    Utter garbage. The Geek Squad nicknames these the "duo" models because they require 2 install appointments. 1 to install, the other to remove and return.

    I’ve had the stereo for a couple days and it’s been great. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the volume controls. The physical + and - on the side of the unit aren’t too responsive. A volume knob on this unit would’ve made it a perfect IMO. CarPlay is great along with HD radio and Sirius XM. I love the album art that appears with the Sirius XM songs.

    I got this radio because it has Bluetooth and it fit my old car. It has been great in many ways. I like that I can use CarPlay to synch it to my phone, so no wires necessary, minus the first synch. It does delay some when there are storms, but generally it works great!

    Nice unit, buggy interface.

    I want to like this very expensive wireless CarPlay receiver more, especially given the price, but it has been a bit of a headache to use sometimes. When it's actively being used for CarPlay, it's quite nice — the screen is pretty good and relying on the CarPlay interface works fine. Otherwise, it's pretty clunky. The built in interface is laggy and when you press the screen, it takes about a second for it to react. Something as simple as adjusting the volume can be strange because when you tap the screen to adjust it, the beep and change of volume doesn't happen instantaneously. My biggest gripe, is when connecting to wireless CarPlay, it doesn't automatically launch CarPlay. You have to press the show apps button then the launch CarPlay button every time you hop in the car. There is no setting and this is confirmed by many other owners of this in different forums. Three firmware updates since purchase have not resolved this problem. (Also wireless firmware update always fails — only USB update works.) I give two stars because Pioneer does not provide any support and refuses to fix this issue.
