Bluetooth works great with iPhone 5s for phone calls and Spotify. This was easy to set up with my phone and only took me about an hour from the time it was installed until I had everything set up the way I wanted including preset radio stations. I did not think I would use the remote but I have found that to be helpful while driving. If I am on a phone call and turn off the car it will automatically transfer the call to my Bluetooth headset or if I am not wearing it then the call goes to my phone without interruption. My husband installed this himself and it took him about 45 minutes. He installed the microphone in the area of the upper left edge of my windshield and it is out of the way and people hear me fine. I have a 2001 Camry. This radio looks very nice in my car. I am very happy that I picked this one out.

Nice radio with only the functions I need. Most radios have too many inputs or sources (USB, Pandora, Sirius, Aux, Radio, CD, iHeart Radio), it just seems like too much to have to scroll through all those sources. This one has three and that is it. I would be nice if radios with multiple sources allowed you to select only the ones you need.

I swapped out a stock Jeep Wrangler radio for this pioneer. I love the Bluetooth functionality, the "second screen" app for the phone, and (with the additional accessory) keeping my steering wheel controls. The different LED color options (customizable from the phone app or the radio itself) is nice. I purchased the stereo without the CD player to reduce mechanical components and potential for dust to enter the radio. Installed it myself with all the same accessories the Best Buy techs would have used; if you're technically or electronically inclined (comfortable with wires and crimping etc) installation is pretty simple. I'd definitely recommend this radio, and would buy again.
