Pioneer - Bluetooth - In-Dash CD Receiver - Black

All the settings and buttons work, no issues so far. I did notice some breaks in the Bluetooth audio but I'm convinced it's just my phone loading or doing something in the background causing that. No fault of the radio itself. I like the fact you have a dim setting that can be setup, so when you want it very dark just hold the button and presto it's dark. Now I do have trouble seeing it in the daytime even with dim off, but oh well who cares really what will you see but the station or BT connected or whatever it says. No big deal. I was told online to get a radio that uses a 13 ban equalizer so this was it for me. I like the remote though I'll never use it, and it's a good radio. I wish it cycled colors like white, yellow but I didn't pay enough for that stuff.

I bought this to replace my stock radio because of how basic the factory unit was. I had no desire to spend a lot to money to get the fancy bells and whistles. I don't need touch screen, GPS, backup camera, voice control, or any of that. I simply wanted a radio with AM/FM/CD but needed it to have Bluetooth phone connectivity because of increasing regulations. The Pioneer absolutely delivers at less than $150 including the mounting kit and wiring. Depending on your vehicle, you need basic hand tools (screwdriver and ratchet with common sockets) and a soldering iron to do it right, took me less than an hour. Easy day.

I had this installed as we prefer to listen to Pandora as we travel and the factory radio did not have Bluetooth. I still have to learn some of the ways of using the phone connection with predefined contacts, I simply haven't taken the time to do so. It works great when receiving a call as both you and the person on the other end can hear clearly. Only thing I can think of that would make it better would be the ability to display both the time and information regarding the track playing at the same time. But that's no big deal as it is easy to cycle the display when desired.

I replaced my factory radio in my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan with this radio. It works great. Calls are clear in bluetooth. The color can not be changed, it stays a blue light. I also feel like it takes too many turns on the dial to turn volume up, but it's not a big issue. Skip button to go through stations is not ideal for me. I would rather push a button and let go to search, but you have to hold this one down and it skips fast. But, again not too much of an issue. Sound quality is great. Easy hookup for bluetooth.

All around it works great. All the features work as advertised. I was a little upset that the leds could not change color, it was a little spendy, and after having it for about a month some of the more commonly used buttons are noticeably more used than others (the skip song button is a little more indented than the previous song button). There are higher quality items out there, and I would suggest researching these kind of products more carefully as the installation and product itself is quite spendy.

Outstanding system.... no issues as of yet. I love state of the art Bluetooth Wireless Technology which gives me hands free capabilities when I need it the most while driving. The pairing between my cell phone and the car stereo was simple and easy. I can answer all my calls, redial or manage call waiting directly from the receiver. I can also play music apps such as Pandora now with a push of a button.

It’s a little old-school with the CD player but I put it in a 2005 Ford. I’m quite tech savvy and have many devices but this stereo is the most complicated device I can remember ever owning or using. My wife still hasn’t figured it out— and that’s bad when it’s something you’re trying to use while driving. The complexity and strange button arrangement sort of trumps any of its features.

I didn't need a lot of bells and whistles, but this radio has what I needed and more. I just wanted to be able to make calls and sync up my phone to listen to the music stored there. Works perfectly and has all the ability to adjust that I need. Perfect with my iPhone for making/receiving calls and text messages, hands free.
