Pioneer DEH-P900R

Pros: Looks
Cons: Conventional remote

Hi,

This is to tell everybody that this set is simply the best in it's class & gives a very rich look to the car one has. Altough it is a bit on the higher cost side.The display is really the best and as everybody is aware that Pioneer is...

Pros: All in one unit capable of almost anything you need for quality sound
Cons: It does cost a lot...but, you get a lot

Well, to start off let me tell you that I have been involved with car audio for many years and I have seen and heard a lot of different things. To state it clearly and to the point.....this is one of the best head unit's I have ever seen or heard. Just...

Pros: Many useful features such as a 13-band graphic EQ. It also has 3 sets of 6.5 volt RCA pre-outs
Cons: There are no RCA inputs

I recently bought the Pioneer DEH-P900r. After months of waiting for my head unit I finally got it. I had every single part of the system except the most important part! When I first turned it on my eyes lit up as the amazing Organic EL display showed...

Pros: Chock full of ammenities. Good wattage for regular speakers. Awesome EQ. Cool display.
Cons: Cheesy remote, buttons and setup not for the novice.

Bought the unit for $500 in Summer of 2000. Replaced my older Alpine headunit and Pioneer graphic EQ with this unit. As usual Pioneer Premier is top notch! Tons of features, one of the first organic EL displays ever made. Built in EQ was a pleasure to work with. Built in Auto-EQ is better suited for stock stereo speakers. High voltage RCA outputs were a nice bonus. Owned until Nov. 2002. Sold car with headunit in place, still running strong as of today.
Only complaint was the buttons on the remote weren't easy to make adjustments with. Needed more useful buttons. Didn't like preset buttons that doubled as function buttons.
