Product Description

Does your GM or Chrysler vehicle have the oversized dash opening blues? Pioneer's DEH-P77DH will boogie those blues away with great performance and an incredible list of features. MOSFET45 high power will get your speakers jumping, while the tone-shaping Easy EQ and Front Image Enhancer transform your vehicle into a music-lover's paradise. Three pairs of preamp outputs make system expansion a breeze when you add external amplifiers. The built-in DFS alarm protects your vehicle from intruders (at least two relays required to operate alarm functions). Wireless remote is also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of power and features, easy to install, performs well, October 12, 2004

By	loce_the_wizard "loce_the_wizard" (Lilburn, GA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The used Durango I recently purchased came with the "90-pound-weakling" equivalent of a factory stereo. I wanted to do a better job than when I added an aftermarket system to the Dakota a few years back, so I researched which CD receivers would be the best fit for the 1.5 DIN (oversized) dash opening (found in a bunch of Chrysler and GM vehicles).

I settled on the Pioneer DEH-P77DH, and I remain convinced that this was an excellent choice for several reasons.

First, the sound quality is rich and full-45 watts x 4. I can hear details and nuances with clarity. I've paired it up with four 6.75 inch Alpine speakers in the doors, and I have plenty of low end (I don't want to rattle anyone's windows). So far, the CD player has not skipped once or failed to play any of my compilations.

Second, the unit was easy to install. (Of course, having a neighbor who is an electronics whiz is a bonus.) Be sure to order a wiring harness, solder the connections, and then plug and play. It fit snugly into the opening---no cheap looking adapter plate kits needed.

Third, the DEH-P77DH is full of features, including an equalizer, a high pass filter (which is useful if you are running a subwoofer), and a low, mid, and high options for the loudness control. The removable head unit is a nice security feature. There are three RCA outputs, one of which is for a nonfading output for a subwoofer.

Supposedly, this CD receiver will work seamlessly with a satellite radio receiver, too. And there is a small, nifty remote control that is a snap to use. I, for one, happen to like the big volume control knob but some folks might not.

Fourth, programming radio stations is easy, and this unit has a very sensitive tuner, allowing me to pull in better programming than the mess that clogs the airways around here.

A few cons, to be fair, should be noted.

First, the display is a bit dated looking compared with some of the fancy "organic" graphics popular today.

The design of the head unit has a couple of vexing features. One button near the top left switches from on to off, from CD to radio. Then another button left off center at the bottom switches between three levels of FM settings (you can store 15 FM stations in memory) and the AM settings. This design is irritating when you want to jump to AM to check traffic reports, for instance. Also, this unit does not play MP3s, so be forewarned.

Setting up the menus and functions will require keeping the manual within reach the first few times because some of the programming is not that intuitive.

All in all, the Pioneer DEH-P77DH has taken much of the misery out of my commute and made road trips quite enjoyable and its many pluses outweigh the minuses.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Advice, May 1, 2009

By	Anthony Mccracken (CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Be warned this unit suggests it works on the Pioneer Bus system, but in reality you can only connect 1 device to the bus input, if you put on 2 it will ONLY reconise the first device!!! this error cost me a lot of $ in shipping with Amazon as they feel it was my fault. I was just trying to add a syrus and an I pod to it Pioneer tech support told me of this units ability to only run 1 of these where as all other units in Pioneers line up will run 2

Be warned!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, Perfect dash fit, June 12, 2007

By	F. Seegers "Frankedelic" (Aruba) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this stereo for my 2000 Chevy Tahoe, because I wanted a radio that would fit perfectly in the dash without any modifications. 1.5 din car stereos are hard to find. I love the sound and all the features it has. Really worth the price! I only have problems mounting it properly, unfortunately the brackets of the original radio do not fit this unit. But I'll figure something out. Overall,...very good deal!
