Just a short note to let you all know that I purchased a Pioneer XM ready unit from Best Buy in January.

I can't tell you how good it sounds because I STILL don't have it hooked up.

Several trips to Best Buy, and the stupid techs can't figure out how to either hook the thing up properly and don't care in the first place. Three visits yeilded no results because the tech either was "sick" that day or didn't show up to work. On my last visit, I arrived on time at 10:30 and didn't get out of that hell hole unitl 6:30!! Yup, EIGHT hours later!! With nothing more accomplished than having the unit sent out for repair!! (God forbid they can install a loaner unit with a hundred of them on the shelf!!)

The unit has one defective part and was sent to be fixed. A month later it came back, was installed, and found to be STILL defective. No apologies from Best Buy.

The unit is now sitting on a table in my room. I don't want the idiots at Best Buy working on it anymore, but have already paid for the lousy installation.

I called Pioneer, and will probably send it out to them to be fixed under warrenty. Then I'll take it back to the idiots at Best Buy and yell at them for an hour to do the DAMN job right!!!

Sorry, had to vent.


PS Cleeve and the guys at La Jolla Audio have been GREAT. Only wish I were listening to tunes..... blame Best Buy entirely.

I"ll post again when this saga is over. January, February, March, April..... do I hear May or June????
