The SPH-C10BT is Pioneer’s flagship smartphone* receiver and is designed to let you use features of your smartphone* in a safe, direct and convenient way that you have never seen before. Pioneer's SPH-10BT digital media receiverturns into a touchscreen receiver with voice control when combined with a smartphone. (Use the slider to see the stereo with and without a phone.) A stereo designed for smartphone integration It took me roughly 15 minutes each time just to get Smart Sync on my phone to pair with the stereo after the first couple of times doing the test under similar conditions. For round five I tried connecting with an iPhone XS Max and had no issues, but I didn't do much testing beyond the connection because I really wanted to see how the cradle would work with a larger phone. Vik's team took a few hours to install and test the Pioneer system with a subwoofer, which is a typical amount of time. (The subwoofer was Pioneer's TS-WX400DA Class D Active Subwoofer.) If you install the system yourself, make sure you don't put the stereo where it may interfere with normal operation of the vehicle, or someplace that could injure a passenger in case of a sudden stop or anywhere near the car's heater. Pioneer also recommends installing the unit at an angle of less than 45 degrees for optimum performance.

The Smart Sync app offers users four different choices for how they want their display to look as they drive: Music mode, Dash mode, Driver Pilot mode, and Personal photo mode. We installed Pioneer SPH-10BT in a 2004 Subaru Forester and found it worked exceptionally well. Avenue Sound also installed a subwoofer, connecting that to our new receiver as well. If you're one of those drivers who likes a big bass sound with your music, the TS-WX400DA subwoofer make the sound loud and deep, which we could control through the Smart Sync app. You can also choose to have the shortcuts for source, voice commands, navigation, text, and phone dialing along the bottom of the screen or not. With the display split into thirds, I can only see part of the song info as it scrolls along, but it does show album artwork when using a wired connection (more on that in a minute). Take full advantage of Pioneer Smart Sync version 4.3 by updating your in-dash receiver with the latest firmware (required).Pioneer's SPH-10BT, the perfect match for today's on-the-go lifestyle, offers a new approach to smartphone connectivity. Simply mount your smartphone¹ in the built-in cradle², then connect (either wirelessly or wired,) to the Pioneer Smart Sync app³ and enjoy a smarter connected driving experience. Specially designed for easy use, the SPH-10BT features direct access buttons that work with the Pioneer Smart Sync app to bring multimedia capabilities such as navigation, hands-free calling, messaging, and voice-command to a single-DIN receiver.

I didn’t play much with an Android device, but according to the manual, as long as you're using the Smart Sync app, everything will work the way it should, whether you use USB or Bluetooth to connect to your phone. After all, that's how the stereo is designed to be used — in conjunction with the app. The navigation screen looks pretty much like the navigation screen on my phone. I can type in a destination or use my voice to speak it, and I can choose between different kinds of maps depending on how I plan to get around.

Car

Besides bring up smart applications, Pioneer also has a way to add sensors to your old car, which typically don't have it installed. With the Pioneer SPH-10BT you can get a ND-PST Rear Parking Sensor kit (which will need to be professionally installed), to help prevent fender benders and other minor bumps to your car. A 31-band EQ could easily provide hours of fun tweaks if I was using it in a car with a decent stereo system. It even includes several presets and a pair of customizable options that I can save. I don't really know much about "Super Todoroki Sound" but there are three settings for it, or I can just turn it off.

They're easy to find without even looking down while driving. There's also aUSB port (with a somewhat annoying port cover) above the left-hand buttons, and a small display screen in the middle of the stereo's face. You can see a little bit of text on the display, but most of the action will be on the phone's screen. Setting up the stereo and your phone We also liked the added voice control the device brought, and it was easy to set up voice commands thanks to the Smart Sync app. We were able to easily use verbal commands to find our favorite song or station. data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/Halfords Car Audio fitting & installation service" Pros: really versatile unit and a good, adjustable out/in up/down phone holder that easily holds my iPhone 11 ProMax in an UAG case.

In addition, Pioneer Smart Sync v4.5 enables you to keep up with your vehicle information including engine performance, live data, and more.

Safe Access To Your Smartphone– Utilising the Pioneer Smart Sync app, you can connect to a wide variety of commonly used applications, including various music and mapping apps such as Spotify®# and Google Maps™#. It lets you easily access all the compatible apps you use on a daily basis without distracting you from the road. One thing that took a while to figure out was the "App Control" setting at setup — if I hadn't launched the Smart Sync app on my iPhone, the stereo would use the iPhone as the audio source whether I had chosen "Wired" or "Bluetooth" as my App Control default.
