    Same as everybody else...
    Nice setup Chuck. I have to replace mine as it's junk, just not sure what to buy as I'm a complete novice when it comes to anything audio. Research, research and more research.

    Good units, have a pioneer in mine. But wanting to change. The sun washout is pretty bad.
    What I mean by that is when the sun is out and how high up the stereo sits makes the screen hard to see.

    I run that head unit in my van and love it. I've found 1 downsides since having it. Bluetooth range is only maybe 6 feet (which very rarely is an issues) but if you want to listen to the radio outside of the vehicle you'll have to live without your phone.

    Well so much for this Pioneer head unit !!:rant:, even after a firmware update this radio takes 2-3 min to power up :facepalm:. Start up the truck and it literally takes that amount of time until the screen powers up or moves into its programmed setting

    The stereo shop that installed it is getting me a new radio next week !!!
