Congratulations Pioneer, this is a truly phenomenal product.I'm a software and firmware developer, so I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to user interfaces - I know what they're capable of, and I want them to be intuitive enough that I never have to open a manual to find out how to do something; if I actually have to - gasp - read ink on paper, the programmer failed. Pioneer has pleased me a great deal with this product. I will tell you right off the bat that it would have been nice if they'd used a processor that was a little bit faster - the scrolling doesn't glide as well as say an iThing or current Android phone and it does take a few seconds longer to bring up a media list than we've come to expect, but it's not so slow that it could even be called irritating, and the stereo is so much fun to use that you don't wind up thinking about it very often.It's versatile. I have a Touch, an Android phone, a Sirius subscription, music on a USB drive that's always in the car, and, believe it or not, CDs in a visor holder (yeah, I know). This unit makes getting sound out of any and all of them a beautiful experience, and wow, it's got great sound, too - better than the stereo it replaced, which was a pleasant surprise because sound quality was the one thing that wasn't annoying about it.Practically everything they show you on the screen is active (performs a function). If you're listening to your iWhichever and you want to sort your library by artist, tap the artist name that's on the screen. Pick a different song on the album? Tap the artwork. Sort library by song? Tap the song title. It's elegant in its simplicity. You prefer to pick your sorting choice from a list? Pioneer groks you - tap the magnifying glass on the right-hand side of the screen.Sirius is finally seriously easy. I only listened to two comedy stations and two music stations on the previous stereo because the presets were implemented so poorly. The Pioneer has three banks of presets, six channels in each bank. The preset numbers are in a space-saving column on the left - if you can remember what's in each one, tap the number, and if you haven't memorized them yet, tap the little drawer handle and the station names slide in to view. I'd thought that they could have made it a little easier to switch between preset banks (arrows only visible when the drawer is 'out'), then on the way home this evening noticed, center top, that it said "SXM 1" - I'm on to these cats' game of everything needs to do something so I knew that "1" was significant. Tap. Holy bank busters, Batman, now we're on bank 2 and listening to the last station I'd listened to in that bank! In addition to the presets, I take great delight in being able to tap the channel number and type in a new channel using a numeric virtual keypad, and of course you can go up or down one station with thoughtful arrow keys on either side of the station number on the display. I may finally get my money's worth out that blasted service.The first phone call I received actually startled me because, quite frankly, I'd forgotten that I'd paired the phone to the stereo (I'd done it to play with streaming Pandora). The music audio dropped out and I hear this unexpected ringing sound. I look at the stereo, and the telephone control pad has popped up. OH, that's what's going on! Yeah, I'm a bright one all right. The caller had no problem hearing me even though the mic was just loosely coiled around the gear shift waiting for me to get around to mounting it. I of course had no problem hearing him since it was coming through the high quality sound system. The people who call me are going to be very happy with my stereo purchase because I'll finally realize that my phone is ringing (traveling music has always had priority over a cheesy little ringtone!)Pandora, oh you beautiful little trouble-maker you, I hope you people are getting royalties from the iTunes store because you've inspired so many music purchases. I tap the icon on the stereo, the stereo tells that belt-gadget to crank up the Pandora app and I've got my custom tunes going. I am just awash with music sources these days, how can it get any better?Well, it can! Tap that EQ icon, come on, it's beckoning you. OH sweet baby! Virtual 8 band graphic equalizer, useful presets along the bottom and it even remembers two of your very own, that's pure eye candy for a techno-geek!! But wait! Once your vision clears, tap the speaker on the left side of the equalizer. MAMA I'm coming home, fader, loudness, something called sonic center control - these people actually took the time to THINK and give me a function that I can instantly dial in the sound for whether I'm alone or have passengers. Tap the gears - system settings right there, handy as can be.Here's the thing. It's not that I'm so impressed that I can make the sound come out of the right side, or the left, or increase the thump thump. I expect those things from a stereo. It's supposed to make noise, it's supposed to be good sounding noise, and these days it should be able to select the noise from a virtually limitless array of sources.What impresses me is that the team that developed this stereo put real THOUGHT into it. They decided, hey, we've got this 7 inch touch screen, let's take some time and make a big list of everything we can think of to make it do. They thought, well, we can put these settings in a menu called system settings, but it makes sense to ALSO put it ONE touch away from the more common sound controls, which are ONE touch from, uh, the SOUND! We've got room in the upper corner for a clock with date. Instead of burying the function to set the time in some impossible to remember location that will have the user scrambling for a manual, just let the person tap the clock itself and voila, change the time. Instead of setting up the fader and balance as numbers that are plus and minus, how about a little circle that the person can drag around visually to change the sound position.All of this stuff is what makes up what the marketers call your "user experience". This stereo's noise quality is similar to the other stereos on the market in its class. It lets you connect up your other precious noise retrieval gadgets like all of the other stereos on the market in its price range. But at a level unmatched by any other stereo I've seen to date, this stereo's remarkable myriad of functions is laid out in a truly inspired, intuitive, and fun fashion making it a great user experience. They did it right.

