Picked up this pioneer car stereo today and I could write a book about how much I love the way it works with my droid... the bluetooth paired up easily once I got the hang of the controls... and it has awesome range... I had the phone a good 20 feet away from the car while still listening to music (really cool for garage parties)... comes with it's own, wired, remote mic, which I mounted to the visor, and has built in voice dialing after sync with the contact list..... tried all my different media... pandora, cube player, droid live, video and telephone and it all worked great.
Front mount USB input is handy too... maybe for driving with the family in the car.. I can mount the sd card and listen to my music files and when the phone rings it pauses the music and I can answer the call privately on the headset... it also charges the phone no matter what the state of the reciever... on - off - tuner - whatever
Tonight I was running it with the usb cord attached for charging but running the audio thru bluetooth... I could search contacts and place calls with the stereo remote control... end the call... go back to music... search folders on the sdcard and just play that folder... random order, shuffle, and repeat that folder... put the remote down and hit carhome on the touchscreen and navigate... didn't realize the music comes back on when the navigation has nothin to say and then breaks for directions...
I'm sure I haven't figured it all out yet but I'm really impressed with what I had goin on for a few hours tonight....
Found this unit at wal-mart as a clearance item (last years model I think) regular price $262 marked down to $165... best thing I've bought since I got the droid for christmas...
