    I installed this in my car using the idatalink maestro and mus1 dash kit. It now controls my climate control with the touchscreen instead of the factory dials and buttons. I was also able to retain the steering wheel controls. Great adjustability for the sound quality and the apple CarPlay is nice to have

    Our factory system zonked out, and our son suggested we try Best Buy for a replacement. Will in the auto service geek squad was very informative and helpful in choosing a system. It's pretty easy to use, and has so many great features that the factory system didn't. I just wish the instructions were a little more detailed, but Will helped us with what we couldn't figure out. : )

    The LED Screen is bright and Clear. My right eye was damaged in a motorcycle accident so visual quality was a huge concern. Even in bright sun in Arizona the screen is easy to see. The sound in excellent. The installers did a great job it almost looks factory. I am often disappointed by purchases. I was very pleased with my purchase.

    Love the receiver and all of its options - but a remote was not included as indicated on the receiver packaging. Buttons are a mite small for my big hands. Display is excellent.

    I really like the radio, how it interfaces with my android phone, and the clarity of sound. I am not convinced that the SiriusXM antenna that had to be installed performs as well as the OEM installed antenna which I was told couldn't be used. Overall, though, I am satisfied with my purchase.

    This is a new car receiver for my daughter's car. We have Pioneer with Apple CarPlay in 2 others and overall... it's the best combination. Pioneer's NEX systems are so easy and coupled with Apple's CarPlay, it makes it like you have your iPhone and Siri right at your command.

    Finally I decided to upgrade my OEM car radio on my Scion XB. Got this pioneer mainly for all the features at this price. So far it's been great. Love the fact that I can set my own wallpaper or backgrounds. It was a breeze to install with the PAC interface and install kit I purchased. Great buy.

    Had Geek squad install this in my 2013 Highlander. Bought all the kit items they suggested. LOVE IT! Seamless integration with all aspects of the car, STeering wheel buttons, camera...all work as original equipment. Sound quality great. Apple Car Play is amazing and a much safer ride.

    I wanted to upgrade my stereo for my 2005 Honda Accord, so I bought this unit and the radio replacement kit, and a set of speakers. I am so happy with everything! It sounds great, is easy to integrate with your phone and program, and the interface is both pleasing to look at as well as easy to navigate.

    This unit replaces the OEM unit in our 2015 Subaru Forester. We like it so much better than the original unit. More functionality, easier to use, and sound is better even though we kept the original speakers. Microphone for phone calls is significantly better than original.

    This is a amazing replacement unit for anyone who wants a easy way to get iPod / android integration with built in navigation in a easy to use head unit ! The sound is amazing and the features are easy to use. A dedicated power button would be helpful on the unit itself but other than that it is a solid unit

    I was planning on buying an Alpine. This Pioneer was on special so I made the choice to buy this one. This has HD Radio and Android Auto. Works flawlessly and I absolutely think this was a fantastic buy. With the volume control was just a little larger. Not complaining though. Highly recommended

    I was really impressed with this stereo, I hooked it up and everything works the way it should. I really like the apple car play. Your phone does have to be connected to the receiver to work but it comes with a usb extension cord. Maps works perfect, and sounds awesome would definitely buy again

    Bought this for my wife to use for installing a backup camera. She is not too tech savvy but has had no problem learning to use many of the features. Android Auto connects seamlessly and has been great for navigation, hands free calling and streaming music.

    Have had this stereo installed for a few months now and haven't had any issues with it. I really like using the Android Auto, it's easy to use. Had another Pioneer before this one, and the connections were the same making install a breeze. The software running it is a little smoother than the old unit, but honestly the biggest thing for me is the Android Auto and Google maps. Phone has to be connected via USB for the Android Auto to function, but that's ok because running maps tends to drain my phone battery anyway. Highly recommended, especially for the price!
