Pioneer FH-P8000BT Double-Din In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with Built-In Bluetooth, iPod Control, and Rear USB Input Immediately

This deck has everything I wanted. Installation wasn't too difficult and it comes with a shim to fill any potential gap you may have between the deck and the dashboard panel. It's a nice big double-din which makes it easy to use. I hate trying to find tiny buttons when I'm tryin to drive. The big round knob does take a bit of practice and learning to know how to use all the players functions but it's very easy to use once you have it figured out.

The sound quality is pretty good but I never compared it to any other decks so I'm just saying that subjectively. My favorite part of this deck is that it can use USB mass storage devices (most mp3 players/flash drives) to play MP3's and other formats which is a HUGE bonus. I can't begin to tell you how nice it is to stick ALL your music on a flash drive, plug it in and never have to switch a CD again. One minor flaw however is that it limits the bitrate it will play to 320kbps. Any file with a bitrate over 320kbps won't play. Mind you, that's pretty high but I have alot of music in FLAC (lossless, uncompressed format) and I was a bit bummed that I couldn't use the lossless WMA or iTunes files with this deck, they had to be compressed first =/

The bluetooth hands free works great now, although setting it up was a little tricky due to my LG phone not having thorough instructions. Basically, I had to turn off some bluetooth security option MANUALLY before telling the phone I wanted it to connect to the deck. I would have thought just telling the phone to connect would to the deck would work but apparently the LG engineers don't like to make things easy and it wasn't in the instructions with the phone. I also had some problems getting the phonebook to transfer all at once but I suspect its not the pioneer's fault but my cheap LG phone. I was able to transfer each phone book entry one at a time though. None of this stuff is a con against the Pioneer deck btw, but you might have similar problems with your phone and knowing the solution could save you some time.
