Seriously, who needs a dvd player in their dash? All you need is a good unit that plays your music, and this one plays it all. It will handle all the standard CD, CDR, mp3, WMA, AAC files along with iPod. The iPod controls are excellent. iPod is the only mp3 player I have tried and I suspect others won't work, at least not well. I was ...

Thanks for the detailed review. I was on the fence between this an a Kenwood deck, after watching this I have no doubts about which one I'm going to purchase.
I upgraded my headunit to a Pioneer AVIC u310BT. I miss this deck. It had a much better build quality and I hate touchscreen for driving. This deck was better! And if I want to show off how big my screen is just come into my living room :p
lots of glare from that shiny screen but it was much better than my new deck, the AVIC U310 LCD is horrible in sunlight. with this one as long as you dont have a sunroof open it is pretty good.
Did you know this headunit will play WAV files from a USB thumbdrive? You aren't really getting the best sound using the ipod with compressed files. The thumbdrive with lossless WAV files will sound much cleaner and more detailed.
@ytj22 i have no idea! and i can agree with you about the wav files. Just never try it. I hate ipods but once you use a usb drive...half the songs dont work on these deck. Unfortunately todays in car headunits are tailored for ipods and lack support for anything else.
Thanks for making this video review. I'm in the market for this or the Kenwood and I was mostly worried about the ipod controllability since traditionally, these decks don't seem to let you use the ipod for control when connected digitally.
I'm still kind of torn between this and the Kenwood DPX503 (more fun looking display & some pretty awesome sound features but lacking the 3rd preout I need and iffy daytime readability)
Hey, thanks for posting this vid. i decided to buy and install one of these after seeing your videos, which I think points out what the receiver does well and does not do well..
I'm thinking about buying this CD player for my Infiniti. I just have one question. Can you change the lighting to other colors? All my dash lights and buttons are red. Great video too.
there is an option to have control via the ipod if you wish. As for explorer, a friend with a pathfinder also has an explorer and installed a deck like this in his, he didnt seem to have any troubles with it
@bpacheco6 i just bought the same hu for my car i listen to the same kind of music pink floyd metallica ect i have the sony xav-60 whitch is a peice of shit very slow and i have all kinds of noise probleme cuz of the shitty 2volt output use to have a pioneer deh-p5000ub whit 4 volt rca it was perfect so im gonna return to pioneer and 7 band eq ftw
Was the install fairly easy? Thinking about getting one, but is going to be temporarily set up with the stock speakers. I have a 2000 Ford Explorer. Would it fit or would your recommend it? All of the lights on the stock stereo unit have gone out and it would be pretty cool to have a new one with Bluetooth and iPod player built in.
I have this same deck, and I like it.. but setting up new bluetooth devices is confusing as hell. I managed to get my Cowon S9 bluetooth capable media player to sync up with it, but I have no idea how I did it. The menu system seems kind of unintuitive/sloppy when you venture into the bluetooth settings. I've been trying to figure out how to sync up my HTC phone for bluetooth audio (so I can listen to Pandora in the car), and I can't for the life of me figure it out.
thanks for the video. helped me decide on a unit... one question- you mentioned it not working that well with a HD? and recomend using a Ipod instead? what HD did you use? and what was bad about it???
any bluetooth phone is compatible, bluetooth is a standard so its definately a must. Unless you want to listen to music from your phone, then you need the A2DP feature on your phone. I used to have the motorola Q9h, which is pretty much the same spec phone as the newer jack, and more importantly, runs on Windows Mobile, i had version 6.1 at the time and it functioned just fine
That was an excellent review. I'm looking for a double DIN for my 2010 Tundra and I really like this, but I have concerns for the compatability of my Samsung Jack (newest model). Im wondering if there is a list of phones it can pair up with. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
@trucas ...no and why would you when you can do custom work to change all other displays/buttons on the vehicle to blue....LOL it took me weeks but the result was awesome (originally my hvac, gauges, compass, etc was wa dull white and i custom soldered leds etc to get everything blue. then i sold the decvk for the u310bt with nav a month later!)
How do you get your phone to sync automatically? I have a Motorola Krzr and have to manually turn on the bluetooth every time I get in the car which is super inconvenient. I'm hoping that I'm just missing out on something.
There is currently no in car integration for the zune aside from ford sync as far as I know. If there was any deck out there that played zune I'd get rid of my deck and stupid Ipod and get a new zune and whatever deck works with it. I hate how much apple has consumed the market. Only options for zune owners are the horrible GM tuner, aux jack which still needs control from the zune.
Thanks for this vid. I bought this unit after being impressed with it here. I exchanged a Sony double-din unit for this one due to the superior sound quality of Pioneer. However, for some reason the phone bluetooth is having trouble. Others can't understand me when I'm talking. The mic is placed where yours is. Any ideas? I'm using an iPhone 3G that works fine with my bluetooth head set. Thanks!
make sure the mic is aiming directly at you and that the line is either exactly vertical or horizontal. Also if you lean your seat back very far it could be too far for the mic to hear. The mic is very directional, people cant hear the passenger next to me joining into the convo only my voice. It could also be your phone, I had superior sound quality with my Motorola Q9, but when I upgraded to the blackberry storm, people sometimes complain of my voice being too low....it could be phone volume?
Hey im lookin to install a new deck in my 01 pathy. Prob is I have the bose 6disc changer and the radio. The changer is stuck and ate some cd's and the radio is going. I want something big that will take up the room of both of those the cd player and radio. I dont have an ipod, is it worth spending the money to get this system. I have just a normal cheapo mp3 player.
