The FH-P8000BT is smartly designed to expand your system, customize your experience, provide superior sound quality and easy operation. Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner Pioneer's legendary Supertuner IIID combines the best of digital and analog tuner technologies to reduce distortion to bring you exceptional FM and AM performance. If you live in an area where reception is weak, you'll hear a big improvement in signal strength. And when you're near tall buildings, Supertuner IIID reduces the effect of multi-path noise, which occurs when the signal is reflecting off of the buildings. MOSFET 50W x4 Amplifier for the Power Hungry Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, delivering power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. And that doesn't just mean a boost in volume: it means that your music will be cleaner at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. Clean, efficient power that will rock your vehicle. For those who'd like a bit more power, three 4V preamp outputs are also included for system expansion (front/rear/sub).

Great Price, Great Features, Legendary Pioneer Sound - A Perfect Purchase May 30, 2009 Jake Justice (Fort Worth, TX - USA) 80 out of 80 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3HHJ8KXWX5X3U This video shows the basic operation of the unit, since it's hard to explain.
The biggest pro for me is the sound. My stock speakers sounded good with the factory head unit, but they sound like brand new high end speakers with the Pioneer.
A close second is the feature set. The iPod integration is the best that I saw in any unit, and it sure beats the axillary input mod kit that I was running beforehand. The sound from the iPod is great. Also keep in mind that it's a USB input, not just an iPod input. Plug in an external hard drive or thumb drive and you're in buisness, too. The addition of the Bluetooth connectivity was a major selling point, and it delivers a great convenience that I would really miss now that I'm used to it. I can leave my phone out of reach (in the trunk even) and I can still answer it if it rings.
The biggest con is the user interface- it does take a bit to learn the ins and outs, but once you do, very few times is it a bother (the 'pause' option is buried in the function submenu, which is annoying, but since the unit automatically pauses the music for incoming / outgoing calls, it's only a problem in, say, drive thru's).
The pros VASTLY outweigh the cons, and the price is far below what I would expect for a unit with this feature set. That gets this unit a 5 Star rating - iPod, Bluetooth, CD, HD & Satellite Radio ready- there really aren't any features left for you to want!
I purchased it with the wiring harness and the dash kit for my 2005 Mazda3 and it looks quite nice. Check out the video!
Great Unit for the Price April 9, 2008 B. Huang 66 out of 66 found this review helpful
Recently purchased an iPhone, so i was looking to upgrade my car's stereo to be able to both use the phone and listen to music. This unit both had ipod connectivity and bluetooth telephone(which my current stereo does not), and is also double din (as is my car). i've recently installed, so i've only had a couple days with it, so this is a first impressions review.
Install: easy and straightforward if you purchase a wiring harness specific to your vehicle (available at retailers such as walmart and crutchfield). it was installed in a 2005 scion tc.
operation: i'll admit, this is not the most simplest of units to operate, and i have to refer to the manual frequently to learn how to perform specific functions (such as saving a pre-set radio station), which is where it lost one star for me. the multi-function dial allows for "agile" maneuverability through the unit's controls though.
USB/IPOD: the unit's USB connectivity allows you to control your ipod (iphone in my case) straight through the unit. allows you to search by album, artist, playlist, etc- just as you would on the ipod itself. it also has the option to change the controls back to the ipod, if thats what you're more comfortable with. it also has an AUX input for other devices you may wish to listen to through the unit.
bluetooth telephone: i paired the unit through my phone, and that was done seamlessly. calls are clear for you, and as far as i know (only used once or twice so far), its clear on the other end as well (i've asked those i've called). the unit allows you to download your contacts from the phone to the unit itself, so you can dial straight off the unit. has recent calls, and a "speed dial" list for you to choose from, in addition to selecting any contact on your phone. has the ability to handle call waiting and refusing calls as well.
other: the unit comes with many audio adjustments (including the 7 channel equalizer- with several presets and 2 custom settings). with the proper adjustments, music sounds great through this unit. You can also "label" CDs, so the album name will display every time you insert that CD. my only complaint is that the display is TOO bright at night, but that can be remedied by the dimmer function (tho doesnt seem to work in my vehicle...not sure why yet), OR, you can turn off the illumination completely, which will re-illuminate if you change a setting (change track, volume, source).
overall, i'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this if you're looking for bluetooth and ipod capabilities, without going into the DVD/Navi arena. the price was too good to pass up!
