Great unit however
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great unit overall. However this unit does not support apple phones 8 or higher. I specifically bought this unit for the maps and apple car play but the unit is so old that its not up to date with our current digital market. I will be returning.

Posted .I am sorry to hear you are having a problem with the DMH-1500NEX.
The unit definitely works with the iPhone 8 and higher devices. I have tested with the iPhone 15 and it is still working for Apple CarPlay.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a bit disappointed in that there is not direct access to GPS and SMX with this product as I thought it would. Only through my phone. Otherwise, it is fine.

- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
It's going back
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Where to start. The sound quality is very good. That's it I have siriusxm. When I go to use it and try to change channels I get no signal. When I turn off the car and restart it I can sometimes charge channels. The picture quality for the backup camera is awful. When I used it on my Kenwood it was all good. This was supposed to be an upgrade but it's not. I'm taking it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend I should have returned it when I had the chance
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this 7 “ radio, and was installed by Best Buy…within months my steering wheel controls ( volume up&d own and track changing) stopped working. I took it back and was told I needed to buy an upgrade adapter from the adapter I already paid for… 1 1/2 years later the radio stopped working. I get a blank screen, other times it comes on, but it’s frozen…I should have purchased a warranty..They just don’t make stereos like they use to

Yuck shoulda stuck with JVC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to spruce up an older vehicle and I hate it. I am very much more into jvc products. It takes too long to load and its not that fantastic. Non of the apps for pioneer work for it like mirrorlink or web host and im not impressed if I could take it out for free and get my money back I would. Touch buttons work when they want to and the google works when it wants to. It is good for talking on the phone though
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNo manuel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Too bad they don’t have an owner’s manual with it. Makes it pretty hard to figure out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLOUD FANS!! STAY AWAY
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i had high expectations for this apple play car stereo. after i installed it, the stereo fans were SUPER LOUD. never ever had a stereo with such LOUD FANS. you can’t hear it when your driving, but with the stereo off, and just being in the car, you can hear it. i returned it and went with sony. pretty disappointed that a unit at almost $450 has loud fans that stay on all the time.

Disappointed beyond belief
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will NOT allow android auto to load. Only functional part so far is bluetooth audio, which gives me the same functionality that a $7 cable would have offered had i stayed with the stock radio. So very disappointed, as this was a gift for my wife.

Volume down stays stuck (doesn’t click )
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The volume (down) button stays stuck in its place ,and I don’t like that due to this being a high quality and expensive unit

Never do business with Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to have it installed by BestBuy because “Free” installation was included. I booked my appointed for noon on a Monday and the day of they told me it was actually for 1pm. They rescheduled me for a week later and then canceled it without telling me. Best Buy then tried to charge me $200 for parts that I don’t need and were “included with Best Buy install”. So they messed my appointment up twice and tried to charge me $200 for things that are supposed to be included even though I didn’t need them. I’m done doing business with Best Buy.
