Pioneer SPH-DA360DABAN-PHC

I have now been using the Pioneer SPH-DA360DAB for a number of days. The Pioneer is user-friendly and there is an easy overview. Automatic connection to the telephone is very nice because you only have to have the contact on and it already works.

I had been looking for a good 2U radio for some time. After some research, I opted for a radio with a wireless Android car function. The disappointment was great when I found out that this product did not have a good mirror screen or another choice for displaying images while driving. For the sake of safety (which is logical of course), this is missing from this model. The options that this radio provides for displaying images do not work for me. Own fault then. I should have done better research. The other functionalities are top notch. Navigation, music, audio from YouTube/Spotify... It all works perfectly. The radio does what it's supposed to do. Connect rap. What I would have liked to see were some more setting options regarding the brightness of the screen (I don't have the feeling that anything has changed) or the other functions that you can use in the app versions (youtube music/Spotify/Google maps). The screen off button is also a nice addition, but every action on the other buttons (volume for example) turns the screen back on. I would have preferred if the volume buttons did not prompt the screen to turn back on. The screen is a little too bright, especially when driving at night. The lack of physical buttons (everything is touch) is the biggest problem. It forces you to take your eyes off the road with every action. That doesn't feel good. Not even after almost two months of use. Buttons cannot be found blindly because your fingers have no reference point. That's too bad. Furthermore......great product to replace your old radio.

It was a second chance btw. According to Coolblue, there was a scratch on the screen. I didn't find the scratch........a positive point for me I guess. Installation was easy (Mazda Xedos).

A great radio for the price, despite the fact that it falls under Pioneer's budget line, the sound is good and wireless carplay and Android Auto in particular are a delight. Sure, more expensive radios have better built-in amplifiers, and if you have an expensive set in your car I'll take a look. But do you have the standard speakers or a standard replacement set? Then this is one of the best radios you can get for the money
