I've had the 8303 for almost a year now and no problems with the motorized faceplate.

My Pioneer p9600mp developed a problem having to do with the motorized face. It's two years old and started doing it the morning it froze temperature wise (doesn't freeze here very often!) I haven't been able to figure out what it's problem is, but the motor mechanism itself is fine.

Instead of hijacking your thread, i'm creating one for myself in just a moment :)

I've sold alot of the 6800's and nobody has ever had a problem with them.

i think most major manufacturers are going to be ok

how about the pioneers, i was lookin at the 6800 which had a motorized faceplate too, and i wasnt sure if the mechanism would fail

Yeah... The Panasonics are built pretty solid... wouldn't worry bout it.
You'll love that thing when you get it :)

So I just ordered a Panasonic CQ-C7303U

I didn't realize it was a motorized faceplate til after I bought it, I was only looking at the technical specs and features.

The thing is... My last 2 HUs broke... we have a pretty rocky dirt driveway (that has already claimed the oilpan of a 86camry and a 91 integra). I think the last couple broke from being bounced around, and I've heard that the motorized faceplates break easily.

Is this gonna be a major issue or are they built pretty well now to stand the test of time? (I only need it for 2-3 years)
