Pioneer SPH-10BT Smart Sync with Smartphone Cradle

[@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.

[@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

@@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.

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

[@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.

[@brit-in-czech]

Does not connecting the handbrake wire reduce functionality in some way? If so, is there a bypass option or bypass device?

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

I got this stereo when it got released and it worked great for a few months and I was happy I made the choice but after a while it had problems with the pioneer smart sync app and it would not connect to the stereo, so I had to set it to Bluetooth.

So it's nothing to do really with audio quality, instead it's relevant to expandability with an external amplifier. The best situation is 3 sets of RCA outputs, one set for front speakers, one set for rear speakers and the final set for the amplifier

CONS (that i found online) : NO MUTE! you have to keep pressing volume down many times, imagine if u listening loud music - NO USB cable option in the back of stereo - USB is on the Left side, and phone holder swivels to the left only - NO FAST CHARGING - Phone holder may hit your dash when extended (depending on your car dashboard design) - OTHERS CONS PPL MENTION: seems you can't save Radio Stations , and app has issues with 'Auto-Connect' some people complain about having to manually connect every time they get into the car.
