    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.

    Installed, tuner radio was working, but when trying to connect to wireless Apple car play, screen goes black, reset button front of radio, made the screen blink, but same black screen, and only lights on touch buttons light up. Disconnect car battery, and radio for a day, came back plug it all back in, nothing same black screen. So maybe I got a defect one.

    At first, I thought it was great until I did some research after I got my sub I went to go look under the dash and the installer which no longer works at the Warner Robins location, where I purchased it at through the box away my camera backup cable everything like that he didn’t install. My GPS signal locator where I warned them to the wiring is hanging down and the radio keeps glitching out. I would like to get I’m gonna pull it out myself and it says that y’all do not fix that brand I would rather just get it pull it out and get a different head unit and I will install it myself this time.

    Bad install

    I ended up paying almost $800 for a dumb installation. They disconnected my original USB input and put another one through the cupholder. My voice input that was already installed, was cut off and they did a jankie job wiring a microphone that’s visible. The GPS never works and the time and date is never displayed because of this.

      I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the installation of your DMH-W3000NEX. It is not recommended to use the factory USB ports with an aftermarket stereo. This can cause communication issues. Also, the factory microphone is not always compatible with an aftermarket stereo. The connections are different and the radio is not tuned for the factory microphone gain. PUSATechAnswers

    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.

    1 month after purchasing this head unit the bottom half of the screen stopped accepting any touch input and that makes it almost completely inoperable. Not what I would expect from a $400 head unit. Don't buy !

    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. PUSATechAnswers

    Works flawlessly. Installed in my 1999 Chevy Suburban and have had 0 issues with it since Install. The Wireless Android auto connects instantly to my Z fold 5 and have not had any problems with the connection to it. Many people complain about sun glare and while the screen does have a glossy finish I have never had an issue with the sunlight making it hard to see. I have been in other vehicles with really bad infotainment designs that cause it to be a bigger issue so its something to be aware of.

    Works very well. No issues with wireless connection. Screen is clear enough and no issues with the touch screen. The only issue I have with it, is the lack of volume knob. The UP/DOWN volume buttons are small and on the side, so not having a volume knob for a quick volume decrease is annoying.

    Fit into our 2000 F250 and works great. Even hooked up to the original factory installed speakers it sounds great. The operation is simple and the screen is very good. Buy the installation from Best Buy when you purchase the radio then it’s only$50. The TEC at or store was great!