you will have no problems installing this one, my friend has a 01 pathy with a pioneer double din deck. It will solve all your problems with your current deck. You dont need an ipod, you can connect your cheapo mp3 via the aux cable which goes into your headphone jack, OR you can connect it via USB, but you may have issues reading all the songs, or you can just stick to CD's either way its definitely worth the money. especially for the bluetooth functionality with your phone.
Thanks for the vid. Im getting the crappy i ipod touch 32G 3G for xmas, and after checking this wicked deck, im thinking im gonna have to get one of these very soon.
both those are located on the back of the unit for cleanliness, i routed the cables into my glovebox as said and shown in the video. If you can see your ipod or aux cable your more likely to forget them in the vehicle in plain view and get your stuff stolen. At least its not as obvious if their hidden, even though most thieves will know to check in glovebox. it still looks much cleaner than ugly cables everywhere
maybe you should watch the video again.....i was controlling my ipod from the deck, going through artists, albums, playlists......thats the point.If you want to control direct from your ipod you can there is a feature to switch to control from it, but its stupid if you can control it from the deck.
OHHHH!!!!!! I have no knowledge of sony MP3's but I can tell you for sure it wont work unless the mp3 can act as a hard drive. For example I tried my zune and it didnt work with USB, you have to use an aux cable and control it with the mp3 itself. NOW i get what you mean. i hate ipods myself i ended up trying to use a regular external hard drive as an alternative with this deck and it only reads half the songs no matter what I use, you NEED an ipod or else you wont be happy with this deck
Cool stuff, really interested in this head unit to replace my factory no thrills Ford one. What kind of security / anti theft features does it have? Does it have a PIN code? Cheers
there are no security features, the only slightly good feature is that the unit looks like a stock headunit as most theives look for single din or nav screens. when off the unit looks really basic. There is no PIN code
Hey Awesome Video!! I just ordered mine 5 minutes ago.
Yours came with an ipod interface cable? Cause it says its not included in the package. How was the installation of it? U had to get a wire adapter right?
youll love it! ive had mine for 7 months now! only complant is it gets dirty easy and I cant figure out how to get rid of the beep when you change songs, it seems like theres an internal speaker, Ill probably take it apart to get rid of it
the ipod interface cable-there is an included USB extension cable then you just use the cable you use with your ipod to sync to the PC and thats it! by wire adapter you mean the harness to change your factory wiring to that of pioneer then yes lol enjoy!
If I recall from taking a ride in my old man's truck a month or so ago, you might be able to get rid of the internal beep noise.....
Just click in and hold the rotary nob until the menu option comes up and scroll through those options. It might be one of those. if not, sorry for misleading you.
Awesome video man.... I think I'm getting this now!!! I'm a little scared of not having a detachable face. I live in an awesome area, but where I drive, might not be as good of an area... I have an 2004 Avalon, and can't wait to buy this...
yeah i live in a not so great area, its a risk you need to take i guess. But the avalon is an upscale car so this deck, being double DIN could trick the dumber theives into beleiving its the stock deck. when its off its not so flashy and is pretty plain.
dude i moved to miami like a year ago, and 2 days after i moved, i got my shit stolen man! i had 2 15's 2 big amps nice fukin pioneers speakers, and jvc receiver... everything was gone! about $2000 in total... i moved to orlando now and im never going back to miami, i hate it. but I want this pioneer, looks nice!
yeah thanks man! it came with a mic and mic holder, everything you need is included aside from a mounting kit,. even the ipod was plug and play with the supplied USB input cable
id stick to pioneer but just watch out for the USB issues, it might just be my deck or my model. If your going to buy an all in one setup just make sure its all ready to go. all these new systems are *bluetooth ready* *ipod ready* blah blah, its useless because the adapters are so expensive afterwards. As far as phone goes this was the reason I got this HU and its never let me down its phone function is absolutely flawless
nice review, will this thing handle a 1Tbyte external usb drive and if it does is the navigation good enough not to be scrolling for hours to find tracks?
I had a 120GB drive, 4GB drive, memory stick, i tried a ton of USB devices and could never get it to read ALL the tracks. For some reason, mp3, tags, everything done properly...it refuses to read them. I dont like ipods but got one just because it works so good with this deck. if you want to go 1TB get a touchscreen, easier to navigate, and make sure you bring your drive and try it in store as pioneer has issues with non-ipod USB devices lately
Nice one thanks, im using an M-Station at the moment but I want a more integrated system, phone and stuff. Can you recommend a touch screen system to start my search
dbl din looks so cool. cant fit mine! 8(.i got reg cd-mp3 input-smart song tag goodie. happy with it!. noce system and ride. interior looks to be designed well.
yeah the sound adjustments are decent, you can do alot of equalizer adjustments and adjust sub volume as well. Soundwise...its a hell of a lot better than my old jvc deck
7 gum? i gotta try some of that, i usually roll with 5 gum there bud LOL adam...you are a total noob. Remote in that position is stupid. whats the point really. Why reach all the way over there when you can put it right in the cupholder...my arm doesnt evn have to leave the armrest! reaching over there is the same as reaching the HU! LOL just breakin your balls man
WOW nice one adam lmfao thx for the compliments everyone im glad it was an informative video i should have gone more into detail. like how you can DIAL a number on the remote, and the MANY sound settings you can customize
I just got a new-ish car and was checking this deck out. I thought your review was very useful and the only video I've seen that actually shows someone using the interface and how the phone works. Great information and good tips too!

