You can watch a movie on the screen when you're parked on a Saturday night, or play a DVD through your rear seat video setup on the road. Touchscreen receivers allow you to breeze through menus with the tip of your finger. Most DVD receivers feature a USB input for audio from your iPod, and the ability to add an adapter that allows video to display on the screen. Some receivers even offer connections for a center speaker and a subwoofer, so you can build a full-fledged theater in your car, just like at home. Packed with features The AVH-X8500BHS sits at the top of Pioneer's DVD receiver lineup for 2013, offering a 6.95" touchscreen display, customizable display colors, built-in Bluetooth®, and an HD Radio™ tuner, along with some cool new features that'll really enhance your car audio and video experience. Plus, you can remove the AVH-X8500BH's detachable face — an unusual feature on DVD receivers — when you leave the car, giving you peace of mind when you've parked in a questionable spot. Check out how these impressive features will improve your drive: Built-in Bluetooth: Enjoy hands-free calling with your compatible phone, plus the ability to wirelessly stream and control music from your phone or other Bluetooth devices. Built-in HD Radio™ tuner: You'll notice the impressive sonic advantages right away — FM broadcasts that are near-CD quality, with AM that's as good as what you're used to on FM. You can tune into multiple channels on the same frequency, for more entertainment choices. Plus, the iTunes® tagging feature lets you save song info, so you can purchase the tracks you like later. AppRadio Mode: With the addition of Pioneer's CD-IU201S cable, you can launch and control compatible iPhone apps from the face of your receiver, putting a variety of music, navigation, social media, and other apps at your command. You can learn more and see the latest compatible apps here. iPhone 5 compatibility: You can use your iPhone 5 with this Pioneer, including AppRadio Mode and video transfer. You'll need to purchase a Pioneer cable kit , and get a free firmware update from Pioneer. Optional satellite radio: Add a SiriusXM tuner and subscription for nationwide access to programming you can't get anywhere else — coast-to-coast reception is a huge plus if you travel constantly. And you'll never have to worry about data charges or coverage. Advanced touchscreen controls: Touch Slide technology offers greater control of receiver functions. Want a new EQ curve? Just draw it on the screen with your finger and you've got it. And you can browse video files through thumbnail images — just touch them to check out a sneak preview. Dual USB ports: Two ports on the receiver's rear panel add to your entertainment possibilities, and allow you to use one for a permanent connection. AppRadioLIVE makes it easy Pioneer's innovative AppRadioLIVE streamlines your app info and functions into one easy-to-use interface. You'll enjoy quick access to your music, media, calendar, and other sources you subscribe to, just by downloading the AppRadioLIVE app and syncing your services. AppRadioLIVE works with your apps to provide visual map guidance and access to points of interest, as well as the ability to search for concerts, shows, and other local events of interest. And you can show several sources of information simultaneously, quickly shifting from one to another with a touch of your finger. Roll with your music The AVH-X8500BHS is built to play your music, no matter what medium you prefer. You can connect your iPod® or iPhone® to one of the rear USB input and use the receiver's controls to access your playlists, while tools like Alphabet Search and Link Search help you find the song you want, fast. You can also play music files from many Android™ phones when your Android is plugged into the front-panel USB port — see the "Details" tab for more info on device compatibility. If you're a fan of streaming Internet radio, connect your iPhone to the receiver with an optional cable and take charge of your Pandora® account from the touchscreen, complete with thumbs-up and thumbs-down controls. Or use the Bluetooth link to tap in via your Android device. And don't forget, you can also enjoy all your CDs, DVDs, discs full of MP3 or WMA music, plus SD cards and USB storage devices loaded with music. Customizable display and excellent video performance You can also change the receiver's appearance to match your dash by choosing from five display colors and 112 key panel illumination options. And when you're ready to get the party started, the MIXTRAX feature creates a DJ-like experience with content from your iPod, iPhone, or Android, adding special effects between songs and variable-color lighting that pulses with the beat of your music. The receiver's 6.95" LCD screen plays DVDs and other video content in bright, clear detail when you're parked. You can keep your passengers entertained by sending video from the receiver to a rear-seat screen — a huge bonus during long road trips. And since the AVH-8500BHS has dual-zone A/V capabilities, you can listen to a different source up front while a movie's on in the back. You'll be able to view video content from your iPod or IPhone with the addition of an optional cable. And you can play it safe when you throw it into reverse by plugging in a rear-view camera. Advanced App Mode gives you touchscreen control over the apps in your phone. Tune the sound to your taste This Pioneer sports an 8-band equalizer for making your music sound perfect in your car, and you'll find an auto-equalization feature to tune your system (microphone required). Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever perks up the flat sound of compressed music by restoring high-frequency information. If you're looking to build a killer system, three pairs of preamp outputs make it easier to connect external amplifiers Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. 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.

