Just a good product overall don't have nothing bad to say

$150 saving even after shipping + custom charges, Free dash kit and wire harness, Fast and secure shipping. Highly recommend this site for any audio purchase

PROS:
The sound quality is the best stock sound I've heard of any head unit I've ever owned, The bluetooth system is very good. Pairing the phone is simple and calls are very clear. Connects quickly when you switch on too.
CONS:
The screen itself is not very good in bright sun. You can adjust some settings, but it's impossible to get it 'just right'.

But overall it's a good unit. highly recommended

Happy with my purchase!

I purchased the Pioneer AVH-X2600BT for its integration with my iPhone. The Bluetooth syncing was simple and now connects automatically every time I get in my car with my iPhone. The Bluetooth connection is crystal clear. Playing music and podcasts from my phone is simple. Making and receiving hands free phone calls through the Bluetooth connection is much better than using my old BT earpiece. It is also great to not have to worry about keeping my earpiece charged. I like the preset and custom EQ settings. The sound through my speakers is much better now with this stereo than the factory stereo.

Installation instructions could have been clearer than what was in the manual. I had to call for support to verify the connections for my car, and the support was excellent. Once I called for help, I was able to quickly finish the installation.

excellent value and quality

I recently installed this head unit in my FX4, I added 2 - 12" subs for base. The head unit itself improved the sound in my truck by at least 80%. This head unit is great , starting with its options, user friendly, appearance and value for the price. I would definitely recommend it to others. I purchased a second head unit for my BMW X5 that will be installed over the next couple weeks.

Great deal !!!

Replaced the original head unit in my 2006 F150. I love it. Much improvement in the overall sound. It has so many features including bluetooth, aux input, and will. Play DVD's in surround sound. Great price too. Didn't care for the "tie-in" with the emergency brake. But can be by-passed.

My first double din...not bad at all!

im coming from a single din kenwood that i had for 4 years (2versions) and all i can say is this pioneer double din has A TON of future!!. but there's some small things i hate. so thats what im comparing it too.

LOVE:
-blue tooth!
great with non-iphones. when my passengers wants to play their songs.
and the incoming and outgoing phone calls. my gf says its clear on the other side of the phone!!

-bright screen
one of the things i hated about my single din was when the sunlight is out i couldnt see a damn thing. im sure the sun is the same around the world, so when it shines and im cruising to work, this double din screen is still bright and i can still see all the details.

-iphone/ipods
who doesnt have one or the other?
i currently have an Iphone 4s and it works great with just the extender and an apple wire. spotify and Pandora works great!

-EQ's
alot of adjusting can be made for your favorite type of genre. and it has two custom settings.

etc.etc

HATE:
-volume buttons
coming from a kenwood that i had for 4 years. im used to a knob. maybe its something i have to get use too but as of right now i hate it.

-Lag
its feb 26th as i write this so that means cold weather. ive had this dd for 3 days now and the weather been hitting under 10*f during the days and negatives at night. the lag happens when i use the button

--track scrolling
i listen to alot of EDM and i usually skip to the drop. so when i scroll, it also lags and its not as accurate.

like i said this dd, has a lot of future that a normal person would be overwhelm by. but dont be scared by it. in my opinion this is a great first double din for the money.!!!

Pioneer AVH-X2600BT

No Problems With The Unit, Works As Expected. Great Sound Quality. The Instructions Could Be Much Better. Seemed Like Some Were Missing. As A Installer, It Wasn't That Difficult For Such A Well Featured Unit. Would Recommend Again, With Professional Installation Or A Call To Tech Support.

Unit looks great and features are exactly what I wanted.

The unit looks great as you can change the screen background to tailor your interior. Blue tooth function is awesome which was my main reason for purchase.

