Just a quick question before i pick one of these up from someone..does it have time correction?..not too sure what pioneer calls this feature..also if any of u guys own or have owned one how is it? i can get one for pretty cheap but i was also looking at the alpine units..worth it to save a bit for the alpines or is this a good deck? thanks guys

 

I have had one for 2 years now in my Durango. Great unit. No time correction. I just picked up the AVHP7600DVD for my new ride. I would pick a Pioneer in dash screen over a Alpine any day. But that is just me.

 

i have had pioneer avh6400, avh6500 and avh6600. i also had the Blau tv deck. Now i have the alpine D300 and it KILLS all of those by a mile

pioneer has no time correction. alpine has it.

 

iv got a alpine 9815 right now and love it but was looking for an in dash screen unit..would the avh6500 be comparible as far as sq and features to the 9815? or should i just stick with the alpine?

 

I have not used the Pioneer much, but a friend has it and it has broke two times and it's less than a year old =/

He might have just got a lemon, but FYI it was the exact same thing that broke both times, maybe it wasn't fixed properly or whatever, I'm not sure.

I doubt it would be up to the Alpines in the SQ because of time correction but aside from that it's probably very similar.

 

The Pioneer 7500DVD I had was an excellent unit and personally I felt the audio section was much better than the Alpine 9835 I had before it.

The 6500 has a different DAC's and I have not auditioned it. No problems with the 7500 though audibly or mechanically.
Time alignment and Auto EQ worked quite well with only some minor tweaking needed to make it perfect.

 

does the 6500 have the auto eq?

 

No.
