    Nice Unit

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's a perfect fit and works well in my 2015 Kia. Apple play, nice backup camera. Depending on car, you will probably need more cable adapters, my car has steering wheel controls for unit. BUT I checked Crutchfield, and Best Buy was same price for everything and they installed unit for free. Just make sure Best Buy has all of the extra items you need for your car already in stock and there before you take vehicle for appointment. I purchased mine and had it in the car when I went there. I live in AZ, its hot here. So I went ahead and purchased warranty. Which mine is 4 years and cost 40.00. Normally I wouldn't do this, but heat kills electronic stuff here. And for that money they can replace and deal with it instead of me.

    Best Budget radio ever

    Amazing radio. Have had this exact model before. It’s very easy to use and the interface is clean. Sound is amazing. Apple CarPlay works FLAWLESSLY. My favorite perk is that you can change the colors of the lights on the radio. Will always use Pioneer over any other brand!

    Great unit for $300

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Installed this unit in my 350z, looks great. I love the features of this thing, it has spotify, maps, phone, weather, youtube with use of weblink app (easy). Make sure you get a parking break bypass thing to wire in for use of android auto and weblink. You can have messages from facebook and text read outloud, and reply with microphone. You can navigate with microphone, the microphone sounds better than my phones microphone, it's awesome. there's a hard button for microphone use and its onscreen also. It's easy to use this headunit, doesnt take long at all to figure out everything. I'm so glad I got this one out of every other headunit available for $300-$400, dont hesitate to buy.

    The radio works great. A little connectivity issue to Apple CarPlay when I initially start my car, but once the car is in reverse or drive the Apple CarPlay will connect. The response time between each touch on the screen is incredibly quick. Installation was smooth. I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla S that has the Toyota radio fried (dealership stated that the computer chip inside the radio fried and the company that made those chips went out of business year ago). The dealership was going to charge me $1.1k to put in the OEM radio (that broke on me anyways in 2019!). I would recommend this radio to others who are looking to upgrade to Apple car play. The only thing I wish this model had was knobs for the volume. Luckily I have my steering wheel controls, but I know for other vehicles this may not be available. The volume buttons are slim and small in the bottom left corner of the unit.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this Pioneer 7" Android Auto and Apple CarPlay receiver for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler, and initially, I was thrilled with it. The display is clear, the interface is intuitive, and it transformed my driving experience with seamless smartphone integration. However, after about a year of use, a critical issue developed: all the physical buttons on the unit now only turn the volume DOWN. There's absolutely no way to turn the volume up using the stereo itself. I've completely lost the ability to control Apple CarPlay functions through the unit's buttons as well. Fortunately, the steering wheel volume controls in my Jeep still work properly, which is the only reason this hasn't become completely unusable. Another disappointment: despite being advertised for wireless connectivity, you actually need to purchase an additional Bluetooth adapter to truly connect wirelessly to this unit. That should have been mentioned more clearly or included with the purchase. When it works, it's a fantastic stereo that really upgrades an older vehicle. But this volume control failure after just one year is unacceptable for a product at this price point. I'm hoping Best Buy or Pioneer will step up and offer to fix this issue free of charge, as it seems like a manufacturing defect rather than normal wear and tear. Overall, I'm happy with the features when they work, but disappointed in the longevity and hidden costs.

      The DMH-1500NEX is not a wireless Android Auto or wireless Apple CarPlay product. I could not find on our website or Best Buy's website, where it indicates this.
      The volume issue is concerning. Disconnect the steering wheel control adapter from the WR (wired remote) port on the back of the stereo. If the controls start working, we will know the steering wheel control adapter is causing communication issues. If the volume controls still do not work correctly, it would need to be sent in for service. Use this link to find our service centers: https://usa.pioneer/pages/warranty-repair PUSATechAnswers

    Good radio but needs AM HD

    I've been very pleased with this radio overall. Apple CarPlay is great and the overall radio reception is Very Good. I do have a couple of small things that would improve the product. 1. My car is old and I don't have the steering wheel volume buttons, so the front bezel buttons on the radio are very small and I worry about wearing them out. 2. I listen to AM radio, and was surprised that the AM radio wasn't HD. Overall, I like the radio and feel that it was a good investment. I especially like the fact that I could integrate a backup camera. The backup camera and the hands free phone features were the main reason that I bought this radio.

