    The worst product for your money, I do not recommend it to anyone.

    Having suffered for several months with this misunderstanding, having sold and crossed himself, I took out my old Pioneer DEH-4400 from the mezzanine, which has the same functionality, but with a normal volume “twist”, and without unnecessary whistles / fakes.

    Pros
    • Hardly ever. It seems that positive reviews here are written either by Pioneer employees, or by users who have never tasted anything sweeter than radish. Well, if you think very carefully, then a fairly reliable bluetooth connection with the phone, a good mount for the phone, but there is a nuance (more on that below).
    Cons
    • This GU (receiver) is one big flaw, let's start: 1. Volume buttons. I hope there will be a special place in hell for the engineers who came up with this. These buttons cannot instantly change the volume level, the ATT / Mute mode (emergency volume reduction) turns on only after 5 (!) seconds after pressing and holding the volume down button. You won’t be able to quickly turn up the volume either: the button does not understand a long press, and you have to poke it 15-20 times in a row, like a fool. Cherry on the cake - when adjusting the volume, it is not easy to miss the signal source select button, but very easy, about 1 time out of 10! 2. There are no "iron" buttons for saving and selecting radio stations, you have to search for a station by frequency each time. 3. The official application is a complete failure: crooked, buggy, with a clumsy interface, not very functional, wildly annoying with its launch every time the receiver connects to the phone, and also an unswitchable message that (every time the application is launched, yes) to not be distracted while driving, but most importantly - regularly resetting the speaker settings for unknown reasons. Moreover, if you demolish this under-application, then IOS will still carefully suggest installing it with each connection. In short, quiet horror, application developers - in the same boiler with engineers) 4. Phone holder - seems to be reliable, changes the position of the phone from portrait to landscape, BUT on my car it blocks the emergency button and interior heating deflectors, which causes the phone to heat up and turn off. And yes, they could build wireless charging there to get rid of the wires.

    I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

    In general, the product leaves a positive impression both in terms of sound and its capabilities, BUT there is some nuance everywhere. That is, the idea is great, but the implementation requires improvements at almost every stage. But even so, the product is more functional than other 1din bricks without such a dense work with a smartphone. From myself, I can give advice to buy a flash drive without a case, remove the plug for the USB port (3 bolts on the back panel, take out the contents and…

    Pros
    • 1. There is sound, and it's not bad. After the regular Toyota radio of the 10s, it feels like I also changed the speakers. 2. The main plus is working through a smartphone, that is, in fact, you get an Android radio tape recorder, but at the same time you can throw all the sounds of what is happening on the smartphone to the car's speakers, 3. As a consequence of the previous paragraph, any online music services work, but are controlled by the radio controls. And even FB tracks in the shell of the radio desktop interface. Launched, left, then everything switches from the radio. 4. Setting the sound from the smartphone. 5. The ability to navigate folders on a flash drive through a smartphone screen, which means we can create entire directory trees. 6. The ability to put your own screen saver / photo and adapt the colors of the radio to it, creating the impression that everything is one inseparable system. 7. Very high-quality speakerphone to the salon and the ability to receive a call with the button from the radio, which is very convenient tactile when you do not need to point your finger at the smartphone screen. Very good feedback about the microphone from the interlocutors. 8. The ability to select a navigation system from a smartphone + navigation is called by a button on the panel. 9. Dash mode, in fact, on the smartphone desktop you have a magnetic panel with speed and compass, clock, current music activity and service icons at the bottom. Desktops scroll left/right to go either to the settings or the menu (selecting radio stations in the radio\folders in USB mode, etc.) 10. Easy to install. Removable frame, socket, socket frame, ICO. In short, he will stick himself anywhere without dancing with tambourines. 11. The smartphone mount can be pulled forward extremely far, so even if the slot is recessed into the torpedo or there is a visor over the slot, the mount can still be pulled out and the smartphone will be placed vertically.
    Cons
    • 1. Smartphone pairing is random. Sometimes everything just happens. Sometimes you have to open an app and wait. Most often, you need to open the application, then hold down the pairing button with a smartphone on the radio, and only then they will become friends. 2. Search for preset radio stations. In short, you can remember 6 stations, but when you turn on the last one works for you. The rest, if you want to switch immediately, will be EACH for 5-10 seconds. If you don't rush, they will load in the background themselves in a minute. But right away, no. 3. Periodically, the analog application control buttons from the radio panel "disappear", that is, you press the navigation, but it is not called. You need to press the same icon, but on the smartphone screen. 4. Volume buttons are a failure. Not only is there no knob and you need to press up / down, but you can’t pinch it either. That is, to change by 15 units, you need to poke the button 15 times. For a car system, this is stupidly not safe. 5. The radio interface completely does not provide for operation without a smartphone. Something can be done, but 90% of the functionality is inside the smartphone. And the most offensive of all is that there are many basic functions that must be performed from the regular socket. 6. Album and track covers for mp3 files are not loaded at all. In the photo of the radio and its reviews, the covers burn beautifully. Uploaded 10 gigs of music with cover tracks. But on the slave table there is an empty frame with a note icon. The same goes for playback sources. It was already possible to draw a radio, smartphone, BT in the cover field, and not an empty frame. 7. In Dash mode, the speedometer on the smartphone screen after 40-50km/h stably shows the speed 10km lower than the real one. And this is not a smartphone GPS jamb, because. other applications show the speed correctly. 8. Voice control - complete dumb. Instead of calling the navigator or calling through the voice recorder in 200 attempts, it's easier to say OK Google and do the same instantly.

