For father’s day, I got my dad a new car stereo, Pioneer DEH-3750MP! I got the Cd-MP3 version ’cause I know he has a lot of old cassettes and cds that he would like to be preserved to MP3 format.
I wanted to get my dad the flip face type but somebody advised me against it. My friend had a flip face car stereo but it got worn out and it wouldn’t flip gracefully now. So I settled with the slot-in type.
Here are the features:
- CD-R/RW playback
- MP3 playback with ID3 Tag
- WMA (Windows Mediaâ„¢ Audio) playback with WMA Tag
- WAV file playback
- BMX (Bitmetric Equalizer)
- EEQ
- 5-mode preset equalizer
- 1-mode custom preset equalizer
- 3-band parametric equalizer
- 3-mode selectable loudness
- Selectable FIE (Front Image Enhancer)
- RCA preout: rear
- Supertuner® IIID
So far I am very impressed with the quality of this car stereo.
In terms of the face plate, when I apply pressure on the left side it causes it to pop out. This is the detachable face plate “feature” but they didn’t secure it enough. However, if you use it carefully it handles quite well.
In terms of sound, I am overwhelmed by the capacity of the output. Now I have to change my dad’s car speakers as well just to be able to cope up with the sound quality. It can output a great deal of bass that I’m thinking of either getting amps and subs for my dad or a new set of speakers that can handle the amount of bass this stereo can produce.
Anyway, the price of this car stereo is quite reasonable with the vast features it can offer.

cool-looking stereo. i hooked up an mp3 player to mine so i don’t have to keep burning mp3s onto CDRWs.
thanks ej!
actually i used to have an mp3 player hooked up to the old stereo as well. but i didn’t want wires just lying on the side waiting for my mp3.
my officemate had this stereo connection for his ipod that sometimes clogged the handbrake area.
another officemate bought the wireless ipod stereo connection but was constantly irritated with the interference from radio waves.
so i decided to just get this slot-in type.
but i do miss just transferring mp3s to the player. now i have around 10 cds in the car. oh well… hehehe!
i used a cellphone holder and a much shorter wire to eliminate the clutter problem. posted a photo of the setup on my site.
Hi fritz, I would also like to buy similar system for my new car. I would like to know how much you paid for the same.. thanks -dorje
hi dorje!
i got it for Php 6,700 at Banawe. You could ask them and most of them will sell it at 7,500 going down to 5,800. I got mine Php 6,700 with the official warranty card. Without the warranty card you could get it at 5,800.
hope that helps. good luck! it really is worth it.
hi fritz. is it ipod ready or not?
thanks and nice HU
Hi mate, unfortunately I sold this Pioneer unit to a friend over a year already. I wasn’t able to test it with an iPod.
