Fantastic upgrade from a receiver that doesn't have apple carplay without breaking the bank! This radio does have a few issues however, well i should say its either the radio or the installation (i used best buy installation). every once in a while the radio will not turn on when the car turns on ; the remote will not work with the radio every once in awhile ; and it is picky with which cords you use, mine only likes to work with original apple cords aftermarket ones it will randomly disconnect from apple carplay OR not connect at all.

Replaced my 12 year old Kenwood in dash radio with this one. So glad I did. This Pioneer AVH-2550NEX does it all. HD Radio; Sirius; CD Player for my 200 CDs, Joined Spotify just so I could create my own music playlist and listen to "my songs" while driving. Bestbuy did a great job installing it and going over all it's functions with me.

This is an upgrade from a previous Pioneer radio. The HD radio really is an improvement over analog. Android auto works like a charm.

Now I can use Apple CarPlay, which means Siri will text my buddies for me, Google Maps will provide directions via audio and map on the display (that I can actually see!), and it's easy to control my music hands free. It makes my 2011 vehicle feel at least 5 years newer inside.
I will note that the install at Best Buy wasn't flawless, and a couple of unrelated components of my truck were not returned to their correct positions. This was easy enough to fix. The installation was otherwise good, fast, and free, so I'm not complaining.

The screen is bright and easy to read. The sound retriever function adds that extra dimension that compressed files lack. It has a lot of power and bass punch is very satisfying.

I cant describe the feeling of psychological freedom I felt when removing the phone mount from my windshield. This device has worked very well for me so far for Android Auto and Apple Car Play.
It also improved the sound of my stereo system to boot. But the big win is having the phone (after 10 years of phones in windshields) out of view and having hands free phone functions put where they belong, in the center of the dash.
I feel like I have a functioning car again after so many years of in dash radios that dont really do anything anymore.

Wanted a stereo with Android Auto. Pioneer never disappoints.
Loaded with features and easy to use. Better than the factory unit in the wife's VW Golf.

Radio is good but I bought it at best buy and had free installation
but the installation guy he said he could not do it die to the fact there would be cutting of the Studs in the inside .... well he was 100 percent wrong took it to the stero shop they installed it with no problems at all and no cutting involved was done in 35 minutes so best buy cost me money to have the radio installed somewhere else when they should of done it for free they need to get better people who knows what they are talking about very disappointed

I bought this receiver for the Apple CarPlay and its great. For the CarPlay to work your iPhone has to be hooked up via usb but it throws the CarPlay apps on the screen. You can have navigation running through maps and hands free calling and text messaging. If your phone isn’t hooked up via usb, it will connect via Bluetooth for streaming your phones music. Not as good as CarPlay but it works. I’m very happy with this purchase and got free installation promo even though I purchased all the wiring harnesses and dash kit elsewhere.

Feature rich

I bought this to replace the original factory head unit radio in my 2006 MDX. It's feature-rich (USB, bluetooth, Android auto). The only downside is the row of buttons on the left hand side are tiny. You cannot read them - must memorize them, and otherwise you will have a hard time to operate it while driving.
Now most of time, I can use steering wheel control without using these tiny buttons.
