This is my review on the Pioneer AVH-P8400. Unfortunately, this is not really a positive purchase. I can honestly say I am pretty disappointed in Pioneer and this head unit. I am hoping Pioneer gets these issues straightened out and fixed with a firmware update.First, the positive:-This unit really sounded much better than my previous Pioneer Premier F90BT. There was a notable clarity once I switched to it.-I can connect two ipods to it rather than just one.-The G.U.I. was also very appealing.-Not having a bunch of harnesses in the back of the unit was also a plus and made installation a lot easier.-Most of the issues with the head unit appear to be software based, and hopefully will be fixed soon-The screen has a very vivid and clear resolution. It is definitely one of the nicer screens I have seen.-Very quick load up time. Unit is ready to go in seconds from turning the car on.The Negative:-The screen goes dead and does not respond to any touches intermittently. Considering so many features are controlled by touching the screen, this is a bad deal.-If you're using an iphone, the iphone alert sound effects come though when listening to Pandora or the ipod feature from the iphone. Im not sure if it's a head unit issue or a iphone issue, but when driving to music this is annoying.-The GPS apps are garbage. PERIOD.-If you connect the iphone before the Bluetooth connects, it causes all sorts of problems. The Pandora feature does not work, you have to use AppRadio in order to hear Pandora, but AppRadio will also not function properly. If you turn off your car for any reason, you have to disconnect the iphone when you restart it, if the Bluetooth connects while the iphone is already connected to the head unit, then you will have the above mentioned problems.-The CD-IU201S Cable is ridiculously too short. The part of the cable that connects to the iphone is sadly only 2 feet long, which means you have to mount the iphone very close to the unit. I bought an Iphone extension and it caused AppRadio to no longer function. Ridiculous.-My ipod locks up at least 6-10 times a week with this head unit. When I check the ipod after i have disconnected it, it still has the pioneer logo on it and in order for it to get working again i have to do a restart.-This unit produces an insane amount of noise (hissing). Its audible when listening to music or if the unit is on with nothing selected as a source.ALSO!!! Pioneer is aware of the issues with this unit, but has no intention of releasing a firmware update to fix it. Basically, you are on your own. This unit will not be brought to a better standard and it is what it is, unlike the pioneer units in the past which recieved firmware updates to fix problems and issues.Im really saddened by this unit. I have been a loyal pioneer customer for many years. I have gone through 8 Units and this is terrible. I wanted to replace my F90BT with something newer and faster, with a more precise GPS. I originally was considering the AVIC-Z140BH, but I really didn't like that I would have to disconnect my ipod and connect my iphone to use certain features. I am accustomed to connecting my ipod, which has all my music on it, to the head unit and putting it in the glove box and not messing with it anymore. I was hoping for the same with the iphone apps but this is not the car. You have to use the iphone itself to control the iphone apps, with the exception of Pandora. This is dangerous as you have to keep taking your eyes off the road to do this, not to mention the clumsy short cable causing problems with reach.I will say that as just a head unit its great. the major downside to it is the iphone/ipod controls in appmode. also the whole having to wait till bluetooth connects is also annoying. if you do it wrong you have to turn off the car and try again.UPDATE - I am no longer able to find much positive in this purchase. Last night while driving the unit began having volume issues when connected to an iPhone. It also had issues with the iPhone playing music OVER the ipod that was selected. Even after pressing mute the issue was not resolved, as the music continued to play blaring. I am no longer partially satisfied with my purchase and am now considering purchasing another one and getting rid of this one. It has not been helpful.

Having endured the poor bluetooth head unit that came with my Subaru, it was time to upgrade. As GPS is not a selling point to me, why pay $500 more for an equivalent unit with that feature and have to upgrade maps every year or so when any smart phone does the job better?Anyway, it streams bluetooth very well off my droid phone, the ipod connection is great, HD radio is very nice, DVD/CD is very clear and finally people can hear me on the bluetooth.Installing it can be tedious, but it is essentially a computer, but wiring is fine, just take your time.I've put one amp and sub on it, works great too.All the menus are very simple to use, very user friendly.This is certainly worth five stars or more!Update 6-12-12I have had issues with the touch screen freezing up at random. Sometimes it goes days without any issues, other days it happens frequently. I'm only driving a total of one hour a day, so it is frustrating. There are others with the same problem, so I would recommend make sure the seller you purchase from has a strong return policy.The system is still amazing, not going to change my ratings based on this, Pioneer are aware of this, and hopefully it is something as simple as a software update.

Great head unit! I installed this in my 08 Chevy Trailblazer and it fit perfectly. The unit responds instantly with zero lag time. Easy to navigate and change setting using the touch screen. My only complaint is that all of the "app" features require an Iphone or Ipod and I have an android phone. I can still stream via bluetooth but I wish I had all of the same features as the apple users. All in all, this is the best head unit you can get right now and it looks amazing.
