Pioneer DEH-P9400BH Mobile CD Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth and HD Radio Tuner

I won't reiterate all the reviews discussing sound quality, etc. Its a Pioneer..sound quality is fantastic so no need to rehash that.I will point out you do NOT need to purchase a separate wiring harness. This comes with one already.Also purchase that $11 USB adapter here at Amazon (link below). Since the USB ports are in the back of this unit (very clean install!) you can drill a 3/4 hole in your glove box and snap it in and run the cable into the rear of your Pioneer during installation..its PERFECT for a hidden USB port for running memory sticks. I'm using a 32GB stick for music and nobody knows..plus you can lock your glovebox for a little more added security.***Ok I want to give a voice to those who want to pair this with an android phone; specifically what we DO and DO NOT get vs. iPhone/iPod and how it works with android.First, this unit works very well with an android, don't let the fact Pioneer only talks about iPhones scare you.You can pair up to 3 devices; I'm just using one. Once you pair, it shows as "nexus 4" on the display.The mic I mounted to the back of my steering column. GREAT sound quality; no one I talk to thinks they're on a speakerphone.Another cool thing, you start your car and when radio comes on it automatically connects and you're ready to recieve phone calls or your bluetooth music app on your phone starts playing.Bluetooth Phone Android Functions- Downloads last 50 dialed calls- Downloads last 50 recieved calls- Downlaods last 50 missed calls- Downloads all contacts/phonebook- Switch incoming call off bluetooth back to phone (for privacy) by touching one button on the radio so the person's voice isn't coming out of car speakers- Ignore call- Answer call- Pick up call while on phone (call waiting)From those 4 options, you can simply use the dial to find a person to call. Very cool and easy. No need to touch your phone. Android phone BT services all work perfect here.**Very cool feature regardless of what input source is playing (radio, bluetooth, CD, USB, etc.) the audio will mute and the phone will ring through the speakers and you can take the incoming call by touching the big silver button (or right arrow on your steering wheel control).Bluetooth General Audio Functions (Android)- Play - (automatically starts) click BAND button on radio or on steering wheel control to resume play if paused.- Pause - hit BIG SILVER BUTTON, move to FUNCTION mode and click again. in the future, just click FUNCTION on your steering wheel control and hit the RIGHT arrow to pause/play- Stop - hit function twice on steering wheel remote and hit RIGHT arrow or hit BIG SILVER BUTTON on radio, move to STOP screen and hit it again- Rewind - hold down DOWN radio lever (or hold down RIGHT arrow on steering wheel remote)- Fast Forward - hold down UP radio lever (or hold down LEFT arrow on steering wheel remote)- Next Track - tap DOWN arrow (or tap RIGHT arrow on steering wheel remote)- Previous Track - tap UP arrow (or tap LEFT arrow on steering wheel remote)Using any music player app on android the head unit will control those functions on your phone. Super cool.Bluetooth Pandora Audio (Android)- Play - (automatically starts) click BAND button on radio or on steering wheel control to resume play if paused.- Pause - hit BIG SILVER BUTTON, move to FUNCTION mode and click again. in the future, just click FUNCTION on your steering wheel remote and hit the right arrow to pause/play- Next track - tap DOWN arrow on radio (or RIGHT arrow on steering remote control)Note Android Pandora will NOT display song title on the head unit or give you access to your mix stations or allow you to use the "up" and "down" arros to thumb-up or thumb-down tracks like the iPhone. However, those features are good enough for me to enjoy Pandora completely. Don't really miss those features..just happy I can play/pause and jump to the next track all from my steering wheel controls.Bluetooth and Navigation- Using the default Google Maps and Navigation the radio mutes whatever is playing and you can cleanly hear navigation instructions. This is great; just toss the phone in your center console or on the seat and you still get voice turn-by-turn directions and you don't have to be distracted looking at the phone.Bluetooth General- Shuts off/pauses music when you get out of car (and radio goes off) and resumes automatically when you get back in! Probably a standard feature but I love this. I don't have to do a thing..just grab my phone and go..the music pauses until I'm back in my car again and the radio is on.So, in summary, I highly recommend this unit, and I would also add the following accessories to make it completeUSB adapter link:PAC 6' USB Cable with Mounting Bracket USBCBLwireless steering wheel remote:Pioneer Cdsr100 Steering Wheel Remote Control

I really wanted to spend big bucks on a car deck, I really did. I was checking out Pioneers 2DIN AVH line and pretty much fell in love with the AVH8400BH. Then I was at a car audio shop and realized that this little guy had almost all the features I cared about for 1/3 the price. Now as much as I like to waste $ (and I love to waste $, ask my financial advisor) I couldn't justify putting a $600 deck in an older vehicle. I decided to buy this unit after realizing it had the Bluetooth, iPhone integration features, Pandora support, HD radio and Pioneer is known to have good sound quality. Installing the deck was straightforward. It comes with a pretty long usb cord as the USB is located on the rear, you could probably run it over to the glovebox no sweat if you wanted. I also bought Pioneers iPod cable to directly plug my iPhone in to the unit. It's nice to have 2 USB ports on the unit so you can connect pretty much anything. The interface isn't too much of a learning curve to me, a techy, but I could see it being a bit steep for someone who isn't astute with electronics. I like how the color was easy to match to my car's dash. I like the iPod control, makes it a cinch to search for artists or playlists, and the fact I can change Pandora stations without handling my phone. The sound is very good, 22w rms and powers some JBL components admirably even though you can tell they are aching for more power. Bluetooth audio sounds great, but it seems there's no way to change tracks? Kind of wish that I could do that. People tell me the bluetooth call quality is good, so I'm going to give it thumbs up for that. I agree with another Pioneer reviewer who noted that the speaker output wires are super thin, would another couple cents of copper kill ya Pioneer? So for the $175 smackers I coughed up for this fully featured unit, I feel like I got my moneys worth, all the modern features, good sound and adequate built in amps, plus a 3 pretty good preamp outs (4v) for if I decide I need to get the thump and bump going at any point.