The touchscreen display allows you to control this unit and a paired Bluetooth device, or a connected component such as your iPod/iPhone or USB mass storage class device. Menus appear on screen for making function choices, audio adjustments, and setting up the system. The unit's touchscreen display is motorized. The 6.95" touchscreen display electronically slides down to load and eject your discs and SD/SDHC cards. The angle of the motorized touchscreen display can also be adjusted to five different positions to meet your viewing needs in the car.

The head unit will display the caller's information and an audible ring tone will be heard through your vehicle's speaker during an incoming call. You can manually answer an incoming call or have the unit automatically answer the call. The AVH-X8500BHS allows you to carry on a phone conversation from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone using the head unit's external microphone and your car audio speakers. During a conversation you can adjust the volume, as well as switch between the Private Mode (talking directly on your cell phone) and the Hands Free Mode.

Voice Control: If your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone is equipped with the voice control feature, you can use voice commands to make calls. Note: Advanced phone operations that require attention, such as dialing numbers on the monitor or adjusting Bluetooth settings, are prohibited while driving. The vehicle's parking brake must be engaged to access these functions. External Microphone: During your wireless phone call, you can talk into the head unit's included external microphone, and listen to the other party through the vehicle's speaker system. The external microphone provides better performance in noisy environments than the integrated microphone found on the front-panel of many aftermarket or factory radios. The microphone features a 13' cord that plugs into the back of the radio, and comes with an adjustable visor-mount clip. The microphone measures 0.475" (diameter) x 1.445" (depth).

Overall its great. BIggest disappointment is the APPs are a joke, really don't use them. Most don't work well at all. Just leave your phone attached and use that instead. Its a LOT less hassle. Pioneer should not do things they cannot do well ... and the app radio is just a royal fail,IMHO. I mostly use the USB2 using a USB thumb drive plugged into the back all the time. Its random isn't so random. That said, I use it all the time and just skip stuff a lot. I WISH WISH WISH ... I could skip BACKWARDS while in random play on USB2. Its really annoying that you can't. I've also found it seems to be less than random, with certain songs showing up over and over again ... I even think the same order unless you do a database rebuild. Not sure how to force that rebuild. Originally it played same some every 20-30 songs ... then after the rebuild of database it was better. Another annoyance is every time you plug in your iphone ... it starting playing the ipod ... thats super annoying and undesirable. It charges the phone very well. Use Waze (GPS app) on the iphone all the time, audio comes across on stereo nicely. I phone the build in phone capability very UNUSABLE. I have not been able to use the built in mic or hear it in my truck. Its basically worthless. Do no waste your money buying any cord other than a USB to lightning cord --- you will regret it !! Nothing works with app radio or video. I even bought the video parking override thing ... not working Pros: Detachable Faceplate Two USB connections (most others have one), one is capable of charging Pandora works pretty well Interface overall looks good Works well with steering wheel remove charges iphone backup camera capability works nice (did require tweaking system settings to work correctly) Cons: USB lack of real random, lack of ability to skip backwards APP Radio sux Auto ipod when plugging in iphone super annoying Was this review helpful?

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 31 July 14 Written By Mr Blue, Aurora, CO on Saturday, August 02, 2014 I have had this unit for 3 months now and the main reason i purchased it was to integrate it with my RAZR MAXX HD cell phone for digital quality music via the App Radio Program and full control of my cell phone into my 07 Acura RDX (the stereo is mounted in the console as i had to leave the factory Navigation system for the rest of information system to operate; at this time). I have Focal front and rear component speakers powered by a 400 watt kicker amp and an 10" Kicker compact RT sub woofer powered by a Kicker 800 watt amp. The App Radio program is useless in the "Out of the Box" state; i was very disappointed as that is the reason for the purchase of this unit. Thanks to a few individuals in these reviews that mentioned the ARLiberator app that would allow full control of my cell phone thru the 7" stereo display did i feel a glimmer of hope not all was lost. It took me a few hours of following on line videos however i was able to "Root" my phone, install the ARLiberator app and now have full use of my cell phone via the stereo. My only 2 issue so far is the sensitivity of the 7" display is not adjustable as when i try to scroll thru my Soundcloud playlist it has tendency to play the song i touch on the screen and there still is no access the equalizer (i currently have it flat and adjusted the HP and LP filters on my amp to tune the sound). I tried several apps however they cut more of the freq range than allow. Pros: 3 4v pre-outs Cons: Factory App Radio program is useless IMO Cant access the equalizer or any audio adjustments when connected via the App Radio Mode Auto equilzer didnt adjust for bass very well; i am going to try a different mic.

