Product Manuals

Q: Are your able to install it? Because I really want to buy this but I am terrify to go somewhere and they mess up the installation

A: Let them install it. Their work is guaranteed for the life of your ownership of the vehicle. It won't get messed up. They are trained to do simple radio installs. If you mess up the install, nothing will be covered in the event something goes wrong.

Q: Even tho this don’t come with a Built in navigation . So can I still use my maps on apple car play for like a gps?

A: Yes, Apple Car Play works will with my iPhone and I am able to use my map for navigation. No need for navigation

Q: Does this unit have a navigation system?

A: No, it does not. It has a option for a Nav system. Or with apple play you can use Apple maps. Android ,I believe waze works. Waze is my preference. But Apple and Google are not the best of friends.

Q: Will this fit a 2015 Jeep Renegade and is it compatible with the steering wheel controls?

A: Best way to make sure is to talk to the geek squad. They can look it up in the system and let you know. It is a double din and I had to get a separate harness for the steering wheel controls. All of which they looked up based on my year make and model. 2007 GMC Sierra. I had a double din factory stereo in the truck to begin with. So just a harness and new face plate and it works and looks fantastic. The back up camera image is fantastic as well.

Q: Can I still make phone calls using Android Auto with this unit and does it come with Speaker Phone options?

A: Yes and yes. Working great in my mustang and recognizes my phone and my wife's. Separately, of course.

Q: Can i watch a dvd while driving down the road

A: it is ill leagal to watch a movie in the front.. if best buy installs it for you they have to by law install it to the e break. but if you can do it your self buy a bpass off amazon. then you can. but its technically ill leagel to do so

Q: I saw some comments about propriety camera...does this mean you can't install a better camera or does it mean you are stuck with the camera that comes with it

A: You can install a different camera. If will run 2 cameras total. 1 dash and 1 rear.

Q: Is it detachable?

A: NO

Great price, decent features, okay backup camera
I've been eyeing this radio since 2016 but I couldn't justify the msrp of 700-800 dollars. I waited and notice BB had it for 499 with no rebate. I prefer no rebates most other authorized places give you a 150 mail in visa card rebate but I didn't want to wait so this was perfect. Ordered it and it arrived in 3 business days with free shipping. The avh 4201 and the 4200 are the same but the 4201 gives you a backup camera. I ordered the other parts I needed off of Am@zon (metra dash kit, pac harness, loom for the camera wires, antenna adapter, dual usb extension cables, micro by pass), came out to about 65 for the extra parts for my 05 chevy colorado. After dry fitting and soldering all the wires, everything worked out nicely. The hardest part was running the backup camera wires under the truck bed and into the cabin. Dvd player works fine along with bluetooth connectivity, sd card reader, android auto on usb 2, phone calls. Sound was improved compared to stock. I installed a component Infinity 6 1/2 in the front and 6 1/2 coaxial in the rear along with my dual low profile mtx 8" in a seal box under the rear seats powered by a 300 watt RF dual channel amp. I can hear different musical instruments in songs now. Features of the radio are solid. Able to stream Amazon music, spotify, pandora, iheart radio through bluetooth or through android auto. I did notice sound clarity and db levels are noticably clearer and stronger through android auto than compared to straight bluetooth. Able to have two custom EQ's or 4 presets from Pioneer. I like how they have 13 band EQ to fine tune sound output depending on what type of music you play. Max SD card is 32gb but unlimited for usb expansion. Read my 8 gb sd with no problem. Android auto works flawlessly with my note 5. Both USB has an output charge of 1.6amps. One issue I have is the proprietary backup camera. But the backup camera wire is very long 10 meters so I had to tuck the rest behind the dash. The wire is comes in two pieces. Make sure you leave the connection point of the camera to the harness near the back of the car so you can access it if you need to replace or service the camera. The camera was small enough that I was able to mount it above my license plate and under the tail gate. Very stealth amd hidden. I was able to find my reverse trigger source under the truck (light green wire) and it was next to a rubber grommet under the drivers seat hooked that up to the purple/white reverse, power (red) to the wire harness, and ground (black) to the frame. I wired it as Pioneer recommends so you are able to toggle the reverse camera anytime the stereo is on and while in reverse. I plan on getting a second camera for the front in the near feature (another brand). The other issue with the camera is that day time visibility is fine but night time clarity is horrible. Very grainy regardless of street light conditions. It reminds me of my dads over the air Goldstar color crt tv back in 80's. I consider it free so eh DGAF. For the price of 499 +tax it is a bargain. Screen is responsive, android auto works fine, bluetooth is decent but this unit has expandability options for rear entertainment, GPS, satellite radio, 6 channel rca output, and an included remote. I'm glad I bought it. It also came with the latest 1.06 firmware out of the box so I know bestbuy is getting newer units straight from Pioneer. I have installed previous stereos in the past so install for me was easy, I would say 2 out 10 for difficulty but I have a back ground in welding/engineering. Definitely read the manual and look at youtube videos if you are wanting to install this by yourself or if this is your first install. Look up Five Star Install, they have great tutorials for this specific model and how to properly wire a backup camera. Tools I used include wire strippers, phillips #2 screw driver, tie straps, razor to trim the metra bezel, soldering iron, heat shrink, 18 gauge wire for reverse trigger, wire cutters, 12v multi-meter.

Almost Couldnt Be Happier! :)
Picked this up for my wife’s 2006 RX 400h and she is extremely happy with it. It connects to either of our phones via bluetooth as soon as we enter the vehicle and has the ability to handle the all of the main phone functions within the unit. The thing that kept this at 4 vs 5 stars is that the phone apple car and android auto has to be done via usb cord connection. Other than that, setup was a breeze (self installed) especially with the idata link ability (sold separately) and the sirius XM antenna (also sold separately). This unit doesnt have nav like the more expensive versions but that isnt an issue at all since the usb connect allows for maps, google maps & waze functionality out the box. Its also a lot cheaper this way with the most up to the minute drive time info. Just sayin’ ;) Finally, I must talk about the dual zone controls and the hdmi hookups. This is a godsend since I have a lil one that loves his movies. With this unit he can watch his movie in the back with the headrest unit and i can still listen to my stuff. I just needed a long enough hdmi cable and it all connected seamlessly. Hope this helps.

Great radio update for older truck
I love the updated technology & the ability to use Bluetooth with my iPhone while we’re traveling. The display is great & user friendly. The installation by the Geek Squad was excellent & quick in our 2001 Ford F550 Everything we expected. Looking forward to learning how to navigate & be able to listen to music on my iPhone & iPod.
