Simply mount your smartphone¹ in the built-in cradle², then connect (either wirelessly or wired,) to the Pioneer Smart Sync app³ and enjoy a smarter connected driving experience.

¹Smartphone sold separately.
²Do not use the built-in cradle if your smartphone would cover, obscure or block indicators (lamps) relating to vehicle system status and operation, such as Passenger Air Bag, Air Bag Malfunction, Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Use an appropriate alternate mounting device to secure the smartphone in a location that does not block indicators, controls or vents, violate the law, or cause a hazard.
³The SPH-10BT is designed to be used only with the Pioneer Smart Sync app on a smartphone mounted securely, safely, and legally within your vehicle. Any other use of the smartphone while driving may be dangerous and violate the law.
Availability of non-Pioneer content and services, including apps and connectivity, may change without notice due to changes in operating systems, firmware or app versions; changes to, restrictions on or discontinuation of the service or service plans; non-Pioneer hardware changes; or other events.

Pioneer Smart Sync
Integrate Your Smartphone with Your Receiver. Pioneer Smart Sync is a highly evolved app available for both iOS and Android OS that utilizes the power of a connected smartphone to expand the features and user interface of compatible Pioneer in-dash receivers. With support for either a Bluetooth® or USB connection, the link between your smartphone and the in-dash receiver can be either wired or wireless.
Compatible Apps are Just a Tap Away
Say goodbye to complicated user interfaces. With your compatible apps just a tap away, your drive will be much smoother. In addition, Pioneer Smart Sync v4.3 enables you to keep up with your vehicle information including engine performance, live data, and more. Pioneer Smart Sync provides you with intuitive app-based features like:
- Alexa Built-in
- Maps
- Voice Messaging
- Music
- Monitor Vehicle Performance*
* Optional OBD-II device required.
Take full advantage of Pioneer Smart Sync version 4.3 by updating your in-dash receiver with the latest firmware (required).

Back-Up Sensors
Get obstacle detection on your smartphone display when used in conjunction with the ND-PS1 Rear Parking Sensors (sold separately, requires professional installation) and the Pioneer Smart Sync App.
Hands-Free Calling and Audio Streaming
Stay safe and obey local hands-free laws with built-in Bluetooth (HFP). Easily pair a Bluetooth enabled phone to the SPH-10BT without having to go through complicated settings. When a registered Bluetooth device is in proximity to the receiver, the auto connection function automatically pairs the two units.
From hands-free calling, wireless audio streaming (A2DP) with artist, album, and song search*, simple pairing, and control audio (AVRCP profile), Bluetooth® wireless technology has made life in the vehicle much more convenient.
The SPH-10BT with Bluetooth also includes superior call quality reception using Wideband Speech Handsfree Profile 1.6. Wideband Speech nearly doubles the bandwidth of frequencies of a normal Bluetooth call (when compared to calls without Wideband Speech)**.
Other features include the ability to browse music libraries on smartphones wirelessly.
*Search functions vary by phone.
**Call quality depends on wireless provider’s support of HFP 1.6.

Smartphone Control
Access music on your smartphone directly from the Pioneer receiver. Search for Artist, Albums and Songs using Pioneer's intuitive interface. With Pioneer receivers you can also access and control select music and radio apps on your smartphone.
Android Music Support
Users of devices running Android OS version 4.0 or later can connect to the SPH-10BT and listen to music stored on the device without the need for an app. The process is made possible using Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), which allows the receiver to recognize the Android smartphone as a music storage device. Operate basic functions like FF, REW, Play, Pause, Random Play, and Repeat and view Metadata information such as track, artist, and album name.
USB Direct Control for iPhone
Pioneer's SPH-10BT is ready to roll with direct connectivity to your iPhone** for music and video via USB. Song, artist, time and album information are beautifully displayed on the 6.2" touchscreen. The system's wired USB connection provides direct digital signal transfer from the device for clean, clear sound while providing 1.5 amp of current to keep your iPod/iPhone charged.
** Requires iPhone 5 or newer. Compatibility with unit and operations may vary depending on iOS version.

FLAC Codec Support
FLAC compatible Pioneer Car Stereo Receivers upgrade in-car audio with amazing sound reproduction. FLAC (Free Losssless Audio Codec) files are 50-50% smaller than WAV files, yet retain the integrity of the original sound sources. FLAC playback is possible at up to 44.1khz sampling frequency and 16-bit bitrate for files stored on a USB thumb drive.
