What's in the box
Written by Crutchfield's Alexander H.
It's no surprise Pioneer is at the forefront of car audio technology — they've been innovating for decades — but their SPH-10BT feels like a striking leap forward in DIN radio design. This 2" tall radio sheds old school design to deliver an experience that's exactly what a smartphone-oriented driver needs: a clean, simple display, big buttons, and a pop-out smartphone cradle for touchscreen control. With Pioneer's Smart Sync app downloaded on your phone, you can access sources, navigation, and more with the quick press of a button on the SPH-10BT.
Pioneer's Smart Sync app lets you use your phone's touchscreen as an easy interface to play music, make calls, use navigation, and even access 31 bands of EQ. Alternatively, use the radio's dedicated buttons to access navigation on your phone, calling, music, and messaging. And with one-touch voice control, you can do all those things using Siri® or Google Assistant and even Amazon Alexa, depending on your smartphone.
Pioneer includes an AM/FM tuner as well as making it easy to access stored music from a smartphone or USB thumb drive. And enjoy your MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and FLAC files with Pioneer's integrated MIXTRAX virtual DJ technology, which converts your music collection into a non-stop playlist, with enhanced transitions and lighting.
Get the best sound possible from your music using Pioneer's 13-band graphic equalizer. Two sets of preamp outputs equip you to make it easier to add amplifiers and subs to your system. Download Pioneer's Smart Sync and you'll gain even more sound adjustment tools.
Pioneer's ND-PS1 rear parking sensors (not included) work with the SPH-10BT to detect obstacles and display directional warnings and distance from impact on your smartphone.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
