PioneerSPH-10BT 1-Din Smart Sync Receiver – Bluetooth, Smartphone Mount, Color Change, USB, FLAC, Voice Control, 50W x 4 Output, 13-Band EQ, AM/FM Radio, Front, Rear/SW Selectable RCA Preout

I paired this with 4 Pioneer A-Seies TS-A6881F speakers in my 2001 F250 Super duty Utility box truck. Buy the right parts and adapters, and everything was plug and play. Tried unit with the 2 factory 25 watt speakers and it sounded really good, major improvement of stock radio. Then I installed the 4 PioneerTS-A6881F speakers... WOW, Amazing, Incredible!!! My truck only came with 2 speakers, but back doors were already wired, so why not. The sound is incredible, and the volume is louder then I can comfortably stand. Take some time to navigate menus, and you will find more settings and control of things then you can hope for. Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Phone fits fine and secure, but had to order a thinner case so it will fit with no chance of falling out. The latest version of the Pioneer app works very well. And this unit is very very Nice. Added bonus was the button for Alexa . So I can have music going from app of my choice Have Navigation going. quick buttons on unit to switch back and forth. Now I need to find a gas station or something. press the Alexa button and ask for what you want.. Could not be easier . I do wish there was a quick access to mute. Volume control is easy, next song is easy, but if you want to mute it is 2 menus away. But you can simply press the pause button. problem solved.

I was a little hesitant going with this unit due to mixed reviews, but at only $100 I figured why not! This unit is everything I wanted and I will address the concerns I had due to other reviews that I had read:1. Issues connecting. I have ZERO issues connecting and reconnecting via bluetooth. I think some people might have had issues with multiple phones and priorities, but I only use one phone and it works perfectly (Samsung S10+)2. Issues with the app. The app isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done. I highly reccomend using the "Android auto for phone" app. It has an intuitive interface that gets you everything you need. You can use the pioneer app for eq and other stereo settings.3. Phone holster issues. This holster is BEEFY! I am very impressed with it, but I can see how people with really thick phones might have issues with it holding the phone.Oh, and you dont have to use the holster. If you have pandora playing and shut off the car, it will start back up when you crank the car again... with the phone in your pocket!Overall this is a STEAL for $100

I bought this for my boyfriend’s Honda S2000 in hopes that it’d fit to replace the stock radio that doesn’t have Bluetooth and we were both pleasantly shocked at the amount of features this radio has for this price! We downloaded the app, adjusted the sound settings, and noticed it connects to the car computer so it can read if there are any issues with the vehicle. It obviously doesn’t replace better car sensors but it was an unexpected bonus! The graphics can also be adjusted on the screen that dances as music is playing and the ease of use makes this a perfect go-to budget radio! Highly recommend! Let this be your sign to make the purchase if you have any doubts!

Update 8.10.21 - I wanted to circle back around on this and change my review as I found the stereo does not need the app to function. You might need the app to get it set up, but you can delete after that considering if you do have the app installed you have to wait for this really archaic connection process. Get the app and set your sound balance etc, then just delete and use via bluetooth. Now it's the best radio I've ever had in car, I just don't use most of the buttons on the face except for next/back and volume. The app really, really, really is awful, but the radio does the trick and you can connect to steering wheel control. 4 stars because it's too expensive for what it is. I'd still get it, especially now knowing that you're not trapped in the app.Old review from when I was pissed:Software ruins customer experience, and is required to run the unit. Excellent physical execution, having the mount is fantastic, but the good times stop there. Tidy IOS and software updates is my MO, you can see the app is weak, and effectively does not provide value outside of initiating safety features which subsequently render the unit useless, most of the time. When you turn on the car the unit kicks on and the app will halt whatever you are doing to begin connection phase, however that phase is automatically initiated so you wait for the app to sometimes go into car mode, which is limited in itself.I just want a bluetooth car radio with a decent mount, and this hot garbage is the closest I could find. I soundly do not recommend as every time I get in to do an errand I spend more time trying to get the radio going than is reasonable, I want Pioneer to swap me out for some other basic, but when I contacted customer service there was not even a response, automated or human. Double foul.

Ordered for a 1971 VW super Beetle convertible as it said it would fit but it didn't so had to return it, so sorry as it was an awesome stereo and exactly what I needed for a old car.
