This is exactly why I'm looking at this radio. I have an 85 Dodge Ramcharger with NO modern luxuries. I'm looking at this to get Bluetooth and Pandora capability in my truck. On top of that, my speedo doesn't work, so I can use this until I get that fixed (the radio is cheaper than fixing the speedo. 😆 😆).
Just installed this in my 72 El Camino SS. So far so good, only thing I'm don't like is I can't set the the unit custom color to be just white, it's more of a blue color.
I wish on the media playing screen, you could control the volume on your screen. With that, this would be THE definitive headunit for hidden systems. Be able to hide the sph10bt somewhere, and use your phone/tablet to control it. No need to mess with the factory headunit at all.
@@mattfinlay7476 Not at all. I love the clean look and i actually prefer the up down volume. My smartphone is 5.5" and its black so most people think its part of the head unit which is nice lol. Have had it for 6 months and I still love it.
Will this work with Drivemode app? And can you change the clock style? I don't like the two digits on top and two below. Just want to see HH:MM. Not HH MM.
@@franshagen7540 Hi is there a way to go back to the old version ? Mine somehow updated itself and I HATE the new version , when earth they changed and made it worse !
Will it still function correct if i dont want to put it in the radio craddle? Like if its in a diff holder i have? Also can it run on a tablet instead of phone?
I got this stereo when it got released and it worked great for a few months and I was happy I made the choice but after a while it had problems with the pioneer smart sync app and it would not connect to the stereo, so I had to set it to Bluetooth. I had high hopes for this unit but I was tired of the unit not able to connect correctly so I sold it. Also i always install pioneer brand units in all my vehicles but this unit let me down.
Hey bro-is there more than one version of this style deck? A little confused as I see online a sph-10bt and then a sph-c10bt. Maybe even another one? Spch19bt? Maybe even more? They all the same unit or something offered in other countries?
@@Qualitymobilevideo I just seen a few posts of people claiming to have tablets , and wasn't sure if they were being serious. I can't find one with it done anywhere
Am using it with a 8inch tablet...i have put a small plastic block ( size of a phone) on the back of the tablet using double sided tape...the plastic block fits well in the cradle..works great!
Can you play am/fm radio without your cell phone? and can you save radio stations on the physical unit like a "regular" radio or can you only store stations through the app on the phone?
it's kind of weird, I got an s10 standard and it seemed to have some issues connecting until I figured I also needed to press "YES" on the radio. My major gripe with this is that the wired mode unfortunately isn't usable. The main issue is obviously it doesn't seem to pass the sound through USB due to the way Samsung implements USB OTG (I think), so basically it only allows control of the radio but phone audio comes from the phone... Even then there are other glitches and nitpicks such as not being able to work in both modes - if one would unplug the cable it would be nice to fall back to bluetooth, and when connecting to prioritize USB, but as it stands it only allows changing modes through the "MENU" when the app id disconnected... Which is like 20 seconds to do. It also doesn't seem to start correctly with USB plugging (even with USB AUTO ON), and with the S10 using USB then bugs out the Bluetooth "Audio" toggle on the "Bluetooth device settings", when selecting if we want "Calls", "audio" and "Contacts" Audio will punch back to off with a failure on Android. Anyway, I just use bluetooth with it and sets USB AUTO OFF , so that I can keep the phone cahrging. Everything seems to work well enough over bluetooth but it's a shame we couldn't use this more like a true Android Auto wired unit. I would also expect better audio quality over wire but as I said, that's not working as audio doesn't pass over USB.
Can I use android auto with this ? So if android auto was running on my android phone ...can I use it while the phone is in cradle.. no backup camera was a deal breaker
There is no backup camera input on this stereo. Stereos with no screens have no video or backup camera inputs. This specific stereo is just your phone connecting via bluetooth or USB. The only way to use a backup camera is with a wireless backup camera that connects to your phone wirelessly. So something like this: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/vtl500r.html
Any recommendations for a wireless backup camera? Been looking at the LOOK IT and I think it may be the best option. I wouldn't think it would be an issue running to the same phone that you're using on the deck.
Well I bought it it does work without Having to put out the duck But the to rear speaker did not work on it and it was not my speakers Bar another radio and everything went well
Hi guys. I have a super small area to mount a Car radio reciever. About 6 inch across, 2 inches high, and 6 inches deep. Dose anyone know of a Make or Model, thxs 🤞
hey man whats the difference b/w 2 RCA vs 3 RCA output setup, does 2 RCA output lacks in audio quality vs 3 RCA & can we connect 3 amplifiers with 2 RCA stereo.
So it's nothing to do really with audio quality, instead it's relevant to expandability with an external amplifier. The best situation is 3 sets of RCA outputs, one set for front speakers, one set for rear speakers and the final set for the amplifier
Believe it or not, i have no ideea why i can't stop this unit. Mounted it , works fine but cannot turn it off unless i remove the front. Nevertheless, i have no clue why i can't change radio stations frum the unit, have to use the phone all the time. Read the manual, they say to use buttons after stations have been memorized but mine just shifts frequency, doesn't change station. Any ideeas please? Thanks.
After a while this will stop connecting automatically via Bluetooth. Will have to connect manually each time, still sync app will not pair with device 9 out of 10 times. Audio quality is very good. It easily drives my jbl components.
This might be the ticket for my 1933 ford resto mod. Change out the old Alpine unit that doesn’t even do BT and I can have nav, make calls, play all my music.
CONS (that i found online) : NO MUTE! you have to keep pressing volume down many times, imagine if u listening loud music - NO USB cable option in the back of stereo - USB is on the Left side, and phone holder swivels to the left only - NO FAST CHARGING - Phone holder may hit your dash when extended (depending on your car dashboard design) - OTHERS CONS PPL MENTION: seems you can't save Radio Stations , and app has issues with 'Auto-Connect' some people complain about having to manually connect every time they get into the car.
I bought it. I'm very disappointed that the app doesn't support Siri and using Siri without the app is buggy. Then, as far as I know, if you don't use the app, there's no way to have radio presets. I wish I would have shopped around more. Any ordinary BT head unit would be better if I could find a way to good way to mount my phone without the cradle.
The only thing this is missing is wireless charging in the phone mount. Awesome stereo.
Good call
I can't believe that isn't included! Is there a version that has it?
And DAB
@@olis_garage not that I have found so far.
@@zacharius119 probably would be quite easy to put one of those thin wireless charge pads on the holder, amazing it's not standard

