Digital camera reviews of Pioneer FH-P8000BT Double Din In-Dash CD/Mp3/Wma/iTunes AAC/Wav Receiver

Digital camera Review: I am pleased
Summary: 4 Stars

Overall I really like this unit. I replaced a stock head unit in my 2004 Subaru Forester. It sounds great, tunes in stations clearly, and most importantly it connects with my Blackberry Curve 8320 via bluetooth. Usually. The hands-free phone connection over bluetooth is flawless and works every time. It connects automatically and works and sounds fine.

However, and this is part that takes some effort, this unit also supports stereo and av control connections via bluetooth but getting this unit to connect as effortlessly is something I have not yet figured out. I have to disconnect using my phone after it fails and then initiate a connection from the head unit (three button presses) first, then, after it connects BT audio I switch to the hands-free phone connection on the unit and initiate a connection there. This method works every time but it requires a minute or so of sitting in the car fiddling with the stereo to get all connected.

I have also used the USB connection successfully but you don't get the AV controls through the unit, you have to skip tracks using the phone. I was able to upload my contacts from the phone (400 numbers anyway as this is the maximum) and can search using the headset but it's easier to use the phone for finding a number.

I have also used the AUX input headphone jack to play, but again, you don't get the controls.

If I remember right, to create a station preset you have to tune to your station, press the list button, rotate to the number you want it be and press and hold the knob for a few seconds.

As in previous posts:
- The knob scratches easily and I am contemplating something I can glue over it but so far it's not that bad.
- It's bright but there is a setting that dims it a little bit and another setting that kills the display all together. I was careful to be sure to connect the dimmer wire correctly but it seems to have no effect.
- Controls take a little getting used to but once you are over that hurdle it's pretty intuitive.
