GLARE of screen during daytime daylight is SO bad, unfortunately this wireless Apple CarPlay Pioneer radio monitor head is unusable =( Sound is AMAZING and the app layout if and user functionality is superb! (I traded in the hard-wire USB plug in $300 Apple CarPlay one, and upgraded to this wireless $350 sale price immediately). Wireless connection works on Bluetooth flawlessly with my IPhone 13, except I do not like how the Google Map is not visible on the phone itself, and the monitor is zoomed into map so vlose I can’t see where I am heading next to turn. Also the Google Map constantly pauses the music for every little direction. I am returning for a different brand with glare proofing. My photos are with the back passenger window darkest legal tinted, front passageway window is not

Thank you for providing the feedback on the product, we appreciate your time. I am sorry to hear you had an issue with the glare on your screen. Depending on the location in the dash, this can happen. The map settings are not something the radio can control. It is controlled by Apple and Google maps.

Very happy with this radio. Easy to use and great features. Wireless android auto works perfectly. My only complaint is that there is no volume knob. Volume is controlled with buttons on the screen.

So please with the unit, and the installers at (mellinia best buy) in Orlando Florida. They took really good care of me and walked me through this purchase making sure I got the right equipment, and everything I needed for this project. The store manager was great giving me a discount because I tried purchasing this system online but had lots of trouble doing so. I highly recommend going to this store because they have great customer service and excellent installer. The upgrade looks amazing, and I'm so happy I chose this pioneer and that store.

F150 Lariat Stereo upgrade

Installed in a 2004 Ford F150 Lariat. Installation was relatively straight forward with a new dash bezel kit with a little shaving and trimming the outcome was outstanding. The sound quality with 20 year old stock speakers was phenomenal. With after market speakers it should sound even better. GPS and CarPlay integration were easy to install and setup.

Pioneer radio works great in my Acura RSX Type S 2005. Had to purchase a separate bracket for the radio on Amazon. Other than that no issues. Brad and Dennis at Best Buy Milpitas did great work.

This stereo is amazing, it had fixed so many audio issues I was having with my previous stereo, not only that I’m really loving being able to connect to the stereo wirelessly/automatically (trust me spend the extra 50$) one small gripe I have with it is the glare that it can reproduce when the sun hits it just right it’s not to bad for me with my car but might be to others so be mindful when purchasing, overall really great stereo I would highly recommend you spend the extra 50$ for the wireless connection (and other features)

I purchased this radio and had it installed in my truck so that I could listen to music using my SiriusXM subscription. The radio is labeled as SiriusXM ready. I called Best Buy for help in locating the radio I.D. number needed to activate Sirius; only to be told that the radio IS NOT SiriusXM ready and that I would need to purchase and have installed a separate SiriusXM tuner installed. I am not a happy customer!

You are correct, the DMH-W3000NEX does not have SiriusXM built-in. They require a separate tuner and our radios are "ready" to accept their tuner. You could also use the SiriusXM application. This app is now supported in Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, it will appear as a source.

Pioneer has issues

This rating will change if my issues are ever addressed. I am unable to play stereo audio through the aux input. I have tried multiple cables like the one described in the manual. Pioneer technical support is no help. After three calls they are now telling me that the aux input doesn't accept stereo audio input without video. What?! You have advertised it and labled it as an aux input but you cant input audio only? I have been buying Pioneer products for 35 years, if this can't be resolved it will be my last.

The AUX input can accept a basic stereo audio input signal. I tested with the headphones output of a phone to the AUX input and got sound. Make sure the AUX connector is securely plugged into the back of the stereo. The white connector needs to make a secure snap when proper. Make sure you fully raise the audio output on your XM device. If not, it may not through clearly. If you continue to have problems, contact our Product Support at 1-800-421-1404, select option 1. They will provide further troubleshooting assistance.

It looks good, sounds good. Availability of compatable parts such as deck mounting adapters, speaker wire harnes, antenna adapters, speaker mounting kits, and all were a problem, once all the parts were in ( and re-ordered, ) getting a technician to install it all was a challenge, I had to go back three times and ended up having to go to another store to get it all installed.

Device works well and is a good basic unit for CarPlay. A small knob for volume would be much better (vice the + and - buttons the unit has).

I upgraded to this after having the cheaper not wireless model installed. Works perfectly for what I need it for, huge improvement over having to look at my phone constantly for navigation. Wireless connects anytime I get in the car without me having to do anything. Screen is decent size. Replaced the jbl screen I had in my car. There is a little glare, but the placement in my car naturally cuts down on that. Would recommend. I just wish I would have seen this one first.
