Pioneer DEH-P8450 MP

[Evil]

I am thinking of buying one of these head units anyone have one? Are they any good? Thanks.

i also would like one of these decks, however they are a fair price but still look sweet as

Only complaints I have are that it doesn't auto-scroll the track name/artist etc -u have to hold down a button for it. Oh and the steering wheel remote sometimes does not "talk" to the headunit.

Other than that, 4V rca's, seperate sub control, sexy face and playing MP3's is pretty darn good.

I'm glad I spent the money tho.

yeh i love the look of it, i just cant justify spending over a grand atm for a deck

[Evil]

i think I'll get one. I had a pioneer stereo in my old car and could not find any faults. I'll just have to shop around to get the best price.

Ive got the 9400, and ill agree with everything tool said. The biggest thing that shits me is the scroll!

apart from that, not a fault, 6v preout is pretty nice for the amp

Yeah I've got a Pioneer DEH-P8450 MP. I also agree with Tool's comments, my only real gripe is the scrolling functionand it is a little slow to load mp3's compared to the other deck I was tossing up against (Alpine FantomFace). It is very customisable, but really havent had much of a play with it yet or got the CD-TEXT to work on some of my burnt cd's. I presume it has it?

It is a schmick looking unit with a funky display and it plays MP3's so i'm happy! Still one of the best MP3 decks on the market in my opinion..

I've got the US premier version of the same head unit, Only bad thing about it that annoys me is the remote want talk to the deck sometimes. Other then that for me it’s great.

[NuGGeT]

how much did the deck set ya back?

cause i'v had a few quote on prices and there around $1300

that sound about right?

[craz0]

All up I payed $700 for it and that is including the shipping from tha states Plus another $80 to get it installed.

[TIMMMAYYY]

I've got the 9350.Mine isn't MP3, I think that is the only difference!

Was the best thing I've bought for my car nearly and I picked it up for $650 second hand. More than happy with the deck! Best money i've spent in a long time!

[NuGGeT]

craz0 can u send us a pm or tell us who ya got it from and where to get em?

[craz0]

NuGGeT I got it on ebay :uh-huh: from this guy he is really good it only took about 5 days to get here using FedEx and you can track it all the way.

He hasn't got one at the moment but he has a very nice 03 Kenwood D Mask for $555 and ad about another $100 for the shipping.

Hope it helps

[NuGGeT]

I ordered one from my cousin (a purchasing officer at Toyota) for $935, it should come in soon. I can't wait.

yeah i've got one of those as well - awersome head unit, pretty much the same complaints as the other guys though, couldn't be happier with it and i can justify spending the money that i did cause it really is worth it!!! paid $1050 from autobarn at one of their sales a few months ago... i was pretty happy with that price then as it was something like $500 bucks off rrp. In relation to why it takes so long to load mp3's, i'm pretty sure it's got something to do with the fact that it - the headunit - rebuilds the mp3 or more the wave of the song to give a clearer song - was told this by the rep from autobarn when i enquired about the new alpine 2003 headunits and he said that they do the same thing which is why they also take a fair while to load a mp3 song. I final thing... i wish it had some more screensavers though... they are so cool :-)
