FYI: YOU DO NOT NEED TO KEEP THE SmartSync APP ON YOUR PHONE TO USE THIS RADIO’S BLUETOOTH! All I wanted was a Bluetooth radio for my car. I got it. But maddeningly, this radio seemed to require a separate app called “SmartSync” to have its Bluetooth function. I knew that made totally 0% sense, so here’s the steps I used to get rid of the BS. 1. Press the radio button called “SRC” (source). Click until the radio screen display says Bluetooth. 2. Connect to the radio on your phone’s Bluetooth. 3. The radio and your phone will prompt you to download an app. Download it. (Eughhh don’t let the app access any of your data or location) 4. When the app is running on your phone, the radio will work with Bluetooth. When you close your app, the radio will stop playing music. This is the BS I was referring to earlier 5. To stop the BS, LONG-PRESS on the “SRC” button while the app is open and your phone is connected to the radio. I had to play around with the radio a bit, disconnecting and re-connecting my Bluetooth to get it to work. Try this with the app open and closed. 6. Once you get it to play music with the app closed, delete the parasitic app from your phone. The app is frivolous and unnecessary, and frankly only there to harvest your info from your phone. Aside from that little bit of frustration, this radio is great. I purchased this radio for my old 2007 car which is so old it didn’t even have an Aux cord input! Installing it was a pain (needed to purchase a bracket to put in the dash) but the radio has gorgeous LED lights and works great.

Good product, can’t beat the product for the price a bit dim in my opinion but nothing major, sometimes Bluetooth likes to act up and take a while to connect but it ends up working, install was pretty plug and play for my Acura and the charger was decently fast overall good product really enhanced sound quality.

this says it has the auto eq, it does not. so does the website, so i bought the optional microphone for nothing called the tech line and wasted my time and money on a product that sucks

The receiver is a great improvement over the stock one. It really potentiates good quality speakers. The lights are great too, and the vintage looks is amazing. The app, though is bloatware, and the extra bass distorts in many cases. The external mic is inconvenient, but I guess that’s the price to pay for a better experience, but I still wish it were integrated into the box.

I purchased this MVH-S622BS to replace my old JVC head unit that lost it’s mind. After a week of tweaking the sound to my liking, this unit has the best sound quality of any head unit that I’ve ever owned. The color changing is cool as you can match it to your vehicles lighting or to your style. Blootooth is seamless and takes a noticeably shorter time to connect than other units that I’ve seen. I don’t use the USB port so, you can be the judge of that. This unit has a ton of features, some that I’m still discovering. It has the absolute best sound quality at it’s price range over it’s competition ( and some higher end models ) that I’ve ever heard, even clearer than Kenwoods Excelon line. Beware of the bass boost feature because it can be too strong for some speakers. Overall, I’m really enjoying this unit and will say that it is indeed a quality unit.

100 %satisfecho

Just another phone app, everything you do in life now is an app it’s very annoying. Did tune of the radio make it more simple absolutely however I’d be happy with a bass only,mid only,treble only eq control. The supplier and pioneer talk about the cheapness of this radio but put eq options in only a person with a music career would understand it took me over an hour to set up eq. Is it nice absolutely, does it work the system,absolutely. Does it sound nice,absolutely.

Sounds great, very minimalistic compared to other systems. My wife love it in her Hyundai Tucson. Paired with the METRA wire harness and METRA Dash kit looks perfect. For the price , great product.

LCD screen went bonkers after very mild warm day inside the vehicle. It has a horrible sound quality

The stereo looks fantastic and once you get it playing music it sounds incredible but the user interface is really really fussy and temperamental. I ended up returning the unit because it would never sync up with my iPhone 15 to the point where I could initiate a call from the radio itself which was one of the main reasons I purchased it. I contacted Pioneer support but never heard back from them. It would never allow me to browse my phonebook, recent calls or allow me to program the buttons on the unit. Also, the BASS but option was really frustrating … If you press it instead of toggling back and forth from your previous music setting it would forget your previous setting and you’d have to go back into the app to reactivate this affects you were using. I did try the reset button to make sure the unit was in a state to be properly configured but that did not help tried it twice.
