Accessories

Good, but could be better.
Pioneer always has really great, high-end products. I was only slightly disappointed with this one. Whoever they have in their usability/user interface department, they need to fire them. The controls on this deck are absolutely counter-intuitive. I consider myself pretty much a gadget geek and computer nerd, so I'm usually able to figure out how to use things without reading the manual. However, I had to read the manual to figure out how to use it, which generally means it hasn't been designed very well. It's very difficult to navigate through the menus of the deck.

I would say whoever wrote their user manual should also be fired, since it's extremely confusing and hard to read. I still don't know how to change the clock on it.

Overall, it's a great upgrade. I miss my stock Honda one, but some of the buttons didn't work. Once you get the Pioneer deck installed, I suggest just using the included remote, as it's much easier.

Egronomic Nightmare
I had a previous pioneer cd player for 10 years and it was great so I decided to upgrade to this one.
HOWEVER THE JOYSTICK CONTROLLER ON THIS ONE IS A TOTAL PIECE OF GARBAGE. THE USER MANUAL IS INCOMPLETE AND WAY TO OPERATE THIS IS CONFUSING AT BEST. SPENT THE LAST TWO HOURS TRYING TO PROGRAM THE CLOCK. I PLAN ON RETURNING THIS AND NEVER BUYING ANY PIONEER PRODUCTS AGAIN (AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO BUY THIS GARBAGE).

can't see display
The biggest problem I have with this thing is I can't see the display. My car has a sunroof and the glare is too much. I'm really not thrilled with not having the presets in the face either. but it sounds good enough for the money. What's the purpose of having the 1 button do most of the features is also a pain especially when you CAN'T SEE THE DAMNED DISPLAY!!!! I think a lot of times these companies just have to add more options to display them in their advertizing. How about a dial you can seein any light, a volume, and three tone controls. These preset tone controls are crap. to many variables with the speakers and the vehicle sound for them not to sound different in every car,

Simple and great looking
Great value for my money and looks great. It is easy to use and all functions I need are at the remote. A great buy for me.
