I ordered this head unit (HU) two days before going on a 10-hour road trip with my wife and kids. I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring (without nav system) and my factory HU would skip on CDs a lot and didn't have bluetooth or any iPod interface - no way I was going to drive that long with just a couple CDs. So I got this HU, a Metra wiring harness, a PAC SOEM-4 converter (Honda Odyssey has the factory HU output to an amp in a funky way), a Metra antenna adapter, an Axxess steering wheel control adapter, and a Scoche double-DIN dash kit. End result - a big bundle of wires and adapters hanging off the back of the HU. And I'm happy to say there was plenty of room in the dash cavity to fit it all.On to this HU. I literally got it hooked-up just before we threw our bags in the van and started driving. With no time to read the manual, I just started using it and it was actually quite easy to figure out. The menu for setting up options was straightforward (and the first... |

This brand new unit out from Pioneer is awesome and does everything that I wanted my new stereo to do. Bluetooth streaming, hands free calling, front usb for ipod control, easy to use menu, and good sound. I didn't even have to read the menu to figure how to set up everything-it's extremely easy. Bluetooth is great and connects automatically when i enter the car so i can just leave my iphone in my pocket and play the music from it. The sound quality is definitely better through the usb port though. The whole unit is a little bright because of the light bars on the side but I think that's what makes the unit look really cool at night and unique. All the different colors for the display and keys are great so you can match anything. This unit does have a dimmer its just not automatic when you turn your headlights on...you have to hold the lower right button for about 3 seconds to activate the dimmer. Makes it a lot better for night driving if you choose a bright color like white. Also... |

I finally decided to replace the OEM radio on my 2005 Scion tC. I've been putting it off for the longest time but I've finally given up using bluetooth headsets and wired earbuds. Just too cumbersome. I didn't want to spend a lot of money since I may get a new vehicle in a year or two and I really don't want the nav systems on most car stereos. I prefer using Google Maps/Navigation on my Android phone. I found this on Crutchfield.com to be honest but they sold it for more $$ so, I checked for a better deal and found it on Amazon.com. After about a week's use, here are my findings:BT Phone ConnectivityPro: Comes with microphone and easy to pair with my Android phone (Samsung E4GT). Phone book can be accessed through the stereo and you can set up 6 preset numbers that you call often. Calls are clear in low speeds.Cons: This has probably something to do with my car's acoustics but in high speeds, the microphone isn't so clear.BT Audio (A2DP)Pro:... |