Easy to install but Crutchfield sent an incorrect plug adapter and I was forced to buy locally rather than wait for correct connector to be delivered. Owner's manual print size too small for easy reading and I think requires an engineering degree to fully understand. Connection to Android device too complicated and costly. Learning curve too steep, IMHO. Pros: Nice large touch screen with array of customization. Good sound production. Unit seems high quality. Cons: See above. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Love it! Written By Craig, Sunbury, OH on Saturday, May 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Really happy with the purchase of this radio. Was looking at several brands and based off other reviews I went with the pioneer over the JVC and Kenwood, mostly based off of features and reviews. Install was pretty simple really, called tech support a few times to make sure I had the right wires to connect into for camera reverse and the park brake. Tech support was awesome, very descriptive on which wires to use and where they were located. Pulled old radio out and connected all speaker wires up on the harness and the power and ground wires and that was pretty much it. Pros: Button lights can change many different colors, screen lights look cool and have motion blurs. Lots of options, blue tooth works good and sounds good, my Iphone5 works great with it, pandora streams to radio flawlessly and it sounds great. Fit in my F150 like it was built for it. Cons: I don't really have any cons but if I had to choose something to complain about I guess the buttons could be a bit bigger, but I'm really reaching to find something to complain about so.

Written By markk110, Osceola, WI on Saturday, May 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I put this in my Vibe, mostly gain the backup camera and use GPS apps that will update without the price tag. The apps are glitchy and some still try to use the phone as well. I didn't buy a 7" screen to try to work with my phone when I'm driving. Bluetooth, etc. all function great. I like the radio controls much better on this over my JVC. My big pet peeve is the radio turns off as soon as you go into app mode and there is no option to run apps and the radio at the same time. This has to change. Pros: Radio controls Cons: The radio automatically not functioning in app mode. GPS apps are glitchy. Was this review helpful?

Best stereo head unit I have owned. I liked it so mush I bought two! One for my daily driver (Ford Ranger) and one for my weekend toy (944) Pros: Everything except navigation in one package. Cool equalizers and screen settings - easy to use. Bluetooth is great Cons: Navigation is an extra unit - not built in. But for the cost this isn't a big deal. Cost of extra cables to connect the HDMI to cell phone. Was this review helpful?

Excellent product. Never had so much music at my fingertips. Works great with my nano I pod and my new I pod touch. Bluetooth works great and love the extra features. Pros: Have 6 sourceso of music at my fingertips at any one time. Cons: The removable face isn't working like its supposed to every time. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great unit, make sure it fits! Written By pa284602, Reno, NV on Friday, April 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this on a 2011 Ram 1500. I had to make some serious modifications to the internal receiver mountings to fit this unit. This is not a fault of the unit at all, as Ram stock radios are specifically made to not fit double din after market radios, just a warning for future owners installing on a Ram. The unit itself is amazing! As a previous owner of Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood, and Clarion, this unit surpasses them all. I've installed this with Sirius, subwoofer, and backup camera and all work flawlessly. My stock speakers not sound amazing. Loading tunes from the USB is super fast. Steering wheel controls work great with separate adapter (Crutchfield lists some recommendations) Blue tooth connectivity is a touch glitchy. Having Sirius, radio, CD/DVD, USB, Aux, and RGB, what more can you ask for! Pros: Ease of use, bright to display, fast data transfer. Simple layout Cons: No Bluray player (but I don't plan on watching a ton of movies on a 7" screen), blue tooth connectivity with my phone is a touch glitchy. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Good product Written By james, 33952 on Thursday, April 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great head unit! Have had this radio for about a month. App radio is the way to go and if you go a step further to root your phone and use ARliberator it is going to be even better! The multiple media playback options are great. Would've rated all 5's but there is sound quality loss when playing Pandora. Maybe it is something with my phone Samsung s4 I haven't figured out yet but it is there a difference. Also the picture color on the backup camera is off and cannot be fixed with altering the settings. Still exploring this as well. Pros: Multiple play back options for media, good blue tooth and microphone features, Cons: Can get rid of beep when buttons are pressed. Screen is harder to see in day light with sunroof open. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Absolutely LOVE this RADIO. Looks Great Sounds Great syncs with phone and Ipod as soon as I attach the face plate. Detachable Face was the selling factor for me. Love that you can turn off screen light for long trips yet continue to use the radio. Pros: Detachable face, hooks up with steering wheel controls, can advance through songs while physically or Bluetooth connected to radio. Cons: The Mute feature on steering wheel console won't mute, it goes through the presets instead. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 love this radio! Written By ed, Bakersfield, ca on Saturday, April 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Every pioneer deck that I buy has always improved the sound quality of any system I have had and this one did not disappoint even with the factory speakers. The detachable face is the main reason I got this one. The app radio is a bit disappointing but I'm sure I'll never use it. To use that and the Pandora feature or app radio feature on this radio you have to have the special cable that connects your phone to a HDMI cable. I just use the Bluetooth to connect. Pros: Detachable face, sound quality, SD card reader and more things Cons: You need a special cable for most of its features. Was this review helpful?

