GLARE of screen during daytime daylight is SO bad, unfortunately this wireless Apple CarPlay Pioneer radio monitor head is unusable =( Sound is AMAZING and the app layout if and user functionality is superb! (I traded in the hard-wire USB plug in $300 Apple CarPlay one, and upgraded to this wireless $350 sale price immediately). Wireless connection works on Bluetooth flawlessly with my IPhone 13, except I do not like how the Google Map is not visible on the phone itself, and the monitor is zoomed into map so vlose I can’t see where I am heading next to turn. Also the Google Map constantly pauses the music for every little direction. I am returning for a different brand with glare proofing. My photos are with the back passenger window darkest legal tinted, front passageway window is not

Thank you for providing the feedback on the product, we appreciate your time. I am sorry to hear you had an issue with the glare on your screen. Depending on the location in the dash, this can happen. The map settings are not something the radio can control. It is controlled by Apple and Google maps.

Love it! Bobby Townsend installed it for us and took all the time we needed explaining how to use it. The update to our old, beloved van has extended the life and luxury of our old girl! The WiFi on the unit is iffy but when it’s plugged into my phone it works consistently without any drops of the service. If that’s a deal breaker for you then keep that in mind. Works with Siri flawlessly.

This stereo is amazing, it had fixed so many audio issues I was having with my previous stereo, not only that I’m really loving being able to connect to the stereo wirelessly/automatically (trust me spend the extra 50$) one small gripe I have with it is the glare that it can reproduce when the sun hits it just right it’s not to bad for me with my car but might be to others so be mindful when purchasing, overall really great stereo I would highly recommend you spend the extra 50$ for the wireless connection (and other features)

Purchased a Pioneer Head set for my 2006 Tioga motorhome and had Best Buy install it. I am extreamly happy with the product and the wonderful young lady that installed it. My expectations were more than met. I love the head set and she explained everything I needed to know and went out of her way to set up several features for me. I will be back and highly recomend anyone needing to get one of these for there vehicle to definitely get it from and ibstalled by Best Buy!!!!

Installed in a 2004 Ford F150 Lariat. Installation was relatively straight forward with a new dash bezel kit with a little shaving and trimming the outcome was outstanding. The sound quality with 20 year old stock speakers was phenomenal. With after market speakers it should sound even better. GPS and CarPlay integration were easy to install and setup.

Pioneer radio works great in my Acura RSX Type S 2005. Had to purchase a separate bracket for the radio on Amazon. Other than that no issues. Brad and Dennis at Best Buy Milpitas did great work.

So please with the unit, and the installers at (mellinia best buy) in Orlando Florida. They took really good care of me and walked me through this purchase making sure I got the right equipment, and everything I needed for this project. The store manager was great giving me a discount because I tried purchasing this system online but had lots of trouble doing so. I highly recommend going to this store because they have great customer service and excellent installer. The upgrade looks amazing, and I'm so happy I chose this pioneer and that store.

At first, I thought it was great until I did some research after I got my sub I went to go look under the dash and the installer which no longer works at the Warner Robins location, where I purchased it at through the box away my camera backup cable everything like that he didn’t install. My GPS signal locator where I warned them to the wiring is hanging down and the radio keeps glitching out. I would like to get I’m gonna pull it out myself and it says that y’all do not fix that brand I would rather just get it pull it out and get a different head unit and I will install it myself this time.

I purchased this radio and had it installed in my truck so that I could listen to music using my SiriusXM subscription. The radio is labeled as SiriusXM ready. I called Best Buy for help in locating the radio I.D. number needed to activate Sirius; only to be told that the radio IS NOT SiriusXM ready and that I would need to purchase and have installed a separate SiriusXM tuner installed. I am not a happy customer!

You are correct, the DMH-W3000NEX does not have SiriusXM built-in. They require a separate tuner and our radios are "ready" to accept their tuner. You could also use the SiriusXM application. This app is now supported in Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, it will appear as a source.
