Great value

A lot of bang for your buck out of a double din. Very easy to install and easy to set sound how you want it.

Pioneer AVH-290BT (FREE upgrade to AVH-200EX)

It's a great sounding stereo DVD sound could be much better or I'm not setting the EQ right. Also how do I clear out the bluetooth system

Not a bad Head Unit for the price

Pros: Has a pretty good feature set. Sounds good. Great Price.

Cons: UI is very low end looking. Wallpaper/Background not customizable like most Pioneer double DINS.

Bottom line is it is a good starter Double DIN unit. Certainly not the best out there, but it will get the job done

Pioneer AVH210EX

I have been using this radio for two years. It has been great and I would recommend this radio or one similar to it.

DO NOT BUY THIS RADIO!

I put this in my Tahoe and have had nothing but issues with it. The screen freezes up all the time, it will either not show the name of the song I’m playing through Bluetooth, show the wrong one, or show the right name for the first couple songs and then freeze up and the next 5 or 6 songs I listen to still show the title of the second song from 20 minutes before.
The FM screen does the same. When I scroll through my 6 presets, I may press 2 and then 6 but it will stay on 2.
The Bluetooth connection to your phone doesn’t always respond either. Sometimes when you get a call, you can answer it on the screen but sometimes it will just go straight to your phone and disconnect from the radio altogether, even when you’re listening to your own music.
Overall the worst head unit I’ve ever had in any of my vehicles, and will never purchase another. I urge you to do the same.

Gerat value

Love this radio not to pricey and works very well

Great deck

I use this deck because it is very user friendly. Easy for the older people that aren't too electronically savvy. I've installed 3 of these decks and customers love it. Has a 5 band EQ which really makes it less confusing for the listener.

Great Unit!

For a price conscious unit, this thing works really well. I have 2 amps, and a backup camera hooked up to it, and it works great!

Nice radio at great price

Purchased this radio as factory replacement in Toyota Tundra. Install was easy due to all needed parts came free from sonic. Power is good as well as ease of use. I purchased pioneer backup with this unit. It all works together very easy. Pros are ease of use and many functions. Price also. No cons at this time.

good but not great

I like this product for the price but it is not full of features. this is not for experienced car radio enthusiasts who care about the little things. Everything works great on the radio and as a whole it is solid but i wish it had a little more. The microphone to me is very important and is amazing.Your conversations will be a breeze.

Entertainment System on a budget

Invested in the double DIN DVD/CD player. It has been a great investment. It was beyond easy to use and navigate through screens for editing sound quality. It has a HUGE display for transitioning between CD, Radio, Bluetooth, AUX. I was very pleased with this feature. The touch screen is OUTSTANDING, not overly sensitive. No security feature however, very discreet design-screen can be turned off while radio on. Expansion for Sub and Highs, Mids-again outstanding. Also utilizing the back up camera and really, what an incredible product. Invest in expansion with this entertainment system, you will not be disappointed. I am extremely happy/pleased/satisfied product.

Great product

I love this radio very nice and easy to use

By Herman on August 26, 2017


Pass on it

Pro:
Sounds good with stock speakers.
Looks good and slightly generic.

cons:
Bluetooth connectivity issues. (also needs a on/off/on signal from the hand break to unlock some bluetooth features and dvd)
RDS (station info) only show's a handful of characters at a time instead of using the full display and doesn't update on multiple stations.
No pandora/iheartradio integration.
USB reading is slow and takes a while before the radio is responsive.

In hindsight, I wish I would've returned it.