Decent radio

The unit works as it should.Nice screen cool display nice touch screen.
The mirror link is a waste of time with the I phone.You will still be working everything with your phone.
Certain IOS will not work
You need to download special music , maps etc. which in my opinion are not as good as the factory set ones
Almost none of the ones you use currently will work
Possibly it works better with an android not sure though as I do not own one.

avh x2600bt

got this installed in my chevy colorado 2007 it looks great makes my speakers sound way better the blue tooth works great. dvd look's good just sucks that if you turn of your car and turn it back on you have to take the dvd out to watch it if not you can only hear it its a safety feature. and it would be better if it worked with android apps not just iphone but other than that its a nice good looking and sounding stereo.

Good unit, but not completely impressed

The good:
- Made the stock speakers sound 10 fold on a Tundra. I was going to purchase aftermarket speakers, but found it to sound incredible especially when compared to the stock head unit.
- Pandora's streams really well on my Note 2.

The bad:
- I have yet to get a USB device to work with this unit. I ran the USB cable to the glovebox so I can plug thumbdrives into it. When it tries to load I get "Unable to read" errors.
- Still haven't figured out how the apps work.
- The touchscreen radio station buttons are pretty small. Also, if I'm on FM2 and want to change to FM1 it will change for like half a second. Requires me to mess with it alot.
- The display is pretty low resolution. I would have expected better in this day in age.
- The remote layout is pretty awkward. I wished you could use the D pad and "OK" for selecting items. It also must be pointed pretty directly at the headunit for it to pickup.

I haven't used the video portion as I need to bypass the parking brake switch. I also, wished I would have stepped up to have HD radio.

Overall:
I was really impressed with the sound output of this unit and being able to control Pandora. However, if I could get a USB thumb drive to recognize I would be OK with the other issues. For the price point it's OK. I wished I would have sprung for a little bit more expensive Kenwood unit. I thought after reading the many positive reviews I was getting something really impressive. You get what you pay for.

Great radio

This radio is a very nice touchscreen. It's a good improvement from stock. You can run up to three amps from it. It has a ton of great features and is easy to use. Installation was not bad at all either. The sound difference from this radio versus stock is a crazy difference. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice touchscreen for their vehicle. You also can't beat the price on this website. Very happy with my purchase. The one little complaint I have is the USB port is in the back. Not a huge problem but front would be better.

This deck is AWESOME

I've installed a few pioneer decks and speaker setups and there is nothing bad I can say about ANY of Pioneer's products. I was an avid Alpine lover but after experiencing the AVH line I was quick to convert to Pioneer. Bluetooth works like a charm, audio/video playback is great, and the personalization features are phenomenal. One thing that is upsetting is the inability to play my ipod on this unit. The playback is very choppy and sounds like a skipping CD. Apparently, this is a common problem for this unit. It was my fault for not doing the research prior to purchasing this deck but this problem is mentioned in multiple forums. Not a big deal for me as I just bought a 32gb flash drive and use that for music. Overall, this is a solid deck.

Awesome Unit

I replaced my stock double din with this in my 05 Aztek and man do the speakers sounds awesome. I use to have a sound system before but had to remove it due to ticket now I want to add it again to see how much clearer it sounds with this unit, too bad a $1000 ticket isn't worth it. But overall the unit is great, great response no freezing, good color for dvds, the main reason i bought this was because it has buttons and red lights i feel like full touchscreen is too much, this makes it look stylish and easy to use for everyone. The buttons are great. The remote is more for DVD use and not for entire stereo features. The only downside is I had a wireless back up cam and I can't connect it to the headunit so I have to buy a wired camera. Also Sonic Electronix sent me the wrong wire harness so I had to buy one. I will edit this if there are any future problems but for now I HIGHLY recommend this headunit to anyone and everyone.

Great Bang For Your Buck!

Ordered this head unit a while ago and didn't have time to install it right away, but when I did.. Holy it is awesome! Bluetooth functions are flawless, hands-free calling is great and the included mic is very clear for the person listening on the other end. Nice range of adjustability in the EQ section but nothing special. Overall I think this is the best value i could have gotten from anyone hands down. Thanks for the quality service and quality product! P.S. Maybe have it delivered to the correct house next time.. An old man was nice enough to phone me saying he had my package!

