Ford Focus Car Stereo In-Dash Double DIN
Ford Focus Car Stereo In-Dash Double DIN
This head unit (HU) two days before going on a
10-hour road trip with my wife and kids. I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey
Touring (without nav system) and my factory HU would skip on CDs a lot
and didn't have bluetooth or any iPod interface - no way I was going to
drive that long with just a couple CDs. So I got this HU, a Metra
wiring harness, a PAC SOEM-4 converter (Honda Odyssey has the factory HU
output to an amp in a funky way), a Metra antenna adapter, an Axxess
steering wheel control adapter, and a Scoche double-DIN dash kit. End
result - a big bundle of wires and adapters hanging off the back of the
HU. And I'm happy to say there was plenty of room in the dash cavity to
fit it all.

On to this HU. I literally got it hooked-up just
before we threw our bags in the van and started driving. With no time
to read the manual, I just started using it and it was actually quite
easy to figure out. The menu for setting up options was straightforward
(and the first thing I changed was the crazy light show - more on that
later). Pairing it with my iPhone 4s was easy. My wife also paired it
with her iPod Touch. I was playing music from my iPhone while also
using it for GPS voice nav - no problem. Then we switched to my wife
playing music while I was using my iPhone for nav - the HU would play
her music and my iPhone would cut in for voice nav as-needed. Pretty
slick.

I have a factory 7 speaker system - 4 speakers, 2
dash tweeters and a sub. Sound quality is as good as with my factory
HU. I was really concerned I'd notice a difference, especially given
the amount of junk that I had to wire between the factory harness and
the HU harness, but no problems whatsoever.

This brand new unit out from Pioneer is awesome and does everything that
I wanted my new stereo to do. Bluetooth streaming, hands free calling,
front usb for ipod control, easy to use menu, and good sound. I didn't
even have to read the menu to figure how to set up everything-it's
extremely easy.

Bluetooth is great and connects automatically when i
enter the car so i can just leave my iphone in my pocket and play the
music from it. The sound quality is definitely better through the usb
port though.

The whole unit is a little bright because of the light bars
on the side but I think that's what makes the unit look really cool at
night and unique. All the different colors for the display and keys are
great so you can match anything.
