Yesterday my car was broken intoo and the idiots stole only the detachable face from my Pioneer DEH 9250.. It was around a 2000 model but pretty top of the line at the time. Pioneer wants $450 for a new face, but i dont think thats gonna happen. May as well but something new for that kind of money

Is there anything that can be done with the unit without the face? possible to mod a different face to control the deck? or use teh remote control somehow?
I have seen some wiring digrams on teh net before for Pioneer decks but nothing about this.
Are the parts useful to anyone if I am unable to use it again?

Any one got any suggestions for new products? Mp3, DVD, Lcd.... (I just want the 3 pre outs back)

Find a car with the same head unit you have and do the same. You never know you might take it back from someone who took it from you..

IH John, they broke in by smashing the drivers side window. I have an alarm, but the siren was temporariy out of action.

So the deck without the face is absolutely useless?
maybe i will use the deck to smash someone elses window! time to go for a walk around the casino car park................

Mate if the bloody thing wokrs at all i will be happy! inside or out....
The idiots that did my car werent in it for long, missed a lot of goodies, didnt " find " the glove box, or boot release, ... but managed to open the fuel cap!

It should take a decent theif about a minute to break a console and remove a headunit.

Had the same problem as you Avin. They took just the face and left me with the head unit that doesn't work anymore. Sometimes i wonder why they bother to take it in the first place when they have no use for it. In the end no one benefits from that

maybe we should run a school for junkkies and car theifs. What is teh correct procedure of breaking into cars, eg pick the cheapest window, dont dent or scratch the car while at it, if ya gonna take the face at least take the whole bloody unit, so we dont have to stare at it after! etc etc

There will be a small button that you can push in, You will get whatever mode it was in before the head was nicked, You won't be able to change volume or cd or anything. and the remote reciever is in the face. :-)

Who the hell would break into a car just to steal the face off a deck?..

Surly it couldnt be any one who owns a car because A, What car owner would go to all that trouble and risk to end up with what is esentualy a useless piece of plastic with out the rest of the unit, and B,You would hope they would understand the fustration and cost of such stupid act...

Unless the guy had exactly the same deck and someone stole the face off his one, so he was compelled to do it back to someone else.
