Pioneer - 7" - Android Auto/Apple CarPlay™ - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash CD/DVD Receiver - Black

This stereo is great. Carplay is awesome. You can make calls and texts (through Siri) right on the display. When a call or text comes in you can see who it is or what it says right on screen. Especially love the maps on screen. It's like having a built in GPS now. Bluetooth is good on this unit too. Connects instantly every time you start vehicle. You can only manage phone calls and music through bluetooth though. I had Best Buy install this along with 4 new JBL speakers and they did a phenomenal job. Looks like it came this way from the factory. Best Buy also put the USB input where the "cigarette lighter" used to be and it looks like factory did it too. Don't have to worry about a "dangling" USB cord or it hidden in the glove box or something. Now I have a USB port built into the dash next to my stereo to plug in my phone. Definitely recommend having Best Buy install for you. I saw on here people complaining of the "glare" on the screen. I saw that at first too but this stereo has a "screen tilt" feature that tilts the screen slightly up to eliminate the glare. There are about 5 different degrees of tilt so everyone should be able to eliminate the glare on the screen. I only needed to tilt 1 degree and glare is gone. Once you set the tilt to your liking it will automatically go back to that setting every time you start your vehicle so you don't have to worry about it anymore.

I bought this for my adult daughter's early 2000's car, with back up camera (ND-BC8) and I purchased geek squad installation for both, even though I am proficient at installing radios. This is an excellent unit that actually works better than what was equipped in the new car I purchased in 2017. She uses it with apple car play primarily and the connection to Google/Apple/Pandora. etc. for which it works perfectly and sounds great (big improvement over stock radio). The radio does in fact have HD Radio built in, and reception quality is excellent. SURI makes use of phone, etc. effortless... so one can answer/make a calls / texts without being distracted hands free by voice. You have access to maps etc. through apple car play as well so it gives you a built in GPS system to guide you with clear audio. Geek squad installation was excellent, and this car had a few challenges that made me happy to get it. I got the warranty, so installation is nice since they will take it out and put it back if you have any problems. I researched radios a long time before purchasing and waited for this specific model for about 6mo since it has HD radio, does NOT have a removable face (like AVH-4201NEX), supports both apple and android, and a long list of other features.

I purchased this product for my 2008 Chevy Impala. Best Buys team professionally installed it in less than one hour. The 50x4 watts of power makes me look foward to listening to my car tunes every day & even on factory speakers. With Apple/ Android Auto Play & voice commands, I can listen to music, get directions, make & receive phone calls without ever taking my eyes off the road. The bluetooth comes in handy for listening to all my preset playlists & phone contacts.. Plus if you have kids the DVD player will come in handy for playing DVD movies. With a simple interface (sold separately) you will not lose the factory installed ability to ffw song selection, turn volume up-down & select which source you want to play from "All" from the Steering Wheel. It also has the capability for front & back cameras ( cameras sold separately) This is hands down the "BEST" after market car stereo Ive ever purchased.. You will not be disappointed

A great radio for 399. Bought mines June 15th and it had a production date of 5/18. Used the free install option with geek squad. I priced matched everything I wanted to use with the install in my 17 Ram 1500. I wanted to retain all factory options so i had the Maestro RR unit installed with the attatchments for media usb, xm, factory antenna and steering wheel controls. I now am able to see what door I have open, tire pressure, gauges and even battery/engine codes right from the radio. Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. Make sure you are using an actual Apple cable. Being able to ask Siri to turn my home thermostat on right from my radio is pretty cool. Awesome sound and eq adjustments available. I went and hooked up a backup and front camera, yes it has two AV inputs for this. Can’t comment on longevity but for now everything works great.

I have been seeing much talk about Apple Car Play in newer vehicles. I have a 2009 Ford Ranger... She is like brand new to me as I baby her and she only has 52,000 miles. I had replaced all my door and rear speakers with Pioneer and then added a subwoofer. My old Pioneer Head Unit has been well used. Nonetheless this new head unit with Car Play is just amazing. It is so nice to be able to use my phone in such a way that I don't have to ever look at my phone or take my eyes off the road. The display is really nice. I also have SiriusXM so having those extra features is nice as well. One thing I will warn about this radio did require me to make some modification to install it. It's not what I would call plug and play, so if you aren't good at this type installation, you probably should have it installed professionally. Buy this head unit, you will like it as much as I do.

This model, AVH-2330 NEX has HD radio, unlike the AVH-2300 NEX, and is compatible with  iPhones as well as Android phones, unlike the AVH-1330 NEX. It has a slightly larger screen than the 1330 and the controls are at the bottom versus on the side. The screen folds down with the push of a button to access the CD/DVD player, and can be tilted up or down for a better view, depending where it is installed in the dash. It will also accommodate two cameras. Although more expensive, I upgraded to this radio from the 1330 for the larger screen. I am very pleased with it so far. I would highly recommend Geek Squad Auto Tech install, which was free with purchase, because it is done professionally with a lifetime warranty on the installation. Beware though, as the parts for the installation were around $200, with labor free.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas - primarily for her to use with Waze. The Apple Car Play Integration is very good, but Android Auto seems to have more functionality. The biggest frustration was the wait for the install, but on the upside the installers were very good and helpful. My wife loves the screen size and the customization options. I also bought the Sirius XM tuner to add on and had all factory steering wheel controls retained and the factory backup camera integrated. The other add on was I had the Aux input jack swapped out for an Aux/USB input jack that makes the Apple Car Play/Androis Auto connections much easier right on the dash. One important note, since the wait was about three weeks for the install, I got a list from the Beat Buy team member of all installations cables, etc that were needed and bought them from Amazon and saved about half the cost!!

Bought this as a gift for my sister. Had the Best Buy in Columbia install it and they did the bare minimum. They didn’t leave the manual that came with the product. Also didn’t make it obvious where the USB ran from the back of the head unit. My sister had to look for it. I had to direct my sister to the Pioneer website to download a PDF of the manual. She hasn’t had it installed for maybe a month now and is already having issues with it. It’s hit or miss with the Bluetooth and the CarPlay. I can’t tell you much about the unit because I haven’t even touched it yet. I almost wish I would have sprung for a different unit, but this is what I get for trying to save paying for the install that was complimentary with the unit. The installer tried to have me pay for the install because he wouldn’t take the effort to look up the order number that was all over the packaging for the install parts. I had to look up the order number myself for him.
