Pioneer - In-dash Bluetooth® Audio Digital Media (ADM) Receiver with Built-In Cradle for Smartphone - Black

Needed a fix for a classic truck and wanted modern features. This head unit does it all!

bought this for my uncle and he likes it. He wanted something for his phone to connect using apps and loves the phone holder, that holds his phone. He loves thatbit uses the navigatiom from his phone through the stereo. Has no cd player just uses your phone by blutooth.

First let me say that it works really great it has a great feature that literally adjust the music for you on each speaker so that it gives you the best possible sound and it does it automatically and it changes between songs so that if one second you listening to a rock ‘n’ roll song gives you the better quality to listen to that type of music and then of the next song is more of a hip-hop song it automatically adjust for some thing with more bass . The app itself that you have to download while using this head unit it’s really cool it allows you to jump back-and-forth between different streaming services so I have to give it to pioneer not a bad concept whatsoever. Now for the stuff that well to be completely honest that’s not allowing me to give it five stars, the volume button.,,, in order to turn down the volume button you have to keep pressing it it’s not one of those were you just hold it down and it automatically goes back to zero which is a little annoying. Also the cradle that holds the phone does not charge wirelessly . Also the app could use some easier displays for switching too different sections…. As for the price a can’t complain whatsoever….

I think this could have been a great stereo, but the choices Pioneer made makes it pretty good for what it is. Pros: - Good sound quality. Definite improvement (with stock speakers) over my low-end factory stereo, and the equalizer is very effective. - Good user interface. Simple physical buttons on the stereo face, simple layout of the app on the phone screen. - Ability to increase the gain on the Bluetooth source, so it's roughly equalized with the radio. - Very good phone cradle: sturdy, secure, easy to rotate from landscape to portrait and vice-versa. I particularly like being able to use Google Maps in portrait mode. - I like the overall physical setup, with a single-DIN stereo that gives me an extra storage spot, and a built-in phone cradle (esthetically more pleasing than one that's connected to the dash or windshield of blocking an air vent). Cons: - The voice assistant in the Pioneer app is useless: when I tell it to call someone it either doesn't hear me at all or it doesn't understand me, over and over again. When it finally understood me, it spelled "Allan" as "Allen" and couldn't find the contact in my phone book. Google Assistant works fine through the microphone, so it's not a mic issue. - Messages through the Pioneer app are useless for me: the only options I have for messaging apps are Facebook and Viber; where the hell is Messages, the built-in Android messaging app? Overall, I like it, I'm keeping it, but I'm playing with using it in conjunction with Android Auto on my phone to get the most out of it.

Hey for the price this is a really nice unit. I needed a single din for my old corvette and wanted the iPhone features so this unit fit the bill. The only knock is the placement of the USB port, I have a short cable that is rolled up but it blocks the volume up button when plugged into the docked phone. Sound quality is pretty good as I mated it with pioneer speakers.

I have a single din opening in my car and wanted a radio that was capable of bluetooth calling and display google maps for travel. This fit the bill perfectly. When I don't need the google maps, the phone holder neatly folds away and it looks like a normal radio. When I am following google maps, I pull out the phone holder and my phone connects wirelessly to give me the visual map and verbal directions over my cars speakers. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Easy to install and use, I like the cellphone holder.

Very easy, intuitive install. App controls are great and it has a very high end overall apperance. Above all it sounds awesome.
