Does anybody have any experience with this headunit? It looks pretty nice and its made by Pioneer so its gotta be nice.

Gimme some reviews so I can make a decision, thanks guys!

i Had a deh-p900 I think it was or something like it. best stereo I ever owned and I sold it to my brother about a yr ago and is still works great. Awesome sound and it had the screen savers and a bunch of other crap on it to.

Fink

Yeah...I've always heard great things about Pioneer...I am coming from the world of Alpine and Infinity. I will probably be sticking with Infinity but Pioneer is looking more and more interesting to me so I am gonna try something a little different.

More comments?

After some surfing I found a site that was full of reviews for it and everybody said it was awesome, they said it took some reading of the manual to figure out all the controls but after that they said it was awesome!

This is the first step in getting my system setup, I'm pumped!

Thanks for the help dwh!

We have that unit at work. I definately like it, but if I had to buy one I'd probably opt for the dehp-7700mp instead. The only thing the mp80 has over the 7700 is the 60wattx4 (yeah right) and the 3 pairs of 5v RCAs. Obviously the latter is far more important to me. Fit and finish of our 7700 is also much better than the 80. Sonically, they are indistinguishable, both are i-Pod adapter ready, both Siruis and XM ready, both have nice sound controls.

However I dont believe either has time correction like my alpine cda-9835. Of course a 600 dollar deck better have EVERYTHING! LOL

But the 80 is definately a good deck, you will like it!

I got it and I love it! Looks great, controls are great, and it makes my factory setup sound aftermarket...enough so that I am going to wait on the amp and components for a few more weeks as I've got a couple jobs coming up that will make my emotional breakdown after typing my credit card number a little easier on me.

Thanks for the help Bumpin', I was gonna go with an Alpine, but this one was on sale and the only one that I would have gotten would have been the 9835 or the 9855 and that just made me kringe (cringe?) when I saw the price tag and with shipping and all of that.

Anyway, I think I made a good decision!

Too bad the site I got my 9833 from went under since I got mine Alpine for $320 shipped and they had the 9835 for under $400 shipped.

Agreed, 600 msrp is insane on a deck, but thats what they come in at. Thank God for my accomidation at CC...LOL (mom used it to beat down Sound Abuse a half mile up the road)

my friend has one. its a really REALLY nice looking headunit. very easy to use, considering the one rotary knob. very nice imaging (on the screen) and very nice sound quality. the specs say 27 rms i think, but it pushes more than that. the volume control goes up to 60 which is also the max output, and its still clear up to about 30 or so.... overall i really like it. i too own a pioneer headunit, and it works wonderful. i am definitely a pioneer supporter!

Bumpin, you work at Circuit City? It's a good place to work, I worked there for four years and I'm getting ready to go back after they review my application...should be going in as Roadshop manager.

I'm pumped!

I'm gonna feel like an idiot if CC actually stands for something else...but anyway!

Yuppers! The single beef I have though as a product specialist is, why is it that when I put the mobile department at 200+% of budget in volume and 150% of budget in cityadvantage by myself that my manager gets a raise and I get nothing? I mean I understand rewarding the managers for keeping their associates doing well but the associates should have some incentive as well. Heck if I got to keep 10% of cityadvantage sales, NO ONE would leave my departement without cheese...LOL

(moot point now after today I'm now an installer instead of a product specialist )

Good luck on getting in on management! If you dont mind me asking, how much do they pay roadshop managers?

Fink

Yeah, the whole CA awards system is kind of screwed up...I would guess they're going to change it seeing as how a lot of product specialists are having the same complaint.

I'm not really sure about the salary yet, I'm talking to the Store Director tomorrow about it and we'll see what happens.

I used to get a whole crap load of cheese on orders but some people are just set on spending extra money for the coverage and on speakers...you cant beat it! If you blow em we replace em I just dont get it man!

Good luck bein an installer!

I actually almost bought one of these two days ago. But the store didn't have the mounting kit that puts a pocket where my cassette player is now, so i didn't. I just bought a blaupunkt bremen mp74 instead. A better choice I think.

I just installed mine today, and I'm loving it. Bought my 4Runner used and it had a JVC in it and who ever instaled it cut the factry harnes, but no biggie. I'll post a pic later. Right now it is set for 40w but I wil prob switch it to 60w. As far as I know I still have the factory speakers? I need to see what's behind my door panels I guess.
