Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.
Pioneer's DEH-P6800MP CD player lets you bring your iPod on the road without giving up a bit of control. Just connect Pioneer's optional iPod interface adapter, plug in your iPod, and take control of your whole music library right from the radio's motorized, slide-down faceplate. The adapter allows you to use the large Rotary Commander knob to fill in for the iPod's Click Wheel, while artist names, and track information, and even menus show up on the stereo's lush, multi-line Organic EL display.
The DEH-P6800MP can also control an optional satellite radio tuner, and play back your MP3- and WMA-loaded discs. It can even handle the AAC files you've created in Apple's iTunes software. If AM/FM radio is more your speed, you'll be amazed by clarity and power of Pioneer's Supertuner IIID+.
You won't have to worry about sound quality with the stereo's powerful built-in amplifier on hand. Pioneer's Easy EQ gives you five preset sound curves for a quick sound fix, plus you can adjust 7 different frequencies for more fine-tuning. Everybody can take turns running the show with the included remote control.
Building a bigger system? Use the three sets of preamp outputs to connect your amplifiers and subs. The DEH-P6800MP's onboard high- and low-pass filters help maximize system performance. Have a portable player? Connect it to the front panel auxiliary input.
