For those that enjoy high quality sound, this is the unit for you. The Pioneer Premier DEH-P980BT is an amazing unit that allows the user to make all of the necessary adjustments to fully customize the music. Featuring a 16-band graphic equalizer, the user can easily adjust the sound level and playback. For systems that are using component speakers or subwoofers, this unit features high-pass and low-pass filters built right into the unit. This results in more accurate and precise sound from each speaker or subwoofer. When connecting to an amplifier, the unit supplies 5 volt preamp outputs for the highest quality of sound reproduction.
The unit also features a high quality Full-color Organic Electro-Luminescent (OEL) display. It will display all of the information needed for the CD, incoming phone call via the built-in Bluetooth, or the iPod with the appropriate Pioneer iPod adapter. The Pioneer Premier DEH-P980BT is a quality receiver in a single DIN housing. It is sure to be the center of your car system for the years to come!
General Features:
In-dash AM/FM, CD, MP3, WMA player with Remote
Built-in Bluetooth technology supports hands-free calling with a compatible Bluetooth phone
I love this unit, my only concern is that it has a lot of full-connect failures when trying to connect to my BlackBerry Storm. I am supposing that it's RIM's(Blackberrys) fault and not Pioneer, because the Operating System is extremely buggie, and every time I make a call from the deck, it works perfect, but if I make the call from the phone, it fails like 50% of the time.
BlueTooth Audio also drops a lot, probably related to the same thing.

This product was purchased as a gift for someone overseas, but after 6 months, I have not heard any complaints from the recipient. This product was referred to me by a pre existing customer and backed by the trusted Pioneer name.

Ok, this is on seriously cool headunit. I love everything about it. It has customizing options to suit even the most demanding enthusiast. The sound is quite simply unbelievable. I replaced a Alpine 9830, and it sounded so dull and lifeless even before I got this unit. After installing the P980BT I saw just how dull the sound really was.
Pioneer has always made good products and the tuner section in all Pioneer units is second to none, but this unit really blows all the others out of the water.
5 volt preamp outs, all the sound eq you could imagine, nice graphics and a really classy look, all add up to be the best receiver I have ever owned.
If you are looking for a truly highend receiver look no further.
It is a bit tricky to navigate but give yourself a day or two and you will know it inside and out
