I already had kicker speakers installed in my Toyota Corolla. Andrew installed this radio today and I thought I would have a lot of highs and would need a amp to get some bass. Boy was I wrong! This radio sounds amazing. I like my music loud and I honestly don’t think I need a amp. Still getting use to the controls. I really don’t care for the microphone. You have to yell at it but I really don’t care about that to much about that after I heard my radio. Display is pretty basic. Nothing too fancy. I like the apple car play. Plugged my phone in and BOOM it was there. I wish you could hear my car! Those kicker speakers sound Amazing compared to the stock radio. The installation was quick and looks great. You really can’t tell I have a aftermarket radio in the dash. This radio even hooked up to my factory back up camera and the steering wheel controls still work great. Very happy with my purchase and the customer service I received at Bismarck Best Buy. Thank you Andrew!

This fit perfectly in my 2000 4Runner and works great! I love all the options and the sound is incredible. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a reasonable Apple Car Play stereo! Don’t forget to buy the mounting bracket and plug adapter!

This Pioneer consistently amazes me. It is so feature packed, that it took me a while to learn all it can do. This is not to say that it's hard to learn, just that I usually do not lean a feature, until I need to use it. The Apple Car Play, Rear Backup Camera, DVD/CD, Reception, and Sound is phenomenal. The interface with my steering wheel controls works seamlessly, and the SirrusXM had fantastic reception. With everything this unit offers, it is one of the best deals period. Add on top of all of that, Free Instillation, it's hard, if not impossible to beat!!

Nice Upgrade on 2007 Ford F150. Makes older vehicles look modern. I needed to upgrade speakers as well OEM speakers didn't have the clear sound I needed. Android Auto works perfect had my daughter do Apple Play as well they both work fine. Bluetooth works perfect although a few times pressing Pandora on Radio displayed not connected. Quick fix was to link phone up through Android Auto USB then everything synced back together.

My old 2005 minivan is now almost as good as having a new car's media center. Apple Car Play is great. I can also listen to my favorite podcast. Good value for the price. I would have done it long time ago if I know there is such good value product.

This system has nice, sleek design but I wish the volume buttons were a little bigger. Nice size screen and sinks well with phone for hands free talking.

Bought a JVC 6.8” unit that died on me after just a few months. Best Buy swapped it out with this unit and it works 100% better than the JVC. Screen is a little smaller but I actually like the side panel with physical buttons. A+ Head unit!

It’s not what I thought it would be.
It seemed like it was in my car. It worked for a couple of weeks and then all of Sudden it started intermittently changing what was on the screen. It would go to different advertisements for different music. Then the camera would go on while I was on the highway and go off when I was trying to park. This went on for about a week and a half and today was the first day it wouldn’t even turn on anymore. I called a Best Buy nobody answered it went to a corporate or call center I explain the situation. I went to sudden it started intermittently changing what was on the screen.

I called up Best Buy nobody answered it went to a corporate or call center I explain the situation. I went to A different Best Buy installation location told them my story and I have a month wait time to have them even try to just fixed the $300 radio system I paid for. I am scheduled for 19 March and I have no radio and no camera and no CarPlay for that period of time. Very disappointed. I really thought that they would try to make it right sooner than a month away. Not happy as I am disabled and not easily walking around this was not an easy task for me to go back and try to take that care of this so I went to a different location that was closer because I was told it’s one of the best. I was told they’ll try to get me in Sooner but there are no guarantees. He was very nice but seem to be a stickler for the rules which I do understand. Definitely seems to be a wiring problem, I never had these problems before.
Fingers crossed I get a sooner phone call to come into the store..

I got this for my wife for her very large SUV because she needed a camera and also bluetooth to for safer driving. I added the camera which reversing easier and has a great picture, very clear. And the unit syncs perfect with the Apple CarPlay so she no longer has all the cables sticking out and can use her navigation on the her phone. It has a nice sound and a easy menu which replicates her phone. I have always purchased Pioneer for my cars and they never fail.

Got deck for my 2011 Chevy Tahoe, so I could take calls hands free when the no cell phone law goes into effect in Minnesota.
The Apple Car Play is connected by wire only, but I found my self needing to connect phone to wire anyway to charge while driving.
Great sound, easy to use menus, Siri for Car Play makes hands free easy and a great choice.
Love it,
Keith

I love new entertainment center, I wish the apple features all worked with my android phone. But playing CD's the sound is incredible. I love the backup camera, I do wish I could find a good sunshade to use with it because sun glare can make the screen impossible to see. The hands-free Bluetooth phone connection is wonderful

Great receiver with so many features. Plays Cd’s, DVD’s, MP3, and so much more. Works well with Amazon Music and the clarity is great. Many different settings to find something for everyone’s listening pleasure. Final, this receiver will not break the bank as well. Works well in my 2014 Ford F150

Fantastic sound clarity after replacing the factory speakers as well even though it still sounded good with the factory. Easy to operate and manage. The apple CarPlay is a great addition to simplifying navigation and the hands free is great. This was installed into a 2012 f550 and it’s been great for long trips