If your going to buy an all in one setup just make sure its all ready to go. all these new systems are *bluetooth ready* *ipod ready* blah blah, its useless because the adapters are so expensive afterwards. As far as phone goes this was the reason I got this HU and its never let me down its phone function is absolutely flawless

nice review, will this thing handle a 1Tbyte external usb drive and if it does is the navigation good enough not to be scrolling for hours to find tracks?

I had a 120GB drive, 4GB drive, memory stick, i tried a ton of USB devices and could never get it to read ALL the tracks. For some reason, mp3, tags, everything done properly...it refuses to read them. I dont like ipods but got one just because it works so good with this deck. if you want to go 1TB get a touchscreen, easier to navigate, and make sure you bring your drive and try it in store as pioneer has issues with non-ipod USB devices lately

the usb is indeed at the back, a long extension cable is supplied though to plug in any usb device/ipod a few feet away from the head unit

Is the USB port in the back? Can you get to it without taking the whole unit out? Thanks.

hey man thanks for the vid i am getting this unit. one question. is it possible to change the display to different shades of blue?

yeah the sound adjustments are decent, you can do alot of equalizer adjustments and adjust sub volume as well. Soundwise...its a hell of a lot better than my old jvc deck

LOL just breakin your balls man

I just got a new-ish car and was checking this deck out. I thought your review was very useful and the only video I've seen that actually shows someone using the interface and how the phone works. Great information and good tips too!