You can in the middle picture go up or down for volume and sideways to change number
You can, just swipe up/down on your screen
Got this 2 days ago and all I can say is that I love it
Im planning to get it in a week or two. Do you still love it 3 months later?
Doesn't it get annoying with no knob volume control? I think it will drive me crazy adjusting the volume with buttons..
Just ordered one. Will have it this week.

Does it have to be on the cradle for it to work
Interesting. Gen 2 should include wireless charging with the dock to make it more seamless.
Really tho
Makes perfect sense
And costs 300 bucks
Can you do the review the optional reverse sensor ND-PS1 for SPH-10BT please?
So many options in the audio settings software app, but only 2 pairs hardware of RCA output?
Please tell me if it plays youtube app normal from phone?
Damn. 31 band eq? Nice
Bought it just because of that feature over the 2din apple car play unit, don't regret it works very well and it's kind off a dsp on a budget 😜
That's why I'm looking at these units. Why spend a bunch of money when I have a better screen on my phone.
Aw man a pop face radio. I miss the old pull out radios. Walking thru the mall looking stupid holding my radio in my hand.

Hello. Can music be played from a usb pren drive directly and use smart sync for other things at the same time? Thanks
Does the phone have to be attached I the unit to use the sync? Can the phone be away from the stereo to use sync?
Hey man, I won’t know how I do it or what I press but sometimes the stereo says ‘pause’ why is this?
Would appreciate the help! Thanks
Happen to know of a bluetooth steering wheel control for those that dont have steering wheel controls from the start?
could i use a small tablet and mount the tablet else where other than the mount supplied. Assuming its bluetooth. Tia
Yep. I use the i pad on a dash mount. Speed doesn’t work as you need the phone chip for this.
Can you use Android Auto awhile listening a music or one need to be turn off first? like phone calls , etcs....
Can I have a shop hook this up with my eclipse 21010 equalizer ?? I love the look of an eq under the deck
Does not connecting the handbrake wire reduce functionality in some way? If so, is there a bypass option or bypass device?
You can ground it. You will not be able to access some features without it grounded.
Hook the handbrake in with the grounding wire, that's how I did another stereo and it worked for the last guy so I just did it again
Can the unit be used via the steering wheel controls? Not sure why you did not cover this or hav the unit in a car?
Can I use Google Assistant with this radio?
I'm wondering that as well. The Google assistant is hella helpful for when your on a long car trip and need to settle and argument
