Pioneer - 6.2" - Apple CarPlay™ - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash CD/DVD Receiver - Black

I was originally looking at an in dash navigation unit for my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, but decided to save a little money and try a unit with CarPlay where my phone GPS is displayed on the screen. Very happy with the decision. Install was a breeze. The only downside was with the dash kit I bought. The trim ring sticks out around the edges of the stereo a bit more than I'd like, but otherwise it's a good fit. I mounted the included microphone just behind the steering wheel on the dash. I used an aftermarket panel mount USB cable which I mounted in one of the blank switch plates down below the stereo. Very happy with the installation and the performance of this stereo. Handsfree works very well especially with Hey Siri. I can easily ask for directions or change playlists by voice command. Besides the built in HD radio I can also stream Sirius or Pandora through my phone. There are separate volume settings for navigation and CarPlay, so when listening to music at the same time as using the GPS the directions aren't overpowering.

I have had this stereo for about 3 weeks now. I am pretty handy with electronics and installations, however since Best Buy had free installation with the purchase, I opted to have them install it. Keep in mind, if you are replacing your existing radio you will need additional harnesses and other accessories to make sure it is connected properly. When I bought it, the sales person ordered up most of the additional harnesses. He did miss one important one which ended up costing an addition $70 at the time of installation. You have to have this If you want to use satellite radio. In addition to the satellite antenna adapter as an accessory harness, you will need to get the $70 satellite unit. So expect to spend about an additional $200 on harnesses and adapters. I have a 2013 Ram 2500 and it likes like it was factory installed. I am very happy with this unit and would highly recommend it to others.

After trying two JVC radios I went for this unit. I am very pleased with it. The settings are nice however I can't do an firmware update because the parking brake must be on and I didn't have BB hook that up because I need new parking break lines. I think it's silly to have it like that. I mean it's just firmware, not a video. The sound on this baby is all that I need and much better than the JVC I returned. The carplay is a great thing to have and I simply love it. Now for the bad The volume button will not turn up. I have to use the remote in order to do this. It will turn down but the up button doesn't respond on the head unit. It was like this day one but I had already dealt with returning two JVCs , Best Buy is over 20 miles from my home. So I've decided to just live with it this way. I am almost convinced that Best Buy sells seconds. Or defective radios that have been returned to the manufacturer. This is the 3rd radio in a row with problems but the trouble with this radio I can work around thanks to the remote. Bottom line I would recommend this radio but I suggest buying it somewhere else.

I really like this unit but it turns out that the one I purchased was defective. First, Pioneer doesn't actually read what you write when you send in a service request, they just assume they know what the problem is and then tell you to do something that is completely unrelated to your issue. When, for the third time they actually get a clue and read what the problem actually is, some slightly helpful information is given. When it's determined that their product is defective, the ONLY option is to send it back to Pioneer for repair. Even though the unit is only two weeks old, they DO NOT replace anything, they only repair and repairs take six weeks. That's right, you have to remove your stereo and wait 6 weeks for them to get around to fixing it. This is all after only owning it for only two weeks. Thankfully I got it at Best Buy and Best Buy seems to really want to support customers but SERIOUSLY consider other options if customer service is important to you. Sony looks good....

The Radio is a wonderful upgrade in a 2011 Toyota Corolla. I bought it as a gift for my daughter and installed it myself with cables and a trim kit also from Best Buy. It installs easy and looks great. Sound with the original speakers is SO much better through this radio. I've never liked Siri, but it works very well with CarPlay and its a huge help. I'm a Waze user and Waze sound will work through bluetooth, but I used Apple maps and Siri for the first time after install and it works very well. Lane advice from Apple maps is nice. HD Radio works great, Apple music apps work great. I used a blank switch insert in the dash to make a custom USB port for carplay and modified the existing Aux port to work too. Hands free phone works perfect. Siri will read/write texts which is a plus. It works well enough that I know my daughter's hands stay on the wheel. My daughter loves the radio. Says it makes it feel like a new car. The fun, and functionality, of this product exceeded my expectations!

I bought this during black friday and had free instillation (free installation just covers for the receiver) . Just so you know I had to buy 4 kits but I only bought 3 to make my steering wheel controls, and USB to work in my car. Plus the kit I had to buy for the receiver itself. I didn't buy the kit for the satellite radio. All 3 kits cost $50.They couldn't get the steering wheel kit to work so they had to hotwire the existing wires. Which was fine but it had to cost me $120 extra for all of the installation for the kits plus another $16 for adding something for the antenna to work... Keep that in mind when buying one of these receivers. Other then having to spend a little more when what I thought this receiver is amazing! Apple Car Play was the reason why I bought this unit plus it had some of the better ratings. I couldn't be happier! Pandora works amazing and the Maps app looks awesome on this 6 in screen. Its a must have if you wanna try a low entry lever in dash receiver.

Installed this as a second aftermarket head unit on an 04 Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab and ignited sparks with my ride all over again. After spending some money for a 200K required maintenance on this old boy, from all fluids, all the belts, water pump & a set of brand new tires, decided to go all out upgrading to a Pioneer AVH 1330NEX that’s Apple Car Play ready & it was all well worth every money spent. Along with a back up cam, also professionally installed by Best Buy and its about as close as you can get to the feel of driving a seemingly newer car without the monthly payments. Both Alpine 4 channel & sub Amps are still working great & this Pioneer 1330NEX made me realize what I was missing. The awesome display, functionality, Apple Car Play, which was worth the wait, bluetooth functions, HD Radio & a more intricate graphic equalizer upgraded my sound as well to better compliment & appreciate the audio package I had all along. 2 thumbs up & 5 stars!

I purchased this to replace the stock unit in my car. I wanted to have Bluetooth capability without spending a ton of money. I got that capability and a whole lot more. I didn’t want to replace the stock speakers just yet and after it was installed by the Geek Squad, I don’t think I’ll need to replace them until I blow them up. This unit really woke up my stereo system and I couldn’t be happier. It also comes with Apple CarPlay and because of that, I really don’t need to pair a Bluetooth device. You can make and receive calls, have your text messages read to you and can send a reply via voice dictation. Your music apps like Spotify and Pandora will work great through CarPlay. I’ve barely listened to radio broadcasts since since the install. You can also upload a picture or graphic to have a custom look on the touch screen. This is a great bang for your buck.
