Good Unit

This is my first double din unit. I've always went with Pioneer and they always make good products but it's not without its flaws. The new Pioneer NEX user interface looks good. One thing that Pioneer skipped out on is that these new units don't display regular cd data unless it's an MP3 disc. I'm a bit old school and still liked that feature. This unit is a step up from the x2600bt. Bluetooth works great for calling and audio streaming. The audio streaming displays all the data accept the album art. I'm an android user so this review is mainly based on android users point of view. Hooking my GS3 to the usb is good for charging but as far as media transfer, it sucks. It takes entirely to long for the unit to recognize the phone data. So the best way to stream music digitally is through the Bluetooth or through a flash drive because they both work much faster. The DVD works fine but will work better with the micro bypass. That thing is not only good for DVDs anytime but it also unlocks some features that are not accessible while driving like Bluetooth audio and display settings. And finally, mirrorlink. Pioneer did their job as far as the hardware when it comes to connecting mirrolink but the problem is the app that's suppose to bridge the gap between the phone and the head unit. The app is called drive link and it a complete piece of crap. Until Samsung properly fixes the app then using mirror link is not an option on non App Radio headunits. I do like this unit because it's a big step up from my previous pioneer single din unit but I wish I would have done a little more research because I probably would have went with the App Radio 3 unit. So if you want to use your android phone more with the headunit then get one of the App Radios that Pioneer makes.

good unit

Menus and buttons are a little slow to respond. I like the features and more advanced sound adjustment options. Would have appreciated a small round volume knob. The track forward on the unit causes the display button to shut the screen off.

My first double din

Installed in a 2011 Subaru WRX. Perfect fit and easy to install. I had the factory option sub woofer installed prior to having this head unit and the head unit alone made a great difference in sound over the stock unit. Ended up swapping out the factory 10" low profile Kicker for a SoundQubed HDS310-D2 10" sub. Very happy with the product but some of the setting are too nested to get to quickly. Easily overcome by adding them to the "starred" list so they're much more convenient to access.

Great Product

I purchased this to replace the factory head unit in my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It only took minor trimming of the rear frame to make it fit like a glove. It would be nice to have a few more background choices for the screen but visibility in any light is good.

Great Value

Put the Stereo in my new truck as it came with absolute base stereo. I love the new pioneer as it has a nice display and a fast reacting touch screen that quickly allows you to run through all your music, contacts, etc. The Bluetooth works great and allows you to easily utilize all of the voice activated features on your phone like email, calendar and text. I would definitely recommend this stereo.

Awesome Stereo

I had the cheap factory radio in my new 2014 Ram pickup and this is definitely an upgrade. Great touch screen interface that responds fast and brings up all the information from my iPhone for contacts, music, Pandora, etc. Setup is easy and the display is infinitely customizable. Works great for Bluetooth voice commands with my iPhone. I looked at several different models before I purchased the 2700 and I am very happy with my decision.

Great car stereo

I always buy Pioneer because of it's quality,performance,and design
Thank a100% Recommended

Great radio!!

For the price this radio has awesome features. I would definitely recommend it.

Great product

This headunit provides great music quality and a ton of features. Took me about 2 hours to get the sound I was looking for with all the settings this thing offers. This unit also works really well with Amazon prime music which was a bonus as it was not mentioned in description. Would def reccommended.

Terrific!

I just received this in the mail today and within 2 hours it was completely installed. I have a 2007 Nissan X-Terra and it fit seamlessly. I was choosing between this and another stereo but I'm extremely glad I chose this one. The touch display reaction time is a little slow but not bad at all. Having trouble watching a DVD when I'm parked and not moving but I'm trouble shooting that now. Overall, very thrilled with this!

Excellent Radio

I have really liked this radio so far. Very impressed overall with all functions. I had some overall trouble getting to some of the functions, but this is also my first "fancier" radio. I was able (with a friend's help) to install and actually get everything working.

Great deal!

Nice headunit! Connects to my iPhone 5. Pandora and GPS plays thru my stereo.

Fantastic inexpensive in-dash

Probably my favorite radio so far. This is my first in-dash DVD unit, but I have been a long time user of high end single-DIN radios. This new Pioneer interfaces seamlessly with my iPhone 6 and just works great. It has a fantastic EQ and crossover setup and sounds great in my truck. Plus, the customizable control colors can be adjusted to match your dash perfectly.

