  1. KenrickD

    I love it for the price awesome. It is easy to operate

  2. ThomasD

    Loved my purchase, I use the touchscreen features a lot and is way better than the fm/am radio that has no touchscreen

  3. Happycoustmer

    Nice stereo only one I could find with a CD player

  4. JpzthePassenger

    Excellent product and price! Looks great and has awesome features built in.

  5. user668465

    Awesome product for the price, I put this in my 98 Volvo S70 and it really brought a modern touch to the car. Having blutooth in a classic is awesome

  6. PatriciaS

    I love this car stero. It’s very computer friendly. It brighten up the car and the audio is vicious. The only negative is the beeping for the signals and opening the car door is loud.

  7. GilbertM

    Can’t go wrong with a pioneer best radio for the money

  8. MarieK

    Love this radio! I didn’t want one that mirrored my phone. So this was actually perfect for me. It connects my phone through blue tooth and i get to play my amazon music as well as listen to radio. My satellite could be hooked back up but i didn’t want it too. And it plays dvd’s and cd’s wich i think is awsome. I am still figuring it out. But i love it

  9. James

    Best upgrade I’ve done. Airplay works great. No cords needed. Highly recommend.

  10. PatH

    I am please with the pioneer black blue tooth digital media receiver. I find the media receiver is easy to operate. Best Buy was very helpful in explaining how to operate the media receiver.

  11. Harry66

    Purchased this unit about a month ago as an open box. Was in like new condition but missing remote. Fine, i never use them anyway. Installed myself and set up was really easy. Lot of customizations available for backgrounds, illumination, sound and Home Screen. Lot of newer Pioneer units don’t have these features and are kind of boring. Backup camera works great. Sound is amazing. Plays dvds and cds. Playing dvds is a pain because you have to hook up a eire to your parking break. Waste of time because you’re not going to be watching dvds mutch in your car. Overall i was satisfied with my purchase but ended up returning it due to no Carplay and missing the remote because it should of been included.

  12. thunderbird

    Wouldn’t work in my suv so I had to return to find one that would fit.

  13. JimH

    Put in new stereo and you cant even tell. Rear camera word grest too

  14. Unknown

    ur service sucks so does ur manager dont know how.

  15. PhillipC

    Love this stereo and all it’s features. Especially for the price!

  16. JasonR

    This radio is great sounding and very easy to use. It has a backup camera capability, blue tooth, apple play, and GPS ready.

    Great purchase

  17. SamuelP

    Radio still has POOR am fm reception even after the amplified antenna

  18. Zoddan269

    First it’s a good stereo by Pioneer, great adjustable options. The software has fallen due to 3rd party apps disappearing from the Pioneer line. Waze is no longer available (per. Waze,) no Androidauto, or carplay. I find that I wish i had kept my older model. Being able to have options for a car stereo is why I use Pioneer products. I will keep this unit but I’m afraid it will be my last

  19. WilliamS

    Very easy to figure out works great would buy again!

  20. bobup

    Great stereo. Plays movies too. Got the backup camera installed too. Makes hooking up my boat easy peazy.

  21. user546858

    Great product.I been riding blasting this radio and it was a great price.

  22. LafenusJ

    I don’t like the extra security on the dvd player because my car has an issue with the parking brake and it made it impossible to be able to watch movies on it without me having to buy a on/off toggle switch from Amazon. I got it to work but what a pain

  23. MichaelS

    I absolutely love the capabilities of this head unit. Cd, dvd, radio, bluetooth, microphone, usb and even a remote control. I coupled it with Pioneers backup camera and I have no complaints.

  24. RonaldH

    Great fit, excellent sound quality. I have many cds do love that it has a cd player built in. Not many do anymore.

  25. David

    Easy to install.. very good quality.. alot of nice features as well

  26. RaulG

    Upgraded car receiver to this. Love how it automatically finds the strongest stations to preset. Added a back up camera and it is crystal clear. Great for Bluetooth. Best buy did install.

  27. BarryF

    My daughter loves her new pioneer radio. It has great features and the navigation is compatible with her I phone.

  28. ErnestL

    Has not been installed yet scheduled for install in two weeks

  29. acetx

    Purchased this cause it has a CD player also …also disappointed in best buy store not offering installation , now I got find and pay someone to install it

  30. DavidB

    Good service installed properly I would recommend it to anyone

  31. Rico

    this particular radio was a nightmare for the BB technician to install, no back up camera connection and the phone connection is garbage! Someone made a big, big mistake saying this radio fit my car! The BB
    technician did his best with what he had!

  32. FranciscoG

    Looks and sounds excellent it has alot of features i would definitely recommend

  33. bigweeY28

    not apple car play ready
    sucks as far as compatibility goes
    you have to use clunky third party apps and software to do anything
    sucks not worth it

  34. BrianW

    Love this product, its easy to use and was very easy to install. The best buy employee was very helpful in choosing which product was right for what i wanted

  37. TheRaz

    As advertised. Great deal for the money. Should have bought it long time ago

  38. GregoryO

    Best buy refused to cancel order and would only accept a return if $50 was paid to join Total Rewards program. 0 stars for fraud.

  39. FrankHumphries

    Works great has a clear crisp sound and the dvd player plays great.

  40. Nicetv

    I upgraded my old car stereo and this is very nice !

  41. user259373

    Good price as described for open box discounted item.

  42. TimothyS

    Great product! Pioneer has always been top notch in electronics technology for home and automotive. This multimedia unit does more than i can grasp compression of to operate some functions but that does not affect the easy operation of the functions i do use. And great price for its amount of technology.

  43. snooper1415

    Pioneer – 6.8″ Bluetooth® Digital Media (DM) Receiver is impressive. It does everything.

  44. MichaelH

    The features are easy to navigate and respond quickly. The
    microphone has excellent audio qualities with its noise cancelling feature.

  45. Pattidisappointed

    I bought this car stereo in August of 2023. In September this car stereo started draining my battery. I went back to Best Buy installation team and they gave me an appointment for January 1 2024. I made the appointment however nothing was done to retifiy the situation. I have to turn the car radio off before I get out of the car so it doesn’t drain my battery. They said this car radio was compatible with my 2013 Chevy Impala however it drains my battery. I left my original car stereo with this installation team but I wish I had taken it back.

  46. JessicaR

    Nice addition to my truck. My original went out so this was a nice replacement.

  47. HaroldP

    Very satisfied,great customer service,,,,,,,,,,,,,
