Call Pioneer if you doubt me.<br /> However, if you fry the unit during install, Pioneer will send it back.

I bet they would guarantee their installation work, and if the product becomes defective you'd have to do the warranty send yourself.

I could never see installing this nav system myself. Local installers are saying that unless you purchase from them, product will not be covered under warranty. If the product breaks within warranty, wouldn't pioneer cover any repair costs with the local installer I used? Can anyone help me? I can save roughly $600 from purchasing on the web but install and warranty is a big concern. Any suggestions??? robb I can get great pricing from a reliable web site.
