A few days ago, I was informed that Pioneer is being sold to a Hong Kong investment fund.
Although Pioneer is calling it a chance for a "turn around", as far as I'm concerned, the writing is on the wall. I've never seen a legacy company survive these kinds of changes. I know Pioneer has been changing for a while now, but this is like the "final nail" in the proverbial coffin.
I have lots of Pioneer silver and blue face gear from near my birth year. And I spent almost my entire adult life using Pioneer car stereo equipment. We even utilize Pioneer's most current Android Auto stuff in the vehicles that can be upgraded, but of course we own one modern car that can't utilize aftermarket gear, like so many newer vehicles these days.
