So good I got two

I run one of these in both vehicles. Everything works flawlessly. Couple road trips from jersey to Indiana and the traffic part worked perfect. Pretty neat how it reroutes you on the fly before you even know there’s an accident or bottleneck.

Pioneer AVIC-U280

Please pay attention. This review is about the company. I received the Pioneer AVIC-U280 but decided really couldn't afford it. The time shipped was great. The product looked well put together and I liked all the features but. it just wasn't an option for me at this time. The reason 'm writing is because when I contacted Sonic Electronics everything came up smelling like roses. They were nice and prompt and listened. When I was done they said that it was not a problem and refunded the full price. If I need electronics in the future you can bet I will check out this company first.

Good piece

Excluding a tiny bug that I ran into (which fixed itself after I restarted the vehicle) the GPS function is amazing tons of setting options no more bulky go a on the windshield it's a lot more convenient to use of definitely recommend this product, not to mention it's not to difficult to install yourself if you even have the most minimal training in electrical work.

Navigation

Product was super easy to install. Plug and play. I am using with pioneer 7800. Takes a bit to get used to but I like the interface now that I understand how to use it. Pretty expensive part on top of an expensive stereo though. That is why I gave lower value score.

Great product

Pros : I installed this GPS with a AVH-4000 NEX in GS300 Lexus and is loving it better than the factory nav in my new GSF 350, it works better than i expected. Cons : can't say anything bad about it.
