Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS Single Din In-Dash CD/MP3 Receiver. Review

I had the opportunity to install this in my 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege during this January thaw we're having here in Wisconsin, so I'd like to share my first impressions. When you open the box you get the X9500BHS, a trim piece, mounting cage, connector with wires, 1 USB cable, the Bluetooth mic with mounting clip, and the owners manual - this was everything I needed for my install. If you have a factory radio in your vehicle, odds are you'll need a wiring harness adapter for your vehicle and a dash kit. You should be able to find both of those on Amazon or at a local shop.

The unit sounds great! I'm using the internal amplifier to power my Kenwood speakers and do not currently have a sub connected. At this time, I can only comment on the Tuner and Bluetooth audio as I haven't used the CD player, AUX, or USB connections. The tuner works wonderfully, and to my surprise, I'm picking up HD stations from as far as 60 miles away. Coming from an extensive audio background, I will say that HD Radio does not sound like a CD. It sounds good, but not THAT good. The tuner has the ability to blend HD and analog signals. It's a nice feature, but unfortunately there is a slight timing difference between the two signals, so when it flips you can here the audio 'skip' a little - this option can be turned off. I will say that I found a new favorite station that is only HD, so that's a plus. Being that the HD radio signal is digital, reception is all or nothing, just like digital TV, so if you're listening to a HD only station, you'll definitely know when you lose reception.

The Bluetooth feature works great! I have a Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize and it paired quickly. The only problem is my contacts do not sync with the unit - I think it's something with my phone. I use the voice dialing on my phone to make it completely hands free. The phone feature can be accessed while listening to any audio source, not just Bluetooth audio. When a call comes in, you can set the unit to flash different light patterns as well as turn the ringtone on or off. The contacts information all appears on the screen, so if you'd like you can ignore them. It also mutes whatever you're listening to. The caller sounds kind of funny - thin may be the best way to describe it - but everything is intelligible. I placed my microphone near the top of my A-Pillar and everyone says they can hear me, it just sounds like I'm on speaker. Streaming audio via Bluetooth is easy as well. I tested it using Songza. Unfortunately for us Android users, it doesn't seem that you can control the audio from the X9500BHS. If you think it's the end of the world, check out JVC's Arsenal A95BT, my second choice.

Detaching the face is straight forward, but it feels like you're going to break it as it's held on tight and their mechanism likes to keep it that way. If you want to be careful about it, fold the face down, then pop up the little arms holding it in place on either side near its pivot points. The unit looks clean in the dash and the color options allow you to match it to your dash lights (custom setting). Unfortunately, the dimmer feature doesn't do much for you at night - it dims the display ever so slightly when you flip your headlights (if you wire up that feature). I run my buttons as a shade of red and the display as white during the day. I then created a custom white color that isn't as bright which I flip to at night. It would be awesome if it would allow you to set different colors for day/night use. I haven't had any problems reading the display in a sunny day. Just a heads up, there are no preset station buttons, so that may take some getting used to. There are Up/Down buttons next to the display that allow you to cycle through your presets, or you can bring them up in a list and use the dial or level to scroll where you'd like.

For the audiophiles out there: There aren't any time alignment options or a very in-depth EQ, but I was able to get it to sound pretty well by only adjusting the loudness and bass booster settings. There are 4 loudness settings: Off, Low, Mid, and High. If you set it to High, the top end sounds metallic, at least through my tweeters, and Low has minimal effect so I set mine in the middle. The bass booster sounds like it is somewhere around 60Hz with a medium Q - would be easier to tell with speakers that liked that frequency range. To me, a 5-band Graphic EQ (GEQ) isn't extremely helpful as the bands are too wide to be very precise. I would have preferred that it have a 3-band Parametric EQ (PEQ), but I really wanted a Pioneer and couldn't justify throwing down the money for the DEH-80PRS. The 80PRS doesn't have a PEQ either, but it has a more extensive GEQ as well as time alignment and auto EQ. The internal amplifier of the X9500 works well but I have to turn the unit up to around 25 to hear it clearly over road noise on the freeway. Take that how you wish as my car isn't very insulated. I'm not sure what MAX is, but 25 looks to be over half way.

There's more, but I'm sure this will give you an idea of the X9500BHS. Maybe I'll update this once I use the CD and USB audio sources. I've had a Kenwood MP919, Kenwood MP6025, and now this Pioneer. Coolness factor goes to the stealthy MP919 as it would flip around and look like nothing was there (a smooth black panel), but it wasn't very reliable and had some annoying problems. I think the MP6025 sounded slightly smoother than the Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS, but the Pioneer has tons of features (Bluetooth is the big one for me) and a much nicer display. Someone stole the face off my Kenwood, otherwise there still wouldn't be an Amazon review on this unit :o)

UPDATE (01/15/13)

I stated previously that I was unable to sync contacts from my Android phone to the receiver. For whatever reason, since my initial post it has worked every time. It seems to work more quickly if the Bluetooth is turned on at your phone before the Pioneer starts up. Just my experience so far. I also used the USB with my iPod Classic 160GB and it worked great! I was able to scroll through all my music on the Pioneer in whichever fashion I wanted. Worked well and sounded good. If I remember right, the USB cable I have attached (only one at the moment) is plugged into the top USB port on the back of the unit as I figured that would be referred to as USB 1. Turns out that the bottom is USB 1. Not a problem at all, just figured I'd throw it out there.

UPDATE (03/01/13)

Something I forgot to mention; if any of you purchasing this are Firefighters or EMS personnel, be warned. For whatever reason, when the unit is turned on (source is selected) nothing but constant static comes through my pager (Motorla Minitor V). If the stereo is turned off (display shows time/date) the static goes away. Having the Bluetooth on or off doesn't seem to matter. If I find a fix, I'll post it.
