 Top Notch Deck June 27, 2008

Seriously, who needs a dvd player in their dash? All you need is a good unit that plays your music, and this one plays it all. It will handle all the standard CD, CDR, mp3, WMA, AAC files along with iPod. The iPod controls are excellent. iPod is the only mp3 player I have tried and I suspect others won't work, at least not well. I was also able to play mp3s from my cell phone via bluetooth. Speaking of bluetooth, cell phone integration is a snap. I'm using a Sony phone with mine and it works perfectly with it. The contacts download to the unit so I never have to look at the phone. I also tried an iPhone and a Samsung SGH-A737. The iPhone worked great but the Samsung would not allow the the contacts to download.
The main reason I chose this one over other double dins is the clean, simplistic look this one has. This is easily the best looking one available. While many cd players of this size can have twenty or more buttons this one has ten plus a center control knob. The knob serves many functions much like an ipod click wheel. The navigation through the menus is not perfect but is still just as good or better than most other units. It has a ton of features to please almost anyone. High pass and low pass filters with sub controls and multiple settings for more complex systems yet it's simple enough for a drop in replacement for a factory radio.
My biggest complaint is the fact you have to buy separate hardware to enable HD radio. This will cost you an extra $80-$100 if you want this feature. It would have been nice to have but I don't think it's worth that much.

Hands down, the best HU I've ever bought. I have an iPhone and really enjoy being able to control the ipod features with the head unit itself. I thought it was somewhat user friendly (once you get it figured out it's very simple), and you can do everything from search from a song by artist to play you your playlists you created on iTunes. Music resumes from where you last left off as soon as you plug in the iPhone. The handsfree phone sounds amazing as well to both you and the person you are talking to. Since it downloads your phonebook into the unit itself, it's very easy to take and make a call (and screen a call with the caller ID). When I get into my car I just plug in the ipod cord to the bottom of my iPhone, then put it in my center counsol because you don't need to do anything else with it. Caller ID, Song ID, etc. are all on the display. If the iPhone ever gets A2DP then this HU will be ready with its full bluetooth audio capability. The audio options allowed me to edit the sound to make my stereo sound like I got new speakers as well (fuller bass and louder)!
Great product June 12, 2008

I've been using this stereo for a few weeks now. It connected up to my IPOD nano without any problems. I also use the bluetooth for phone calls frequently. That is my favorite feature because it automatically connects to my phone when I get in the car and the reception and mic work great. Very happy with purchase.
 Excellent sound - good value - be ready for suprises though May 19, 2008

I replaced my Factory stereo on my toyota sequoia with this Pioneer. The sound quality really jumped up so much that I did not have to replace my original speakers or put in a sub woofer. At first it was difficult to understand how the radio stations are stored and retrived. This could have been made simple. I use the CD more than the radio and only one station on the radio and so this does not bother me. Very happy on the stereo CD player front.
The Blue tooth is OK. The mic is placed on the driver side door top corner (only place the installer could find a place without the wires showing up). This position does not help for others to speak into the microphone. Also when hearing to a converstaion on the vehicle's speakers, the person on the other end gets a slight echo thus interfering when they speak. In spite of this mini drawback, the use of bluetooth with hands free driving is so much more comfortable than any other way of talking on phone while driving. Sometimes you may not want the other passengers to hear the conversation and it is difficult to remove the BT quickly while driving thus making a private conversation difficult. Great when you are driving alone. The installer paired up motorola razor pretty easily, but when I tried to pair up my second motorala it was quite complicated. You get user manual only in CD, no printed book.
I have a Creative Zen Vision M (pretty recent version) and this is not compatible through the USB port. I was very dissapointed with this. REMEMBER TO ASK THE INSTALLER TO PROVIDE A PORT FOR AUX INPUT SO THAT YOU CAN PLUG IN YOUR OLDER DEVICES THAT DO NOT TAKE USB INPUT. DOES NOT HURT EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN IPOD.
In summary, I recommend this product. Bought it on amazon from a dealer in NY for an excellent deal.
i did my research too May 15, 2008

I shopped around, read reviews from a ton of sites, read the specs back and forth and even compared stereos from different sites. There were a few things that I was looking for when it came to investing into a new stereo for my car. It needed to be able to play multiple audio files, have some type of bluetooth capability for my iphone.
I know that some bluetooth products are incompatable with the iphone and this stereo works out perfectly. I just installed it a few hours ago and have been playing around with it. so far, so good. It was my first attempt at installing a car stereo and I must say, it was fairly simple. I have an 08 toyota matrix and had to use all the adapters that came with the installation kit (which CRUTCHFIELD) was generous enought to give me for free.
They didn't fit perfectly, but with a few simple mods of my own I was able to install it just fine. the mic that it comes with is 13 ft. long and i hid it behind my rearview mirror with excess cord.
I highly recommend this stereo if you want an all-in-one product. what drew me to it was the blue tooth connectivity already built in to it. no $200 bluetooth kits needed and it connected very easily.
It's a great product for a great price with lots of options that I haven't even looked into yet (aux, subs, etc...) but know that if I upgrade my system that I'll be able to no problem. Not to mention that it's one sexy piece of work.
