Solid Unit, works well for me,
This is the first In Dash double din GPS head unit that I have installed. My first impression is that it works well.
I got the optional Ipod cable (Pioneer CD-IU51V) and it connects to my phone (iPhone 3GS) right away every time. I know others have tried to connect with the provided cable and will see connection problems I have seen none with the extra cable.
Pandora and Aha Radio works great. This is my favorite feature. Thumbs up / down, skip songs from the head unit.
The GPS system seems fast and even finds my house which others in the past haven’t. I have had several portable (stand alone) GPS units from Garmin and in my opinion Garmin is the best. This unit works well enough for what I need it to do though.
I installed the back-up camera (Pioneer ND-BC4) to this unit and it works very well. I was impressed with the image quality (see picture in image gallery).
The EQ settings are numerous and have allowed me to dial in an excellent sound quality even with the factory speakers.
The voice recognition seems to work OK. I have never found any that seem to work flawlessly OEM or aftermarket.
Ipod controls work well, Album art loads quickly and you can control in easily.
Built in HD tuner seems to work well.
Antenna booster works well.
CD/DVD playback works quickly. I have had no issues with the DVD playback or MP3 CD’s I have used.
The Bluetooth connection seems fast and has worked every time for me. Incoming calls (auto mute) works well.
Phone contact transfer worked first try.
The supplied microphone works well and the cable length is great even for longer runs. I ran mine up the A-pillar to the mirror and still had about 3 extra feet of cable.
I’m not sure where the 2 star ratings are coming from but every aftermarket unit will have it pluses and minuses. I did a great deal of research before buying and I am very happy with my purchase.

|Pretty darn happy!,
I read the negative reviews here before I purchased the unit. I’ve been in the electronics industry for almost 20 years, so I know you can find people unhappy with every product ever made. Anyway, the features seemed great, and it was less than the Kenwood, so I gave it a go. Impressions, comments:
1) all that “read the manual” stuff was not necessary. If you have been around computers, tv’s, smart phones, electronics, etc… it’s all about as clean and straight forward as you could ask for.
2) Uh, where is the “mute” button? lol There is an “off” button, but no “mute” button. Odd.
3) with “echo cancelling” set to “on” the bluetooth phone calls sound great for me and for the person I’m talking to. With all the people I know with lousy sounding handsfree bluetooth through the car stereo phone setups… this is reason enough to keep this unit, for me.
4) the touch screen scrolling of my DVD mp3s and my memory card mp3s is challenging; especially whilst driving. I’ve been a computer guy for some 25 years so I can deal with it… but even young video playing passengers have a pretty hard time scrolling through songs. A scroll bar with functional arrow buttons top and bottom would be most welcome. As would the ability to “sort” MP3s.
5) I use the memory card option for my MP3s and love it; it’s pretty fast access, as well.
6) sound quality of DVD movies, MP3s and the HD radio are all very good. It’s true that the radio preset button could be nicer.
7) bluetooth MP3s off my DroidX work great. A direct cable off the AV1 input to my DroidX also works great.
9) I put a rear camera in and that works just fine.
10) navigation… the reviews almost kept me from getting this unit… everyone says the Garmin in the Kenwood is better… and it probably is. But, I’ve used alot of cell phone nav units and they all work fine for me… so does this one.
If Pioneer made easier scrolling of MP3 music I’d give this thing 5 stars. I’m really happy with it and it makes me look forward to driving.
EDIT: Just discovered that the “Advanced Sound Retriever” feature does not work with SD cards (which is what I’m using for my MP3s rather than DVDs… as they hold more and also come up faster), but only with DVDs.
Also, I’ve kinda beaten the touch screen scrolling just by nesting everything in lists no longer than six items. Then I only have to touch the screen and never have to scroll. A pain to setup but works pretty good when finished.

|Best low end GPS I’ve ever used.,
I’ve been using GPS units for over a decade. My first unit was a Magellan hiking oriented unit. I ditched it after two weeks and got a Garmin hiking unit that lasted me 6 years. The UI was much better, and Garmin really seems to pay attention to that. When the Nuvi wide screen units came out, that was the price performance price to get me into a unit oriented for driving. I’ve had both the 200w and the 255w. The 200w was good. The 255w had subtle UI improvements such as the speed limit display.
The new Garmin 50 beats them hands down. It’s larger, and for less money than the others when they were new. The 5″ display makes a huge difference. In addition to the larger display, almost everything about the maps details, fonts for text info, icons and symbols all seem larger, beyond just scaling up for screen size. Everything is much easier to read at a quick glance. The bootup is much faster. The first couple of times, there’s a rather annoying license click-through, but it goes away after that. It hasn’t been back. There’s a “safety mode” which tries to tell you what a bad idea changing settings while driving is. It’s easy to override, and easy to turn off.
Lane assist! It works… Sometimes it’s timing is a little off… If it triggers too early you can end up in a “disappearing lane”. Too late, and it can be tough to get into the correct lane in time, so this feature isn’t an easy one to get right. It’s still a big help.
When approaching a critical intersection, the screen splits, and a “street view” of the intersection appears. A cartoon depiction. I was worried that this would be disconcerting. But it’s not. It works. It’s helpful. BTW, this size screen in a motorcycle-toughened unit would be FABULOUS. Just my view.

|Great GPS!,
This GPS is 100 times better than my old GPS, the Garmin 750! Everything is a lot quicker now from finding satellites to scrolling on the screen. Plus, there’s a whole bunch of great new features. Some examples are how it now tells you which lane to be in so you don’t have to guess, the screen refreshes faster so it’s easier to actually tell when to turn, the junction view is pretty handy, and apparently it shows you speed traps and red light cameras! Definitely a great buy.
