Hands Free, Bluetooth Audio, Pandora Integration... Love this deck.

Took me 30mins to install this morning since my brother pre did the harnesses for me the other day.

Will take it out later to connect the USB and Aux inputs. I want to do them more cleanly in the Forester so going to see what's out there to place those two ports somewhere.

That's pretty cool - I want to get something like that for my wife's car. Does it connect via USB and/or Bluetoof for the Pandora connectivity? This car is a Toyota SUV so there are like 5000 blank plugs/places to stick a USB port.

Handsfree is great. Very Clear.

For my wife i got her the simplier Pioneer FH-X700BT. Also has hands free calling, and BT Audio, but not Pandora interface ( Unless you have an Iphone and the CD-IU51 interface cable)

I use the USB cable versus Bluetoof in my Corolla for daily driving, because there is a massive difference in sound quality between the two, at least on that stock system. Going through a J5 phase again so I need that bass!

I discovered this when I was listening to some music via Bluetoof on my iPhone, and the phone died so I plugged it in. Then, I did some testing back and forth with the same audio and was like whaaaaaaaa?!?!??

Using a Windows Phone now so back to CDs and MiniDiscs.. Haaaa. For now.

Thanks!!
