    Just what my old car needed

    This is my first smart car stereo, which replaced my archaic stock radio. Having it now for a few weeks. I can say that this was one of the better purchases I've spent my money on. I have my Pixel 2 XL hooked up to AA and it works great. I've used two different brand cables at different lengths (1.5ft / 3ft) and they work flawlessly. I was a little worried about it running my stock speakers, but this radio increased the clarity and sound. I was actually amazed at how much better music sounds. Not sure why it took me so long to upgrade, but I'm glad I waited. I was on the fence with a cheaper Sony or an Alpine, but I'm glad I spent the extra money on this h/u.

    I was jealous because my son got a new radio for his car *laugh* and since I decided I wasn't going to be getting a new car any time soon, I should put a new radio in mine. My son helped me pick it out and install it. Works great and I love it. Just an FYI, if you want to us SiriusXM (which you get a free limited time subscription to) you'll need to get a tuner, otherwise you can't access it. We found that out after the fact so had to get a tuner and my son had to uninstall and reinstall everything.

    Had to replace the radio in my 2006 Toyota Tundra. The sales staff did a great job locating a unit for me with lots of bells & whistles at a very affordable price. The technician that installed it was fast and very knowledgeable. When I went to pick it up it looked great. He took it he time to give me tutorial on it’s numerous functions. Nice guy. This is why we always try to buy from Best Buy if possible. Keep up the great work.

    The Sirius radio is a real winner. I just discovered that it is spooling all my selected stations so that whenever I change channels, it starts the current song from the beginning, no matter where the actual broadcast is in the song. The blue tooth was easy to set up with multiple cellphones and the hands-free cell use works flawlessly. I also like the feature where I plug my iPhone into the USB cable from the back of the radio and I can access everything on my phone on the radio. The buttons on the left side of the screen, including the volume buttons, are really small if you have big fingers. Other than that, so far so good.

    I had this model installed on my Honda. The unit works great and the features are excellent, except the USB. After installation, the installer noticed that I didn't have a working USB. After he tried several options, he came to the conclusion that the USB on the unit was dead. He volunteered to put in a new one once the malfunctioning unit was replaced. I called Best Buy that day and through the difficult to understand phone receptionist, I was able to discern two things: One, since I purchased the unit more than fifteen days ago, I was out of luck and Two: If though the product was faulty, Best Buy was not going to stand behind their open box product, that as advertised, was supposed to be as good as new. I told the gentleman on the phone that I would like to speak to a manager and he assured me that one would contact me. Needless to say, I was never contacted again. I did call Best Buy again and with a different operator was given the same run around with the same level of understandability due to the poor ability to communicate. This gent told me to visit a local store and see what they could do for me. Rather than wasting my time, I use a portable charger while in the vehicle. Bottom line: buy from a company that sells products as advertised and stands behind the products they sell. I will not use Best Buy again.

    I've had this radio for over a year and it has been wonderful the only meh thing is the display response but other than that no problem. I would highly recommend using a iDatalink to use the full extent of what it can handle and its easier to install than having to splice any wires

    love radio. Ignor all the bad reviews. I was reading them and most of them were from Geek Squad screwing up the installs. Take it somewhere to have it professionally installed and you will love it. Could use an hdmi input so i can use my firestick more easly then the way I had to go around and make it work, it can be done though. Pioneer is for clean sound quality, and that is what this receiver does.

    Great for CarPlay - raised buttons on left = super

    Great deck. Fast startup and loading time -- much more so than my deck. CarPlay comes up in less than 5 seconds from starting the car. Raised buttons on the left side of the panel are much better than touchscreen only, and the middle button is raised a tiny bit above the rest which makes it easy to feel where the volume buttons are (just above that middle button). So, great deck, fast, radio is fine (don't use it much). No crashing or erroring at all in CarPlay

    I was looking for a stereo for my older vehicle and the sales representative recommended the Pioneer -6.8. I LOVE THIS STEREO. The only question I ask myself is "Why Did I Wait So Long To Buy It?" The system looks beautiful in the vehicle and operates like the factory system that came in my newer vehicle. The sound is great. Now my son and daughter in law are considering replacing their stereo systems & they have newer cars. They love the Pioneer -6.8 too!!
