Are you going to buy a car head unit that is compatible to iPhone? Obviously, I can assume that it is from Pioneer. If not, I may suggest you to think and take an overview on this beautiful model. The advanced technology of Pioneer has made it more handy and contemporary especially for the new generation of 3GS technology.
The flexibility of Pioneer DEH-6300UB
This particular 6300UB is an audio receiver of ultimate flexibility. Variety of external sources you can connect with it to enjoy your musical entertainment. This single-DIN receiver can play AM/FM radio, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3/WMA/WAV, but it has associated with the most wanted USB port at the front panel where you can push your iPod and iPhone and retrieve music files from them. The Pandora Music service, which is the most on-demand application, is available in it. Enjoy music with your iPhone and iPod. Remember, the Pandora Service is only available currently in US.
However, requirements to enjoy the full functionality of Pandora Music Application are as follows:
- iPhones compatibility: Apple iPhone (1st Generation), iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and the iPod 4 with the version of firmware 3.0 or later.
- Download latest version of Pandora or update your existing version through Apple iTune App Store for ‘Pandora’.
- You need a Pandora account at first either a free account or a paid account. I suggest you to create a free account; it is enough for your requirement.
- Go to http://www.pandora.com/register (for US citizens only) to create the account as instructed there.
- Your data plan should be under unlimited use to control your cost. Additional charges will be applied for AT&T to access the Pandora service through AT&T 3G or EDGE network.
- Buy the optional Pioneer CD-iU50 cable to connect your iPhone or iPod. It is required to connect your iPod with your receiver to select Pioneer stereos with USB control. Remember, this cable will support ypu audio playback but does not transfer video files.
Always check your Pandora service accessibility in your area as per latest compatibility issues with the firmware versions of Pandora application for iPhones, before buying the unit.
