Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

RECOMMENDED

This Pioneer is very slick. It’s easily the best-looking set-up here, and displays the most amount of data – which is just as well, because it not only has front and rear USB ports, but a CD player, Bluetooth and an SD card reader. It’s not cheap, but it found all our stations and lets you rewind live DAB radio. Plus, the twisting propellor dial makes navigating the menus simple.