Only complaint is that most of the controls on the left side are perfectly smooth and there is no way to tell what button you are pressing without looking at it. It would be nice to have some kind of bump or something so you could adjust the volume (for example) without having to watch where you are pushing.

I have only owned it for a month, so I can't comment on long term reliability, but no issues so far.

Great Product

The installation, set-up, and operation of this unit was straight forward and easily completed. The recommended installation kit was spot on and the installation in my Silverado was a 2 hour project. The expandability of this unit makes it easy to upgrade features with ease.

Great receiver

I enjoy it every time I drive. Bluetooth is excellent and phone works great (iPhone5)

Awesome unit for a good price!

As a DIY audio enthusiast this unit was easy to work with. The unit also has many useful functionalities such as a customizable equalizer, customizable background picture of your choice, etc. I would highly recommend this head unit for any future upgrades to your vehicle audio system.

Pioneer AVH-X2700BS

2 DIN DVD w/ Bluetooth. 2007 Toyota Highlander.
Replaced 2500 deck that was stolen.
New deck is much better. Good UI, listening space adjustment, dimming control, auto backup camera switching.
Would buy again.
Sonic included wiring adapter and mounting adapter for free.

I must have got a bad one

Power comes on and off while I am driving. It resets itself. It play pandora on bluetooth when it should be playing on its own setting. Sending it back. Lets see what happens.

pioneer avhx2700bs is awesome

I got this unit after careful research and i love it. The sound is good. The features are great and my whole family finds it easy to use. The only complaint is that you really cant mirror your cell phone to the screen.

Great Unit

Bought this for my RV. like it so much I want one for my truck.

Great Value

Great product. Easy to install. Exactly what I wanted. Would recommend this to anyone

Great stereo, great price

Was looking for nice affordable head unit to replace my factory radio, and this Pioneer fit the bill, not a lot of bells and whistles but have features that are essential such as amp outputs, Bluetooth, USB for iPod, etc. Sonic even included the install kit which is a plus for you do it yourselfers...definitely recommend this product

amazing quality components here

I bought these to replace a set off hifonics atlas components in my front doors. I'm pushing about 80 rms them and they sound wonderful, not to minion how loud they get snd remain clear. Worth every pennir

Pioneer

I bought this for my wife truck and she loves it... So I'm happy... Lol

Amazing product!

Amazing and easy to use head unit! Awesome touchscreen feature with tons of functions including amazing sound control(ie crossovers, visual EQ, backgrounds, Bluetooth, Pandora, etc etc). Best deck I've ever owned at an amazing price! Couldn't find a better price than Sonic Electronix, need not to mention the awesome free install gear they threw in. Can't beat it!

Just one tiny con: took me a few days to figure out how to completely turn off the unit. *Hit the center silver button, tap "AV", then tap "OFF"*

Awesome product!!

Perfect features, easy installation, amazing sound, this is by far the best head unit I've ever owned. Great value for the money also.

Great radio

I have owned many different radios in the past and this one is by far my favorite. Extremely fair price for the quality and features. Sounds great and user friendly! Installation was easy. Sonic electronix got me my package very fast and always have the best prices.

Overall nice.

Like how it has extensive crossover adjustments, multiple sound adjustments and eq. Hate it doesn't have a volume knob. Thought the graphics moved with the music but is just a picture. Overall, a nice unit.

Great deal!!!

How ever you look at it it's a great buy. Very easy to install, easy to use once you get used to it. Definitely something I would recommend buying.

Mostly Good

Touch interface can be a bit laggy.

"Mode" button does nothing the majority of the time, which makes it a waste.

BT call and Siri quality is quite poor.

AM Radio reception is problematic. *Possibly/likely due to the Metra adapter.*

Mech-less unit at a similar pricepoint would be nice.

Nice Headunit

Got this after my kenwood headunit started messing up and I must say, this is a nice improvement. The crossover features are definitely a plus. Only half way complaint is I wish that the crossovers had a bigger range for people running active that way they could cross their tweeters.

By matthew on July 17, 2015 Verified purchase

Pretty good stereo

I don't have any complaints whatsoever with this unit other than it's lack of volume knob. One of those things you never think you'd miss until you get in to start the truck early one morning and your music comes on blaring and you have to wait like 8 whole seconds for the slow responding volume buttons to get it down to a reasonable level.

