Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great Head unit with lots of features.

First impression; Great looking GUI, button layout is pretty good, FIts nice and flush with the bezel kit with the lower interface sticking out.

Touch screen is pretty accurate for a in-car system. I've had a few that you had to press once or twice to get what you wanted.

So many Color choices, matched my orange nissan lighting perfectly, you'd think its a OEM instal!

Volume control / EQ software is great and accurate.
( I love the physical button volume controls).

The audio just from this deck brought my paper speakers to life, huge improvement. Held me off a few months before getting new speakers.

The Appradio app can be clumsy and could use some work.

Mirror Link from my HTC One M8 works pretty well, Though the screen fresh time (From when you swipe/drag) is noticeably slow, but you can't expect much more from a USB cable without going USB 3.0 and updating the software a lot.

I LOVE, (and i cant express it enough) the fact that you only need ONE, yes i said ONE cable to connect your phone for mirrorlink / Appradio. No buy our pioneer special cable bull&*# nonsense. USB Male-Female extension is included. You can use your USB cable to operate the device. (NO 40$ cables from pioneer required!) at least in my experience.


I recommend this head unit, lots of bells and whistles for the price. And i am all about price/performance.

Good purchase again, thanks sonic electronics.

Great Radio

This DVD player is great. I love the features and the amount of tuning available is why I always choose Pioneer. Having the old Pioneer Premier 980BT, I was kind of bummed that Pioneer did away with the feature of putting your own personal pictures on as background pics or screensavers. Also, I wish they would update the software so I can use the MirrorLink feature with my Note 4. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great unit that just got better!!!

I ordered the Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS because of the vast variety of features it has. Installing was easy with the Schoshe mount and harness, and the e-brake bypass cable is a must.
Love being able to play video and use apps while the car is in drive.
Perhaps the coolest feature about the Pioneer is the new "Appradio One", which allows you to use only one cable, the USB-lightning for iPhone or USB-USB for android to use appradio mode instead of having to get the insane number of adapters. Available through a free firmware update.
Overall this unit rocks, amazing sound output and a plethora of features.
Sonic Electronix made it extremely easy to get everything together I needed, and I LOVE this pioneer. *highly recommended*

Good

Very good product overall, I like the features and the big screen but do not like how long it takes to connect to Bluetooth syncing the phone features and such

Best deck I have ever installed

I installed this deck for a friend and wow... this deck is incredible. There are so many different ways to make your sound perfect for whatever type of music you listen to. The 4V preouts put out very strong and clean signals. And there is so much customization you can mess around with to make it do what ever you want. It has already exceeded my expectations and i feel like I have only scratched the surface.

pioneer avh-x5700bhs

Great screen for the price. Cool visual and audio customization. Looks amazing in my dodge charger and works well with my galaxy s4. The only downside is it only shows album art via bluetooth using a iPhone or Pandora. If u connect it using usb it shows the album art.

I am still learning the ins and outs of this but it is a great product.

Nice Radio

This is my second pioneer in recent years before this i had the 4400bhs and decided to get this one. I love the new software and when you do the upgrade it adds more functionality to the radio. You cant go wrong with this radio.

Love it, could be more user friendly though

Love it, but they seemed to have forgotten something, like an off button. If it's there, I can't find it, and it isn't in the manual either! The only way I see how is to select AV source and touch off. Why can't they put that on the screen as soon as you touch the source button? Would have liked it more if the song titles and artist names could be displayed on a line longer than 10 characters or whatever. You're forced to sit and wait for the rest of the info to scroll in. Perhaps all RDS systems are like this? LOVE the radio otherwise. Definitely delivers more powerful sound than stock radio in Toyota camry non-jbl radio. My inside door panels rattle, have to lower bass and adjust sound to keep it clean. I also wish the display would tilt towards you (top part towards you), you can only tilt the bottom part out towards you. It could use a dedicated seek + and - Instead of the awful press and hold for a second, also can't get the scan tuning (where it plays each station for 5 seconds and goes to the next one) to work as instructed in the manual. No need for a bypass with this radio, just ground the brake wire, you know, so you can watch this movie without needing to pull the e brake. I expect this to last a while. Even in sub-zero weather, lcd opens and closes strongly. Lcd touch panel needs to be just a bit more sensitive, just a bit...

Great unit. Pioneer has come a long way.

The only negative that I can say about this unit is that it seems to have a hard time staying connected to HD (digital) radio. As a result, the listening experience when using the radio suffers. Every time the unit acquires or loses a digital signal, the sound stutters slightly. It is very noticeable. However, if radio isn't your main concern then this may be the unit for you. Bluetooth sounds great and displays artwork when using Pandora. There are plenty of EQ options and so many settings it may be a little overwhelming for some. In my opinion it's better to have more than not enough.

love it!

