Pioneer killed the game [Posted on 2008-08-30] This is my first time writing a review on Amazon. I don't normally do reviews, but after three days (and one call to customer support) of trying to configure this thing I must say that it is an absolute blast to play in my car. I have a system composed of a Rockford Amp and Sony XPlod speakers. I am a mid level car audio enthusiast. After figuring out how to correctly ground the head unit (isolated ground is a must!) set the loudness, source level gain, equalizer, subwoofer crossover, subwoofer center frequency, pre-out setting, as well as the center frequencies and gain for all of my other speakers...I was blown away with how good this head unit sounded when properly tuned. There is absolutely NO distortion in ANY of the speakers all the way up to the max "62" volume level setting (I have aftermarket speakers). The only complaint that I have is that burned cds don't have as high of audio quality on this system. It makes me want to go out and purchase my favorite burned cds just to see how they would sound on this monstrous system. I believe with this newest generation Pioneer is definitely giving Alpine a run for it's money. All of these features in a $100 head unit was unimaginable just a couple of years ago, but now it's all here.
Other head units I have owned are Alpine, Clarion, Panasonic.
I would say that the Alpine comes closest, but is it really worth the extra money? no.
The menu settings can be a little tricky as people here have noted, but its easy to learn. Plus the sound quality justifies the complex menu system.
GREAT SYSTEM AND EASY TO OPERATE [Posted on 2008-10-14] THIS IS TRULY A GREAT STEREO, PLAYS ALL MY CDS VERY WELL ANY TYPE OF MEDIA, NAVIGATION IS GREAT AND I REALLY LOVE THE AUX INPUT ON THE FRONT FOR MY MP3 AND XM, NO MORE FM TUNER STUFF THATS ALWAYS DISTORTED, HAVE HAD THIS SCINCE MAY 2008 AND SIMPLY LOVE IT, ANYONE WITH A LIL PIECE OF MIND AND A LIL ELECTRONICS EXPERIANCE CAN EASILY FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE FULL FEATURES OF THIS STEREO, WOULD VERY MUCH RECOMEND, ESPECIALY FOR THE MONEY
Worth the money [Posted on 2008-11-02] I purchased this item for my 17 y/o son's car and this system is great. I also have a pioneer system in my car and thats what prompted me to purchase this one for him. The remote control is large enough to fit the hand and easily learned. Great System. Im no longer is kuwait I am back in the Us, Thank God!!
Not simple to operate [Posted on 2008-11-12] I bought this head unit to go in a Honda Accord. Ive been happy with the sound output, and the FM sensitivity, Pioneers are known for. However, it seems you need an MIT degree, to figure out the operation of the unit. I have yet to figure out how to preset my favorite stations. I have owned over half a dozen various units in the past, including pioneers, and this one will take alot of button pushin before I figure it out. The manual is not much help. Pioneer needs to go back to the KISS principle!
Very good unit [Posted on 2008-11-18] I just installed this unit in my Jeep last week and it works great. I use it mainly for XM radio, so the fact that it doesn't have conventional preset buttons doesn't bother me, but it is a very odd feature of the receiver. The multi-control is good once you get used to it but I can see how some people may have a hard time with that. Last, the in-face aux jack is great -- gives it nearly unlimited versatility. It's not the best, but it's a very good unit for the money.
