I purchased this to replace the factory nav unit in my 2011 Toyota 4Runner in order to bring it into this decade. Pros: -wireless CarPlay works great, sounds great, looks great -used maestro to integrate factory backup camera and telemetry from the car. Works great, even shows tire pressure and temp in individual tires and which door is open which is something the Toyota doesn’t have a way to display stock in this year model. Maestro also integrates the factory amp and sub in this truck. Cons: -no multi-touch gestures…can’t expand maps by pinching or spreading fingers -occasional random reboots, this has improved with a firmware update I performed, but it still happens but infrequently. - 3 antennnas: AM/FM/HD, WiFi AP, & GPS. The Best Buy installer buried the WiFi & GPS antennas in my dash and it was causing navigation issues. I think it uses both the phone and headunit gps. I returned to Bestbuy and the problem was resolved with they moved the GPS antenna to the dash. -In non CarPlay mode, the headunit is underwhelming, the touch screen isn’t as accurate or sensitive ans the HD radio function is only available here. -Maybe there is a setting to control this but if I’m listening to HD radio and a phone is paired via CarPlay, if you open any app that has AV capabilities on the phone (Instagram, FB, etc) , the headunit automatically changes the input away from radio to the phone. -Aside from a firmware upgrade, I’ve never gotten the Pioneer CarAVAssit app to work properly to customize wallpaper etc, it’s not straightforward or intuitive. -gauges from maestro integration don’t look that great. Summary: it lacks a level of polish I would expect for a unit in this price range. I don’t regret the purchase, it solved my issue of modernizing my paid for truck and staving off my urge to purchase. If I could stay in CarPlay mode is where this unit shines (I’ve never tried android auto and can’t speak to that.) if I could access all functions from within CarPlay (Including HD radio and car/engine telemetry) and thereby stay in the CarPlay full time, I’d be way happier.

I bought this through Best Buy but I ended up returning it after 30 days and bought a Kenwood 10.1”(DMX1037S) HD floating display. It has nice features like hotspot connectivity and Alexa, which my Kenwood does not,but the only problem is that I had it connected to my iPhone hotspot but I would always have to reconnect every time I restarted the car because it would lose hotspot connection.I like that the fact that the screen didn’t have a lot of buttons and didn’t take up too much space so you could have a 9 inch screen that was actually roughly around 9 inches (my Kenwood has a few buttons and a knob, so it’s much larger than 10.1”), so it doesn’t take up too much space in the place where you put it. The OS on the Kenwood is much more reliable and fluid than the Pioneer, that’s why I suggest they improve the software with firmware updates, which I think will come along but I didn’t wanna wait for them. I also like the fact that Pioneer offers this model in a 9 inch and 10 inch version, Kenwood only offers this model so far in 10.1 inch.

Awesome radio installed on my 2021 kia sedona van. Stock backup camera looks awesome thru the big screen, sounds great everything works great except FM radio reception is next to nothing compared to stock, my kenwood, and jvc stereos i had in here. Sirius and wireless Android auto work great though.i also added the maestro rr2 for vehicle info etc

Its a wonderful looking screen. Carplay features are helpful, but the unit can be a bit laggy. Sometimes when playing a song it will cut in and out. This has a lot of potential, but as of now its a bit buggy. Thinking about returning it for another unit, but the other units im interested in have larger screens than this one.

Upgraded stereo on’01 Dodge Dakota adding a backup camera to the truck as well. Wireless Apple Play works quick and flawless. The sound is amazing, exactly what you’d expect from Pioneer. Really bring a modern touch to an old truck. Love it!
