(5 out of 5) by J. Taylor on Mar 25, 2009This unit was very easy to install and works great with my FH-P800BT stereo. I bought this unit with the future of radio in mind. At this time, most stations re-broadcast their "mother" channel in HD. Ideally this won't always be the case.
works very well
(5 out of 5) by Kenneth Howell on Mar 22, 2009This unit works very well just plug it in and you are hooked up with HD Radio
Great addition
(5 out of 5) by R. Miranda on Mar 16, 2009After getting an HD radio in my car, it was boring driving my wife's car. I purchased the HD unit and it integrated with her AVIC 700BT unit with no issues. Sounds great.

Disappointed
(1 out of 5) by K. Bradshaw on Apr 29, 2008 (Arizona)Can not store presets when using the GEX-P10HD in conjunction with the 9800BT head unit. Will not display frequency if radio station is broadcasting ID (KYOT shows instead of 95.5). The tuning is slow and I can no longer use the original FM tuner (unless I unplug the HD unit) since the antenna can only go one place. I could install a splitter but, I would be cutting signal strength in half and, since I travel often, don't want to sacrifice range.
I thought Pioneer would be more polished than this. I'm very disappointed.

Breath new life into your receiver with HD Radio
(5 out of 5) by Almas Khan on May 1, 2009I just purchased this unit for my Accord 07 with an Avic-f700bt and I have to say this is an incredible improvement over standard FM and AM. The sound quality is absolutely stunning for OTA (over the air).
I was on the fence for some time whether to get XM/Sirius or HD Radio originally I was going with satellite for the main reason of the overwhelming lineup they have. The problem is I love high fidelity audio and crisp audio which is what really gets me enjoying my music. Satellite radio is quite the opposite instead of quality they provide you over a hundred channels of low quality audio i.e. hissing, popping, and scratching sounds on most music stations and even worse for talk radio( average bit rate of music stations 24 - 36 kbps).
After doing extensive reading on the issue I decided to bite the bullet and purchase this unit. Installation took about 15 minutes total, and I did not use the FM extender cable for obvious reasons from other reviews.
I live in Houston so there's a good amount of options for radio. The first time I turned this on my jaw dropped absolutely stunning audio fidelity. Crisp mids and highs and smooth bass, I was skeptical at first but hearing is believing. Don't be fooled by other reviews that claim to get no reception or bad quality. If you live in a city with HD Stations and your within 60 miles of the stations your sure to get incredible quality. I live at most 40 miles from most transmission towers and the sound is undeniable.
My only gripe about this unit is the information read out. My Avic unit for some reason is only capable of displaying one line of text which you get to choose as either the station name, artist, song, or no text( haven't seen traffic or weather yet so not sure about that). Another issue is the presets when you pull up the list of presets all fields are blank except 1 - 5 numbering. Not a big deal but a small problem.
All in all this is a terrific unit and if your looking for a solid upgrade for radio go HD Radio which will be a better investment in the long term than satellite radio unless your content with satellite radio quality then HD Radio is the way to go!
