Sick stereo mounted at the puny plant in your car? You want the action playing film, camera-viewing sat-nav-carrying offered by high range car stereo systems? Worry not - Pioneer £ 500 AVH-6300BT is there to solve your problems. Kind of.


The unit in a single DIN slot normal dimension slot in your dashboard, but not be fooled by its small size, as it packs a list of specifications that would put most shame stereo head units.


Hit a button in the centre of the Panel and a 7-inch touch screen, adjustable angle folds to join the party. The display allows you to take advantage of a multitude of Visual Media, including DVD and DivX movies. It even lets you play video via applications on your iPod or iPhone for everyone in the cabin to see.


In theory, this should be the AVH-6300BT something great on the surface of the Earth, but there is a small problem - its display is one of the worst ever, we've come across. 1, 440 X 234 pixel resolution is so low, it is possible to see each pixel which includes an image at some distance, and the screen flickers outrageously, making it almost impossible to discern any finesse the details of your photos. We could barely on the number of the plate images of cars.


7-Inch screen is sensitive to the touch.

Movie playback is slightly more impressive due to the fact that the images are constantly in motion, deceive your eyes into thinking that you are witnessing something extraordinary. Be warned, though - the device will play only video if the handbrake is fully committed, this feature is only of use when you are stopped in traffic.


The above mode of iPod and iPhone app is broken, too. Sometimes video playback works and sometimes doesn't, and the AVH-6300BT does not support Apple's iPod functionality, as well as the graphical user interface for most applications is not displayed on the screen, which is a terrible oversight. For making the most of the media on your Apple device, you will constantly need to fiddle with it you drive.


The AVH-6300BT allows users to enjoy audio from a variety of more conventional sources. The USB port on the front allows you to connect your mass storage device, there is a slot for SD card behind the front panel drive, AM and FM radio tuners are appearing (DAB is remarkably absent) and there is, of course, a reader of CD loading slot bottom of the screen.


Those who want to use the AVH-6300BT as a sat-nav may end up disappointed, as this functionality is not as standard. To enable it, you need to buy the AVIC-F220 navigation optional unit at a cost of £ 370, pushing the total cost of the system up to about £ 900.


If money is no object, you will find that the AVIC-F220 add-on provides a few relatively advanced features, such as the ability to create driving reports that allow you to keep track of environmental respectful way, you are driving. Unfortunately, the low resolution of the screen means that is probably better to buy a sat-nav autonomous or using one on your Smartphone.


On a positive note, the AVH-6300BT supports Bluetooth, so users can pair of their mobile phone with the system and to make or receive calls on the loudspeakers of the car. It can also be connected to a rear camera to help you park your car easier and its function of two rear passenger areas can enjoy different audio or video to the front, although you will need additional screens to take advantage of this feature.


You buy pioneer AVH-6300BT? Yes, if you do not mind to pay on the chances for a terrible display and some half-baked features. We recommend that you pop in your local Pioneer dealer, so you can try this and other units for yourself before your cash flow. We believe that you will find that there are countless other car head units, including a large number of Pioneer itself, providing a better experience.
