The USB music player controls work flawlessly.even with my new iphone 3G. I can browse my entire library, or just shuffle the whole thing.all while it keeps it charged.There's always room for improvement, but the unit does everything I could ask it to do.Money well spent. I use it with an external Eclipse amp, and being able to turn off the Pioneer's internal amp saves energy. It has great sound that is very customizable. I care much more about sound quality and basic features than flash or bling, which it seems was all you could get in car stereos for a couple years. I've been buying and installing stereos in my cars for over 10 years. This is probably the nicest sounding, and most "intelligent" head unit I've ever purchased. The illumination is nice and mellow.
We have money and would like to receive the respect that our business is valued.Thanks again. I have also been a big fan of amazon, ever since my college days, which was not that long ago, and found the web site GREAT. I bought my first pioneer audio piece well over 8 years ago, and it is still kicking great to this day. In fact, I bought an entire pioneer system, 3 amps, 2 sets of component speakers, 2 double voice coil woofers, an eq, yeh, the whole nine yards, and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I just wished that Amazon shipped to the Caribbean.
I was able to store and recall broadcast frquencies, but I cannot change them once they have been set. I figured out the controls after working with them for a few hours. The worst feature is that I cannot see the display during the day due to sun glare. I am a novice with complex car audio systems. The sound of the Pioneer Premier DEH-P600UB is much better than my old car stereo even though I have the same speakers. I will have to upgrade my iPod to play it on this car stereo.
THE CONTROLS ARE RATHER COMPLICATED, AND IT'S NOT VERY EASY NAVIGATING THE I-POD CONTROLS. THIS IS A GREAT HEAD UNIT, THOUGH I DON'T RECOMMEND A NOVICE BUYING THIS PRODUCT. AN EXPERIENCED USER SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLES, THOUGH.
The display is a marked improvement over before and I can see the channel, time and the song name all at the same time (previously this didn't work right on Pioneer units). This unit is subdued with quiet lighting of the controls. I can put it on random for all 2000 songs. I would rate this with six stars if there were that many as I am that pleased with it.
I also noted that they fixed a major problem - previous units had very bright controls that glared at night. As soon as I installed the unit I realized that this unit was a major improvement over the old unit. Thus it looks really great especially at night. The USB cable works perfectly and controls my son's ipod to boot. I also wanted the USB/Ipod input. The sound is crisp and excellent - it is clearly better than the previous unit. I have a 32GB flash drive in it right now with 93 folders full of music. They solved the "function" problem.
The only negative is that with so many options it can get a bit complex. I bought this to replace my 5 year old Pioneer which sounded OK but they hadn't worked out the Sirius connection right. There is an MP# sound expander which actually seems to work. The graphics available are also tasteful.
