People with old cars: we need a up to date infotainment for our cars, it’s not fair. Pioneer: Hold my audio wires.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

lol

[@randomnonsense_1]

This is exactly why I'm looking at this radio. I have an 85 Dodge Ramcharger with NO modern luxuries. I'm looking at this to get Bluetooth and Pandora capability in my truck. On top of that, my speedo doesn't work, so I can use this until I get that fixed (the radio is cheaper than fixing the speedo. 😆 😆).

[@ItzTheDay]

Just installed this in my 72 El Camino SS. So far so good, only thing I'm don't like is I can't set the the unit custom color to be just white, it's more of a blue color.

[@zacharius119]

The only thing this is missing is wireless charging in the phone mount. Awesome stereo.

Doesn't it get annoying with no knob volume control? I think it will drive me crazy adjusting the volume with buttons..

[@kanetheriot3204]

Just ordered one. Will have it this week.

[@DIYwithBraMangMang]

@@mattfinlay7476 Not at all. I love the clean look and i actually prefer the up down volume. My smartphone is 5.5" and its black so most people think its part of the head unit which is nice lol. Have had it for 6 months and I still love it.

[@lara806]

Does it have to be on the cradle for it to work

[@tatsumaru12345]

I wish on the media playing screen, you could control the volume on your screen. With that, this would be THE definitive headunit for hidden systems. Be able to hide the sph10bt somewhere, and use your phone/tablet to control it. No need to mess with the factory headunit at all.

[@opelchampion]

You can in the middle picture go up or down for volume and sideways to change number

[@danmakingstuff8392]

You can, just swipe up/down on your screen

[@benjcrandall]

Forgive me but a 15$ Bluetooth fm transmitter does all of this. This is flashy and sleek but functionality wise I think its a waste of money.

[@johnnyloizides7887]

But your Bluetooth transmitter won't play radio or have, a mic that works, or have rear camera and sensor capability. It's actually very good.

Hey man, I won’t know how I do it or what I press but sometimes the stereo says ‘pause’ why is this? Would appreciate the help! Thanks

[@petecastiglione9710]

This might be the ticket for my 1933 ford resto mod. Change out the old Alpine unit that doesn’t even do BT and I can have nav, make calls, play all my music.

[@985M]

Hello. Can music be played from a usb pren drive directly and use smart sync for other things at the same time? Thanks

[@fr33sat56]

I wish if Pioneer made fusion of this and my p70BT. Entertainment and USB port for mp3. Everything else is unnecessary. Have this radio on test for few days, but, not thanks. It is practicly unusable without smartphone.

[@gattonpc]

I had this one.. the exact model in the video.. NEVER AGAIN.. is just not working properly. The app interface and the app itself is full of errors..and work like shit. Just 1 short exemple: If i leave the car and take the phone with me.. when i comeback in the car.. it will not autoreconect with the media.. i must close and restart the media in order to be able to autoreconect with the phone via bluetooth....and this is only 1 small problem this product have..There are many more..to write down here...it's just don't worth the hasstle.

It looks really cheap compared to model from the 90’s like my cd player Premier model P-99

[@SureshBopitiya]

Just installed one today, I'm looking forward to using it. Couldn't get it to connect to my Samsung Galaxy S10+, but will keep at it tomorrow.

[@cldpt]

it's kind of weird, I got an s10 standard and it seemed to have some issues connecting until I figured I also needed to press "YES" on the radio. My major gripe with this is that the wired mode unfortunately isn't usable. The main issue is obviously it doesn't seem to pass the sound through USB due to the way Samsung implements USB OTG (I think), so basically it only allows control of the radio but phone audio comes from the phone... Even then there are other glitches and nitpicks such as not being able to work in both modes - if one would unplug the cable it would be nice to fall back to bluetooth, and when connecting to prioritize USB, but as it stands it only allows changing modes through the "MENU" when the app id disconnected... Which is like 20 seconds to do. It also doesn't seem to start correctly with USB plugging (even with USB AUTO ON), and with the S10 using USB then bugs out the Bluetooth "Audio" toggle on the "Bluetooth device settings", when selecting if we want "Calls", "audio" and "Contacts" Audio will punch back to off with a failure on Android. Anyway, I just use bluetooth with it and sets USB AUTO OFF , so that I can keep the phone cahrging. Everything seems to work well enough over bluetooth but it's a shame we couldn't use this more like a true Android Auto wired unit. I would also expect better audio quality over wire but as I said, that's not working as audio doesn't pass over USB.

[@advLunatic]

After a while this will stop connecting automatically via Bluetooth. Will have to connect manually each time, still sync app will not pair with device 9 out of 10 times. Audio quality is very good. It easily drives my jbl components.

[@poptrunkonu]