Overall this is a great product very high quality great sound and this is by far the best website to purchase it from mainly because no one has it at a lower price.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 2005 Tundra Written By Adam, Bakersfield, CA on Friday, April 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome deck. I reviewed and auditioned over 10 units before pulling the trigger on the 8500. The Pioneer is packed full of features that other units make you pay more for. Once you factor in 8 band eq, hd radio, sd card+flash drive+i (anything) or android, dvd, 4v high volt output for amps, remote, blutooth and more, you will not find another deck at this price that compares. Period. Great sq. Connects seamlessly to my s4. Classy looks. I've owned over 20 decks and this one easily beats those costing 3 times as much. Getting used to the menus takes a day or 2, now it's like second nature. Installs easily with the great people at Crutchfield helping you if you get stumped. Pros: Standard options. Sat radio, back up camera, and adapter for video on i os or android are the only extras I can think of. Superb value! Cons: Menus will take a little bit to get used to. Acceptable because of all the options. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 !!! Great Receiver for the price & features !!! Written By LokiC, San Jose, CA on Friday, April 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this receiver for my 2009 camry. I am someone who wants my music to sound good, I can't settle for less in sound department. Well I started my search for a good receiver with good number of features, awesome sound, big diaplay & not too heavy on the pocket. I always liked crutchfield thus started to search for a receiver. Searching, my eyes went on this model by pioneer & I instantly liked it. This unit has everything you would need in today's world for music & video. I also compared it with many other receivers but at the end this unit stood apart with the features it provided. It has usb, sd card, i pod connectivity, aux , bluetooth, HD radio, iphone & android phone connectivity (with proprietary cable from pioneer, which are stupid costly compared to their real use),plays DVD etc too. The only gripe is it does not have navigation, but hey at this price point you would not get a navigation receiver anyways. Sound quality is very good, it changed the total sound stage in my car. It has many audio settings which you can adjust according to your preference. One of the cool thing which I liked is you can set the HPF for the front & rear speakers so that they dont play those low frequencies which are meant for a sub. Bluetooth works well & connects to my phone without any issues. Steering controls will work with an adapter which is on crutchfield Pros: + Cool looks + Very good sound quality + tones of features + good price point + Good extensibility + Detachable faceplate Cons: + This is not a con for the receiver, but for the dash kit that crutchfield suppplies with it for 2009 camry. The unit has a motorized faceplate it slides out. After fitting, there is not enough clearance between the top edge of the face plate & the top edge of the bezel which prevents the opening of the face plate. It hits the top edge of the bezel while it tries to open & does not open. Had to adjust it to fit to open somehow. Got metra kit 95-8218S online & solved all my clearance issues Was this review helpful?

For my Dodge Dakota this looks great and being able to answer my cell plus using backup visual wow you can't go wrong. Fantastico Pros: Use my Galaxy S4 through my Pioneer very valuable. Cons: Dakota owners your bezel has to be slightly shaved at the bottom and at the top so the screen can open freely. No problem easy to do Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Long time Pioneer lover Written By losinsanity, Tucson, AZ on Monday, March 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've never spent this kind of money on a head unit before and I don't regret doing it at all. The biggest influence of buying this one in particular is that it's face is detachable. I'm only home on the weekends so theft was a concern. I don't really care for the soft case though.Fortunately I have a hard case for my 7" Rand McNally GPS so, I just use that instead. The case is inexpensive and I highly recommend buying one if you take the face off a lot. A costly stereo is worthless if you drop the face on the concrete. I can't comment on the app functions to much cause I have a Windows phone. But, I do have an iPad 2 hooked up to the stereo. I have SXM radio so, Pandora is not something I use. The sound quality is amazing. My setup is the following. Stock tweeters 1 pair of Rockford Fosgate 6.5" for the for doors. 1 pair of Rockford Fosgate 6x9's for the back dash 2 Rockford Fosgate P2 12" subs 1 Rockford Fosgate Punch amp bridged to 500 watts. It sounds so clean and hits hard. The HPF is awesome. No bass comes through my mids and highs at all. Considering I have all the speakers (Mids) hooked up to the head unit, it sounds very clean and loud. The Mixxtrax function is pretty cool. Really trips people out when the hear it for the first time. The DVD quality is just alright and the volume is kind of weak. Gotta really turn it up to hear it. But, I dont plan on watching movies on it so no big deal. This unit is well worth the money and I highly recommend it. Pros: Sound quality, detachable face. Cons: DVD volume is weak.