Couldn't be happier

I couldn't be more happier. The radio works fantastic, the screen is bright with no glare, and the adjustability from the eq, phase control, input sensitivity adjustment, and my favorite time alignment via tape measure or my prefered method... the plug in mic. It brought my music alive with none of the infamous "I hear the left speaker over the right one" or vice verse. Not to mention for the price and it came with a free kit and harness. Yeah, its a must have for people on a budget and want a nice tv radio with great features.

Maybe it was a fluke.

Bought this unit earlier this year (Feb) and had to return it 6 months later due to a defect where the unit would shut itself off and turn on by itself. The return process was a bit of a pain due to the wait time (I live way out in the pacific). Overall the use and features of the unit is great however the quality, at least for me, is now questionable. So far the new unit is functioning fine but only time will tell, I only have 6 months left on the warranty.

Great double din for the $

I bought this because it wasn't too expensive but it still did everything I wanted my head unit to do, a month after it has been installed in my 2003 mustang cobra, it has been doing its job well, besides being very dim in the day time, this head unit is great for tuning bass and all your speakers to exactly how you want it, I would buy this head unit again for another car if I had one, it is 5 stars

Satisfied with the purchase!

The features were completely what I needed. Pioneer is by far one of my favorite Head Unit companies. Highly recommend this unit for anyone looking to upgrade.

False advertising by Pioneer.

First, the pandora app works, but with my Android (Galaxy S5) the audio completely cuts out for 1-2 seconds randomly and often enough, probably 6-7 times per song. Secondly, there are zero compatible apps for the appradio app. I bought this unit to run the GPS from my phone on the headunit. That simply does NOT work with appradio. It also says it supports mirrorlink with my phone. It does not. At all. From what I have seen on the forums is that mirrorlink only actually works on sony phones even though Pioneer claims it works with Samsungs as well. So, I bought an iPhone 5s. Now, the bluetooth pandora function will play for a few minutes, then disconnect. Plays again after 10-15 seconds and disconnects after a few minutes again. Constantly. There is one compatible app for appradio (that is one more than Android) It was enough to almost make the radio worth it, but it kept freezing and was completely unusable. Almost caused me to get into an accident because it froze in the middle of Navigation. I do NOT recommend this product unless all you want is a DVD/CD player. It does NOT play nicely with smartphones. Returned.

awesome product & fantastic customer service

I purchased this radio 3 months ago. In its price range you can't beat the features and function this head unit provides. For audiophiles like myself that are on a budget and want to build a good sounding system shouldn't pass up this deal. The unit provides all the crossover points and octave scale to tunes your system and a 13 band eq to fine tune your set up. This is all done actively instead of using the passive crossovers with components or on board of the amp. On the customer service side for SE. they are the greatest. I live in SC and we recently got hit with some severe weather that dropped tons of rain for 2 weeks straight. My head unit along with other electronics took in moisture and stopped working or started acting funny. SE didn't give me any hassle. Told me I was covered under warranty and for me to ship just my core unit and they will swap it out for a new one. Under warranty or not I never, other than with SE, didn't accumulate some hassle about the product or a run around about purchase dates and having receipts.

A lot of features for a reasonable price

I bought this unit to replace a factory Bose unit in an Acura. I mostly bought it for the Bluetooth and back-up camera features, plus the mirror-link option. I have not used the mirror-link, but the Bluetooth and back-up camera work great.

By Daniel on September 28, 2015 Verified purchase

$100 cheaper than nearest price

I was gonna buy this camera local in my town. They showed me the most popular camera. I googled the name and model # and beat their price by $100. Same brand and same camera. Plus fast shipping. I installed this camera on rear of my pickup and am soo happy with it. No more checking the hitch to try get my truck nose further in parking spot. Very happy with this bargain. Will def buy again for front view camera in near future

Awesome

I am very happy with this radio I use the bluetooth and CD most but all works great. The graphic eq works perfect I am not using the radio to power the speakers. I am using a pioneer 6604 amp and a hifonic hi 1000. Speakers are jl trx 6x9 Polk db6501 and kicker comp r 12 ported and its all I can handle!
There are more options on this radio than stated. Look up the extended list.

Good product!!

Great product

My disappointment

The radio freezes up. The remote is basically useless can't go thru the menu screen with it. The Bluetooth always skips and just stop and starts for no reason. But the crossover and eq are good

Awesome!

I love this radio! Quickest connecting bluetooth I have seen, great eq, drives my components very well! The free apps are neat and the navigation works very well. Lots of screen customization and button color customization. Would absolutely buy again. And I only buy from Sonic!

Nice!!!

Bought it sonic a few months ago and decided to do a review. There is less screen glare compared to previous years models. 13 band equalizer for the price is fantastic. More features for less money . The bluetooth isn't stable with my galaxy S4 after about 8 feet. The remote has to be directly in front of the receiver to use it which sucks. The sound is great, video is better than average. The unit is a little slow to boot up and stalls if you have music and video files on the same flash drive. If you are familiar with older pioneer units, the favorites icon was on the main screen, not this one. Overall I recommend this because of the sound quality and features despite a few drawbacks.

Awesome Radio

Cant complaint about anything pertaining to this radio. even supports my door speakers at 2ohms without a problem.

By Mark on October 16, 2015 Verified purchase

Decent

I'm not exactly too sure on what to think of the product. Bought it in early July and took it to a professional for installation. The sound it was able to produce was great. Overall the radio worked great. I own an iPhone 6 and hooks up pretty well for the most part. bluetooth worked great on it. Only thing that bothered me was not being able to get the app radio working. i'm not exactly sure why it doesn't work but i'm gonna guess its because my phones iOS exceeded the radios software. I think the radio was suppose to be for iOS 8 or 7 and i have iOS 9. Another little thing was the inability of being able to turn down/up the volume quickly. This radio doesn't come with a volume knob so it can get annoying at times. Apart from that, there was one more thing about the radio that bothered me. about 4-5 months later, the radio began to act funny. Not sure if the cold weather had anything to do with it. The buttons would light up but the screen would not turn on until several minutes later. As time went on the radio got even worse to the point where it would not turn on. Very frustrating as seeing as i hadn't even owned it half a year. Thankfully sonicelectronix offers 1 year of warrant on the product so i sent it back and am currently waiting on the new one. If you're thinking of buying a pioneer radio, I guess i would recommend it, but probably buy warranty with it and see what iPhones or what iOS the radio supports first before buying the radio if you have an iPhone such as myself.

Great Value

This is a excellent product. My wife loves it and it looks great in her caddy. The only problem is not being able to use the mirror linking feature. The product description never mentions you need special cables or only certain android phones to use this feature. So we now have to spend more money. on a compatible phone to use the mirror linking feature. Than what we paid for the radio. Other than that she recommends this radio to others.

good product , great value !

love this camera !! easy to install , pretty much plug and play with my alpine head unit .. love shopping from sonic !! fast shipping ..

Awesome

There is one thing most people don't know and isn't said in the product info. You can use the radio to split bass/ midst/highs to run the system active and cut out the crossovers. The crossover points and slopes are adjustable also. I thought the audio nuts needed to know this. And this is activated upon startup, select network and then after you are done adjust everything out. It is output in speaker level and rca. Frt =highs rear=mids and sub output rca.

So far so good

I wanted a touchscreen deck but didn't really care about Navigation, main thing was bluetooth audio. After comparing to a couple others in this price range I decided on this mainly just because I trust the Pioneer brand. All in all very happy with this product especially for the price! Only had it for 30 days so cant speak for long term but SO FAR SO GOOD

Pioneer cd dvd bt unit

All I could ask for our of a head unit. Hp filter for interiors. 4volt output. Dvd ready. Bt ready. Pandora ready. Great unit

Great head unit

This head unit has tons of options (maybe too many) great sound and looks! The app features are kinda difficult to set up and get to work the way I think they are designed to work but nice product overall

Very Satisfied Customer

I ordered this product for my 16 yr old son, a very picky son at that. He said this was an amazing system. The touch screen is great and the color changing design makes it that much better. The chevy cruze is not the best car to install in due to it costing more for the correct harness. Besides that it looks and sounds great.

Awesome Unit.. Very Pleased

This is a very nice head unit.. Took only about two hours including wiring to install.. Love they offered Sirius with this.. Only down fall if you have to buy the Sirius package for 3 months (after the 3 free months) before you get any rebate. Should've read fine print. But no complaints for the unit or Sonic's staff. Especially Milton!! He helped me out so much with purchasing, to returning, then purchasing more. I actually just placed another order for another Subwoofer and Amp..

9 months of enjoyment

headunit is great. the buttons are easy to push, the touchscreen actually works as it should.

9 months into ownership, the USB no longer plays music. instead it just plays static to the beat of the song being played. it will still charge, but no music.

changed usb cable and device, still nothing.

all other parts of the unit work great!

sadly, i cant charge with the USB from the headunit while having a headphone jack in. it keeps trying to connect to headunit and playing the static.

Grest product

Good value, plenty of features for the price. My son was thrilled with the sound quality and power with his factory speakers.

Happy Christmas gift

Excellent product, worked as expected. Easy replacement for OEM. Great tech support from vendor.

GREAT PRODUCT!

This is was my son's Christmas present. And he was absolutely in love with it. He installed day after Christmas and I have to say the sound quality is AWESOME! It made such a difference. I will be ordering the subs, app and rest of system from Sonic Electronix in March for his 16th birthday so that his system will be complete. Price was amazing also!!!

Great stereo

I really love this stereo as it had all the features I was looking for at a great price; USB, Bluetooth, camera input, auxiliary input, touch screen, 4 volt preamp outputs, network and standard mode for the 3 sets of preamp outputs. However I was surprised that the unit could not be powered down totally causing my amps and accessories connected to the remote output to always be on while the vehicle is on. Also i experience ever so often the unit would not power on or take a long time to power on from a blank screen. Otherwise from that I am extremely happy with this unit. Looking forward to upgrading because of these 2 cons.

Great value pack

Easy to install, works and sounds great, Love this stereo!!

It's ok

I like the sound quality and the color options of the stereo but it needs some improvement with touchscreen accuracy, I push the option... I wait... I push again and I have 20 $ Bluetooth headphones that connect to my phone faster than this and I'd like to change the display pic now and then, not many display options

Was good, now junk

*WARNING* Look up reviews on other websites (especially Amazon) Others will say the same description to what we have started to witness about a month after our manufacturer warranty went away. Ours now randomly turns off (sometimes the screen, sometimes audio, sometimes buttons or sometimes all of it). Firmware updates and any other attempts to fix it ourselves doesn't do anything, seems to be an internal problem. All the features were awesome and functioned perfectly before hand, now just sadly filling in the radio cavity until we get a different one.

Great purchase!!!

I bought this product a couple months back. it's great, easy to navigate and understand. But a month ago it stopped working like it should. I had to send it back for a repair or replacement. I paid for shipping, the process is long but assistance is there. They got back to me sooner than expected. And I am now waiting for replacement. :) I am a returning costumer, really recommend this website.

Screen is dead 50% of the time

Well spending almost $300 plus all the special wiring harnesses needed you would thing the thing would work for at least a year. Bought it in April/2015 and worked great and well now the whole thing is black like its dead, or the buttons on the left side come on and the screen is black, or the date and hour time is missing. No clue why...
The MODE button hasn't worked since day one.....wasn't happy about that but meh whatever can still work around it. But can't work around a dead screen.

Hoping I can rerun this and get something that wont be like this

I like it

I would recommend this product,as a matter of fact I'm going to buy another one. I was looking for the same features as my other pioneer head unit that's why I brought it. Overall it's amazing!

Very Good!

This camera is way better quality than my last one. Excellent picture hooked up to a Magellan 1700 GPS. The grid lines are always a plus. The wide angle on this is much better than my last camera as well. Looks pretty good at night too. I would recommend this camera as it's also medal frame instead of plastic. Definitely worth the money!

Great Buy

I bought this for my older truck that needed a radio upgrade, and this radio is a great buy for anyone looking for a new one. Everything was easy to install and works perfectly for the price.

Sounds great

Sounds great with my Polk dB 6.5s with sound stream amp, much better detail can be heard than with the factory HU made by clarion also looks good in my 15 wrx, matched the red lighting nicely. To get hd radio you will need to upgrade to the next model but if you don't listen to fm radio then it's not worth the extra 30 buck. I love that I can scroll through my phones music using the touch screen. Other reviewers have complained about not having a volume knob but it think it looks cleaner without and you have a remote for basic controls, could use more background themes but who cares when everything else about it is so great. Lots of options, love it
