Advice for new stereo

kniwolf · 11-30-2010, 06:13 AM

As far as head units go, I just installed a Pioneer P4200DVD (cost $330 from Amazon with a coupon code). HU is great by itself, but the bluetooth adapter (BTB-200) that Pioneer sells is absolute crap. If you want good bluetooth integration, definitely buy a HU that has it integrated in.

Bluetooth is for sure the weak link in a lot of these units... i've listened to a bunch and to me none or as good as a direct unit from factory...

either in calling quailty or playing music back..

ford sync or even the gm products for bluetooth are alot better.

well there may be some good units out there with good bluetooth units...
just do your homework... it just seems most of the call quailty sucks..

i know for sure on my HU the playback quailty is a lot better when i use the iphone usb cable over the bluetooth.. luckily the jvc allows full control of the music from the head unit
