Forgot this deck if you have iPhone/iPodTouch 
2008-01-04
This deck was great, when it worked.
The iPod functionality only works intermittently, where 95% of the the iPhone will not charge, or display current song info, or support most navigation features. When it does connect with the iPhone correctly, it looked like it would have been great,
Also the bluetooth works great, until you power off your car, then you need to re-sync the iphone to the deck, every time you turn your car off.
I called pioneer, and they basically blamed everything on apple, and offered no solution of any kind for these issues.
It appears that many phones have issue with the bluetooth, so be wary.
Exactly what I wanted! Great head unit! 
2007-12-20
I installed this in a 2006 TOY TACOMA DBL CAB.
Here's a head unit that gives you great options and performance!
I purchased the P7900BT for the Bluetooth, expandablity for USB, AUX IN, IPOD, SAT RADIO... if I want to add something later I can!
Now, the Built-in-bluetooth is very sweet! make sure after installation you hit the reset button on the front. The bluetooth picks up my Samsung U620 in about 10 seconds. It actually pleasantly surprised me when I was on the phone as I got into the car and it automatically transfered the call to the car speakers!
BT MUSIC is another great option: I didn't realize it when I bought it, but I have managed to connect my laptop to the head unit through bluetooth. I can just sit my laptop on the passenger seat and it will play through my MP3s with ease; and it sounds good too! (you need bluetooth on your notebook)
Phone calls: All I get are compliments from others on how clear it is at both ends of the call. I look forward to having convo's in the truck instead directly on the phone.
Audio: I will one day add a amp, sub and new speakers. this head unit will easily allow for the addition of such things with the 3-preamp outputs.
Controls: At first the controls are a little frustrating; however, after one day I am already getting it all figured out.
The only problem I have had is with the CD player; I put one in, it plays fine, but I am unable to get it out! because of this the face won't retreat back to its' normal position right away; it will after a minute or so.
I tried everything under the moon to get it out. I am in the process of doing a advanced exchange for the same unit.
For the cost here on Amazon ($50-70 cheaper than next best) you can't go wrong with this unit.
you'll be very happy with this one
Works with my LG 
2007-10-29
After reading other customer reviews I bought this unit for my wife and at the time she had a motorola phone. The unit worked great but I got a little nervous when she came home with a new LG AX8600 after reading about problems between this unit and LG phones. I was pleasantly surprised to learn this LG phone works great with this deck. Also the LG phone transmits the battery indicator and signal strength info to the deck but the Motorola would not. Now I just have to figure out how to "press 1 for English" or "# and security code" to check my voicemail through the Pioneer.
Yes it works with Blackberrys... 2007-10-09
This unit does work with blackberrys (I have been using it for calls all week with great results). I was worried about the unit because of other reviews, however I decided to bite the bullet and try it. I am glad I did, it works like a champ! When using a Blackberry, it will not store your phone book, or allow voice dialing, or transfer music, etc, however I knew that going in. I just needed a unit to allow high quality hands free operation and be xm ready. I have been very happy with it.
It took me about 2 hours to install it with xm radio adapter. I have a 2008 equinox and bought the harness and kit through Crutchfield.
So if you have a blackberry, don't get scared off of this one.
Incompatible with LG Music Phones! 2007-08-24
Buyer be warned--even though Pioneer states on their website that the deck works with the new music phones, it will not pair with LG cellphones (ie, the new chocolate 8550, etc) for BT Audio. This is a major flaw and oversight in their testing. So, don't plan on using this unit for wireless audio streaming if you own and LG phone--which tons of people do.
Had Pioneer stated this incompatibility on their website, rather than having told me over the phone when I called tech-support after a frustrating few hours of trying to get BT Audio to work, I would not have bought the unit. Needless to say, they'll be dealing with my return.
Works with BlackBerry 8330 2008-07-17
It works great! It automatically links to my BlackBerry 8330 when I turn my car on and goes back to the handset when I turn it off. I also use it with my Samsung Trace. It will only let you connect one at a time, but it works great with both. I still can't get the phone book transfer to work quite right, but it could be error on my part.
My main reason for purchasing the deck was to connect my iPod. It works great and sounds amazing! The only thing pioneer could have done different is let you scroll by Alphabet letters to get through artists, or songs, because if you have a lot on you iPod it takes a while to scroll to anything in the middle. And the other thing they could have done is put the wheel on the right side of the screen so you can see what you are scrolling through. It's the best deck of its kind I've seen and heard.
very nice! 2008-05-15
Product was exactly as described. Works great and it has really enhanced my music in my car coming from stock! Highly suggested radio. Pioneer is GREAT with electronics, and Amazon is GREAT with helping to buy them!!
Pleased 2008-03-31
Had Best Buy install my stereo a couple days after I received it. It took them about 30 minutes and I've been loving it ever since. As for the hands-free...I surly like not having to search for my cell phone when it rings. With the remote,with one push of a button you are connected. And talk about crystal clear,it is. I was worried about how good the reception would be because everyone claims their product is the best, but I truly was not disappointed. As for the stereo...Pioneer speaks for itself. Great product,Great Price.
Overall great CD player 2008-03-02
I bought this CD player because I really wanted an iPod compatible CD player and the Bluetooth capabilities was a nice bonus. I bought the wiring harness and iPod cable as well and had a local car audio shop install it because it was a little too advanced for me. The microphone for the Bluetooth is mounted right by my visor. I have a 2005 Honda Civic and a Palm Treo and it works great together. My main complaint however is with the iPod stuff - it works great with my 5th gen iPod video, but it doesn't save your spot when you are browsing by artist. I kind of wish you could use the iPod to browse. Quick fix is to create well thought out playlists and browse quickly that way. I also cannot get my phonebook over to the CD player memory but I haven't messed with it that much.
Overall - very good CD player especially for the money.
A nice upgrade option 2008-01-10
I bought this as a Christmas present for my girlfriend. I really have no complaints so far. The two biggest features for me are iPod connectivity and blue tooth phone. Both work great, although I do not have experience with any other head unit to compare it to. The interface takes some learning, but we found using the remote makes it easier to browse through large artists lists from iPod while not being too distracted from the road.
Bluetooh with a Razr phone was easy to setup and transfer contact list. We still haven't played with all of the features, but the basic functions work great.
Overall, I am very happy with the decision.
