Installed in 1995 Ford F150 XLT Ext. cab w/stock {for now} speakers.
Installation took about an hour, direct replacement of the factory HU. Pretty basic once you get the original HU out.
I’ve had my P7200HD for about a month now.
The HD sig reception is great and I’ve had no probs breaking/losing signal. Having the 3 row display is nice for song info, etc.
ipod {I’m using USB2.0 cable} controls are great and ipod can be controlled from HU or ipod, which is nice for passengers.
Audio control gives many options for tailoring personal tastes. I’ve been able to fine tune to where my factory speakers sound pretty darn good. {Still going to upgrade them though.}
I haven’t tested the CD/XM/bluetooth capabilities yet, but I’m confident that they will perform as well as the rest of the system.
On a scale of 1-10 I give the P7200HD a 9.5.
The only improvement that I would have would be a dedicated ipod connection from the rear of the unit.
Would I recommend the P7200HD?
You bet!

This is a great deck with a 3 sets of 4 volt pre-outs, a built in hd-radio tuner, and usb and ipod capabilities. Great deck for functionality. The only two things I would have liked to see are a fold down face to cover the cd entry slot and a second usb port in the rear of the unit to allow a hidden usb connection somewhere in your vehicle. Still beggers can’t be choosers and I found through extensive comparison that this product had more of the features that I was looking for the best price. Thank amazon for the lowest price and super saver shipping.

After reviewing several articles, specifications, and prices of all the additional add-ons –Ipod, Blue tooth, and HD receiver which this head unit included; I choose the pioneer DEH-7200HD. I am very pleased with this purchase. Pioneer makes great electronic gear without going to extremes on pricing. I have owned both McIntosh and Crown Stereo separates in the past. Today, I own Pioneer’s Elite Home Entertainment units and HD television set and am very happy! (Crown doesn’t make home units anymore and McIntosh is very pricy, even for their car audio equipment.) I had no problem installing this head unit in my car, and setup was a snap! My suggestion would be to set down and write out what you want in a head unit and the prices of the EXTRA add-ons if bought separately.

I like this Head Unit and I’d buy it again for what I want in a head unit for all the reasons you can see in the description and other reviews, but be warned it has one major detractor in my opinion.
The Multi Control knob which is basically a volume knob on steroids and can not only twist but can be tilt clicked up down left and right and center is sometimes a pain to operate when driving.
I can’t count the times that I have tried to hit the center click which activates the main menu so that I could fine adjust some audio only to accidently hit a directional click (sending me usually not just off song, but to root of directory) instead because of road vibration. It’s kinda hard to hit center click consistantly when the car is moving and your driving. You have to look down, make sure your in the center and then hope the next pebble you drive over doesnt jerk you off your tiny target. I’d much prefer a multiple button setup. Also even when you hit the clicks right sometimes if going over a bumpy road you might click with alot more force than you intend to and I’m constantly afraid of breaking the only knob that controls my stereo. Know that I have most of the fine tuning done I try to use the remote to operate it when possible, But I still need to get into the menu occasionally when I drive and it’s a pita to do unless I pull over. I drive a Subaru Legacy wagon not a pickup truck so my ride isn’t all that rough although streets around here could be better. Why do we need a Multi knob in a non hand held platform. Multi-knobs are great for hand-held, they suck for a moving target.

I drive an 18wheeler for a living and put this in the truck and listen to it 12 hours a day. Love the sound, easy to use, looks good, and lots of connections for usb, ipod, aux. Great cd player.
