The Pioneer DEH-P9800BT is a high-end in dash cd reciever unit; which was first announced at the 2009 CES event in Las Vegas. The P9800BT is part of Pioneer's latest CD reciever lineup which also includes the Pioneer DEH-P6100BT, Pioneer DEH-P7000BT, and the Pioneer DEH-P7100BT. The P9800BT includes CD, Satellite radio and HD radio support as well as content playback from a USB media device via one of the dual USB ports. The most unique feature of the 9800BT however is the unique customization support of the LCD screen; users can download software via the Pioneer website which will allow them to create custom screens and colors for their display and then transfer the files via a CD-R/W or USB device. The P9800BT is also fully equipped with Supertuner IIID advanced digital and analog processing technology combined with a built-in MOSFET 50 W x 4 amplifier to ensure high quality sound output without any distortion or background noise. The full-color OEL LCD display screen can handle complete 3D characters on screen and allows a long list of character scrolling in a wide range of flourescent colors; the device can also safely display entire lists of song track information. Bluetooth receiver technology is built right into the unit; so users may use a hands free phone system directly through the device without purchasing any separate adapters or add-ons. An Apple iPod can also be plugged directly into the USB port with full compatibility; meaning users will never run out of new music on the road again. The Pioneer DEH-P9800BT has a suggested retail price of $550 and will be released sometime in Spring, 2009.
