I replaced the stock radio of our 2006 Subaru Forester with this Pioneer. Installation was easy, and I put an ISO adapter with steering wheel control in between so that I can control the volume from the steering wheel with the original buttons. Functions perfectly. Tip: Secure the cables for the microphone and the steering wheel controls with a piece of adhesive tape to prevent them from coming loose during installation. The standard 3.5 mm plugs are not very tight. Also turn off safe mode, or connect the handbrake cable to GND, so that the co-driver can operate the radio at all times (especially useful when navigating via smartphone) We have an iPhone and an Android, both work immediately and always allow up-to-date navigation. I was planning to save up for other speakers in the car, but this radio makes the original speakers sound so good that it's no longer necessary. Everything you need is included, DAB+ antenna, USB cable, Microphone. All you may need is a conversion of your car to ISO.
Requirements regarding functionality: The radio can display a background image, but only from an external USB device. Would be nice if you could load that image into the radio. When using a reversing camera, the camera must display the image in mirror image. This should be adjustable in the menu of the radio (no problem with my camera) Connection with an OBDII dongle would be nice, you see this with many cheap Chinese models.
All wishes are nice to have, the radio has no real problems. We are very happy with it, and especially the sound quality is above expectations!

Have a suzuki swift myself, am very satisfied I regret that I have not done it much sooner, use friendly and works really great, do not forget to buy a radio panel (cover) so that it fits 100% in your car.

Needed a replacement in my new car. The car was equipped with a china trash thing. After much research and consideration, this Pioneer was chosen, more than 300 euros, still a lot of money. But, what a fantastic device, I don't regret my purchase for a second.
Personally, I like that the screen can be turned off completely. Not 'on' with no image, but the full backlight is turned off. Completely black so no distractions at all when driving on dark roads. The buttons can also be set in terms of color and intensity, so that it matches well with your interior.
Video/audio inputs, outputs, it's all in abundance. There are plenty of options to adjust your sound per speaker by means of extensive EQs and time alignment. I see myself as a prosumer and am very satisfied.
The radio starts quickly, the screen is responsive, DAB works perfectly, smooth and problem-free connection via bluetooth and carplay, it all works the way you want in a well-arranged way without too much fuss.
Don't hesitate, just buy. Best investment I've made in the car!! Just take the time to get it all right :)
