Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD 7" In-Dash Double-DIN DVD AV Receiver with iPod/iPhone Control, Pandora Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Just received this and am extremely pleased. In the past, I had bought $1000+ in-dash nav systems for my cars. I've always been a fan of Pioneer's UI so when I heard about the iPhone/Pandora/MotionX GPS functionality I was immediately sold. Why spend an extra $500+ on a nav equipped unit when your smartphone already has it built in? You need to charge your phone while in the car anyway. In addition, I actually find it much easier to input what I'm looking for on my phone so it's a win/win all around
The othe reviewer stated his frustration with the lack of bluetooth. Does he knows there are othe units with this built in? Either way, I feel it's a waste. Unless you've got a luxury car with great sound insulation, nobody's going to hear you. I've had 2 other pioneer BT equipped units (on a Mazda and Honda) and never used it. Always reverted to the headset instead. I supposed it would be nice to see this information on the screen... then again, that's not really a deal-breaker to me. Also, BT audio is pointless (when you have an ipod cable) since the quality isn't quite as good so... again, BT just isn't necessary.
Last but not least... My only knock on this unit is the lack of a physical knob. JVC makes some similar units but all of them have the USB jack on the front. This is a deal-breaker for me and should be for you too. Trust me when I say... you do not want to plug your cable into the front. It's relatively ok for an aux cable since those aren't meant to stay in permanently. iPhone cables, on the other hand, are. Be sure to get one with a USB jack on the back.
