Pioneer DEH-P5000UB Car CD/ MP3 Player

Lots of great features, lists for under $200. 2-line display, 16 characters per line, very nice. 1 complaint, and that (for me) is only minor, as I quickly found a work-around: it supports up to 250 GB USB hard drives (remember to format FAT 32), but only 500 folders and 15,000 files. My CD collection (even in MP3 format) is just under 20 GB, but I have more than 1000 folders and almost 10,000 files. A 250 GB hard drive, crammed full of MP3 files, could easily hold 20,000 folders and 200,000+ files. My work-around: I had an 8 GB flash drive that i was never quite sure why i bought. I am now using that. It won't hold my entire CD collection, but it will hold everything I would likely listen to for a couple of months.

2 more things I would like to see: improved repeat and random capabilities - category, artist, and album, not just track or folder.

Other reviewers have complained about having to buy a separate cable for direct control over not-very-old Ipods. (Only the newest ones have built-in Ipod controls, older ones require spending money for a different cable.) Seems to me, with such limited support, that cable should be included in the box. Or, at the minimum, ordered for free. I don't own an Ipod, but I see their point.

Other than these minor complaints, this is an excellent stereo.

perfect for the price,easy to install ,will recomend.....................................................................................

I bought this for my bass boat I had bought one for my 56 Chevy last year so I knew it was a god product. This one was less than half the price as my old one easy to install great features I-pod plus right in.

I like being able to drive answer my cell phone without having to do anything
but push a button on the remote while staying focused on the road. You really
don't even need to mess with the deck at all, you can control every function
with the remote, you have a wide range of sound adjustments you can make it sound phenominal. The only thing I don't like, when you turn your vehicle off
and the deck shuts off and you are on your phone, your call gets dropped. I bought it primarily for the bluetooth ability, being able to talk on your phone
and hear the person you are talking over your speakers is great, plus the deal
I got on it made it that much sweeter.
