Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS

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 .

Excellent Stero

Love the unit. Phone feature is excellent, blue tooth works without flaw, lots of adjustments for sound and lots of power.

best unit for the price

As always pioneer has always been a good unit and brand that i have ever owned. i love the bluetooth feature and pandora music

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.

awesome!

2nd pioneer deck and this one is amazing...great response time and sound!
