Awesome head unit
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Had it installed for two months so far and I couldn’t be happier with it. Functions perfectly. Im still using the stock speakers in my WRX, but this head unit completely changed the sound of them. Everything sounds so much better just with the controls this unit provides. Saw a lot of people saying you can’t see the screen in sunlight, and it is harder to see in direct sunlight, but that happens with any large glass display. Even in the sun I can still see what I need to see on it, it just isn’t as bright (because it’s fighting the sun). I’d recommend this to anyone. The customization is great, and the DVD player is a nice touch.

Freakin' Awesome!
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Access to Spotify alone makes this purchase worth it. It's as much fun as getting a TV for the first time. I can choose what bands want to listed to -- things I'd never hear on terrestrial radio like: Dispatch, Lucky Boys Confusion, The Czars, Australian Country Music Artists, almost anything you can imagine! The user interface can be tricky though. You cannot easily input a new GPS destination EVEN WHEN STOPPED because the car is worried you're driving. I usually have to pull the jack out or speak loudly towards the microphone --several times in a row-- to get voice activation to work. Still, this is so much more enjoyable than my factory head unit. I can't wait to take even a grocery store trip so I can listen to Spotify.

Looks just as good as it functions.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Just installed today. So far all is well. Looks great, all functions work properly including Android Auto with my Pixel 5. Installed 2011 Silverado LTZ with Crux interface, all factory functions retained. Did have some trouble with fitment with all the adapters needed. But all in all I'm happy. With the current vehicle market this is just what I needed to bring my truck to 2022 status, minus the rust of course.

sound upgrade for 2004 Toyota 4 runner
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.this review is for the pioneer stereo (head unit) wiring harness and frame. The pioneer avh 5050 nex is a quality product. The sound is crisp ( but not noticeably better than my stock radio) my OEM radio CD changer broke, and I didn't have BT which was the nudge I needed to upgrade. The pioneer 5050 has android auto which in effect gives me a outstanding voice control google NAV and GPS, and access to the google suite. BB handle the free install and the unit fits and looks great. Switching between sources is quick and seamless, just about all functions can be controlled from the screen. I also own a 2012 lexus with NAV and in all honesty the pioneer voice controls work better. The entire upgrade cost about $750.00, IMO well worth the cost.

Great Unit for the money
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.I bought this unit and had it installed by Best Buy in early November of 2021. Almost three months later and I have to say that it was money well spent. The touch screen is very responsive and the Android auto/apple carplay works like a charm. As soon as I plug my Android into my car's USB port, it automatically switches to the Android auto on the unit. The microphone that comes with it is a neat feature as well, although I find that it's not always that good at registering what I'm trying to say. I noticed that the volume settings are pretty customizable, as you can customize things like the bass. I also like how you can customize the background and background color of the unit, as well as the color of the buttons on the unit. There's actually a color slider that allows you to choose which specific color you want the buttons to be if you don't like any of the preset colors. In terms of cons, I recently encountered a bug where the Android auto wouldn't show up on the unit when I plugged in my phone, as the unit would just show a dark screen. I would shut off my car's engine and turn it back on and the android auto still wouldn't show up, as all I would see is the same dark screen. This only happened once though so far, and I've been able to use Android auto since then without that bug happening again, almost as if the issue somehow fixed itself. Hopefully, that was just a one time thing. The only other con I could think of is the fact that there's no volume knob, as the volume buttons are a little small. It would be a bigger issue for me if I didn't have the steering wheel controls hooked up to the unit. This was my first Pioneer but I'm very impressed with the system and the brand overall. I see why Pioneers are so commonly used in my area, and would 10/10 recommend this particular head unit.

Overall Awesome Head Unit For The Price
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I installed this in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited to replace the factory radio. I also installed the iDatalink Maestro module to retain all of the factory original features and was required in order to control front to rear fade as I kept the factory Infinity amplifier. The Maestro also gives me an engine gauge screen on the new Pioneer, tire pressure, door status, battery voltage, and engine error code display/reset via the ODB connector. I also replaced all of the factory speakers. JBL Harman components in the front, JBL coaxials in sound bar, and a Pioneer low profile sub in the rear. Finally I also installed a backup camera which is displayed on the Pioneer screen. So far I love the Pioneer head unit. Amazing sound quality, great features. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Android Auto is really cool. Allows me to run Waze navigation and other apps like Pandora when my phone is plugged into the Pioneer USB port. My only complaints, thus the 4 stars: (1) Wish there were two USB ports, keep switching between USB thumb drive loaded with music files and my phone for navigation. (2) Control buttons on left side are rather small. Overall a great radio and great price! Was $450 but got it on sale for $299. TIP: The Metra dash install/trim kit I used has very soft/cheap plastic, cracks easily. I've read that Scosche makes a better quality one and will pursue that brand for future installs.

Apply CarPlay & USB Connection Not working
||Posted .I bought this item on 9/16/2020, I was able to get it installed 2 weeks after 9/16. I waited 2 weeks for a harness and interface to fit a 2012 Malibu. Literally a week after installation, CarPlay quit working. I got a message and took a picture of it. I called Bestbuy, and unfortunately I don’t have their extended warranty, so they didn’t help me. I called Pioneer Electronics and that was a total disaster. They have no idea what this product even existed and I thought that was strange. I am dealing with it now, and for those that do not care about Apple CarPlay or the USB connection, take your shot but you’ll probably have a better experience with this product than I did. But, if I can go back, I would have got a different brand. Pioneer electronics are not very helpful.

Q: QuestionIs this for wireless carplay so i don't have to plug anything into radio or car?
Asked by tito12.
- A:Answer This will do wireless Bluetooth with your phone & phone music, so you can use it wirelessly with the Bluetooth feature. It will also do Spotify & Pandora. However if you want to use the actual “CarPlay” feature, you have to plug your phone up with your phone cord to the USB connection that comes with the stereo. Then you can use more features such as GPS navigation, messaging, audiobooks, etc. as well as phone, & music. It will play the radio, cd/dvd’s regardless if you have your phone connected. However, you can only watch the DVD if your parking break is on because you can’t watch dvd’s from the front while driving by law. If you want the DVD to play in the back you have to pay for additional monitors for it to play to the back.