I bought the 5700bhs to go into a 2010 Impala. I couldnt be happier with my selection.

Technology

What to say, I have owned my pioneer deck for 6 months now. Mirror link finally started working this last month, useless. Crappy app that uses poor music player, poor navigation app, etc. I do like the pandora radio, however it won't work with mirror link? Also integrated phone won't work with mirrorlink? Who thought of this? Very dangerous ui. Don't I repeat don't buy it for mirror link. The DVD player is nice, the sound quality is good, support is slow and unfocused, for example three year old or older phones work great with this radio, only late model phones, ie. A year or two old aren't supported. Really, don't support new technology only old? Like I said, don't buy it for the gimmicks. Actually buy something else.

Love this deck so far

Have been using this deck for a few days after installing and, and it has been great.

1) Bluetooth audio streaming works great (using Spotify from my Nexus 5 phone)
2) Bluetooth hands free calling works great (receiving and making calls). The voice activated prompts work to make a call, but there are too many. Clarity is good according to the people I have talked to. I mounted the Mic on top of the steering Column.
3) USB and CD player work, and quick enough to load.
4) Radio works, but quality is not great. Not sure if this is a problem with the unit or a problem with the input adapter.
5) Touchscreen is pretty good. Menu's are mostly easy to navigate, but organization can be a bit better. (Save Settings in the middle of the menus, bass boost at the bottom!)
6) Excellent customization for the audio setup. I haven't had time to tune my audio system, but looking forward to that.
7) Steering wheel input controls work perfectly.
8) Reverse camera operation works well. Switch the car into reverse and the screen switches after a second or two.
9) I didn't install the external Navigation Module or Sirius XM, but I assume they would be good as well.
10) I don't know how the internal amp works as I installed an external amp for my speakers.

For reference I installed this into a 2006 Honda Civic Si Coupe.

An O.K. buy...

This deck does everything I want it to do, but it's very slow doing it. After you select something on the screen, there's a 2-4 second delay before it actually does something. I looked for updates but mine says it is the most recent version :/ Im overall happy with it, but will make sure I test head units in real life before I purchase.

Awesome radio

Cool radio, Easy installation, Pioneer always makes a good product and Sonic Electronix makes the best deals!

Great head unit for the money

Unit works great with an awesome eq for that fantastic sound you want.

pioneer Avh-X5700BHS

I love the deck one of the best that pioneer has put on the market

Android compatible

I love the layout of this unit,its easy to access the settings and inputs,but the biggest reason i bought this was because Pioneer rates this head unit as being one of the top units that are compatible with the android smart phones,i made sure my phone was on the list and it was supposed to do allot of what an iphone can do,but it won't. I had a samsung s3 some things worked but not even 20% it was time for a phone upgrade so i got a LG G3,it was more compatible then the s3 but i found out it wasn't a match for mirrorlink which is supposed to wireless connect my phone to the radio and be able do any commands that by smart phone including adding the phone keyboard,both of these phones had android 4.4 and i updated the lg to the new 5.0,no mater what i would try do, it seems the only thing i could do is basic bluetooth stuff i even bought a MHL adaptor because i read some were that a direct connection would allow the head unit to see and do everything the smart phone could do.WRONG.I gave my wife my lg and got her upgrade phone just a couple of weeks ago,which is a Samsung Galaxy note 5 edge,which is supposed to be the latest and greatest,it works better the other phones but there is still allot of stuff it won't do that this radio should do.I think that Pioneer and several other car electronics manufactures are WAYYYYY behind when it comes to android compatibility,thy have focused on iphones and haven't given a dam about android until now ,since android is now way out selling iphone or the windows operation phones,but with me i am going to be looking at something that actually does what it supposed to do,some of the Chinese unit offer so much more and are top notch in quility beside most of the stuff we buy here in the USA are made there anyway.

Great head unit

I have had this head unit for awhile now and it is still working great.

nice but WEAK bluetooth

this head unit does have a lot of features. the EQ is a wider range than others in this price unit making it more user tunable per their own ears. i dont expect HDMI from a unit in this price range but the mirrorlink is completely USELESS. it doesnt work for 95% of phones. they dont update the software. thats one thing pioneer is lousy at, software. my biggest gripe is the bluetooth. modern bluetooth chips reach up to 30 feet. this thing cuts out if you step outside of your door with your phone in your pocket. it also skips when playing via bluetooth. sometimes it doesnt do it for an hour roadtrip, and other times it will do it 4-5 times per minute. it is extremely annoying. i dont know if they are using cheap chinese bluetooth chips or what but it needs to improve. this will be my last pioneer product. i will be switching to kenwood where you can pay $100 more and get HDMI and functional bluetooth.... i would not recommend this to anyone who uses bluetooth streaming. if youre a aux person, this is an excellent option

Great product

Easy to install and works great. Use there install kit and follow instructions.
