure what's my next step as I have admittedly limited knowledge with electricity. 
    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
