Pioneer SPHC19BT Quick Hands-On | Digit.in

Pioneer launched the SPH-C19BT car audiohead unit in India yesterday. Along with it, the Japanese entertainment products company showcased its Smart Sync mobile app. In the launch and product demonstration, Pioneer showed that the head unit and the Smart Sync app go hand in hand. What’s special about the SPH-C19BT head unit is that it’s aimed at the masses despite being a progressive, smartphone-dependent model. Pioneer announced during the launch that the SPH-C19BT would go on sale for Rs 7,150. For a live demonstration, I was shown to a Suzuki Swift with a SPH-C19BT head unit installed on the dashboard. According to Pioneer, the SPH-C19BT will sit comfortably inside all single DIN slots. After spending a few minutes using the head unit in conjunction with a smartphone running Smart Sync, I noticed that voice recognition was not exactly spot on. Saying, ‘Navigate to Connaught Place’ opened up the Google Maps app but failed to start navigation. This, in my opinion, is only promoting distracted driving, not curbing it. I would’ve preferred Google Assistant integration here but I imagine it would have made the system more complex (read more costly).
