    Great buy and installation by the mobile tech at the Mobile AL Best Buy who got it done in little over an hour start to finish! It looks & sounds great in the 2004 Sequoia!

    Nice unit that has all the bells and whistles to help bring my 2010 Mazda technology forward. Wireless Android Auto and other features work just fine. Word to the wise, you need a separate piece of equipment for it if you want to keep your steering wheel controls. With it had been more clear about that when the purchase was made. Had to schedule a second install just for that piece equipment.

    Disconnect often, volume goes way up unexpectedly. have problems with navigation on Waze. However, it’s a step above the 3000 NEX. My installer repaired/replaced previous unit three times he recommended this. It’s just a tad bit better.

    The things I wish I'd known

    Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Cons: 1. There are no options in the camera settings to have parking guidelines as a default. Since the parking guidelines do not automatically appear, you have to turn them on each time you reverse the camera. 2. I never thought having andriod auto would be a downgrade, but the car automatically syncing to android auto means if I'm actually listening to the radio in my car, it stops and goes to the music on my phone automatically-every time I turn the car on. This gets really annoying when you're running errands and get in and out of the car. 3. The volume increases exponentially on it's own. For example, I normally keep the volume at 10 and if I get a call or use voice to give the car driving instructions it will increase the volume to 22. This issue I'm not sure if it's actually the device itself of the Geek Squad installation, but it's startling even when you know it's coming. Pros: 1. Although the mic is way more visible than my OEM unit, it turns out to be an improvement in sound quality. I got compliments for how crisp I sounded while talking in the car, which was great. 2. Having access to Waze is a big improvement to out of date maps from my OEM unit. It's really helped when traveling to unfamilar areas that may be newer than 2015.

      - Parking guidelines do not appear automatically to maintain NHTSA compliance. Users are required to manually turn parking guidelines on if they are attempting to reverse.

    It is an excellent stereo, it works very well, it does not get stuck and it is very fluid. I would have liked it to have some physical keys for better volume control, but other than that it gives excellent sound quality.

    For the money, perfect! Installation was amazing, Kip did an awesome job at the Bradenton location. Radio itself is a new model with reliable wireless carplay and smoother operation of the radio. Love the interface, its not perfectly smooth like your $1000 iphone but its smooth enough to get the job done, slight refresh rate hickups. I do love its surround sound selection based on listening position, works great! HD Radio works great, usb was installed for you to connect to it wired if you wanted to use a usb drive or use Apple CarPlay wired.

    Purchased open-box excellent condition, but didn't come with the usb extension cord or mounting screws. Best Buy support wasn't very helpful in correcting the issue, which was disappointing. The receiver seems nice so far. Hopefully, it will last for many years to come.

    Just intermittently drops wireless connection when streaming music stored on my Iphone 16 to the radio. Dimmer will not work unless hooked up...a first for me after hooking up numerous modern touch screen radios...it would seem the nanny factor is only getting worse with everything

    Pioneer head unit review

    So going on about months of use. I have to say, for the money. I'm very well pleased with it's performance. The touch screen is responsive. And I've had no connectivity issues at all using Bluetooth android auto. The adjustments for audio. Give you plenty of fine tuning. To tune your speakers to your preference. I highly recommend trying this unit out. If your on the market for a new head unit. It's hard to beat for the money.
