Thank you for providing the feedback on the product, we appreciate your time. Make sure you do a pin by pin comparison of the wiring harness. In some cases the connector is the same but the wires are slightly different.

More than expected. This is a versatile upgrade from my stock 2005 unit. It has great sound, includes a DVD/CD player and Apple/Android compatibility. I can also now use Bluetooth for phone and will add backup camera. Not such a great installation. The adapter seems jammed in and is loose on one side. Also think volume control is a little small.

Purchased this unit about a month ago as an open box. Was in like new condition but missing remote. Fine, i never use them anyway. Installed myself and set up was really easy. Lot of customizations available for backgrounds, illumination, sound and Home Screen. Lot of newer Pioneer units don’t have these features and are kind of boring. Backup camera works great. Sound is amazing. Plays dvds and cds. Playing dvds is a pain because you have to hook up a eire to your parking break. Waste of time because you’re not going to be watching dvds mutch in your car. Overall i was satisfied with my purchase but ended up returning it due to no Carplay and missing the remote because it should of been included.

Thank you for providing the feedback on the product, we appreciate your time. You are correct, the AVH-521EX does not have Apple CarPlay. Hopefully your next unit included the feature.

Great Deck, dvd will need some MacGyvering

I have a 2009 Audi A3. This deck definitely woke up the factory speakers in the car. To the point I almost did not install my aftermarket subwoofer. But since I had ran all wires for sub ahead of receiving the deck. This deck was perfect for my car. The adjustments available are perfect especially since I had zero plans of removing the factory sub. I was able to turn down the base on the factory sub while maintaining sound quality on the speakers and running an aftermarket sub. Only thing that was misleading about this deck is that I bought it for the ability to watch dvds. The deck has a safety feature where dvds can only be displayed if the car has the e-brake on which from a safety stance makes sense but if I am driving with my kids the dvd feature is for them not me. So I had to bypass this feature. So just know that the dvd player will not function without some MacGyvering. Also I wish there were slightly better background options BUT you can load pictures and things which I havent tried yet. Bluetooth is quick and accurate, and the microphone picks up my voice very well. Overall one of the nicer double dins I have owned. Outside of the dvd chicanery I give the deck a 5 outta 5

So i had an alpine single din and upgraded to This pioneer unit and it really is all one would need. I know there is no GPS installed however programs and ways have made it possible to have the unit MIRRIOR your phone so in a sense you'll have GPS ON screen. DVD, CD, AUX, USB, camera connects front and rear, phone connects up to 3 or 4 Bluetooth devices at one time radio it really has everything someone might need or want, plus all kinds of added features that really make this unit not only worth every penny but brings simplicity to the sometimes-aggravating commutes. I like the fact it is update capable and will be a unit not out of date next year this one should be good for the long-haul mines been GREAT!!!And trust me as a single dad with 2 kids 12, 14, they like it and claim its "legit" lol so if todays teenager also approves what else do you need to know ! HAHA.

My daughter has a 2015 Nissan Altima SV and her radio went out. I replaced it with this radio. She was able to maintain her factory backup camera and steering wheel control with the added Pac Rp4-ni11 interface.
The sound quality is great. She loves all the different options the radio comes with. It brought the factory speakers to life. The RCA JACKS had to be cut off and connected to the speaker wires to get rid of the low volume problem.

This is the perfect upgrade for my 2003 GMC Sonoma. It was not hard at all to install. I would say the most difficult step was I had to cut some of the material out from behind the unit to make room for wiring. Back up camera is a very nice feature for me. It has enhanced the safety aspect of my every day driving. It operates my IPOD Nano 6th generation.
A 2nd camera will be connected to a large cargo trailer soon. I will be able to view that camera whenever I wish. It will help me back the trailer up. It will allow me to look behind the trailer before I move. It will also allow me to check who is behind me before I change lanes while driving.
It provides me better control over my amps too. Sounds better than the alpine unit I had in it before.

Chock full of features, definitely an upgrade from the stock radio, forward upgradeable. Navigating USB files is wonky, but better than being stuck with commercials. Remote control is not as handy as it should be, but will suffice for backseat riders. Optional steering wheel control adapter would be best for this system, but since I don't have steering wheel controls, can't use. Waiting for the weather to cool so I can connect a reverse camera and bluetooth. And upgrade speakers. Not the easiest install, but manageable for the mechanically inclined.

Needed Upgrade

I bought this simply because of the bluetooth. My previous radio did all I wanted musically, but I needed to upgrade to a head unit with bluetooth. After using this product for a while, I can say I'm glad I upgraded. Of course, I do have a few nitpicks, but that's just me wanting the same experience my previous head unit gave me with the added feature of being able to make and receive calls while driving. In my opinion, this head unit worth the $300 I paid for it.