Great integration with iPhone 3GS running 3.0 and bluetooth A2DP stereo profile, not as lucky with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 June 21, 2009 BB 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I installed this stereo to work with Sirius, an iPod through the USB/iPod connection, miscellaneous items through auxiliary input, bluetooth handsfree, and to stream audio via bluetooth with my iPhone running 3.0 firmware.
CDs and iPod audio sounds wonderful on my car's stock speakers. To my surprise, the bluetooth audio connection sounds just as good. It was very easy to pair, once the A2DP bluetooth profile was made available for iPhone 3.0. Prior to that, pairing with my two different phones was simple. It would pick up a phone conversation as soon as one came in, switching away from whatever other input I was listening to, and then switching back to it once the call had ended - very nice. It will also continue a phone conversation from your phone to the car once you enter the vehicle, or once you exit it will continue the conversation to your phone - also very nice to not have to wait to exit/enter the car.
I see what Pioneer was trying to do with the one-button system to feel like an iPod and I can see why some people were confused, but it didn't take very long to get used to. The display is also very nice, with indicators when bluetooth handsfree and bluetooth stereo are connected.
Amazon's price was almost 20 percent less when I ordered four months ago - it's odd how prices fluctuate.
EDIT: I'm at the 11 month period of ownership with this stereo. In that time period, I've since upgraded to the iphone 3GS model, and the stereo still connects to it without any trouble. Bluetooth pairing, handsfree phone use, and audio streaming all work very well. I've noticed that the audio with my stock car stereo sounded better than with this stereo. I'm not sure if it's because I need to upgrade the speakers as well, but that should be noted.
EDIT: I've just upgraded to the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0. While it paired without any issues just like my iPhone 3GS had, the A2DP stereo bluetooth profile does not seem to be recognized. I'm currently listening to music off my iPhone using the USB connection, but hope to get the A2DP wireless bluetooth profile working with some fiddling.
EDIT: You can stop driving yourself crazy trying to get this stereo to work with your iPhone 4. There is a deeply documented issue with Bluetooth on the iPhone 4. I can't post the link here, but just search the Apple support forums for Bluetooth muffled, and you'll find related info. Bluetooth devices are just not pairing properly with iPhone 4.
BT8000 mixed blessing November 3, 2008 Ron D. Troy (Long Island) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I have a Pioneer BT8000 (with HD) in my 2003 Subaru Forester with the upgraded Subaru speakers and sub woofer. I also added the ipod cable for my daughter.
The good news is; Bluetooth phone capabilities (used with a Motorola V9M) are excellent and well behaved, call quality excellent, radio audio also excellent. The radio switches to phone if a call comes in, switches back afterwards. HD, when you get it, can sound great.
The bad news is that it is very hard to use. There just are not enough controls. Each major control has numerous uses but only one use per control is listed. Setup is very difficult. No on-off switch (function is in another button and hidden). You try to raise the volume and you change the frequency or the preset. Tuner sensitivity on AM is poor at least with the HD tuner. The steering wheel remote is hard to mount, even harder to use without looking at it. Even worse, the manual is one of the worst I've ever gone through. Too many things are made too complicated or are not even covered. The quick setup is even worse.
I'd give this 4 stars if only the documentation were decent.
Top Notch Deck June 27, 2008 C. Griffin (United States) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Seriously, who needs a dvd player in their dash? All you need is a good unit that plays your music, and this one plays it all. It will handle all the standard CD, CDR, mp3, WMA, AAC files along with iPod. The iPod controls are excellent. iPod is the only mp3 player I have tried and I suspect others won't work, at least not well. I was also able to play mp3s from my cell phone via bluetooth. Speaking of bluetooth, cell phone integration is a snap. I'm using a Sony phone with mine and it works perfectly with it. The contacts download to the unit so I never have to look at the phone. I also tried an iPhone and a Samsung SGH-A737. The iPhone worked great but the Samsung would not allow the the contacts to download.
The main reason I chose this one over other double dins is the clean, simplistic look this one has. This is easily the best looking one available. While many cd players of this size can have twenty or more buttons this one has ten plus a center control knob. The knob serves many functions much like an ipod click wheel. The navigation through the menus is not perfect but is still just as good or better than most other units. It has a ton of features to please almost anyone. High pass and low pass filters with sub controls and multiple settings for more complex systems yet it's simple enough for a drop in replacement for a factory radio.
My biggest complaint is the fact you have to buy separate hardware to enable HD radio. This will cost you an extra $80-$100 if you want this feature. It would have been nice to have but I don't think it's worth that much.
