I'm looking right now at a wonderful buy on a '05 DEH-P860MP reciever. I like how it looks, and the features for it are unbeilevable. But how does it look in the celi's dash, and how about all the features. Help help

I have an 05 Pioneer Headunit.. I've had it in for about 2 weeks and its awesome.

The one I have is called DEH-P470MP

Heres a pic I made of the box



Anyways, I have the 8 speakers and I didnt know that I would need a special amp integration thing, but after that I installed it...

Heres what it looks like in my car,






I know you said you're getting a different (better model, but this might give you an idea... idk Mine was only 169.99 and I got it cause it's compatible with Pioneer's new Ipod adapter comin in march.

I had a really old Pioneer Premier DEH-P520 I believe. It was good until it died(after being in four cars over several years.)

I also had a more recent model, which was aDEH-P740MP I think. I didn't like how it took forever to load up MP3 CDs, and how it was slow to move forward to the next track. In general, the MP3 playback was slow, plus I couldn't select a next track to play while another was playing. That said, it was a good deck for the week I had it before I sold it.

My next head unit will be an Alpine though.

I've had it for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. It's actually installed in my other car, a 99 Toyota Solara. Premier's have been my absolute favorite headunits, never had a problem with them. I Had a different Premier in my Celica before I got my Kenwood DVD player. Fabulous headunit. I've had it for 4 years now, and I gave it to my mom for her Explorer. I have nothing bad to say about Premiers.

It was a DEH-P760MP. Mine now . I couldn't be happier. The load time of MP3 CDs is only when your inserting it into the player. If the MP3 CD is in the unit when it's turned on it loads quickly just like a standard audio CD. I haven't noticed the slow MP3 playback, but then again I edit out all silence from the beginning and ending of all my MP3s so maybe that's why I don't notice it. The option to select a different track while another is playing isn't to big of a deal but I guess it'd be a nice feature. So far I've had 3 different pioneer decks (all still working somewhere in someones car) and I've installed at least 4 others in friend's and family's cars. Everyone seems very pleased with them. The only problem I've had was just recently the volume knob popped off and shot into the back of my car. Luckily, Digikey has a replace ment available from there website. I think it's a fluke that it happened but just thought I'd mention it. It's only going to cost me $10 to fix and maybe an hour of my time to solder in the new "square encoder".

That is supposed to be the model that replaces mine. How do you like the new "7-Way Rotary Commander?" I played with it a little bit the other day at Best Buy and thought that that the up/down left/right functions felt a bit spongy but I thought it was a good design overall.

I have one of the first premeirs made like 8 years ago..stil working..but has some issues..

I recommend buying an ALPINE unit..its a much better quality hu than alpine..Ive got an alpine in my celica and the sound and quality is so much better than the premiere...good luck!

Pioneers Premier line of cd players arent bad at all... really the only cd players id buy from them... the ones at Wal Mart are "ok" but dont do it for me.. i was also looking at the 770mp for my brother.... the one above it (8mp or whatever) i do not like.. i was messing with one at a shop and to go through songs you push the toggle thing over and i just dont like that.. but i run an Alpine HU in my car... while Premiers are nice, everyone and Even their moms have em here... im tired of em.. but they are good cd players none the less... id recommenend Alpine ofcourse, Clarion Pro Audio, and Eclipse..
