AVIC-N1 Catches Fire!

[Hotsauce]

Well, it smoked, I didn't actually see flames.

I was adjusting the gain on my Tru, CD playing, engine off, and the screen went dead. As I returned to the pilots seat, I smelled burnt electronics. My nose led me to the headunit.

10A fuse blown. I replaced it, and smoke billowed from the fanguard by the output chips. I quickly pulled the fuse.

I'm sending it in for estimate of possible repair. I'm well past any warranty.

See if they'll let you upgrade to the new N3 that is due out next month - much better mapping and ipod interface. I've got a Z1 on order which has a 30gb drive but it is a double din unit. Sorry to hear of your smoke - we've sold hundreds of them and not had any problems.
