The unit itself works great! Long range for Bluetooth capabilites and sounds great too. My only concern is that people say i sound muffled while talking on the phone. But hey, its better than holding my phone.

Thank you for providing feedback on the product, we appreciate your time. I would suggest moving the microphone to a different location. I have found putting in front of the instrument cluster, behind the steering wheel, works best for me.

Avoid at all costs!

Whatever you do, avoid this one. I purchased one from Best Buy about three years ago and now it only works intermittently. Come to find out, they’re know to break after 2 years. Shame on you Best Buy for continuing to sell this model.

Great unit recommended by installation tech. Lots of glare but had same issue with previous aftermarket unit (different brand). Partly due to no tint and beige interior reflects a lot of light onto screen. Screen backlight could be brighter/add an anti glare screen cover.

Screen will stop working

I had this radio for not even a year, then it started to turn white and go back to normal. Finally it stayed white with the colored lines just like all of the other 1 star reviews, and pioneer wants to charge $80 just to look at it (even though it is a common problem with many other owners of this radio). This does not make sense to me and is sad since this costed me around $400. Never going to buy another pioneer product again. Buy this if you like throwing money away lol

I recently upgraded my car's multimedia system with the Pioneer 6.8" Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Bluetooth Multimedia Receiver, and it has completely transformed my driving experience. This receiver is nothing short of phenomenal and has exceeded all my expectations.
First and foremost, the display quality of this receiver is outstanding. The 6.8-inch touchscreen is vibrant and crisp, making it a pleasure to navigate through menus, access apps, and interact with the receiver's features. The responsive touch controls ensure a seamless user experience, allowing me to effortlessly switch between various functions while on the road.
The integration of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay has truly elevated my driving convenience. Whether I'm an Android or Apple user, this receiver caters to both worlds flawlessly. The moment I connect my smartphone, I gain access to a plethora of features and applications right from the receiver's interface. I can easily make calls, send messages, stream music, get directions, and enjoy my favorite apps, all while keeping my eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
The Bluetooth connectivity of this Pioneer receiver is exceptional. Pairing my smartphone is a breeze, and the quality of audio streaming is remarkable. I can now enjoy crystal-clear sound and hands-free calling, ensuring a safe and enjoyable driving experience.

A little pricey, but an awesome stereo…

I recently bought this stereo to replace my old AVH-1330 NEX, which I bought five years ago. I’ve always loved Pioneer products, both for home stereo, and car stereos. This one is a slight upgrade from the old one, and I’m extremely happy with it so far. I love how pioneer made it so easy to just plug-n-play, which made replacing the old one was easy. I’m really pleased with this one, but was not expecting such a jump in price compared to the older one. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking to buy a new car stereo.

Not worth it

This radio was professionally installed and worked amazing at first. But after 6 months it started glitching or would just completely shut off. This started happening more frequently after a while to the point that I had to have it removed. The company would not get back to me to replace even though it was still under warranty. I would recommend you go with something else, this is not worth the money or trouble.

I bought this to replace my girlfriends radio that stopped working. So far its been great. All the functions work well. The entire radio is touch screen so no buttons to press. But, she uses the controls on her steering wheel to change the stations and adjust the volume so no big deal on touch screen no buttons getting used to problem. Overall shes been very happy.

Purchased for my grandson who has an old pickup truck and needed to be able to go hands free for phone calls and also to listen to music. This was the perfect gift. We took it to a shop to be installed and they agreed, best of the best.

DOES NOT PLAY IPODS EVEN THOUGH THERE'S IPOD APP

Pros:
1. Sound quality - hugely improved the audio from the manufacturer's installed head unit.
2. CarPlay and Android Auto works as expected.
Cons:
1. The "iPod" label is misleading. This radio does not really read and play iPods. The very reason I picked this model is because I wanted to be able to connect and play my iPod classic. But no, it doesn't. The "iPod" app is the Apple Music app on your iPhone. DO NOT GET THIS HEAD UNIT IF YOU'RE AFTER PLAYING IPOD.
2. UI could do better.
3. Physical buttons would have been better than capacitive ones.

I haven't gotten to use it a whole lot yet but I love it so far. I got it for a pretty reasonable price and everything seems to work as it should and perfect for what I wanted it for. I've always liked Pioneer because of the quality of their products and this is no exception
