Pros: Joystick control makes navigating features a breeze. I like the improvements over former Pioneer unit with small buttons. I got this for my IPod/ITouch. I am able to scan the best signals for radio stations with level 1 through 4 channel feature which is Pioneer's version of search/scan radio button.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Other Thoughts: I like the LCD display over the former OEL display I had. Newegg shipped this out on Monday, arrived on Tuesday, I installed it on Wednesday.

Solid Receiver
Reviewed By: Beat'n_Benz on 10/4/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Versatile and accurate unit. The USB feature is indispensable. Two aux input capability. Remote makes adjusting while driving safer. Four-channel pre-outs for external power. Excellent frequency response.
Cons: No separate sub pre-out (combined with rear) so this unit would be excellent for applications that use two channels plus sub - i.e. pick-ups. The MFC is a bit sensitive, so the remote comes in handy for troglodytes like myself with mitts the size of waffle irons.
Other Thoughts: I used the DEH-P3100UB's pre-outs to supply signal to a four-channel amp for front and rear, and daisy-chained a separate low-pass filtered signal to a mono-output amp from the four-channel's pass-through line-out for sub amplification. This setup works great for me and offsets the negative aspects of not having separate sub pre-outs in addition to front and rear. Some reviewers have bad-mouthed this unit for reasons I have not experienced. Feel safe in purchasing a solid Pioneer receiver in the lower-middle price point. It's worth the money.

Dreadful Receiver
Reviewed By: on 9/9/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easily installed.
Cons: Many negatives: Somewhat flimsy construction, counter-intuitive operation (Radio presets seem to be a subset of the standard radio bands), radio band function is wholly separate from function selector, and, to sum up, just not a good radio to use while driving. Additionally, it just does not sound even as good as the stock, 2000 Honda radio it was replacing, let alone the Aiwa that had recently failed and replaced the original Honda Radio for the last nine years. To sum up, beyond the mediocre sound, this receiver just seems like it was designed for the convenience of either the Pioneer engineering team or for people who just never got used to using most of the functions of a car radio with the need to refer to an instruction book (!). (Instruction books are good, of course, but even after understanding it, it feels like I am going through a maze just to get to another FM preset or to listen to my iPOD.)
Other Thoughts: Perhaps designing a receiver with all of these functions but with such poorly laid out controls would be appropriate in a boom box or compact system (The concept is all right, especially the idea of playing music stored on USB storage devices), but this is not something to use in a moving vehicle. Did I mention that it sounds like @#$%?