    The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

    I bought a used radio tape recorder on ebay for 4500. Now there are a huge number of them, take it - do not be shy) For that kind of money, this is an excellent budget offer. Good sound, lots of settings and easy to install. I like the speed of connecting to a smartphone, thanks to the application, the connection takes a few seconds, there are no problems with disconnections. Externally, it looks like a solid device.

    Pros
    • Sound Appearance Application Easy to install Holder for your mobile phone
    Cons
    • -

    Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

    So the secret is simple! Get this recorder! We buy used phone Xiaomi Note 2 and you have a fast non-braking radio with an Olled screen! Movies please! Youtube and other delights without problems! And that radio tape recorder 7t bodies 6t and you are happy !

    Pros
    • Yes, it's just a turbo radio! The sound is great. If the brain is there and the management is clear! I don't understand how I didn't know about these things before!
    Cons
    • There are flaws and there are many. She doesn't cook, she doesn't wash, she doesn't kiss her master's hand.

    Good product, not disappointed.

    1. The result is a device around which you need to dance and adapt, but you don’t expect this from such a utilitarian device as a radio tape recorder in the 21st century. 2. There is not enough start / pause button, but there are several completely useless ones, like switching to messages on a smartphone - why is this at all? . mute - a very long press on the volume down, too long. Dictation as a device function is completely ridiculous.

    Pros
    • Beautiful. Convenient holder. Speakerphone. Good sound settings in the app. From regular speakers can make a good sound.
    Cons
    • The app is a failure. 1. Constantly loses connection. The connection itself does not restore. APP connection cannot be used. The only bluetooth or iPod option. They fly out, but connect back. 2. Very, very annoying warning screen, on which you need to press OK before using it. On OK figs you will get. Because he does it while driving - it flies out - this has a very negative effect on safety. This is nonsense, against all logic. 3. It's very annoying that the application itself starts when the ignition is turned on, but not immediately. You are already starting to set up the route - and here once, at first it asks - is it possible to allow the device to launch the application, then a black screen pops up, it takes a very long time to load, then only this warning appears. 4. Periodically forgets sound settings. Once a month, get ready to tune the sound again. 5. Application design in the spirit of "my first clipart". Terrible.

    Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

    good device in this price range. Its pros: Excellent sound even without a processor, convenient phone mount, price Different cons: there is no way to connect an IR remote control . I solved the problem, now there is, for those who are interested, write, I will tell you and show you how to do it, everything works fine .

    Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

    An interesting replacement for radio wave converters for cars whose regular radio does not match ours. I can’t say anything about the external (unusual) appearance, Hidden installation in the bowels of the car))) Some pros: Manage all settings from your smartphone. Good FM radio reception. Hands free. Some cons: Sound levels are preset to the minimum except perhaps the radio. And if it is not difficult to raise the volume when using hands-free, then I still don’t know what to do with the…

    Great product, best quality.

    Having figured out the radio tape recorder, the trip in the car becomes more pleasant and the home machine site pioneer rus detailed description in the form of pictures, + in the application itself, what goes to the radio tape recorder is well synchronized with the mafon and phone and there are a lot of settings for you. In general, a top 👍

    I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

    I advise those who listen to music only from smart via bluetooth. Very convenient, you can not even take the smart out of your pocket. There were no problems with the blade of the connection, as they say. Some pros: Good sound, lots of settings - filters, delays, 31-band equalizer, etc. Some cons: Curve software from the developer. I downloaded an earlier version 2.9, while the most adequate version of the program . It is not convenient to adjust the volume, you need a twist. It would be nice

    pleased with the speakerphone. I usually travel alone. I can hear very well from the car. echo no. no noise from the street. management of . Music and . Radio is extremely crooked. Required - a serious improvement of the application. Its pros: I studied "balalaika" for several days. I get everything I need. It is necessary to read, master . the quality is excellent, the instruction is rubbish, experience is everything! Has some cons: app fail! the idea of ​​\u200b\u200b"cradle - removable…

    The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

    Despite the shortcomings described above, I am completely delighted with this device. Firstly, it allows you to open any music file on external media in three or four clicks. Calling the navigator with just one button. Quickly switch between navigation, phone, music and radio. When connecting the device, it is necessary to check the yellow and red wires so that they strictly correspond to the scheme, otherwise there will be inevitable bugs and dumps of the smartphone from the radio. Be sure to…

    Pros
    • Revolutionary concept of symbiosis of a smartphone and a car receiver, sound quality, an abundance of settings, the ability to play content from a smartphone without taking it out of your pocket, a full-fledged hands-free system with an external microphone, support for an external remote control, a convenient phone holder.
    Cons
    • The user manual is not only incomplete, but also capable of misleading the user. Storing radio stations in random order is only possible from a smartphone. Not all memorized radio stations can be switched using the buttons or from the remote control. There are some minor bugs in the Smart Sync app. Voice control does not work, although it is stated. The track can be paused only from the application. The volume on the receiver is regulated only discretely by one keystroke.

