The DEH-P6900UB is now the universal hub for a truly multi-media USB experience in the car. Using the Built-in USB Control, it opens the door for full iPod audio control, Portable MP3 Device Control and Mass Storage (USB Memory) as well. Do more with Pioneer 'uBus' USB Control - not just iPod direct control*, 'uBus' also controls many MP3 players and USB memory devices as well. Access, control and high-resolution playback are supremely fast and straightforward. Simply plug in USB-compatible equipment (such as an iPod® nano, iPod Video, or another portable digital player or USB memory device) into the included USB connector.

Buyer's feedback: - * Incredible Features ...
I purchased the DEH-6900UB for its functionality. Here are the cons:
-Menu navigation is complex at first. It does take some getting used to and menu settings are not intuitive. For example, setting the clock was accomplished via the function-settings menu, not by pushing and holding the clock button, as on my previous headunits.

-The 250GB USB drive that I purchased for music did not work. It should have, according to the manual. I get the "No Device" code. This is caused by a lack of power from the head unit to the USB drive. The workaround is a USB power adaptor and a Y-cable--complicated, but it works.

-Only comes with a blue display. While the type of display can be changed to show clocks, animations, etc, you're stuck with the color blue. Other units offer a wide range of colors, but this is a minor issue.

Pros:
-Dimmable display
-USB functionality. Other than the issue mentioned above, I have been able to get WMA and mp3 files to play from a flash stick. The menues here are easy to follow. I have the artists in my root directory and the albumns in subdirectories. Works like a champ!
-aux inputs. I can also hook my non-iPod mp3 player into the aux input via the headphone jack on my mp3 player. Great function, and songs can be controlled right from the mp3 player. a stereo aux jack must be purchased separately.
-Great graphic Equalizer. While difficult to navigate, the eq options are amazing. The default settings offer a variety from talk radio to boomin' bass, but you can dial in that perfect sound if you wish.
-Satellite radio and Bluetooth ready. Although separate adaptors are needed, this is a huge benefit.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the DEH-P6900UB. With a few minor adjustments (and more power to the USB device), this would be a 5 star head unit.

Buyer's feedback: - I love it, except for one flaw
This is a great unit overall. It allows me to seamlessly control my iPod through the deck while I'm driving, and the iPod can remain hidden when I'm not in the car. It sounds great, and works like a charm.

BUT

The iPod interface can be very annoying. Unless you make playlists on your iPod, it is a HUGE pain to find a particular song. Rather than have the song/artist/genre etc lists in simple order of 26 letters (a,b,c, etc) they have EVERY song and EVERY artist on the list. so if you have 2,000 songs, you have to scroll through up to 1,999 songs to find it! Who's the idiot who let that slide?

Basically, just make playlists, and you'll be set. Other than that flaw, it's a great deck.

Buyer's feedback: - * Fabuloso ...
Definitivamente es genial, este radio puede hacer de todo incluso impresiona a todos los que van en el carro.
lo unico que le puedo criticar es que el CONTROL REMOTO se daña inmediatamente cuando le da la luz del sol directamente en el altas temperaturas, cosa que en un auto no podemos controlar que esta exposicion suceda... mi recomendacion es que lo compren, pero protejan el control...y a la Pionner que haga mejores controles o fabrique un protector para ellos.

Buyer's feedback: - DEH-P690UB / DEH-P6900UB - BEST BUY!
When I decided it was time to upgrade my car's audio, I sat to write my requirements list:

1- Needed detachable face (for theft reduction purposes). Face attach/detachment procedure shall be easy, and the mechanism sturdy.
2- #1 above meant that, for ease of use, no cables should attach to the front face.
3- Wanted USB input, so I could bring MP3 with easy. (USB cable at back, see #2 above).
4- If possible, easy direct IPOD control through the face controls, via #3 above.
5- Because of the large amounts of MP3 that nowadays fit on USB sticks and IPODS, the face display should allow easy navigation through folders, playlists, whatever... and the controls should be easy to use.
6- AUX input, for those devices without USB control. (AUX input at back, see #2 above).

Also good to have, but not required on my list:
7- Mute Input, so external devices can mute the audio (sometimes I am a sort of inventor)
8- Bluetooth capability

With my list ready, I started searching offers by Sony, JVC, Alpine, Kenwood, Eclipse, Dual, and others...

Amazingly, VERY few did make it to the list. Of those few, many could only meet my requirements by means of external boxes, which brought a new requirement: No external boxes if at all possible! Have you seen how little space there is in a car for installing stuff? How is anyone supposed to install the head unit plus a box for USB plus a box for Bluetooth, plus whatever else?

At the end, the list came down to a few Kenwood's an 1 Pioneer model. Pioneer won because it felt to me as much easier to use. Also, Kenwood's face attach/dettach mechanism felt cumbersome and fragile.

And so I bought a Pioneer DEH-P690UB Premier Unit. (DEH-P6900UB is the same unit, but without the IPOD Dock cable, and a shorter guarantee period).

With this unit, everything is inside the head unit, nothing else to buy, no external devices to add (unless you want an External CD Changer, which I believe are useless nowadays, or the Bluetooth adapter which I didn't bought).

I have been using it for a few days, and I think it is a great buy. It offers lots of features for a low price, it is very easy to use, the installation was easy, the instructions good enough.

I have used it with an IPOD nano, which stays hidden on the globe box, so everything is always neat for passengers and me. The IPOD is also rechaged by the Pioneeer unit.

I thought that I would miss the usual "6 buttons for station selection", but using the multicontrol is as easy, and can be done safely without looking while driving.

I haven't had the chance to try a portable hard disk, but I have read other people results, and looks like its OK as long as the hard disk's format is "FAT" (Not NTFS), and the power draw is small, as the USB power capabilities are very limited.
Also, power up time might be slow when having to scan through thousands of MP3, but this seems to be a problem with other brands as well, and not unique to Pioneer.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great look and performance ...
First and foremost, the package came just as described by amazon.con and as described on the Pioneer website. The package was delivered right on time. I had the unit installed today, I've tried checking everything out but I haven't had enough time. So far I can say it's great, sound is amazing (CD, Tuner and iPod) and looks very sharp, fancy on the dash. It loads my iPod very quickly and keeps it charged. I keep it in the glove-box now Navigating through the menu isn't really hard, you just gotta get an initial feel for it, really straight forward. I already had some Rockford-Fosgate high end speakers installed so that helped out with the sound quality. But I noticed the huge difference between the factory stereo sound quility and the Pioneer DEH-P6900UB sound quility. So no matter what speakers you havew, you should notice a favourable difference. The control is easy to use as long as you point it at the head unit. The price is great. Overall I can say I am very satisfied with it and I hope to get a better feel for it as the days go by.
