Pioneer Kenwood Sony stereos – stock shortages
01/05/2021
There is still a massive shortage of stereos from Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC and Alpine, as well as to some extent Sony.
This is due to a component factory fire in Japan, that occurred some months ago. The component shortage is still expected to last for a few months. It takes many months to rebuild a factory producing semiconductors and there is a massive shortage of semiconductors worldwide, in general.

Kenwood, JVC and Sony stereos are now available without issue.
Pioneer touchscreen stereos have a new issue in that a component factory in Japan had a fire and this has massively disrupted supply. Popular models such as the DA230DAB, DA250DAB, Z9200DAB, Z2200DAB, A3300DAB are all unavailable at the moment. This supply issue is not expected to get better until April 2021.

First a warning. If you have version 3 firmware in the MKi9000 DO NOT update it
You can check the version number by going into your phone’s Bluetooth menu and searching for a car kit. When found the MKi9000 will appear in the list with Vx.xx immediately after the name. i.e. V1.50. The updates are only valid for version 1 and version 2 firmware.
