Pioneer DEH-30 MP

Advantages: Good sound quality, loads of features
Disadvantages: Chrome effect peels from around volume control

...Pioneer DEH-30 MP I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time. I think it has really good quality sound even when the volume is on high. It plays any CDs including MP3 and even ones that are slightly scratched play just as well on this CD player. Features MP3/WMA Playback with ID3 Tag CD-R/CD-RW Compatible Aux Input 3 Band parametric equalizer Selectable loudness feature Dual Pre-outs It also has traffic announcement features, preset channel memory and auto/manual frequency search.

Review of Pioneer DEH-30 MP

Pioneer DEH-P7400MP

Advantages: Well priced and good quality
Disadvantages: For some people there will be limited features

...First of all I apologise that this is in the wrong category, but I have asked and asked for the correct one to be added to no avail! Since I bought my car in 2000, I have just had a bog standard radio cassette fitted, and either plugged in my portable CD player when I wanted to play CD's. This was not ideal, as it meant the unit was not as stable, and the quality was nowhere near as good. I carried out some research online, and then went into high street stores to have a look at the ones I liked the most, and that is when I decided on this Pioneer model. My main reason for choosing a unit which allowed me to play MP3's was that I could have the number of CD's on 1 disc that it I would need a 5 disc multichanger for on a normal unit, and it was a lot less hassle. The unit has a decent sized removable flip down face, was also very...

Review of Pioneer DEH-P7000UB

Pioneer DEH4000UB Fantastic, a real bargain if you shop around.

Advantages: Impressive for the money, especially through 'Twenga'.
Disadvantages: None

...I bought the Pioneer DEH-4000UB recently as a replacement for the standard radio/cassette in my BMW 3 series. I have never been impressed with the BMW stereo (Phillips), and assumed that perhaps the speakers were as much to blame as the head unit. I toyed with the idea of fitting a CD multi player in the boot, but they can be very expensive. I was playing by Sansa mp3 player through the head unit, using a cassette adapter, and although the Sansa is one of the best mp3 players you can buy, the adapter and head unit itself did not do it justice, so i decided to look for a new CD/radio, that would look good in the dash of my BMW, would have similar colour illumination to the orange on the rest of the dash, but more importantly, would have an input for the mp3 player. Whilst I was looking around, I found that there are a number...

Review of Pioneer DEH 4000UB

Feature packed Pioneer

Advantages: Sound quality, 3 pre-outs, MP3 + WMA playback.
Disadvantages: Model now discontinued.

...I have had many in-car head units, Sony, Kenwood and various other Pioneer models but this model does everything i need from a head unit. I have had this for about 4 years now, and is frankly head and shoulders above most head units i have had before. You don't now need to spend £200 - £300 on a head unit, and thankfully prices have come down significantly in the last few years and an equivalent model should now set you back about £150. My current set up comprises of Pioneer DEH-P7500MP head unit, Kenwood amp 60 x 2 driving a pair of pioneer 6.5" speakers on rear shelf, an audison amp 220w x 1 driving a 10" Pioneer sealed sub box in the boot and factory fit Ford speakers driven by internal amp (50 x 4) on head unit. Needless to say it rocks with most types of music. Bass extension is deep but not harsh or overpowering. Separation...

Review of Pioneer DEH-P 7500 MP

The Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Car CD Player is really amazing

Advantages: bluetooth, apple itunes compatible
Disadvantages: Still alck some features

...In my opinion..."The Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Car CD Player is really amazing because of its versatility. I love it because it's loaded with features to die for. It has Bluetooth so you're able to connect your phone and enable both handsfree and audio streaming profiles at the same time, meaning you can make and accept calls while listening to music through your speakers. It also has voice dial, auto answering, and phone book transfer. Its audio performance is also very good because the system offers a wide dynamic range and excellent signal to noise ratio so what comes out is sound that is accurate. Furthermore, it also features auto time alignment which equalises the audio output right for your car's interior. With three hi-volt pre-outs, you can even add amplifiers, speakers, subwoofers, and connect your ipod through an adapter. Another...

Review of Pioneer DEH-P 9800 BT

Better Than Expected!

Advantages: Power, style, features, capabilities
Disadvantages: No Subwoofer output

...Owning a Ford Taurus, the need for a better sound system came to mind, since my model had the basic 4 speaker CD player from the factory. I was happy at first, since I did not have a CD player in my old car, so it was initially fine with me. I spend quite a bit of time in my car, and opening the windows on a nice day while cruising on the expressway is something I enjoy. However with the factory system, I could hardly hear my music while also enjoying the breeze. Also, the factory unit sounded flat to me, I enjoy increased highs & lows, which were not available. I then decided it was time to start looking for another in dash system. I was always a fan of Pioneer car audio systems, so I looked all over the web, and found one in my price range, the DEH-4700M. Having the type of car I have, it is completely necessary to purchase...

Pioneer DEH-3130R - What a blast

Advantages: So many functions, great quality sound
Disadvantages: Looks a little dull

...Firstly my Pioneer CD player is the DEH-3130R slightly different to the category its in but i think mine is just the older version of this. I've had this system for about 2 years now and have had a few problems with it. It was even sent back to Pioneer with a fault however it turns out that it was my car electrics that was causing the problem and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the CD player in the first place. So do not let my bad experience deter you. Other than this i have no complaints with this at all. I did have this installed at Halfords for me as it saved me a job, but i have taken it out myself since and have checked out the instruction manual which is clear and detailed so i don't think initial installation is too difficult. I bought this CD player based on its functionality and reduced price tag (£130...

Review of Pioneer DEHP3000R

Pioneer Head unit

Advantages: cheap and cheerfull, pioneer name
Disadvantages: display is a bit dull

...Ok so for people on a budget that cant spend in excess of £150+ this head unit may be for you. It may not look the most safisticated piece of kit but the sound quality is excellent, would you expect anything else from pioneer?? For the price it is fully loaded with features including BMX technology which pumps a little life into flat compressed files, EEQ equalizer and it plays cd-r, cd-rw and also mp3, wav and wma formats. It has one rca pre-out on the back for hooking up your amp and it has a input for a remote which you have to buy seperatly. As far as styling goes you'll have illuminated red buttons, a pair of silver buttons for volume and seek. The front isn't a flip front which would have been nice but it is removable and it comes with a case for when you take it out the car. The display which i find a bit dull and is...

Review of Pioneer DEH 2800 MPB

Pioneer Bluetooth Car Stereo

Advantages: Excellent bluetooth capabilities
Disadvantages: Remote control not very useful

...Easy to install and use. Excellent sound quality. Easy to use bluetooth connection, which makes using your mobile phone hands free extremely easy. When you receive a call, the stereo automatically adjusts to telephone mode and, if you want it to, answers the call for you. The phone call is then played through your car speaker system. The stereo does come with a remote control, which I found a bit pointless, seeing as the stereo is right in front of you. The text on the remote is very small, so made it very difficult to use when driving! Much easier to use the buttons on the stereo! It is also iPod ready and a seperate connector is available from Pioneer to connect your iPod. When using mp3 discs the stereo can also disply the folder and track and artist names which I found very useful...
