GREAT

LOVE THE LOOK AND PERFORMANCE.WOULD RECOMEND TO OTHERS RIGHT AWAY.

By RAFAEL on May 7, 2014

Highly recommend

April 2014. A recent purchase to upgrade a 20 year old outdated stereo in an old muscle car. The Pioneer head unit fit perfect along with a Rockford-Fosgate R400-4D amp. Great features like bluetooth, CD, and smartphone capability. User interface easy to navigate...that's why I chose this unit rather than a Kenwood stereo. Everything I read had the Kenwoods difficult to use. This Pioneer is really easy to get around. The custom color optimization is a great addition. What else sets this unit apart is the built in equalizer. It really customizes the sound to match your surroundings. Preout max level out is a hefty 4 volts, too. I highly recommend the Pioneer DEH-X8600BS stereo head unit.

good radio for the price.

For the price, it has everything a good sounding radio needs and none of the extra bells and whistles it doesn't. I would buy it again if I needed to.

Exceptional value

If all you care about is 3 sets of hi volt pre outs, durability, and aren't concerned about meaningless graphic shows on a display, this head unit is hard to beat for the money. RMS pre out voltage is actually closer to 5 volts, aftermarket steering wheel adapters hook up effortlessly, no motorized face plate to fail, the bluetooth feature couldn't be more user friendly, and it keeps things simple. Also, the look of it is classic Pioneer.

Great features and simple to use!

This is a very easy unit to operate and the features were just what I needed without a bunch of flashy crap and complicated menus.

Great value

This stereo has a lot of bang for your buck. The audio quality over Bluetooth is great. The call quality is very good as well, the stereo is installed in a diesel truck and even over the engine sound people can still hear me just fine. Sound quality through the USB and Auxiliary input are great as well. My only complaint is that the tuner is kind of weak, the factory radio picked up stations much better. This is only a minor complaint though, I've barely used the tuner at all, I have been streaming music over Bluetooth about 95% of the time I have owned it.

Amazing product.

You can't go wrong with this deck for the price. I have never had a problem with any pioneer deck I've owned. The Bluetooth works flawless on this haven't had a problem and the Mixtrax integration is pretty neat as well. Would recommend it to anyone.
