 Pioneer DEH-P4000UB In-dash Receiver November 2, 2008
R. J. Wilson (Near Eureka, CA)
I was looking for a receiver for my new truck camper and already had the DEH-5000 in my Super Duty.The two-line display of that unit to be too distracting and found that the DEH-4000 had similar controls and specifications, including USB plugin for iPod. Installation was straight forward with clearly written instructions. Yes, you do have to read the manual, some wires were clearly labeled.
Sound seemed equal to the DEH-5000 as the specifications indicated. Great unit, not pricey with good features. Can highly recommend. Vendor shipping was fast, reliable store, would use again. Also has plugins to add satellite or other auxiliary input later.
 Clean, intuitive, and so far, dependable. October 31, 2008

I've never undertaken any kind of car audio or electronics work. I decided to try my hand at it with this one and bought the head unit (installation at our local big box store would have been free, but I wanted to learn this for future reference). I have a 99 Saturn and the existing head unit was an aftermarket deck as well. This is important only because it meant that I didn't have to buy any extra parts to install this (as the existing aftermarket deck had already warranted its own wiring harness and dash kit). The install went pretty smoothly considering it was my first. I wound up splicing some wires together using some crimp connectors. Getting everything back into the dashboard took a little finesse, but wasn't complicated.
If you're going to do this yourself, my only reminders would be to:
1. read the install instructions first
2. disconnect the negative terminal from the car battery before starting
3. start by connecting the ground wire from the stereo to the dash frame before any of the other wires
4. Make sure you have plenty of extra USB cable run through to your glove box...or wherever you're running the USB extension cable...as this will not be easy to do after everything's installed, and
5. reconnect the car battery and test the sound before putting everything back in the dash (I didn't think to do this, and ended up having to take it all out again when I realized one of the speakers wasn't getting sound because a wire had become disconnected)
Installation aside, the unit sounds great and was worth the work.
However, one detail I haven't seen mentioned in other reviews for this unit has become apparent when using a USB flash drive with the deck (and MP3 CD's, too, for that matter). This model does not support .M3u playlists; a detail that's buried deep in the owner's manual in subscript. What this means for the user is that when you plug in a USB drive with, say, 800 songs on it, it will not recognize a playlist order...only the order in which the songs were dragged/copied onto the drive. In my case, I have my computer natively set up to organize all music by artist folder/album folder/file name. When I plug in my 8 GB drive, it plays all the songs from one artist, then all the songs from the next artist, and so on.
Because of this, the random play option on the unit is very necessary. However, it will only randomize the order of songs within a given folder. Again, not very useful as a shuffle feature if I have 26 folders sorted by artist. Adding to the confusion and limited randomization is the fact that, in random play mode, skipping to the next song will not bring you to the next random song, just the next song in the folder. For example, during random play mode, if you're listening to the randomly-selected track "M" and you're bored with it and decide to skip to the next song, going forward one track will simply bring you to track "N" as opposed to a new randomly-selected track (say, track "R" or track "B"). I won't belabor this point, but suffice it to say that this can be frustrating when using a USB drive with 800 tracks and when true shuffled playback is desired, and keeping in mind that playlists are not supported.
This may be a minor issue, but I really value randomization in my music listening, and having all my songs clumped together by artist takes some of that away from my listening experience. Perhaps, though, this won't bother most users of this stereo. All around, I'm still happy with my purchase, and would do it all again if faced with the need.

 Too complicated October 15, 2008
N. Dunckel
I liked this unit because it is so flexible. However, my wife makes fun of me because it took me 2 hours to program it. The first hour was wasted because I didn't realize I was in the "Demo" mode. Now a few months later I had to re-program it again because I disconnected my battery. After half an hour I gave up and left my presets at default values.
PS I may be a klutz but I am an amateur radio operator and have a graduate degree in EE.
Good radio - "Do All" knob is very cumbersome October 2, 2008
Marcia Nielsen (Seattle, WA)
Pioneer super tuners are great and this radio is a great value. I especially like the USB connection which allows my memory sticks to be played with no hassle.
Two problems are 1) the multifunction knob is a bad idea but you can get used to it and/or use the remote control, and 2) turning the unit off or setting the clock are a mystery; just can't do it.
