yes the first generation mask did have the ribbon cables go
what do you exspect for a radio that flips 180 degrees
every time you turn it on and off
how many times does it flip in a average day
but its not like they broke every other day
most of the units i seen broke after 2-3 years
and ya put a new cable in properly and away it went again

the deck gizz has is not the same version and i have not seen 1 in for a cable problem in that generation of deck

i have serviced jvc and sonys for cables too
don't see everybody jumping on the its junk wagon when they break

i already posted how to fix his problem
contact info that would provide him with a relable repair and timely service

along time ago

unfortuantly not all dealers service there customers the same
and brand suffer from that

i think my kenwood amp just blew up.
mmm the 7252 is so solid it will last forever a kenwood rep told me.
um no... going on 6 months of running the amp at low volumes more often then highs and its done.

Well, I gave it to them and they're going to ship it off to Kenwood for an estimate. Maybe I'll try faxing something over to Kenwood too so that they know it's me, yet again.

And I got him to quote me on replacing it with Clarion stuff... If I wasn't so broke right now, I probably would have done that, but... I might get off with just a couple hundred or less for the Kenwood repair, if I'm lucky.

And they gave me a loaner to use for the next month while it's out, so I'm not tune-less in the van for this weekend's trip to the lake.

So now, we wait... again.

Robmar, my real point was to see what lengths you would go to to show us all how stellar of a brand it really is in your eyes regardless of what other peoples issues and experiences may be. All brands have issues, no exceptions. I was not aware you say... that is quite the ASSumption you just made. Please keep me out of your personal views in the future, especially when you do not know me or my background.

GrizZz, lets hope for the best here for you. Nice of them to give you a loaner.

i didn't claim it was a stellar product but to have two units with problems
and some seem to crop up after repair
all im saying is that finding a good repair depot makes all the difference
its like going to a ford garage for warranty service
do you think that they all provide the same work at the same level

i don't think so


so my point if you can understand this is that there are problem service depots
im offered my help and experience to a good place that had quick service
did he take my advice no
why not
i guess he like the service he's getting now
i also provided contacts at kenwood
names and numbers
so that he could contact the appropriate people to fix his problem

what offends me is his inaction to use this information to resolve his problems

but he then comes on here to complain about it
the way i look at it its nobodys fault but his own
