DEH-3200UB Features

Detachable Faceplate
When you're away from your car, remove the face from the receiver for protection against theft.

The faceplate features a 12-character dot OEL display, along with the convenient seven-way "rotary commander" control.

Dual Color Illumination
Choose the button illumination color from Red or Green to suit your vehicle--or mood.

CD-R/RW Playback
Play back your favorite CDs and burnt CD-R/RW discs in the slot-loading CD player.

MP3/WMA/AAC Playback
Don't let your favorite music downloads languish on your computer hard drive. Burn them to a CD-R or CD-RW and play them right on the car stereo. Enjoy hours of your favorite tunes MP3, WMA, and AAC audio content.

You can also just throw some files on a USB thumb drive and insert it directly in the front panel USB input.

iPod Made Easy
It's easy! Simply plug your iPod directly into the unit using the optional CD-IU50 iPod cable, and you are ready to rock and roll. Listening to an artist that you just can't get enough of? Now you can hold the "List" button down and it will pop up folders containing that specific artist, album, or genre. You can also have your passenger control your music directly from the iPod.

A Better Way to Control Your Music
Sick of using buttons to search through your songs? Now you can scroll through your music with greater ease using the 7-way rotary commander.

Bring Your Music to Life with Advanced Sound Retriever
This year you can hear the detail, warmth, and clarity the way the artist intended it, from all of the highly compressed MP3, WMA and AAC files playing on your CD player. By restoring data that tends to get lost in the digital compression process, we can make your music sound close to CD quality.

Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner
Pioneer's legendary Supertuner IIID combines the best of digital and analog tuner technologies to reduce distortion to bring you exceptional FM and AM performance. If you live in an area where reception is weak, you'll hear a big improvement in signal strength. And when you're near tall buildings, Supertuner IIID reduces the effect of multi-path noise, which occurs when the signal is reflecting off of the buildings.

MOSFET 50W x4 Amplifier for the Power Hungry
Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, delivering power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. And that doesn't just mean a boost in volume: it means that your music will be cleaner at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. Clean, efficient power that will rock your vehicle.

Inevitably, there will be those who still need more. The DEH-3200UB is therefore equipped with two sets of 2.2V preamp outputs (front, rear/subwoofer) for system expansion with external amps/speakers.

Get Plugged In
Use the built-in AUX input for connecting any digital portable player and other external auxiliary devices. For extra-convenient access, the input is on the front panel.

Dial In Your Sound
Tweak the sound to your liking with the on-board five-band graphic EQ. A Loudness feature ensures ample low-end even during quiet listening, and standard balance/fader controls let you adjust the stereo image to suit your vehicle and preferences.

(What's this?)

For my '99 Toyota Camry, I was still running with the original factory-installed cassette/fm/am receiver. I'd been planning for a while to upgrade to something that would play CDs and MP3s, with a USB and auxiliary input. This does the trick. It delivers great sound, even from my original factory speakers. I never thought I could get this kind of big and clear sound out of the old speakers. I know you can set this up with an amplifier and subwoofers, but the setup I have now is exactly what I need to play the tunes that keep my ride alive.

It automatically recognizes when I plug in my iPod or iPhone and immediately shifts the mode to that input; same thing for when I pop in a CD, and it starts playing right away. Of course, I can switch the mode back to what I wanted, and leave the CD or iPod on standby. I don't really need to plug in any other auxiliary sound, so haven't tried that. One nice feature is you can control the iPod directly from the stereo - using the joystick-like volume and master controller button. It's mostly intuitive, but I found I did have to read through the manual to figure out exactly how it works. The fact that the master controller knob controls almost everything means it will take some getting used to before the operation of this receiver feels as intuitively easy as my old one. The remote control that comes with it is a bit more intuitive and operates mostly like any old CD/iPod player remote.

You can play almost anything with this, whether through the iPod or what's burned on a CD: MP3, WMA, and AAC files. There's also a "sound retriever" function, that does seem to give a slightly "bigger" sound when playing compressed sound formats like MP3s. I was streaming Pandora on my iPhone while driving, and the sound didn't seem as clear as ordinary sound files, but the "sound retriever" function did seem to clear that up a bit. It does make a more obvious difference when I play mp3 files I've burned onto a CD.

The sound for everything seems better than before - likely due to the new 50W amps to each speaker - giving cleaner sound at high volumes than I was able to manage with my original receiver.

Obviously you can run the radio with it, and you can pre-set up to six stations per band (it allows you to toggle between 3 "different" FM bands - i.e. to establish 3 different sets of favorite FM stations - and one AM band). You can toggle between these pre-sets easily, either by pushing up or down on the volume knob, or by pressing the number of the pre-set. When you're on the road, you can have it search for the six "best quality" local stations and put them into the presets automatically. The "Supertuner IIID" really does work as promised - it picks up more stations more clearly, and even cleans up the sound of some of my old favorites that come in sounding better than ever.

It took some doing to install it. First, I picked up a harness adapter for my Camry - which was easy for me to find at my local autoparts store. The harness was easy to install, and hook up to my system, and I got it working right away. It was the mounting that was a bit tricky, since this is a little wider than my factory-mounted stereo, and wouldn't fit when I had my original factory mounting brackets on there. I was able to make it work after a bit of tweaking, but I thought it would be worth mentioning that this may be too wide for mounting in some older vehicles.

4.0 out of 5 stars more pros than cons, August 4, 2010

It's a nice radio, probably a bit better than the 2200UB, but still skimps on a couple of things.

Pros:

- very good sound

- supports latest iPods and USB sticks

Cons:

- doesn't support iPods from even a couple years back. I couldn't use my iPod mini and an older iPod shuffle, the "N/A USB" error shows up on display. That's difficult to understand, should be a minor software effort. Do these things have firmware upgrades? Not clear that they do.

- blue-white wire is used for both Amp turn-on, and Power antenna turn-on. There's no separate "blue wire" which is meant for Power antenna trigger. The documentation around this is very flaky. It says you can do one or the other. This means, a) that your antenna will be up even if you're listening to iPod, and b) if you splice the wire and route it to both functions you could be in trouble if it draws too much current. This was supposed to be easy to install.. how hard could it have been to provide a separate blue wire.

There's no illumination and dimmer wire connections (orange and orange-black), so close those off on the harness coming from the car. There are controls for adjusting those on the unit manually.

For the price its an excellent product from a sound quality point of view, and will make your stock speakers sound great without an expensive amplifier and/or subwoofer.
