 3100 new for 09 |
| Review Date: March 25, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Vocal Lover, Way out West |
This was ordered from Amazon, and as usual it arrived intact and quickly. I was replacing a Clarion Max385 and wanted a deck that didn't have to take so long to change sources (the clarion practically had to reboot everytime...) and that had a nice picture. The 3100 met both of those requirements and installed easy with the Scosche adapter I ordered from Crutchfield. No remote is included with the receiver, but they are available cheap here on Amazon. This new deck now offers a FRONT USB jack, as well as a front mini-jack for plugging in a key drive or your MP3 player, IPOD takes a separate adapter sold separately. Same for Bluetooth and Serius Radio.
The touch screen works well, the sound is nice, as is the option to use your own photos as the screen background, There are lots of color combinations built in to help match your dash lights coloring if you wish, and the top slot means no opening and closing the unit to insert and remove disks, a major pain with the Clarion... Several stereo shops told me this would not/could not fit my 2005 Tucson, but the Scosche adapter lets it fit easily with no cutting, And it sits flush with the dash when done.
5 stars for the nice screen, DIVX ability, USB port, and sound.
Only negative: no built-in bluetooth/ipod/Serius, all are add-ons.

The best 2-DIN DVD
|
| Review Date: May 8, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Lou Goodman, San Antonio, TX |
I own a 2008 1500 Dodge Ram, and consider very important to keep the original equipment look. Since my pickup had a OEM stereo, to make it fit my dash I had to buy a factory NAV bezel from Dodge (the bezel for the pickup with navigation system). With the customizable illumination of the Pioneer receiver, it looks amazing and fits perfectly with the illumination of my whole dash.
The menus are very easy to use and the picture looks incredibly sharp. Even though that the screen is a little bit smaller than the AVH-4100DVD, the screen is fixed and I am sure it is better that way, since I don't exactly trust the other model's opening and closing mechanism. The animated backgrounds look very nice and the interface for the USB memory displays all the information of any song that is playing.
If you are considering buying a double DIN DVD, this is the best option on the market today.
Note: Some of the touch screen functions are blocked while driving unless you bypass the parking brake wire. For this bypass without a switch, I used a 5 pin relay (Mobile Spec MSRELAY Relay 30amp 5pin Sgl-Pull Dbl-Throw) and wired it as follows: prong 87 and 86 to ground wire, prong 85 to the remote wire coming off the head unit (blue wire) and then the parking brake wire (green) goes to prong 30. This connection will allow you to have the full touch sceen functions at all time and watch DVDs without the parking brake engaged. |

| To start, I absolutly love this stereo. It has some great features for something of its price range. A lot I wouldn't expect. I love to customize my sound, and this has everything I need to do that. It also has plenty of extras, such as bluetooth, sat and hd radio. My favorite is the usb and aux inputs.... best of all the usb is compatible with my iphone and controls it just as it would an ipod. most usb interface stereos do not do this. As for it being a touch screen.. the size is just right and it fits perfectly into my dash. The user interface is great as well and easy to use. With ease i can scroll through displayed folders and songs, and again as for a touch screen this is one of the best ive ever used in that the slightest of touch is needed to activate the buttons, as where some touch screens seem to have trouble recognizing when you are actually touching it. Overall it is a great unit and really should cost a lot more for what you get and i would certainly suggest this over most models of in dash touch screens that cost almost $1000. Oh an no worries about not having built in navi... most ones that do have it do not allow you to listen to music while using the navigation. I dont know about you but I cant ride for 4 hours using the navigation without music. Id rather get a window mounted one. Do beware though of where you buy. I originally purchased it at an electronics store and paid almost $500, then I found it on here for just $290 and free shipping. Needless to say I took the first one back. Hope this helps. |
Much bang for the buck

| I was looking for a head unit to replace a 3.5 inch Boss Audio head unit in my 05 Yukon. I kept coming across the Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD. After some research and reading reviews, I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did bc this head unit works as good as advertised. It is getting the most out of my Bose system and then some. I have owned it for two weeks now and nothing to complain of yet. The double din fits perfectly in my Yukon and looks like it came with the truck almost. I would definitely recommend this head unit to anyone. |
Nice unit with some quirks

| Reviewer: Jolene_B_Yum, Chicago |
First off, I'm late to the party, so I won't repeat what you can find in the other reviews. I will say that I love this unit, despite some frustrations I have had (some of which were self-induced).
I lost the face plate for my previous head unit, a Pioneer DEH-P80MP. After searching eBay for a couple of weeks (where I bought the entire HU in the first place), I noticed that most faceplates were selling for more than $100 with shipping. Instead, I decided to suck up the difference and buy a new unit. After much searching, I decided to go with the AVH-P3100DVD, in part because of the price. (I have an older car so I didn't want to drop too much on a new stereo.)
After receiving the unit, there are three things I love about the 3100, even for Pioneer's "entry" DVD unit:
1. Basic control buttons on the left side of the unit. I don't know how reliable the touchscreens will be, but if it fails to work for some reason in the future, I can still control the source, volume, and track with mechanical buttons.
2. External USB port. When I was reading reviews before purchasing, some people complained about the front-facing USB port (e.g., lack of clean lines). I think it's great. I can pop in a USB drive and play music. Most of my trips are 1/2 hour or less commutes, so I tend to have 20-30 songs on a drive that I swap out frequently. The USB drive is a super-handy way to do this. Get one of the USB drives with a blue LED and it even matches the display...
3. The sound and picture quality are both good. When hooking up the unit, I was testing out the DVD with "Pirates of the Caribbean". The booming of the cannon fire and music made me think I was back in the theatre... only with a tiny screen.
Of course, even though I love the unit, people reading reviews often want to know what's "wrong" with it and, like anything, this unit could be better. Here are three things I wish were different:
1. The DVD set-up was a pain. I did not want to splice my emergency brake cable so I wanted to use a by-pass. (I know this is illegal, hence the parking brake switch, but I don't watch DVDs while driving...) The system was set-up, I had a bypass switch in place, and the receiver would play sound but no picture. Sometimes it would put up a warning message on the screen; usually it would be blank. After MUCH frustration, I found a small blurb in the manual about using the unit after driving. You have to switch the bypass from off to on to off again, then wait a couple of seconds and voila picture. My bad, perhaps, but it could have been more clear...
2. The normal display font is blocky and dated looking. Since the DVD player displays such good picture quality, why not smaller or different fonts?
3. To protect the touchscreen from greasy fingers, Pioneer includes a tiny, little touch pencil with the unit. I lost this in about 3 days.
4. You can load pictures, but if you load and use an image as a display, it "trumps" the DVD player. When I tried playing a DVD some time after loading my first picture, it was back to the same old sound-no picture problem I had on install (see #1). After toggling the bypass switch several times and realizing that wasn't the problem, it took me some time of trial-and-error testing before finding that I needed to turn off the image to show the DVD.
Note (neither good nor bad): I nearly shelled out $40 for the iPod connector. I decided not to buy this and glad I didn't waste the money. The iPod connector is only needed if you are planning to watch video from your iPod. Otherwise, you use your iPod charging cable to connect the iPod directly to the USB port. The 3100 detects it, and even puts a little iPod-like image on the touchscreen to control the song tracks.
