iPod Direct Control (CD-I200 required)
Connect your iPod to the AVH-P4000DVD for direct control of iPod audio and video menus, functions and selections via on-screen touch panel. This makes song access and search extra-quick and easy. The headunit keeps song, artist, time, and album information displays very clear and user-friendly, and control is exceptionally easy with the touchscreen control.

In addition, Pioneer has developed the following new features to make using your iPod in the car extremely easy and convenient:

Always have your favorite stations at hand with 18 FM and six AM user presets.

Best Stations Memory
Setting your radio presets can be a real pain while you're driving--especially if you're in an unfamiliar area. So, let the tuner do the work for you by activating the Best Stations Memory (BSM) function. The tuner will seek out the six strongest stations in the area and set them into the tuner presets.

Dial in Your Sound

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD 2-Din DVD Multimedia AV Receiver (Electronics)

I have had this unit for 3 weeks now, and I am very impressed with it. I moved up from a 7800mp, and I am so glad I did. The touchscreen is very responsive, and is visible in all lighting. The unit plays any format of music or video(even my ipod video podcasts).
Sound quality is awesome. The ipod control is very fast. The new ipod controller is a vast improvement from the one I had on my 7800mp. XM integration is nice. I recommend the GEX-20 so you get the 3 line display. I am considering adding on a rearview camera. The unit looks great in my Saturn Vue. I highly recommend this solid unit for it's price and functionality.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT! Bypass Safety lock-out instructions here, December 15, 2008

By 

Charles F. (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD 2-Din DVD Multimedia AV Receiver (Electronics)

For the price, this is definitely one of the best non-nav DVD headunits out there. Pair this with the optional Bluetooth Adapter (CD-BTB200) and optional Ipod Adapter (CD-I200) and you have yourself a very complete system (minus Navigation).

For setting this up to view DVD's while driving (bypass safety lock-out), you'll need to get a standard 5-wire automotive relay and wire it up per these instructions:

1. connect "30" to the parking brake wire from the headunit
2. connect both "86" and "87" to ground
3. connect "85" to the remote turn-on wire from the headunit

What this does is send a pulse to the headunit to trick it into thinking you've turned on the parking brake. If you simply connect the parking brake wire to ground only, it will not work.

The DVD, CD, Radio, Ipod, and Bluetooth functionality on this headunit are all great! The touchscreen is very responsive too. One of the best features is the ability to change both the external buttons and the on-screen display (OSD) colors to match your factory interior gauge lighting. My 2008 Subaru STI comes with all red interior lighting so I selected the AVH-P4000DVD to have red buttons and red OSD.

PROS:
- Ipod controls w/ CD-I200 are amazing: mimics real Ipod controls on the screen (Except for scroll wheel), responsive, and charges Ipod while docked
- Bluetooth Module (CD-BTB200) works well as long as you update the software of your phone (I needed a software update on my Blackberry Pearl 8100 to get it to work properly)
- External Volume knob, very helpful
- Clear 6.5" screen, dims when headlights are on for night viewing
- Touchscreen very accurate and responsive
- External button and OSD screen colors can be customized to any interior (Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Violet) for factory look
- DVD playback is great
- Easy to use interface

Cons:
- only 2 pairs of preouts (front and rear/subwoofer)
- No navigation, but that is why its so cheap
- No remote control comes standard (optional CD-R55)

Just get it. You'll love it.
