hello iam planning to import a pio HU from netherlands. will the model number be the same in netherlands as in india like pio 5850, 6850 and 4850. if not please give me the exact model numbers of the above models in netherlands. its very urgent...................as i have no time.......

Jaggu · 8th June 2006, 12:31

model numbers should be the same, only thing availability varies from country and region

navin · 8th June 2006, 12:36

performance should not be an issue. alost all cars have a nominal 12V power supply.

considering your components while the Pio Hu is ok I would guess there are better speakers than Pioneer. I would suggest you invesigate other brands as well.

lastly dont expect any warranty support from your local dealer should anything go wrong. Pioneer has a lot of authorised service centers in India (atleast in Mumbai) and these will offer you service but will charge you just as they would for any grey market pioneers sold here.

Prem... Like Navin said... imported = no warranty..

Secondly you will get the same thing in India at rates cheaper that der Nederlanden!

In fact I find the rated of HU's in India cheaper than Singapore/Dubai!

and YIPPIEEE>... THE FORUM IS BACK ONLINE!!

I think i would import only 2 things from the netherlands. Women and marijuana. I do believe Pioneer would be cheaper in India.

jkdas · 8th June 2006, 13:46

yah, and why a Pio frm Dutch?

sk456 · 8th June 2006, 13:53
