Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had this stereo installed about three weeks ago and love it. It's easy to use, sounds great, and the features are awesome. I use Waze as my navigation system through Android Auto and have had no problems yet. The display looks nice on this unit. I've had no issues with glare. WebLink is very easy to use if you want to watch YouTube while the parking break is on. Phone calls are very clear, and text messages/DMs are easy to hear and respond to. Everything has been top notch so far. I'm more than pleased.

Very easy to use and apple car play is very good. Touch screen is also very response

Great sound quality, the display is top notch. Android auto and apple car play both work flawlessly. Ive been using this for 3 months. The only flaw ive encountered is there is a little latancy when using bluetooth for media. Great unit for the money

I installed this into a 2007 Honda Element. It fit perfectly, the features all work very well. CarPlay is flawless. The interface is good. It’s easy to navigate. I’m really happy with having bought this one.

I ended getting this on sale but i am surprised how much i like this! There are many options how i want to view the screen for example when I am using apple car play i can have it on the split screen or main or even get out of it altogether. It's nice, also has Preamp Output Level at 4 volts instead of 2! now I am adding a dsp but i had thought that maybe I don't need it because there are a lot of different settings like equalizer and crossover but also listening position and i think even timing ! At this point the only reason I might keep the dsp is simply for convenance. One of the things I really like about the interface are the controls on the left side meaning i can quickly press a button for siri or go to the main screen quickly and i really like that. I installed the mic that came in the box and haven't had any issues with people hearing me. Maps work good using my phone one thing i tried to turn off my sub in the options and it didn't work but I have installed everything myself so far so to be fair it might be me meaning something I did. I recommend this especially if there's a deal on it, I don't plan on changing this any time soon

Awesome head unit! Made my 07 Hyundai Tucson feel like a new car! The CarPlay hookup via usb works great and having a nice maps display is perfect. This things sounds really good and brought some good life out of the stock speakers.

Radio portion doesn’t play am stations. Apple carplay works great. Had to do a update ios but once I did it fixed connection issues. May be more radio then you will need but I always go for the bells and whistles instead of regretting it later with a lesser model. Installation was great. They said 2 hrs but ended up being 3 total.

This headunit is pretty good and has pretty much every function you could want. I have always been a Pioneer fan. Overall it works great. The software is what i have a problem with. The wireless apple carplay cut out sometimes but not to often. My only other complaint its the software is a little laggy. When you hit an icon there is a lag of 1-2 seconds before the unit responds. Which isnt a huge deal but is a little annoying.

Very happy with this stereo. I chose this radio for a few different reasons. First, I really enjoy that 2 phones can be connected at the same time. I have a work cell phone and a personal cell phone I keep on me almost all the time, and it is very convenient that both can be connected at the same time in case I get a call on either while driving. Second, I love that I can customize the home screen app layout, background images, and color scheme. I was able to accurately match the same colors as the rest of the lit-up components on my dash, so the stereo gives off the impression that it's OEM. Lastly, I installed 4 Pioneer A-series speakers before I had this head unit installed (2-6.5" in front doors, 2-6x9s in the back). I would have to turn the volume all the way up on the factory stereo before the speaker would start to bump, but with this head unit, the car is rattling at only 1/3 of maximum volume. This is almost entirely due to the increased power this stereo puts out compared to the factory one, but it also has to do with all the different audio settings available on this head unit. I can individually increase volume levels on each speaker relative to each other, customize the EQ settings, and add a bass boost that nearly turns my 6x9s into subs. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. I did a lot of research beforehand, and decided that this was the best stereo for me. I don't care about the size of the buttons, and if it really bothers you, just use the remote that comes with it (duuuhhh, smh). PS. android auto works for me, weblink works for me, and if it doesn't work for you, it is likely because the cable you're using sucks. Try getting a higher grade cable, that's what worked for me.

Has amazing color in Apple CarPlay, very bright and clear. Love the fact that you can add a background wallpaper and see movies. The e-brake prompt will pop up, and that's the only way to work your Bluetooth settings or see a movie, so you will need to have that hooked up. Other than that, it's great. Additionally, the touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, making it easy to navigate through different apps and features. The integration with Siri voice control is seamless, allowing for hands-free operation while driving. Overall, Apple CarPlay enhances the driving experience by providing convenient access to music, navigation, and communication features. The vibrant display ensures that everything is displayed with stunning clarity and detail.

