Wentz Note- I own the "Premier" version of this, which I believe is identical except for the faceplate branding. If this unit had a dedicated play/pause button, then I would have no problems giving it 5-stars. It makes my (mostly) factory speakers sound incredible. The iPod integration is intuitive and works with both my old classic iPod and my iPhone 3GS. Bluetooth was easy to configure with my iPhone. Once the two were paired, it automatically retrieved my contacts list for dialing and the phone switched to using the bluetooth audio output device. Unfortunately, the BT audio on the iPhone doesn't sound very good ("crunchy" is how I would describe it), but I think that its an issue with the phone and not this unit as I've seen lots of other complaints around the 'tubes about it. Its certainly good enough for talk-centered podcasts and audiobooks, however, and I expect Apple will improve the sound quality down the road. The really ugly thing about it is the lack of a dedicated pause button on the front panel. It takes at least three clicks with the multi-function wheel to pause, and could require selecting the pause function if it wasn't the last menu item that was used (which would require looking at the display). This seems dangerous to me. There is a dedicated mute button, but I would strongly prefer if it could be configured to pause instead. Also, the "PGM" button on the remote is apparently set to operate the pause function by default, but who wants to fumble with a remote control while driving? I haven't used the CD player or flash memory features, but according to the manual they work similarly to the iPod control. To summarize: PROS: Great sound quality, BT easy to configure, intuitive iPod integration, can display clock full-time CONS: "multi-function" wheel can be fiddly, lack of one-press pause on front panel. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Best option for the Nokia N97 By Tor Slettnes I used this to replace a DEH-P7000BT that I had previously installed in my car, because that one would not work correctly with my new phone, a Nokia N97. Even after a Nokia-specific firmware upgrade from Pioneer, which had solved some issues for my "old" N85, it would not pair with my new one in "Bluetooth Audio" (A2DP/AVRCP) mode, only as a "Bluetooth Telephone" (HSP). I went through several car receivers (both buy/return and in store) to get one that actually worked: * A Sony MEX-BT2700 (works fine, but inferior sound and also inferior handsfree pickup), * A Clarion CZ509 (complex controls, had to download the user manual on my phone right in the store in order to figure out how to pair it; would only work in "Blueooth Audio" mode and NO SOUND would come through in handsfree mode) * An Eclipse CD5030 (nice unit, good sound, but same problem as the DEH-P7000BT: No A2DP/AVRCP with my phone) I had previously also tried out other solutions, including a Kenwood unit along with the KCA-BT200 Bluetooth adapter. The main issue with these was that there was a delay from when Bluetooth Audio were initiated from the phone until it was heard over the speakers. This may seem like a nitpick, but I also use my phone as my GPS/navigation system - and the result was that instructions like "In 400 yards, turn left" would become "n left". No dice. The Pioneer unit, at least, did not have this problem. At this point, I had resigned to using my original factory stereo along with a cassette adapter to get music through the stereo (turns out that this setup worked OK as well, my phone is mounted close enough to the driver's seat that its built in microphone picked up my voice better than e.g. the Sony above). But as I came across the DEH-P6100BT in a store, I figured I would try it anyway - despite the issue with the older Pioneer unit. Finally we had a winner! Not only does the Pioneer units have excellent sound (good
