    Syncs up to your apple device wirelessly and runs your phone via touch screen. Spent a little extra and got the backup camera with it. Works great upgrade for my 2012 truck.

    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.

    Not good call quality with iPhone 15 pro max

    I use an iPhone 15 pro max and the voice quality is horrible. It cuts out constantly. People on the other end complain they can't hear me. There is an awful delay. I spoke with Pioneer and they had me place the GPS antenna on the dash. I did and it did not help. Call quality using another app like Signal works fine. It is also frustrating that you have to push the back up camera parking lines each time. My last Pioneer I did not need to do that. Very disappointed.
