Pioneer DEH-P6200BT

sweet deck

This is my second pioneer deck and i love it even more than my first one. Easy to use and the bluetooth and ipod features are very nice. The deck lets u choose songs directly off the ipod instead of selecting them using the stereo controls which is also very nice. My shift knob gets in the way of the volume a bit but other than that i was extremely satisfied when i installed this deck.

Another great pioneer

Bought a DEH-P710BT three months ago. What an awesome unit but I paid $275 for that unit. Then I found a red lighted unit DEH-6200BT and traded my blue lighted 710BT for it. Sound quality is exactly the same, excellent. There are not as many functions or features on this 6200BT unit but the ease of use, sound quality, and low price make this unit a real winner. Pioneer has yet again hit the mark and beyond with there receivers. Don't hesitate on buying this brand unit, just be sure you pick the model with the features you crave as they have dozens of new models at all price ranges. P.S. Pioneer has a new updated wiring plug so if trading up from a model a year old you'll have to re-do your wiring. Caught me by surprise as I've used the same plug through a half dozen pioneer receivers.

After all pioneer was best

I had a huge conflict choosing a single DIN head-unit for a long while, it was a dispute Between sony , JVC and Pioneer. While sony offered a bit more of power into the speakers (17w vs. 14w at >1% THD) I've chosen this one for it's color scheme and it's screen, since both played iPod, and had built-in Bluetooth so they were more or less a fair competence, this one went better with the OEM interior ligthing of my car. While JVC offered a lot more of power than this h/u, I opted for this one since it looked a lot less "attractive to thieves" than the JVC, I'm not saying this unit is ugly, I'm just saying it looks less "potentially steal-able" than this other JVC as it matched better the OEM color of my car. The bass on this thing is simply perfect, it made my car from sounding really choppy, to a full hi-fi experience, using Kicker speakers, It's sound is really better compared to the OEM system. I will recommend this Unit to anyone who asks me for help choosing a system, It's relatively cheap, It sounds nice, has plenty of features. This HU defines "Bang for the buck" seriously!

Nice Deck

This stereo is a great deal, it is feature packed and has bluetooth, what a great deal, you are getting a great deal and you can never go wrong with pioneer. Pioneer is my #1 choice when it comes to car stereo's. Thank you Sonic. I would reccommened.

Great value, works and looks clean

This is a very good unit, easily installed and a crisp clean appearance. For the money it was a great choice, bluetooth calls are clear and reliable with my droid, plus the USB allows me to charge the phone without an additional plug...

Great features and sound at a great price

I was torn between this deck and the Premier DEH-610BT. I went with this one because it is newer and basically supports more ipods. The only difference other than that is an ipod cable, faceplate case and remote.

Pros: The deck has many features for the sound, 3 loudness settings, a bass booster, EQ settings and more, I am still reading the manual. Also this deck automatically boost the audio quality of your mp3's that was lost during encoding and has many ways to change the tone of your sound output. The manual is very small and hard to read in dim light. You can however download a pdf version of the manual.
The phone aspect seems to work really well and this feature is very nice to have in your car.

Cons: I was surprised to not find a faceplate case, how am I suppose to protect my beautiful faceplate?

Very poor.

I would not recommend this unit for several reasons:
1. AM reception is very weak.
2. The microphone that comes with it for use with a cell phone is really bad.
3. The face plate is horrible and does not encourage intuitive navigation.
4. Processor does not allow alpha-numeric sorting of audio folders and files and often capriciously changes play sequence. This is very bad for audio books.
