PioneerFH-S722BS Double Din Bluetooth CD Receiver – Built in Bluetooth, USB/AUX Inputs, Pioneer Smart Sync, Hands-Free Calling, Enhanced Car Audio

WOW !!What a big difference from the stock 2012 Mazda3 head unit!!Replaced all of the speakers & tweeters, added a JL sub box & amp for just the sub, and now there is an incredibly fabulous system. Soft, Loud, or just Rattle the Mirror- CRAZY LOUD & CLEAN!!I didn’t want the touchscreen & wanted a master volume KNOB for easy adjustments!Smooth Bluetooth connection...Easy intuitive interface & lights around the perimeter of the unit. Each song title is displayed.Highly recommend & at this price of less than $200 delivered, can’t miss. Make sure to research the correct wiring harness for Pioneer, double din mounting bracket for the respective car/truck you are putting it into, and you will need to also buy an antenna to listen to local radio stations. $20 or so.Also, with this unit installed, you will NOT be able to control this Pioneer head unit from your steering wheel mounted, stock controls...dkwPioneer still rocks big time!Even for this old dude!!RG

Quality sound at a great price very happy

Purchased this unit to replace the malfunctioning OEM unit in my Highlander. Worked flawlessly until the 11 month mark when the radio tuner failed. Unit has a 1-year warranty so I called Pioneer walked through their troubleshooting tree (basically reboot to factory settings, then disconnect the power for 10 minutes when the 1st step didn't work. Next up is to remove the unit, box it up and send it off to a 3rd party repair facility in Florida (or NY or CA) and wait for them to either repair it and return it or determine its unrepairable and someone send me a new one, meanwhile driving around with a hole in my dash and no phone connectivity or music, all of which is completely unacceptable. I've bought at least 4 other head units, along with speakers and other electronic devices, from Pioneer over the years but his experience is costing them a customer.

My favorite part oher than the quality sound and AM stations is the volume knob. It just makes life easier.

The wiring in pretty straight forward with the exception of a mute/dim wire. The only "FAQ" on the Pioneer FH-S722BS dealing with wires is a generic color code, which shows a mute wire. However the S722BS does not have that wire. One can "mute" the unit easily via the app but that really isn't the core issue. And incoming phone calls or messages automatically turn off the unit - which is exactly what happens if the wiring harness's brown mute wire is not hooked up. Beyond this the volume does not lower (dim) when in reverse or when detecting objects beside the car, or behind the car. Very annoying. And the Pioneer tech support is non existent. Minus 5 stars on that fact.On the plus side the unit sounds great and as long as you use the app the set up is fairly easy. Trying to do any sort of set up on the unit itself is somewhat of a mess. The volume knob is the menu know, the large triangle button only serves one purpose - to open up Google Maps. The "On/Off" switch is the "SRC" button. And so on...really you need to see it to understand it and why it is not intuitive.

Good product

I bought this as replacement for the Boss that I sent back. It sounds awesome !!!. the biggest thing for me was the large volume control knob and I could read the clock while I was driving. Like others have said, sometimes it's hard to read in the daytime, but I bought a little stickon dash clock for 7 dollars so that solved that. At night, of course, it's real easy to read. Definitely recommend

great radio
