Intuitive Touchscreen Controls
Introducing the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD multimedia receiver. This incredible unit is brand new to the 2010 Pioneer in-dash car stereo line-up and offers some amazing features that are guaranteed to satisfy anyone. Like most of the new AVH line, the P4200DVD has integrated breakthrough touch screen controls that are intuitive and easy to use. It has seamless operation with touch screen controls that act just the way you want them to. No more getting frustrated with the stereo not doing what you want it to. A well-designed graphical user interface is as pleasing visually as it is simple to operate. With touch controls similar to that of an iPhone or iPod Touch, the user will find the AVH-P4200DVD very user-friendly.
A Multimedia Center
This car stereo will become the central entertainment unit for the car. In doing so, it will offer the best multimedia options available to the best A/V experience. The rear of the unit has 3 sets of 4V preamp output that are ready to be connected to an amplifier and produce accurate, clear sound. A powerful 8-band EEQ parametric and graphical equalizer provides an entirely new level of audio tuning. Complete control each band allows fine-tuning that not many other car stereos are able to offer. Inside the double DIN chassis, Pioneer has incorporated their famous Advanced Sound Retrieval technology to restore the lost frequencies of music when they are compressed digitally. When turned on, your digital music will sound bright and clear, just as they were meant to be heard. A Region 1 DVD player offers excellent playback of DVDs, as well as DVD-R, DVD+R, and DivX Movies.
Add-On Expandability
If the main AVH-P4200DVD isn’t enough, Pioneer offers many add-on modules that give this receiver endless possibilities. GPS navigation with Eco-Route guidance is possible with the add-on navigation unit. Both SIRIUS and XM Radio are possible with the respective module and subscription service. Digital HD Radio is possible with the HD radio tuner from Pioneer. Full control from the steering wheel is also made possible. A rear view camera input allows for a back up camera to be connected. And the list goes on and on. There isn’t much that this fantastic car stereo is not capable of. For the best in A/V quality, consider the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD!

Great product except for one thing. I got this unit instead of the Bluetooth version because i wanted my i pod cables to be hidden and the bt 200 add on box dose not have the same functions as the bt in dash unit. It wont allow my phone book to be added and other stuff. Other than that best deck I've had and I've had plenty.

I bought this produce due to the instore price in Australia being nearly three times the price listed on Sonic Electronix. The only issue that I have with it is it wont play anything but region 1 DVD but I didn't buy it for that. If I was going to buy another double din unit I would buy this one again.

It has great features, when the radio is playing it shows you the name of the song and artist. It has a built in equalizer and it looks really sharp. It also plays out of your iPod and the sound is really clean. Overall an awesome stereo. Highly recommend it. The only bad thing is that it does not have a built in navigation.
