Review on 🎶 Pioneer DEH-S4200BT Single-DIN CD AM/FM Receiver with MIXTRAX, Bluetooth Dual Phone Connection, USB, Spotify, Pandora, iPhone & Android Music Support, Smart Sync App + Alphasonik Earbuds by Michael Schwegman

I just installed it on my 2001 Ford Sport Trac. The facility wasn't bad. I think without tools it would be very difficult to remove so it was worth a few bucks more. The Scosche dashboard fits perfectly. The Pioneer radio manual was well written and easy to read. The entire installation process took about 4 hours. I haven't done this in about 30 years, so if you're new to this I'd plan on doing it. It took about an hour to solder and verify the correct connection of the wires. I should have just ordered wire shrink wrap from Revain when I ordered everything else. The only thing I think could be better documented in the manual is the Pioneer wiring harness. I found more information about the wiring online. Not every wire is used. Sound, hands-free calling, USB connection - everything is great. I connected my iPad and it automatically started playing my music which was great, I didn't have to fiddle with any menu items to play it on Pioneer or iPad. Setting up Bluetooth for my phone was very easy. The only thing I didn't like about Pioneer was that it gave me the ability to reverse names in my phone book (on Pioneer), which I tried and thought I could switch back. I ended up having to erase the Bluetooth device on the Pioneer and then re-sync the phonebook from the phone. It was easy enough, but I felt like I could have switched it back. I installed the microphone in the bag of the scosche dash kit. I used double sided tape, attached it to the side panel of the bag and faced the driver. This seemed the easiest for me and my family said that they can hear me perfectly with their hands free. I had to drill a hole in the back of the bag a little more to get the plug in. I installed the USB cables just below the radio and heater/air controls in my console tray. Using a small drill bit and increasing the size worked well until I got about a 1/2" drill bit. At that point he tried to cut too much out of the plastic. From there I used my dremel to get about 3/4". to get ones that fit perfectly and looked perfect.I used Tiger glue to keep the connector from falling out when unplugging the USB device so the USB cable is now a permanent part of the car.I only have one of the PAC USBCBL- Bought cables as Pioneer came with a USB cable which gave me 2 cables to connect to Pioneer.I am going back and ordering a second PAC USBCBL cable because the end looks better in my console tray (than the hole it comes out of USB cable sticking out.) Generally I bought a Metra Wiring Harness, PAC USB Cable, USB Pioneer iPod Interface Cable, Scosche Ford Radio Removal Tool and Scosche Dashboard Kit Of course I have everything right now chewed ft and installed so not much use at the moment but so far so good.
