Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the first after market deck I've had in seven years. I'm loving this thing. I guess I didn't realize how much technology had changed in this time. Google Maps, extra gages that track all kinds of details, tire pressure readings.. I've had it for a month and there are still things I'm discovering about it. The interface is easy to use, albeit took me a bit to find everything, but that was no biggie. And it sounds amazing. The equalizer settings are great.

Great product! Very satisfied! Love the CarPlay and HD Radio! It has a bright and colorful display (that can be dimmed at night ... important) and also accommodates a rear camera ... one of the main reasons I purchased this product. Also, SiriusXM is available in the unit (with tuner and subscription needed) ... another great feature included along with Bluetooth for both phone calls and other Bluetooth devices.

The Pioneer 6.8 Multimedia Player works great. I love Apple Car Play, and Pioneer is easy to use and Sounds Awesome. I highly Recommend the Pioneer 6.8 Multimedia Digital Receiver. Please note, it does not play CD or DVD's.

I really like this radio so far. Andriod auto works perfect, screen is flawless, and touch is very sensitive. Plays loud and easy to figure out. I think i need to take a second look at the backup camera wire though as that isnt working but was on my last radio. Also, i thought it would work on steering wheel controls but it looks like i might have to get a canbus installed to get that to work. Not sure-have to do more research.

To be completely honest I was going to buy a new car because I simply wanted a reverse camera and Bluetooth in the car. Then my dad reminded me I could just get one of these installed. Boy did he save me thousands. Now I don’t have a car payment every month and I love how the entire system works. Every once in a while it has trouble registering the music app I use but if I just unplug my phone and plug it back it it picks it up and I’m good to go. I’m beyond grateful for this. The geek squad also installed it so fast and we’re so kind. Overall I’m happy with all of it.

Works great. Like the Apple CarPlay. Wish it had a knob for volume.

A wonderful head unit that is very easy to use and works well with all the “extra stuff” in my vehicle. I give it 4 out of 5 because if you use WAZE, you will have to reseat the connection at the included USB cable in order for all the features in the app to work - and that’s for each time you enter your car and connect to the device. CarPlay or Android Play works equally well with this unit, giving you great access to all its unique features on its respective platforms. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to upgrade their original factory radios to a more advanced unit. You will not regret it.

This stereo makes a huge difference in sound quality with the stock speakers. Upgraded for the Apple car play feature and the backup camera option. Very happy with purchase!

I finally found the perfect receiver for my needs. I really wanted Car Play so I don't have to look on my phone. I only look at my phone when I'm stopped BTW! Anyways, this receiver has everything. Weblink, Alexa, HD and much more. There isn't many HD radio stations broadcasted but, they sounds very clean. The interface of the receiver is beautiful, love that it's all touch screen and no knobs or buttons. Can be used with Apple or Android phones. Pioneer did well on this one!

Bought this receiver to use in my Audi A3 along with the iDatalink Maestro RR. This allows me to bypass the stock Bose system and retain steering wheel controls. Installation was a little more complex than a regular cd deck, but you get a lot of extra features and options to use. It also looks great in the dash, just a nice large screen with no buttons. Sound quality is great, I'm using the active crossovers on the deck (network mode) to send signal to 2 amps. Bluetooth calls sound fine on both ends. Spotify app works well, although occasionally the music will drop out which is annoying. This only happens on bluetooth, if you use the usb connection for Android Auto then it's fine.

I bought this for Apple CarPlay and that feature works great. Unfortunately, there are a couple of issues - Does not auto dim - Half of the setting options are inaccessible - Backup camera input does not automatically switch when inserting into reverse - When truck first starts, there about a 5 second window before the radio connects to the speakers (it sounds like connecting an aux cord to a speaker)

This upgrade to my GPS/Radio system in my 2018 vehicle is just what I needed. My salesman, Aaron, made sure I got exactly what I needed. The installers, Daniel and Eric, did a great job installing and training me on how to use this. I couldn’t be happier!

Absolutely love the wireless CarPlay. Also has the option of wired when you need to charge your phone or use a phone that is not paired to the stereo. The screen is bright and sharp. Back up camera works too. The Best Buy team did the install with all the needed hardware and harnessing. You wont be disappointed.

Installed in a 2015 Chev Impala. Just amazing what adding technology to a car can do. Android auto allows for Waze to be displayed, YouTube music, Sirius XM, and other amazing aps to be displayed. Sound quality is excellent, as good as original stereo if not better. Steering wheel controls still work and Bluetooth Phone is much better than original. Love this stereo, no complaints.

Pioneer has to be one of my favorite car stereo systems and this one is no exception. Great sound, with both Android Auto and Apple Car Play it works no matter if you have an Android or iPhone. Currently I have an Android but want to switch to an iPhone on my next upgrade.As usual Best Buys installer did a spectacular job. Had me in and out pretty quickly. Gave me a demo and paired up my phone for me. With the great job they do it's the main reason I always go to Best Buy for my car audio, computer tech, appliances and other electronics needs..

Purchased for Apple CarPlay as well as adding a backup camera to my car. The unit is incredibly responsive in CarPlay and in its own operating system, has nice EQ tuning, and the customizable LEDs on the buttons are a nice touch. CarPlay has no lag (using an iPhone 11 Pro) and switching between the backup camera when reversing is instant. The screen itself is a capacitive touch screen, like your smart phone, which is the biggest upgrade over Pioneer’s 1500NEX and other $300 CarPlay receivers. Compared to the resistive touch screens in those receivers, the unit feels much more responsive and more premium (think iPhone vs Nintendo DS touch screen). My only complaint about the screen is its low resolution at 800x400 which does look jarringly blurry at first compared to how sharp our phone resolutions are, but in practice it’s hardly a dealbreaker and something you won’t notice while driving. Last thing to note: the unit includes a separate microphone, which can be placed elsewhere in the car (my technician put it next to my rear view mirror). No complaints about phone call quality, and Siri can understand me just fine. “Hey Siri” on CarPlay still listens through your phone, resulting in a delay before hearing your request. Skip Hey Siri and just use the call button on your steering wheel or the mic button on the receiver for Siri.

Love this Pioneer system!!! Works well with my iphone when playing music and phone calls. Recommend this system for your car. I play music via Pandora and YouTube. Works well with Waze!! This system was installed in a 2005 Corvette. Looks awesome as well.

I'd been eyeing this product for a while as I was wanting to get Carplay/HD Radio functionality into my 2015 Rogue and replace the stock radio. While it took a while to get installed, I haven't been disappointed at all. It is a CLEAR upgrade and we've been very happy so far. The installation was a breeze and the staff was extremely pleasant/accommodating to work with. I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who's looking for an upgrade.

Amazing sound and ease of use. Apple car play is great and works seamlessly. We even added a back up camera to it very easily.

This Stereo is great.. I have it installed with Maestro idatalink and my truck hast skipped a beat. This really is great compared to the cheap little 4.3 inch screen that ford had in it. And Ford wanted 1800 just for there 7inch screen with ford lync they are crazy my Truck still remote starts through the ford sync app. Even after the Pioneer was installed and all steering wheel functions work. I highly recommend this head unit it was just brought out this year 2020. So if you need some positivity this year I would say get this deck. It does not have a CD player but who needs a CD player everything is digital or USB played now anyways. So get this Pioneer it is awsome. It has Wayes for GPS directions. Great sound well worth my 300.00 open box price.