Premier League club Crystal Palace have signed Reading defender Adrian Mariappa for an undisclosed fee.
Mariappa, who has not played for Reading in the Championship this season, has penned a three-year deal with Ian Holloway's side.
The Jamaica international, 26, did play in Reading's shock 6-0 loss to Peterborough United in the League Cup last week but was dropped for Saturday's visit to Yeovil Town.
And the centre-back, who made 29 Premier League appearances for Reading last term, has now joined Palace as they bid to retain their top-flight berth this season.
"I'm delighted to be joining Palace and playing in the Premier League again," Mariappa told Palace's official website. "It's something everyone dreams of doing.
"Playing there last season was a great challenge as it is the biggest league in the world and you're playing against the best players, so when this opportunity came to me I jumped at it.
"Selhurst Park is always a great place to play, the atmosphere has always been amazing and I've had some great games against this club.
"I want to prove I can play at this level and I'm sure that will be the same for everyone in the squad as we aim to stay in the Premier League."
Mariappa made his debut for Watford in May 2005 and went on to feature for them 247 times before joining Reading in July last year.

|The best for whole wheat sandwich bread (5/5)
|Jan 28, 2013
|Maria S
|I can't believe nobody has reviewed this yet. I love this pan so much I got a second one. This is the best bread pan I know of for baking a whole wheat sandwich bread that's got that familiar soft texture that those who are not used to artisan breads prefer. The bread is also a hit with kids for grilled cheese and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches because it's perfectly square. I've used it to bake rye bread and the rise was fantastic because of the narrow sides. The heaviest, densest breads rise very well in this pan, hence I suspect it would also be good for gluten-free breads though I've never experimented.

Earlier this week Tim and I decided to take a road trip to Oregon's state capital, Salem. Considering we have lived in Portland for nearly eight years, we figured it was about time to do some exploring in a city we usually zoom past on the highway. Salem isn't too far from Portland, maybe 40-50 miles. But, we took a more exciting route: backroads. Nice, quiet, scenic backroads. Sure the journey takes longer, but the views and adventure are worth the extra mileage.
We started by taking a peek at Willamette Falls in Oregon City. The falls are the second largest in the US, just behind the mighty Niagara Falls. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed and spent more time photographing an electric plant and ancient paper mill located in close proximity.
We continued on toward Salem with an atlas in hand to gently guide us along the backroads. We didn't have a set route, it was more of a "Hey, let's take Crooked Finger Road!" approach (that's a real road name, by the way).
We passed plenty of fruit orchards which increased my excitement for summertime fruit picking at local farms (cannot wait!!!).
We passed wide open spaces and greenhouses.
And then we finally made it into Salem, parked our car on a tree-lined street, and walked to the capitol building with homemade lunches and cameras in our backpacks. We settled on a bench underneath cherry blossom trees and soaked up some (rare) sunshine.
The capitol building was on our left and a canopy-covered sidewalk was on our right.
After lunch we ventured inside the capitol building. I didn't take any photos. I guess I'm not all that interested in government buildings!
When we went back outside we decided to wander around for a few hours until dinnertime. I had done some research online and located a vegan-friendly restaurant with an impressive menu. We were excited to try a new place. In the meantime we probably walked about 8 miles as we took in the sights.
Finally it was time for dinner! The place we chose is called Marco Polo Global Restaurant. We were two of the three diners there and it was incredibly quiet, but it was also very early for most people to be enjoying dinner. Our table was really big and the chairs were massive, but comfy nonetheless. We started with spring rolls:
Tim opted for General Tso's Tofu:
I opted for a pistachio-crusted veggie fillet drizzled with a raspberry glaze. It was delicious. I think the fillets may have been Gardein, but since I have never purchased or tried Gardein, I can't be certain.
We were both pretty satisfied with our meals, the service, and the cost (just under $30 for two people). They didn't have any vegan desserts, but our server brought each of us a little cookie in a ziplock bag simply labeled "Vegan Cookie". I think they were oatmeal with dried cranberries – not too bad!
And that was the final highlight of our road trip! Oh, except for the wild coyote we spotted on the drive home:
