first time replacing a stereo head unit

The wiring harness was intimidating to see not know anything about them. Thanks all you You Tubers that provided general insturction. There is no spcific insturction for my combination of vechiel and new head unit. I set up the harness to be connected and got to work. After about an hour of carful sodering, heat shrinking and zip tying, I had a one inch think twelve inch long harness that needed to be plugged in. I had to add a steering wheel control harness, voltage converter harness, and bluetooth mic, usb and aux out plugs.. I am very, very pleased with the installation and the operation of the new stereo unit. I stream pandora every day, my kids have created thumb drives with their own music and my wife can now play her CDs from the 80. (some are mine). not sure if this is apporpriate to mention here but the park brake bypass works great, (no, not a relay).

the best head unit

I have to say this is my best car stereo unit i ever own. All the feature work on this deck. Usually when i buy other car stereo brand. There's always problem. like volume knob goes out, or memory keep losing setting. I'm glad i bought pioneer and i wish i would of went with them from the start. This head unit is SEXY.

The only con i have to say about this deck is the video quality is ok when watching movies. I was hoping the picture was HD but it ok. The high quality sound, features and look of the stereo make up for it.

Love the radio

Pioneer makes a great system. I really like all the features this deck has. The only thing I would like to see improved is the microphone clarity for making and receiving calls.

Nice price for the product

This deck is very nice and user friendly with some really nice features. It installs neatly with not a whole lot of wires from the rear like some other decks have the camera feature is nice and so is the app mode. I use motion x GPS with mine how ever when the navigation screen is mirroring your phone you only have volume up and down you can't switch tracks that's is a big flaw but other then that it's a nice product.

very nice unit

I installed this deck myself , it wasnt too hard with the wire harness that came with it for my truck. I had problems figuring out the back up camera i was plugging it into the " video in" slot in the back of the head unit , turns out it goes in the r/c in " slot. Hope that info helps someone out there.
I am extremly happy with this deck . I am still waiting for sonic's tech deptartment to call me back ( 3 weeks later) gotta work on that one sonic. But all in all great products .

great unit

This is a great unit. Streams bluetooth audio (Spotify) and pandora from my android. Still waiting on my 32GB flash drive to keep in all the time. The unit itself sounds great in my f150 supercrew.

Couldnt get to my parking brake wire, so i just put it on a toggle switch connected to ground. I wasnt going to connect it to anything because I don't care about viewing video while driving, but it opens up more options for bluetooth and more importantly the dimmer. When your headlights are on it dims it far too much and you cant adjust picture settings unless its in 'park' mode.

Best head unit

This Pioneer head unit is the best I have ever had. I previously had a single din Pioneer head unit and it was great also, but with all the features and adjustments that can be made with this unit makes this unit great.

Great Head Unit

I ordered my Pioneer head unit on a Saturday night, and received it on a Wednesday the following week. This Pioneer system is awesome! It makes the whole stereo sound way better than what it was. I would definitely recommend this product. Lots of cool things to do on here and very easy to navigate

Great Bang for the Buck

This head unit has been my best investment in car audio. The display is well sized and clear. The controls are easy to use, as well as the remote (a life-saver at times). I love that I can connect via Bluetooth with it to my iPhone to make/take calls and etc. as well as stream Pandora through it (haven't figured out the on-board version yet). Far and away worth the investment - it rocks hard.

Great Pioneer Product!

Another great head unit from Pioneer. I bought the HU bc I needed a dvd player, BT, Pandora, and the ability for ANDROID hook up. Everything is great except Android user interface is not working. I bought the required accessories for Droid interface and it does nothing but charge my phone. It could be operator error! Overall it is a great product and I would suggest it.

Great Radio head replacement.

Replaced the radio head in my 2013 FJ. Great features and sound. The only gripe I have with most manufactures is that these systems are not android compatible with AP radios. You can Bluetooth steam music with Pandora, and that's about it. I am not going to buy the I phone and the 80.00 cables to make the apps work. When will they realize that there are far more android users out there than I phone users. The only other option was another Pioneer radio head that is $225.00 more, but even then, by the time you add the 80.00 cable, the apps are very limited. Wasn't worth messing with.

Great buy for my STi

I installed this deck in my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi and I love it. The deck sits so flush with my dash and looks great. Source switching is a breeze and iPod control is great. The customization of background/illumination is user friendly. I think the user interface on this deck is one of the best I've seen as far as looks. I have no complaints on this deck.

Pros: great price, high quality, detailed EQ, great looks.
Cons: none.

Great unit, good price

This stereo is well worth the money. Tons of features that are easy to use, the menus are easy to navigate, with a wide range of sound tailoring available between the great eq, bass enhancer, loudness, and high/low pass filters. Audio and overall quality are very good. My only complaint is that the screen gets easily washed out by the sun while I'm driving, but this won't happen in all vehicles.
