This unit has good sound and some pretty nice features. Very deep, rich bass. High treble tones could be cleaner. one big drawback is that the internal "menu" is cumbersome. Don't even think about trying to make any adjustments other than a simple volume change while driving. Before taking your car on the road, do yourself a favor and toy around using the menu for a while to get used to where settings are.

It does what indicated, but ...
1. there isn't separate channel equalization, that by 2008 should be mandatory. So I still have the same EQ on the rear speaker and on the front ones. Really bad.
2. the USB is available only if you buy a $100 kit... too much for USB option.
3. no RDS on radio stations (I had it back in Europe in 1995).
4. The knob/wheel isn't very intuitive and the interface is quite hard to use. The remote instead is quite good.
5. It sounds ok, could be better.
6. It does play CDs with AAC/iTunes well but the navigation isn't too intuitive. Many characters in the song names or artist names aren't available so they get replaced with annoying "?".

Overall, it is cheap but with today technology at that price you can offer USB, rear/fwd separate EQ, RDS and a better interface.

I had read quite a few reviews where some people found the control wheel complex to use and to configure the audio settings, but I can honestly say that once I got the gist of the multilevel folder-like structure of the menus, it was a piece of cake.

Regarding the features of the receiver, I find it amazing that it has so many options for configuring the sound so that it comes out just perfect.

I appreciate the personalized equalizer and the way you can just navigate through hundreds of songs in different folders and just press on the wheel once you find that track you were looking for.

I've had this awesome receiver for a month now and I haven't even used the remote yet! I also like the detachable faceplate that beeps so you don't forget to take it out.

In a few words, I would recommend this receiver any day due to the quality of sound, looks and tons of useful functions.

I bougth this Pionner CD/Mp3/Wma/iTunes/AAC/Wav Receiver 10 months ago and i think is a great pucharse. I always buy Pionner Brand for my car sound and i will be.

These receiver have many standar Pionner functions and other ones. You can connect your Ipod, MP4 or everywant by means of two points standar jack cable, using and aux input in dash. That is very cool. Also, you can control equalizer, Qset point and options thar let you improve the quality of sound.

The only annoying thin is when sunligth reflect on car dashboard, you can't see at all the display and i thing that is a dessing issue because i had another reciever and this don't happen with them.

I recommended this who wants great sound quality at very good price. If you looking total look's, large display or any other functions, don't buy it.



They arrive on time and price was excelent

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.
