   Excellent Upgrade, March 16, 2012

   This review is from: Pioneer AVH-P2400BT Car DVD Player – 5.8″ Touchscreen LCD Display – 16:9 – 480 x 240 – 200 W RMS – iPod/iPhone Compatible – Double DIN (Electronics)

   The XM tuner in my RAV4 had bombed out so I went looking for an upgrade. Did not intend to upgrade this much but am glad I did. Happy to report the receiver displays 4 lines of info for XM (with Pioneer GEX-P920XM XM tuner). The touch screen works wonderfully and it is easy to navigate to all the options. My Sony mp3 Walkman was immediately found with Bluetooth and displays all song info on screen. Lots of sound and video options available to customize to your taste. You get a message warning against watching DVD/video while driving if you insert a DVD but I don’t know that I will ever watch a DVD on it anyway. I have always enjoyed Pioneer products and service and this is no exception. NOTE: I did have the unit installed by a professional at a local shop.

   Great unit, purchased for installation in Australia, February 19, 2012

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   This review is from: Pioneer AVH-P2400BT Car DVD Player – 5.8″ Touchscreen LCD Display – 16:9 – 480 x 240 – 200 W RMS – iPod/iPhone Compatible – Double DIN (Electronics)

   *** EDIT***
   After tinkering more with this unit i’ve discovered a trick. I have a genuine iphone 4s dock from apple (the small white ones), an apple charging cable (standard one supplied) and a 3.5mm headphone jack from Belkin. You can connect the 3.5mm to the iphone dock and the apple charger to the back of the dock and then you have the full functionality of the ‘Pandora’ functions on the unit without having to buy the $50-$60 cable. I use the iphone dock as the cradle (not the most stable but it positions nicely in my car)

   I’m from Australia and bought this unit knowing there may be ‘issues’. For anyone outside the US, my problems were as follows:
   1) AM Radio skips by 10khz per station where in Australia it only skips by 9khz. So if you want 873AM you will only tune into 870AM
   2) Locked to region 1 (USA only)
   3) Pandora only allowable in the US, but can bypass this with some know-how.
   4) Forget playng any digital radio.

   I listen to very little AM radio so the tuning was no biggie. The DVD region lock is not really an issue as it plays avi/divx files so i’m good with that too.

   So far everything about the unit is nice. I had mine professionally installed and there were no ‘installation’ issues they encountered for a Holden Colorado Ute. It has many illumination options and other little tweaks.

   Bluetooth with iphone 4S: This works perfectly. I like how it it just seems to ‘work’ all the time. I’ve made a few calls, the radio mutes till the call is finished. I haven’t heard anyone complaining about the call quality so i’m sure it works well. It shows all your contacts on the unit and you can also set favourites (haven’t figured it out yet)

   Pandora: I have used this quite a few times in Australia (download the app from itunes in the US) and I find it’s a great service. It works off bluetooth so as soon as you enter the car your songs will start to play and usually it will play from where it left off. So far the music it has been selecting has been impressive. If you find your having issues with Pandora in Australia, I find you can use Tunein Radio instead.

   Tunein Radio: This is a good alternative if your not interested in Pandora. It works off bluetooth so you don’t need to have a cable plugged in. So for my AM radio issue I use this instead.

   Video: I played a cartoon for the kids and they were really enjoying it until I pull the handbrake down and it ‘stops’. Video quality was very good too and although the screen is 5.8inch (not 7inch) it is still very watchable even from the back seat of my UTE. The kids were in a trance.

   One last thing for anyone considering this unit. It is piano black (shiny). I was expecting it ‘matt’ so a litle disappointed in that respect.

   Overall for the bluetooth alone this unit is worth it.

   Slick DVD Player for the money, February 9, 2012

   Jeremiah (Indiana) –

   This review is from: Pioneer AVH-P2400BT Car DVD Player – 5.8″ Touchscreen LCD Display – 16:9 – 480 x 240 – 200 W RMS – iPod/iPhone Compatible – Double DIN (Electronics)

   In the video I just go over the wallpapers and a few basic features, but overall I’d say this deck is VERY nice.

   I’m not totally sold on the style of the volume/source “semi-circle” but it’s nicely built. I find myself trying to hit the right side of the circle to skip to the next track when the actual track skip is located above the circle. The screen is very responsive and the bluetooth seems to work well. I installed my mic in a bad spot so I’m not entirely sure on how the outgoing voice is. Incoming voice sounded great though. Playing music via bluetooth is very cool. The Pandora app is neat but you could just as well stream Pandora via bluetooth to the deck and skip using the “Pandora” source on the deck all together.

   If you have any other questions just ask in the comments. I have no real complaints about the deck so far, it’s a very clean interface and for the price comes with a lot of great features.

   I have a video but it won’t upload here as it’s too large…you can find it on y*utube…just search p2400bt and mine is the 10 minute video.