[Employee of bestbuy] It was almost a perfect car stereo except the fact that it lacked a knob to turn the volume or as the streets put it "Crank it up"the features that comes with makes any car that is 2002 feel modern with GPS and Bluetooth the only gripe would it be is that you need to wire it in order to enable the GPS because it works with Android auto from your phone. The sound was amazing it basically pushed my stock speakers over the limit that is why if you have an issue that it sounds terrible it's because you're stock speakers aren't capable would highly recommend to check your stock specifications before putting any head unit. The most impressive part about the head unit is the time it takes to load it is only a matter of seconds to connect especially if you connect it to the wire

Upgraded 2013 Tucson audio to pioneer avh-2550nex. Sound quality so much better than oem radio with oem speakers. Easy to install, added rear view camera, parking brake bypass and idatalink maestro Sw for steering wheel control. Now I have navigation thru Android Auto/Apple Car Play using Waze. also removed original usb and audio port replaced with mic and pioneer usb cord. Very happy how everything works except can not use voice steering control on android phone but works on apple phone on radio but voice works on both phones in android auto and Car play.

Awesome flawless install on a Great product! It fully exceeded my initial expectations. Best Buy has better customer service, better prices and free installation! The local so called stereo shops were over priced charged way to much for installation and weren’t that friendly. Best Buy is the way to go for mobile electronics!

Nice upgrade for anyone looking for better sound, phone integration and ease of use. Nice crossover settings to dial in the sound bellow the physical ones. Nice phone / iPad integration and car play. Added cameras and steering wheel controls work perfectly. The buttons are small so I’d recommend keeping the steering wheel conctrols. Slow boot and sometimes (rarely) drops car play despite physical connection but that’s minor….

Had the radio professionally installed at Best Buy in a 2015 Toyota Camry. It replaced the OEM unit (non-JBL). I could not believe my ears! Despite only replacing the head unit and no other components, the sound quality improved 10 fold! There are so many equalizer and specialized sound settings that even the pickiest of audio enthusiasts can be satisfied with the sound quality. It really fills the cabin with deep, rich sound. The screen quality is clear and vivid. The screen responsiveness is good. I really like the narrow bezel which allows for maximum screen real estate. I would advise that you opt to retain steering wheel controls. Switching from a volume knob to push volume on a screen takes a while to adjust to. Pioneer out did themselves with this one! Super satisfied!

Does what it says. Widget customization is great. I have forward and back up camera up on my home screen. Car av app is a pain to use at first but once you get the hang of it youll have your own custom pics up in no time. I will say most of the negative reviews are based either on phone inconsistencies or they need professional installation. Im using a note 20 ultra and have had 0 issues going to firmware 2.0.

Had it installed for two months so far and I couldn’t be happier with it. Functions perfectly. Im still using the stock speakers in my WRX, but this head unit completely changed the sound of them. Everything sounds so much better just with the controls this unit provides. Saw a lot of people saying you can’t see the screen in sunlight, and it is harder to see in direct sunlight, but that happens with any large glass display. Even in the sun I can still see what I need to see on it, it just isn’t as bright (because it’s fighting the sun). I’d recommend this to anyone. The customization is great, and the DVD player is a nice touch.

Product is good the installers broke my dash and destroyed my jeep and broke alot of parts on my jeep installed it and slammed everything back together very lazyly like they didnt care did over $500 worth of damages for olny a 30 min install will never have best buy do anything to my house or any vehicles again and the manager did nothing really to compensate for the damges gave me like $300 in damages and it didnt cover any fixes really

Just installed today. So far all is well. Looks great, all functions work properly including Android Auto with my Pixel 5. Installed 2011 Silverado LTZ with Crux interface, all factory functions retained. Did have some trouble with fitment with all the adapters needed. But all in all I'm happy. With the current vehicle market this is just what I needed to bring my truck to 2022 status, minus the rust of course.

I've been pretty satisfied with this head unit. It's a massive upgrade compared to the factory radio in my 2003 Silverado. The bluetooth connects to my phone seamlessly and works great. I love the aux port, I have a 256gb thumb drive connected to it with a bunch of movies and music. Works great for trips with my kids. My only complaints are 1 the headunit prevents you from watching videos unless you have it connected to the parking brake and are in park or you have to install a bypass switch to make it think your in park(I installed a simple 2 prong toggle switch.). The 2nd is that my unit didn't include the USB extension cord like it was supposed to, this is more on best buy than Pioneer(purchased open box excellent or excellent certified)
