Pioneer DEH-P9800BT (or P980BT)

[Johngs]

I've noticed a few people have this head unit. I wanted to get a few opinions from you, particularly about the functioning of the bluetooth and your phones (if you use it). But also the other general features. Supposedly it has a 3.5" mini-jack built into the front, I would get alot of use from that, since my MP3 player is not an iPod, and you cant get controllers for anything else. Only thing is I cant see it in any of the pictures Ive found... I currently have a P7700MP, which is not very old, and I assume is fairly similar in its primary features (aside from the BT, input, and fancy screen). But one of my biggest gripes is that it doesnt have a pause button (which I really only need when my phone rings). So having something like the hands-free answering would let me get over the no pause button gripe.

I have the DEH-P980BT. There is no 3.5" mini-jack built into the front, it is on the back of the unit and I don't know why Pioneer is advertising it as being on the front. Other than that, I think it's an excellent unit. It is worth buying the DEH-P980BT over the DEH-P9800BT, you get more with the DEH-P980BT. I have tried the BT it did not work to well for me, I think it is more to do with my phone than the HU. There is supposed to be a software upgrade for my phone to help resolve some of the issues the Motorolla Q.

I have had the 9800bt for about 3 months now and I love it... I have had no issues with it at all and I use the bluetooth all the time... The clarity of the provided mic is great... I would reccomend it all the way...
