Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I elected to install this radio myself in my wife's Nissan. Since she had a previous Pioneer model installed, I hoped this new one would simply plug into the old harness and pop into the original mount. I was wrong on both counts. Although extremely similar, the mechanical mounts were different, but it didn't take long to replace the mounts. The electrical connectors were totally different, which required me to cut off the old connector and splice in the new one. That wasn't difficult either, but took about 30 minutes to splice the 11 wires into the old harness, after digging out the Nissan manual to confirm the color codes. Total installation took me slightly longer than an hour.
But the really hard part was figuring out how to use the radio. My wife is the primary user of that car and radio, but I glanced at the instructions and they made little sense to me. When she tried to read them, she had the same conclusion. Fortunately, she was able to find some videos on Youtube that explained the operation of the radio. This is the main reason I gave the radio 3 stars for "ease of use". Once my wife went through the videos, it was probably easy to use for her and she might rate it higher.
As far as the performance of the radio is concerned, all I know is my wife loves it and says it works great. I've only been in her car once since I installed it for her and it sounded good to me as well. We've had no issues with it so far, but haven't used the CD player yet. The main reason we bought it was for the USB port to plug her iPod into.