Pioneer 2600bt review

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Love this radio to pieces!! There's really nothing I can say to make this radio look bad in my eyes. My brother bought a similar radio for almost 700 and his doesn't even have bt. If you've never owned a radio like this, don't waste another minute and order it. Hope this helps.

great double din

Pioneer has never disappointed me, so I decided to put this head unit in my girls elantra. Bluetooth works great and the display is great. Plus the touch screen responsiveness is amazing way better than my kenwood double din. Only thing I was disappointed with is that the app mode is only for Apple phones....What about us android users?!

Excellent product for the price

Excellent product just work as described. The only thing that i don't like is that you need to spent a few bucks to buy a lot of cables in the way to use all the features that this beauty offers, but one time you have all you never regret. Sonic Electronix best price on the web and super fast shipping

Great

I switched from a Jensen radio to this rado, and to say it short it was the best decision I've made in a regards to audio. The Bluetooth function is great with good control in the car.

I haven't figured out MirrorLink and the rear camera but that's something I've probably done wrong.

Pioneer AVH-X2600BT - Great upgrade from stock

I am coming from a 2007 Honda Fit Stock stereo that only had the CD player and an Auxiliary Input to play music off your phone.
This stereo crushes the options as a stock device but if you are interested in getting more technical the stereo becomes a full fledged Android system using a rooted phone, a slimport cable, and AppRadio Unchained app.
I love being able to get into my car and have it instantly connect via Bluetooth for phone calls or to stream music from my phone as well. I enjoy even more being able to mirror my screen and use the stereo as anything I have on my phone. Using my favourite Navigation app, Spotify, when parked I can quickly check my email, texts, etc right on the stereo.
Sweetness!
I would for sure give this 5 out of 5 stars if I didn't have to modify anything to be able to mirror my phone. I think that is where things are heading soon with Apple and Android's versions of car stereos coming soon. For now I am happy with this Pioneer though.

Pioneer AVH-X2600BT

This is the best 280 dollars I have ever spent on car audio in my life.... I am more than pleased with its functionality and user friendliness..... the thing I use it for the most is to blue tooth my phone and my saved music to it..... it's the best and you guys are too.....

Amazing Aftermarket Add On!!!

I have a '08 Chevy trailblazer with premium Bose surround sound and this looks and sounds amazing in my truck! The screen is matte and easy to use even while driving. It's easily customizable with different backgrounds and backlighting. My favorite thing about this is the Bluetooth; I love that when I get in my music switches right over every time with no issues.

Terrific value!

I have had this radio in my Honda CR-Z for about a month now and I love it. The functions are super easy to use. The graphics of the display make things easy to find and manipulate. The EQ is just enough to balance my sound without going full blown DSP and for $259 (or whatever the total was with the discount) I couldn't find anything that could compare with the number of features. The blue tooth works far better than the factory one in my wife's car, the A2DP function is great, the interface with MP3 player or IPod etc is super fast. Very satisfied with this unit. When I finish adding the amps and speakers in a few weeks I may go with an external DSP for T/A but the cost of this unit + the DSP is still a mile lower than a unit with a built in DSP and there is no such thing as a double din/DVD unit with full DSP functions yet so this is the best of both worlds.

Pioneer AVH-2600BT

I ordered a BOSS double din unit and tried to save a few bucks, however, sonic offers a no hassle return policy (within 60 days). I returned the boss unit and ordered the Pioneer AVH-2600BT and received it a few days later. It has an amazing 8 band EQ, and I am able to dial in my components, and it has sub level and custom EQ. The bluetooth pairs up good to my android, and the microphone works great as well. I am still learning more about this unit that I like. I would recommend this unit. I like that it has 3 preamp outputs to power all my speakers. (front/rear/sub)
