I bought a AVIC-N2 about a year and a half ago. It worked okay most of the time, although I could not get it to play DVD movies, even with the parking break on. A few days ago, the joystick stopped working, and then a day after I noticed that, the screen went dark, and stopped working. The radio works on one station, but I can't change the station, and I can't play a CD, because there is no way to tell it to switch from the radio to a CD. I bought this unit at Good Guys, and they are out of business. I never like to purchase extended warranties, but I did this time, but can't find the contract. Does anyone know if this is something Pioneer would be able to look up, and also, what may have gone wrong with the unit. For such an expensive piece of equipment, you would expect it to last longer. From reading comments on this site, it doesn't sound like they are very reliable. I appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you.
The problem with the screen coming out, buttons not working,screen not showing anything..etc. all have to do with the flex cable. Pioneer does repair it for free if it hasn't been sent in yet, but other than that its a $200 fix. I repair many of these every week and pioneer quit selling the part. I have 1 guy that I get them from but they are about triple the normal cost.

Contact Tech Support for Pioneer. They have a call back on the Flex Cable which is the source of all your problems. It took 2-3 weeks for the repairs. Although, now I have a problem with the screen rolling out.