There is a known issue with this unit , when installed, having a direct conflict between the SiriusXM SXV200v1 and the Metra AXXESS AWSC steering wheel control interface. When you plug in both units into the Pioneer Head unit, the Sirius will not be a recognized Source. When you unplug the AXXESS AWSC, the SiriusXM tuner will appear? Consider an alternate Steering wheel interface if you intend to buy SiriusXM..

I've had very good luck with Pioneer products in the past, so when this was recently introduced; I purchased it for my car. I subscribe to SiriusXM, so I added that option as well. This is a phenomenal looking, as well as an exceptionally well performing receiver. It definitely adds some excitement to your driving experience and is far and away a major upgrade to the receiver found in most new cars. It comes with an intuitive app control, as well as an easy to understand touchscreen interface. The DVD screen resolution is superb. Here are some of its features:General features: DVD/CD receiver with internal amp ~ 14 watts RMS CEA-2006/50 peak x 4 channels 7" motorized touchscreen with multiple angle adjustments Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming Built-in HD Radio tuner MIXTRAX Pandora Internet radio control AppRadio Mode for smartphone integration Five customizable display colors and 112 key panel illumination choices Fits double-DIN dash openings Remote controlAudio/video features: Plays audio/video content from CDs, DVDs, and USB memory devices 8-band graphic equalizer with 7 preset EQ curves High and low-pass filters Advanced Sound Retriever Auto-EQ equalizes for your car interior automatically (optional mic required)Expandability: Built-in audio iPod control ~ Pioneer's optional adapter required for viewing video content, Pandora control, and AppRadio mode Playback and control of Android media files Compatible with SiriusXM satellite radio tuner ~ Highly recommended Inputs: rear A/V and USB inputs, rear-view camera input Outputs: video output, 6-channel preamp outputs (4-volt front, rear, sub-woofer)In AppRadio Mode; you can launch and control compatible iPhone apps from the face of the receiver, enabling you to receive a variety of music, navigation, social media, and other apps at your command. Pioneer's CD-201S cable is required.Built-in Bluetooth: Hands-free calling with your compatible phone, plus the ability to wirelessly stream and control music from your phone or other Bluetooth devices.Built-in HD Radio tuner: CD quality FM broadcasts and exceptional AM reception. You can tune into multiple channels on the same frequency, for more entertainment choices.Optional Sirius/XM satellite radioAdvanced touchscreen controls: Touch Slide technology offers greater control of receiver functions.The AVH-X5500BHS works perfectly with your smartphoneYou can connect your iPod or iPhone to Pioneer's USB input and access your playlists with the receiver's controls, aided by tools like Alphabet Search and Link Search. Many Android phones support the Pioneer Connect app, which lets this receiver access music files when your device is plugged in via USB.You can manage your Pandora account from the touchscreen by connecting your iPhone to the receiver with Pioneer's CD-201S cable. Android users can enjoy the same functionality through a Bluetooth connection. In addition; you can also play all your CDs, DVDs, discs full of MP3 or WMA music, and USB storage devices loaded with files.The Pioneer MIXTRAX feature creates a DJ-like experience with content from your iPod, iPhone, or Android. Between songs it provides variable-color lighting pulses timed with the beat of the music.The receiver's appearance can be changed to match your dash by choosing from five display colors and 112 key panel illumination options.The receiver's 7" WVGA screen incorporates higher-resolution imaging capabilities than most mobile A/V receivers, so it plays DVDs and other video content with bright, clear detail when you're parked. You can keep your passengers entertained during long road trips by sending video from the receiver to a rear-seat screen. You'll be able to view video content from your iPod or iPhone (video playback not available with iPhone 5) with the addition of Pioneer's CD-IU201S cable. For safety, you can plug a rear-view camera into the receiver and it will show you what's behind you when you shift into reverse. Definitely a nice feature.The receiver comes with an 8-band equalizer. It also comes with three pairs of 4-volt preamp outputs making it easier to connect external amplifiers.In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.You also have the ability to add the Pioneer AVIC-U220 GPS navigation system to the receiver, however at $399; it's a costly option.I would not recommend doing the installation yourself, unless you're experienced at this. I attempted to install my last receiver and ended up causing damage to both the receiver and the dashboard.The clarity of the sound, the crispness of the screen and the multiple features of this unit are phenomenal. There are more expensive units for sale, but in my opinion; this one provides all of the features that you could possibly want in a high-end receiver.