    How could such a bad product be made?

    I took the business's bait and it backfired on me. Only for the sake of ads, everything functions perfectly. To begin, this connection is extremely slow, even the Chinese (in the pejorative sense of the word) radio tape recorder is quicker. The application includes a lot of unnecessary information and is designed to be as confusing as possible. Connection to the application is going to be its own independent topic. In reality, there is a certain magical quality to it. But, while being able to…

    • I took the business's bait and it backfired on me. Only for the sake of ads, everything functions perfectly. To begin, this connection is extremely slow, even the Chinese (in the pejorative sense of the word) radio tape recorder is quicker. The application includes a lot of unnecessary information and is designed to be as confusing as possible. Connection to the application is going to be its own independent topic. In reality, there is a certain magical quality to it. But, while being able to detect the device, the application will not allow a connection to be made (although, when using Bluetooth, everything will function normally). These dances including a tambourine can take up to an hour of your time, but in the end, nothing will work. If the application is still linked, you won't be able to disable it even if you try, which is a little like starting all of hell over again. It turns out that the location of the controls was designed to be as inconvenient as possible; not only do the buttons for switching tracks and adjusting the volume face opposite directions from one another. Because of this, there is still no pause button (although there are a lot of buttons that do nothing), and the volume can only be adjusted by pressing it multiple times quickly (you can't hold it down and keep holding it until it reaches the desired level). The concept is quite sound; however, in order to make it work, there need be some trimming done first. Make system settings through phone. But the trailblazer executed the plan in the most inefficient manner conceivable. Don't throw away any more of your hard-earned cash on this vile radio, that's my recommendation.
    Cons
    • A lengthy affiliation to BT Raw through the Additional button (navigator, sms, voice assistant) No pause button Rather than using a knob, the volume can be adjusted using the buttons. The USB port detracts from the design, and it would be preferable if there was a wire on the reverse side.

    Not everything is so bad, but there are disadvantages.

    In general, you are free to make use of it, and the concept in and of itself is really intriguing. But while the plan is being carried out, it will be wet. Would not make this purchase again. Even though it is evident that there are a lot of left reviews and custom positive evaluations, the marketing policy of the company is still something that I do not approve of. Well, I was fooled and ended up purchasing it, but in the future I won't put any stock in true reviews either. Pros: Handy phone…

    I was surprised by the quality for this price.

    Simple, not expensive, high-quality, convenient, with good functionality. Satisfied with all money. Worked for 1.5 years without any problems. Once I changed the firmware from the official site, without any problems. Changed as a new one came out. With all sorts of prolozhda, digmas and other Chinese crafts can not be compared. There is, of course, good China, but it also costs well.

    Pros
    • Simple, both to install and to configure. Minimalism in style, a convenient holder for a smartphone, a high-quality microphone, a conversation through the radio tape recorder is pleasant, clear, the interlocutor hears well. There are many settings for those who like to tinker. For those who love simplicity, a separate menu and simple settings. The sound is clear and soft. The backlight adjusts to your backlight color or any other color and brightness accordingly too.
    Cons
    • There are disadvantages, of course. The first is rattling buttons, it is solved by disassembling the panel and installing thin foam rubber 1-2 mm and there are no more buttons grumbling. The second is not a very resistant coating of the buttons, it is erased. There is no pause or mute button. The third is too glossy coating of the entire panel.

    A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

    Has some pros Everything is awesome. Convenient application. Sets quickly into place. The microphone in the kit is good, installed on the sun visor.

    I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

    Pros: Smartphone holder - very convenient! Sound! The Pioneer speakers (4 pcs.) finally sounded. Sticky Bluetooth and rich customization with the Pioneer Smart Sync app. Its cons: Unusually after push-button radio. The microphone is remote, it is difficult to decide where to hook it so that the cord is not visible.

    Could not be worse! Waste of money.

    I fell for the bait of marketing. Everything works well only in commercials. Firstly, this is a very long connection, even the Chinese (in the bad sense of the word) radio tape recorder works faster. The application is as confusing as possible, a lot of superfluous. A separate topic is the connection of the application. It's actually something of a mystic. The application can detect the device, but for some reason it refuses to connect (at the same time, everything works in the bluetooth mode…

    Pros
    • Design Sound at a good level Sound settings
    Cons
    • Long BT connection Raw by Extra buttons (navigator, sms, voice assistant) No pause button Adjusting the volume with buttons and not a knob. Usb spoils the appearance, it would be better if there was a wire on the back side.
