Client Critiques

Length:: two:01 Mins
This video shows the simple operation of the unit, given that it really is hard to clarify.
The biggest pro for me is the sound. My stock speakers sounded fine with the factory head unit, but they sound like brand new high end speakers with the Pioneer.
A close second is the feature set. The iPod integration is the most effective that I saw in any unit, and it certain beats the axillary input mod kit that I was running beforehand. The sound from the iPod is amazing. Also preserve in thoughts that it's a USB input, not just an iPod input. Plug in an external tough drive or thumb drive and you happen to be in buisness, also. The addition of the Bluetooth connectivity was a important selling point, and it delivers a great convenience that I would honestly miss now that I'm made use of to it. I can leave my phone out of reach (in the trunk even) and I can nevertheless answer it if it rings.
The greatest con is the user interface- it does take a bit to study the ins and outs, but as soon as you do, pretty handful of occasions is it a bother (the 'pause' choice is buried in the function submenu, which is annoying, but given that the unit automatically pauses the music for incoming / outgoing calls, it is only a trouble in, say, drive thru's).
The pros VASTLY outweigh the cons, and the price tag is far below what I would anticipate for a unit with this function set. That gets this unit a five Star rating - iPod, Bluetooth, CD, HD Satellite Radio ready- there seriously aren't any capabilities left for you to want!
I bought it with the wiring harness and the dash kit for my 2005 Mazda3 and it looks pretty nice. Check out the video!

NOTE: I've owned this stereo while utilizing the iPhone 3G, then iPhone 3GS, then iPhone four. The comments beneath are in chronological order, with subsequent iOS firmware releases.
========iPhone 3G ownership========
I installed this stereo to operate with Sirius, an iPod by way of the USB/iPod connection, miscellaneous items by way of auxiliary input, bluetooth handsfree, and to stream audio by way of bluetooth with my iPhone running 3. firmware.
CDs and iPod audio sounds marvelous on my car's stock speakers. To my surprise, the bluetooth audio connection sounds just as decent. It was particularly easy to pair, when the A2DP bluetooth profile was produced readily available for iPhone three.. Prior to that, pairing with my two completely different phones was straightforward. It would choose up a telephone conversation as soon as one came in, switching away from whatever other input I was listening to, and then switching back to it as soon as the call had ended - very nice. It will also continue a telephone conversation from your phone to the vehicle once you enter the automobile, or when you exit it will continue the conversation to your phone - also particularly nice to not have to wait to exit/enter the auto.
I see what Pioneer was trying to do with the 1-button technique to really feel like an iPod and I can see why some persons were confused, but it did not take incredibly lengthy to get used to. The display is also especially good, with indicators when bluetooth handsfree and bluetooth stereo are connected.
Amazon's price tag was pretty much 20 percent much less when I ordered 4 months ago - it is odd how costs fluctuate.
For sirius users, do not lose the remote control if you plan on storing saved channels! The manual states that you should use the remote manage in order to shop sirius stations. Also the display when listening to sirius radio is odd. You can view 3 lines of text. Line 1 consists of the input, band, and preset number. Line two is the sirius channel number. Line 3 is your selection of artist, song, channel name, genre, etc. The odd part comes when you want to see the time. If you press the time/toggle button, you now have only TWO lines of text - the 1st and third. The middle is gone and the third displays time. Essentially, this implies that you can not view the artist and time at the exact same moment - stupid. I commonly leave the time display enabled, but locate myself toggling when I want to see the name of the artist playing.
========iPhone 3GS ownership========
EDIT: I am at the 11 month period of ownership with this stereo. In that time period, I've since upgraded to the iphone 3GS model, and the stereo nonetheless connects to it with out any trouble. Bluetooth pairing, handsfree telephone use, and audio streaming all work really well. I've noticed that the audio with my stock automobile stereo sounded improved than with this stereo. I am not sure if it's mainly because I need to have to upgrade the speakers as well, but that must be noted.
========iPhone 4 ownership========
EDIT: I've just upgraded to the iPhone four running iOS four.. While it paired with no any difficulties just like my iPhone 3GS had, the A2DP stereo bluetooth profile does not seem to be recognized. I am at present listening to music off my iPhone employing the USB connection, but hope to get the A2DP wireless bluetooth profile working with some fiddling.
EDIT: You can stop driving your self crazy trying to get this stereo to work with your iPhone 4. There is a deeply documented problem with Bluetooth on the iPhone four. I can not post the link here, but just search the Apple assistance forums for Bluetooth muffled, and you are going to locate connected info. Bluetooth devices are just not pairing adequately with iPhone 4.
EDIT: I am on iPhone four iOS four.1 with zero improvement with A2DP stereo bluetooth profile. I've contacted Pioneer requesting the most up-to-date firmware for this stereo, but I'm not holding my breath.
EDIT: I'm still on iPhone four, but now with iOS 4.two.1. With just about every computer software release, I'm hopeful that A2DP stereo bluetooth will once again magically work. Regrettably, it nevertheless doesn't work with iOS 4.two.1 on my iPhone four. The wireless handsfree profile pairs just fine, though.
I have to have to mention one particular oddity, and it's that the stereo will at times just shut itself off out of nowhere. This happened possibly a dozen instances so far, and I've yet to figure out why. I can usually just switch back to the desired input and it begins playing once again, but a couple of occasions I had to park and fully quit power to the auto.
On a different note, I am now at the 2 year ownership period of this stereo, and it nonetheless works incredibly nicely. Buttons are nevertheless responsive, auxiliary input and satellite radio connections are powerful and come via effectively. The plastic screen bezel has some noticeable scratches, even though I am gentle with it - I figure this is unavoidable.
EDIT: I'm nevertheless on iPhone four, but now with iOS 4.three.three. Still no dice receiving bluetooth audio to connect properly. Possibly iOS5 will have some magical repair for this concern.