    I bought this to go into a 2016 Subaru Forester and it works great. I paired it with a iDatalink Maestro and the proper adapter harness. This radio when paired with the Maestro was able to pickup all the different gauges (MPH, RPM, etc.), battery voltage, tire pressure, and the door sensors. Apple CarPlay works flawlessly with the unit, the radio stations come in clear and everything works perfectly. The larger screen is a bonus especially at this price point.

    Bought this to replace the OEM unit in a 2014 Toyota Venza. Main goal was getting CarPlay for my wife and my iPhones. Best Buy installer was great, looks great. Everything works as hoped with only a couple of nits to pick. 1. Phones must be connected by cable for CarPlay to work, can’t just use Bluetooth. 2. The reverse camera work fine but doesn’t show the “curves” while backing. 3. The radio: on a couple of stations that show the song playing and artist, it remains stuck on the song first played when tuning in. Changing channels and back again will update it but then it just displays the same song again.

    I've owned many Pioneer head units over the years, and they never disappoint. Sounds great and easy to navigate. I have 2 negatives that are not a game changer but worth noting: 1. The unit does not connect to the vehicles built-in microphone, and the quality of pioneers isn't great. Easily fixed by adding an aftermarket mic at installation. 2. The unit does connect to the vehicles backup camera, but the picture is a little grainy. The stock radio had a 3" screen so I assume there's a compatibility issue that could be resolved if the Pioneer had screen resolution adjustment. I honestly haven't done that much research. If the picture quality is important to you, I'd look at higher priced units or other manufacturers to see if any other's may include a screen resolution adjustment feature. Otherwise, I love this unit and would recommend!

    This stereo unit has served me well so far. It's wired-only and does charge the phone while running CarPlay or Android Auto. Great feature: It has the ability to pair a phone over Bluetooth for audio while another phone is connected with the cable. An iPhone was playing music over Bluetooth while the Samsung phone was connected with the USB-C cable running Android Auto and Waze on the screen. Sound for both was shared so you could hear the music and directions without having to disconnect either phone.

    Added back up camera, microphone for hands free talking and steering wheel volume control to 2008 FJ cruiser. It is a very nice upgrade. The receiver has large screen and easy to navigate. I connect with apple iphone. The Pioneer has worked as advertised. 0 star rating for the ability to communicate with install department at Best Buy. I bought the receiver and used Peter who owns a local shop on the island to install.

    Installed this on my 2003 Honda Pilot. Awesome features and easy to use. I also installed a rear view camera and the image is sharp and easy to see. Android Auto (and the Apple alternative) work seamlessly with this. The call feature is a bit wonky while your driving..then again you shouldn't be driving and talking in the phone. The included microphone works better than most internal car misc. I would definitely recommend.

    Excellent buy. So far so good after installing on my own. Touch screen is very responsive and overall easy to use. I am satisfied with CarPlay option when connecting directly to the integrated USB port. Please note this unit is not wireless but has Bluetooth option. Had never purchased a Pioneer auto unit before but have to say for the short while that I have been using the unit, I am impressed with its functionality, added adaptable options, and its performance.

    I was told the 2400 is an update for the 2300. This head unit works great! I bought this unit to run two amplifiers, a backup camera, and android auto. So far everything works as expected and I could not be happier. Definitely recommend getting the AVH version. Also don't forget to purchase a micro bypass if you wish to unlock more features of the head unit without pulling the e-brake.

    The Pioneer car screen is a total game-changer for anyone who spends a lot of time on the road. I recently upgraded, and it's like bringing my entertainment system right into my dashboard. The display is super clear, even in direct sunlight, which was a big issue with my old setup. Navigating through the menus is a breeze; it’s so intuitive that I barely had to glance at the manual. What really sets this apart is how seamlessly it integrates with my smartphone. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work flawlessly, making it easy to access my music, maps, and contacts without fumbling around. Plus, the voice command feature is spot-on, so I can keep my eyes on the road. Installation was straightforward, but I’d recommend professional installation to make sure everything is hooked up just right. Overall, this Pioneer screen has made my daily commute way more enjoyable and keeps me connected safely. Definitely worth the investment if you're looking to modernize your ride!

    Purchased this unit from Best Buy for my wife’s Chevy Malibu. Let me say this, hands down the best car stereo on the market for this price point. The numerous features are too many to list. Some of my favorites are Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and Hands free Siri. This unit has brought new life to the car!! We cant wait to jump in for each road trip.
