Be harder to find out what it doesn't have. Plays cd's check, DVD Movies check, Digital Media Check. Made for your iPhone/iPod so siri works great to access your music, videos, and most applications. I own a Samsung Galaxy so the USB Quick Charge port charges my phone while I play my music from my phone. Yes it has BLUETOOTH So you can drive safely while using Hands free calling. Plus it your passenger doesn't like your music tell him to use his phone to play that new Eminem Music to be Murdered by.... What else can I tell you HD radio, SiriusXM's ready, app radio mode, subwoofer control, 3 RCA pre-outs, 50Wx4, SuperTuner3D+ Full customization of speakers treble, bass, equalizer, Honestly you start playing with all the settings you will spend hours but pure enjoyment. After you find the perfect sound just kick back watch a movie because it makes DVDS look like 4k plus with the movie preset you just finished. This is why you didnt throw all them DVD movies out. Then hit your music preset to listen to sum music. Whole alot of bang for your buck. I got lucky bought this when it was the Deal of the Day for half the price. But after installing it I would of paid full price in been happy. So If your looking for a great double din radio dont look no further you find it. Would RECOMMEND To ANYBODY that's shopping for a radio. A Must Buy!!!! P.S Yes it has a remote !

I cannot think of what this radio does not come with or have. 3 preamps, enough said. Built in 13 band eq, crossover functions for the 3 seperate categories, in which are all fully adjustable....its crazy with all the adjustments. If you would liketo know what your intake temp is that day, fuel mixture %, tach and speedo and tire pressure....only doen point is instructions could have been better. Only reason, my first world prob. Oh, andthe gaggle of wires when paired with the Maestro harness. You’ll see. Took a pic also of first initial install, and everything worked moment as there was a couple questionable wires on the aftermarket harness that were a bit fuzzy on proper location. Is it called thee brake parking brake etc...youll see

Had this installed a few months ago in our 2003 Honda Odyssey and so far it's been great! It's my wife's daily driver and it has all the features she wanted and is easy to use. It looks and sounds great, and she loves that she can even change the LED colors (not a huge deal, but it's just a nice little thing that she enjoys).
So how did this thing save me $30K? Well, she had been talking about getting a new vehicle and after discussing it together I came to realize that a lot of the features she wanted in a new car could be added with a new receiver. And since our current vehicle runs and looks like new, and is PAID FOR, I was more than reluctant to buy another one. Since we installed this unit, the subject of buying a new car hasn't come up again!
If I had one complaint it would be that there is no volume knob, something I really miss on a lot of newer receivers. But no star deduction because we knew about that going in, so can't really fault Pioneer for it. All in all, this unit looks and sounds great!

I like this stereo a lot. I think the sound is amazing and I love that it connects by bluetooth to my phone. The connection happens immediately when I get in the car so there is basically no delay before music starts. I mainly play through the bluetooth setting. I would use the spotify setting but it struggles for some reason and won't update which song is playing with the name, album cover, etc. I'm not sure if this is an error through spotify or through the radio, but it works better on Bluetooth. I also wish it could show me the map when I have navigation going on my phone. But still, I love the touch screen, the look of it, and most importantly, the sound is great.

I bought this stereo to replace the factory radio in my 1998 Ford pickup. It turned into a cannibal, dead batteries ensued. I got it at a very marked down price, and installation was free, a good bonus! The unit itself powers the stock speakers quite well, equalization is a big help in making it sound better, it has an HD radio tuner which is great. It has a hook up for satellite radio. I would have preferred a built in tuner, but for the price, I'm not crying. It will play DVDs, CDs, and MP3 CDs. It fritzes over a data DVD. On the other side, the attached USB port handled my 128 Gb thumb drive easily. The 40 Gb+ MP3s on it at 192 kb sampling rate sound nice, and it handles playing random choices without a hitch. Last, it paired to an LG V40 ThinQ Android in seconds, the phone functions work like any good car system, sound really good to people who call while I drive, and onboard music from the phone was nice. I am quite pleased given the price I paid and got installation too for my casual chore truck.

Loving our new Pioneer touch screen car stereo. Easy to use, feature rich, great sound. Our special included a $ discount and installation, which took about an hour. Dave the installer rocks - showed me how to get started with BlueTooth and general use as well as a quick overview in how I can use my old ipod or get a backup camera installed. Overall, very happy.

I use the Bluetooth the most. It connects to my IPhone 8 automagically. I have subscription to YouTube music. Everything works great. Great sound. The receiver is user friendly. Nice features. I like changing the light color. You can add pictures to the screen.

My wife and I love this Pioneer Car Stereo! The screen is just right size-wise and being able to slide a CD in the slot (at the top) without waiting for the whole front to drop down is a major plus.
The functions are all easy to see and understand as well. It's an HD radio of course and the Blue Tooth works great for cell phone use also.
My only complaint is that in general no one offers a CD player that will hold multiple CD's anymore.
Oh well.

I bought this unit to replace my dated looking 2014 Subaru factory radio. I really wanted HD radio ability with bluetooth connectivity.
Pros: Looks great, very customizable, sounds great! For those who want better connection with their phone app, there is a Pioneer app that allows video and phone nav (like Waze) to display on the unit. The USB connection is needed, you can't use that feature via bluetooth.
Cons: I have an android phone (Galaxy s9), the unit automatically connects and my phone goes to Android Auto mode. This is ok. But if I'm listening to the radio, or my USB thumb drive, the unit auto switches to bluetooth when any signal, ie text or email alert comes to the phone. So, I'm frequently switching back from the bluetooth to radio/USB. This is VERY aggravating messing with the unit when driving. It's why I'm 3 starring this unit. I may return it for an Android friendly unit

I also got the Sirius XM tuner with this, and I really like the combo. I would like the mute feature to toggle on and off with a simple press, rather than a long press. I would rather get to my Sirius XM with one menu selection (like I can for Pandora, which I don't regularly use). The Bluetooth works well with my phone and the radio. I also got a backup camera and really like it. Overall, this works well for me.

Great features, although my car is to old to use all of them, it's so far an awesome deck and a huge upgrade from the stock stereo. DVD quality is fairly good for such a 6 in screen. Only 4 stars due to not being able to use all features yet as my car isnt compatible with the on screen vehicle management and all that. Would definitely buy again, and will definitely be transferring to new car when the time comes.

This was a much delayed purchase I should have picked up sooner! Radio was easy to install (with a little advice) and has great features for the price.. Has all the "bells and whistles" I need, and a few I won't be using, but others may find useful; such as dash camera and backup camera options. Love the Bluetooth, and the sound is much better that the OEM Nissan radio that was installed in the vehicle.

User friendly interface, responsive touchscreen, when I use the backup camera the picture quality shown on the radio screen is very good. Connects easily to my phone's bluetooth. Best buy installation was quick and they did a great job. They even took the time to explain all the radio functions
