Digital camera reviews of Pioneer FH-P8000BT Double-Din In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with Built-In Bluetooth, iPod Control, and Rear USB Input
Digital camera Review: Exceptional
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this unit for about 4 months now, and I'm pleased with it. I have an Iphone 3g and the bluetooth connects just fine. Works very well. Every now and then when I connect the phone to the usb while on a call, it will launch the ipod. That happens rarely though. Some of the function keys that should be on the face of the unit are not there and that's a tad annoying. Like sound retriever has a dedicated button, that could have been maybe used for "pause". I would have liked to be able to change the display colors or even to dim it, because it is extremely BRIGHT blue. I love that it made my factory speakers sound so much better. People really don't believe that I didn't upgrade the speakers with the radio, that's just how good it sounds. Calls come in clear, and the Ipod works great. I bought the unit to be handsfree and for the ipod function. If I'm on a call before I get in the car, it connects once I start the car. Overall I'd say they could have made the functionality of this unit a little better, but I'm not too displeased with it. I also don't like the fact that you can only answer/hang up a call with the remote unless you want to do it with your phone. If you own an Iphone you understand why this is annoying, and both parties HAVE to end the call. I'm not sure if I just haven't figured out how to do it with out the remote yet, but in 4 months I haven't found anything too much more new. It arrived in a few days after ordering it, and was packaged well enough to secure the unit. Like I said, other than some functional issues, I really like the unit. I hope this helps, and I know I jumped around a bit but I was writing and recalling likes/dislikes at the same time. I'm sure there's more, but I wanted to wait until I'd used the unit for awhile before I reviewed it.Digital camera Review: Exelente eleccion
Summary: 5 Stars
A los que les gusta el mundo del sonido con con un toque de sencillez, esta unidad Pioneer es una de las mejores en su categoria. Su interfaz USB con capacidad hasta 250 GB y su conexion de control completo con el iPod hacen de esta unidad exelente para la instalacion en el vehiculo, al igual con la conectividad Bluetooth se olvida uno por completo de estar disminuyendo el sonido cada vez que uno recibe una llamada telefonica, importa todos tus contactos del directorio telefonico del radio.
Es una exelente decision y una muy buena eleccion.
Digital camera Review: F250 Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
The bluetooth capability is excellent except for the microphone needs to have a greater pickup range. I used Amazon's selection process to fit my vehicle however; the mounting hardware was inadequate. Upon further investigation through Pioneer, a separate mounting system must be purchased. I believe Amazon should be more thorough in their recomendation process to inform customers of these requirements.Digital camera Review: Fantastic headunit but it's just missing something.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Pioneer FH-80000BT really is a fantastic headunit for those who just want something better in their car. It's stock-like appearance, quality construction and capabilities make it more than worth it's price point.
Capabilities:
A2DP Bluetooth streaming is a big plus for those who wish to stream from their portable devices (Android phone, iPhone, Blackberry) gone are the easily snag-able wires and frustration once a connector shorts out, gets dirty or completely wears out from use. Audio quality through Bluetooth is not fantastic but it is certainly enjoyable (I used my Motorola Droid to base my opinion). Added bonus is the ability to seek and skip forward/back through the headunit's controls. That way you are not fumbling around with your phone trying to hit just the right spot on the screen to skip a song you hate or repeat a song you really enjoy.
Rear Mounted USB. This seems to be a personal opinion on where it is mounted. Personally I do like the USB to be mounted in the rear of the headunit. It's just so nice to have a nice dash without a sync cable or flash drive hanging out of it just waiting to be broken by your hand as you turn up the volume on your favorite song.
Aux-In. Again mounted in the rear. I have yet to test this feature.
Radio Quality: It's great even with my rear windshield mounted antenna. Sound is nice and clear with only a slight fuzzing of the AM band when I got stuck under an overpass on the freeway.
CD Player: I never tested this feature. Based on my experience with using MP3 files through a flash drive I imagine it works pretty good.
Advanced sound retriever technology: Works great. Two levels of scavenging you get back your highs and lows from your compressed media files pretty accurately.
Bluetooth Phone: Connects quickly, downloads your phonebook quickly and the sound quality is very good. Echo cancellation works like a charm and the noise isolation is pretty flawless.
Control Interface: This is where the unit lost a star. While the multi-function dial is the best I have seen in a Pioneer since they started with them the menus are a bit clugy and fractured. Some menus like equalization settings are somewhat buried and others just aren't available in some profiles. This unit could use some preset buttons as well.
Display: I really don't understand Pioneer's thinking on just having a 3 line alpha-numeric display on this headunit. They really should have gone with some sort of dot matrix display on this one.
All in all this really is not a bad headunit. It would just take a few simple upgrades to make it a great headunit without going to a full touchscreen interface. So, again if you are just trying to replace a failed stock headunit this is a darned good one to go with.
Digital camera Review: Finally no static playing my iPod
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my 2004 Ford Explorer - for the phone features and for playing my iPod nano directly, instead of through an adapter. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the unit. The sound is infinetely adjustable, the display is easy to read, the controls are friendly, once you understand the system. I can play music off of a flash drive, CD, iPod, AM/FM, so I'm never bored.
The phone is trickier to figure out, but the microphone quality is clear and being able to turn up the volume on a phone call is great, especially with increased noise on highway drives. During the initial setup, be SURE to set the phone volume to what you want FIRST, because changing it is more difficult than it should be. My Blackberry Pearl connected easily while the address book transfer was a bit trickier.
The phone has a feature to prevent feedback - I've got it on all the time and at the highest setting. Makes for super clear conversations, according to those who are hearing me on the other end. Great product, I would recommend to anyone.
