Thanks for the video! I just picked one up for a Hummer H3 with the "Monsoon" audio upgrade and am really excited to finally be able to control the music lol. I wish it had a tape deck instead of CD changer, so I could actually use one of those adapters. My only gripe is not having a volume knob, since my steering wheel doesn't have the controls either
Just bought today. Best buy is going to install it tomorrow. I had to get the steering wheel control module because I can't I just can't be touching the volume while driving lol.
I bought this for my wife's truck and there's a huge difference between Android Auto and CarPlay as fas Maps is concerned. Android Auto doesn't bring up a keyboard to type in a destination or an address, it all has to be done through voice commands. Carplay lets me type in the destinations.
Interesting. It is annoying that Android Auto disables typing into G-Maps. My work around is searching for my destinations before I plug in the phone so they show up as recents in the search box.
@@HoweyJR_ I haven’t been able to try it yet, but do I have turn driving mode off in her Samsung S21 to enable her to type in a destination? It seems like the radio is acting like her vehicle isn’t in park.
I just installed this radio in my car, but it seems like when I don’t touch the screen for a while the screen will automatically say display off and turn off the display. I have to touch the screen to turn it back on. Is there something in settings to turn that off?
Hey Forrest! I just installed this on my car and I use an iPhone. I am having an issue where my voice messages sound really bad and distorted. Bluetooth and phone calls work fine but I send lots of voice messages with CarPlay and those sound like they are clipping. Would you mind plugging your phone into CarPlay and recording a voice memo and letting me know if your audio is also distorted and clipping? Thank you so much! I called Pioneer but they were not able to help me.
Have this radio enjoying so far my only problem, if I listen to radio and turn it off next time I start car the radio station moves to different one. Its not resetting stations it just doesnt stay inthr last one. Any if you having that issue?
I got a question, my DMH-1770nex when i connect my android it wont detected? Do you know how can i fix that, it read a music usb but nlt my phone, i try both iphone and android
If neither phone will connect at all The next thing to check would be the cable and then possibly the actual connection on the back of the radio. Does either phone start charging when you plug it in?
Bluetooth for audio and voice but car play and Android auto are wired only on this model. I think there are some wireless adapters available now. One benefit of the wired connection is that your phone is charging while it's plugged in.
So I just brought this unit for my Chevy Tahoe. I noticed that when I don't have my phone (Samsung) connected I can access the bluetooth features, but once I connect my phone and select Android Auto I can no longer select bluetooth (its greyed out). Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
Biggest difference I see is the 2770 has wireless Android Auto and Carplay. 1770 is hardwired only. Smartphone Features: wireless or wired Android Auto compatible wireless or wired Apple CarPlay compatible screen mirroring for iPhones and Android devices
@@forrestblank Interesting. Do you think there would be any performance difference because the 2770 is newer? I'm not sure how often they upgrade the hardware like the processor and such, this is my first time looking at the head unit market.
hi, I just hooked up a switch, 1 line to the ebrake wire from stereo and other to constant ground. Works no problem, when you get message that can't play back just toggle the switch. I also had a bypass kit hooked up to it but didn't work so did the switch.
It sounds like either a problem with the USB connection or permissions on the phone. This article has good troubleshooting steps to try. support.apple.com/en-us/HT210892
That is a bummer. There are a couple threads on the S20 and Android Auto. Seems like some people have success either using a high quality USB cable (no adapters) and/or enabling USB tethering mode which requires first enabling Developer mode on the phone. Hope this helps. us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S20/S20-not-working-with-Android-Auto/td-p/1148761
They look very similar. The only difference I see is the 1770 comes with a wireless remote. I found a comment that the 160 can only store one phone, but I can't confirm. Also I only see the bt160 at Walmart. Maybe it is a model made just for them, pretty common with electronics. Looks like a good deal.
@@forrestblank thanks well I picked it up late last night but couldn’t find any reviews on it. I did see on google where someone was comparing them but couldn’t find the video. But thanks for the info

The best part was finding out you like Tribe Called Quest
Here we go, yo
Can I kick it?
I like that you rock with A Tribe Called Quest. Very goated for that brother💯🔥
I have a 1700, pretty much the same, enjoying it.
Thank you, getting one installed tomorrow

What model??? Thx
how is it, i get mine done tomorrow. Hows apple play?
Hola amigo, sabes cómo acceder al menu para configurar los controles al volante no puedo hacer funcionar los míos en esta misma radio
Thinking about ordering now for my 04 Honda Accord. Great video
Great review thanks
Mine won’t let me press CarPlay, android auto, IPod, SiriusXM, Bluetooth settings, Sirius Xm settings or factory reset
same anyone found any explanation for it
@@brody632pretty sure you have to use usb
You have to plug your phone into it.
With a charger

How's it going. Did you use a bypass to display the screen 🤔???
Hi man. So
I have to use web link in my android phone for make work android auto in the pioneer stereo??
Thanks...
I don't think so, my Pixel works without weblink.

I have a DMH-1700NEX I can get the mirroring option to work but can't get no sound. Any thoughts why not. Thanks in advance.
Hi, any ideas? Thanks
What phone are you using?
@@forrestblank Using Samsung S8, figured it out, just gotta toggle Bluetooth off and on and plays good now.
yo what can you do with the mirroring ?

Great review Forrest

If neither phone will connect at all The next thing to check would be the cable and then possibly the actual connection on the back of the radio. Does either phone start charging when you plug it in?
Can you not connect it wirelessly?
Bluetooth for audio and voice but car play and Android auto are wired only on this model. I think there are some wireless adapters available now. One benefit of the wired connection is that your phone is charging while it's plugged in.
So I just brought this unit for my Chevy Tahoe. I noticed that when I don't have my phone (Samsung) connected I can access the bluetooth features, but once I connect my phone and select Android Auto I can no longer select bluetooth (its greyed out). Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
Normal I think. Android auto uses Bluetooth in the background so makes sense it isn't available when phone is plugged in and using AA.
Can you mirror videos like UA-cam or other apps?
Yes w/autolink
@@ozzlopez8605 how do you set it up?
What's the difference between this 1770NEX and the 2770NEX? is the 2770 just newer and faster? They look almost identical
Biggest difference I see is the 2770 has wireless Android Auto and Carplay. 1770 is hardwired only.
Smartphone Features:
wireless or wired Android Auto compatible

@@forrestblank Interesting. Do you think there would be any performance difference because the 2770 is newer? I'm not sure how often they upgrade the hardware like the processor and such, this is my first time looking at the head unit market.
Did you bypass the parking brake? If so how? I was looking through mine for a "set on" feature to bypass but I'm not sure how to do it on this unit.
hi, I just hooked up a switch, 1 line to the ebrake wire from stereo and other to constant ground. Works no problem, when you get message that can't play back just toggle the switch. I also had a bypass kit hooked up to it but didn't work so did the switch.
Hook the wire up to the chassis of the cd player. Done.
They have a pioneer bypass sold on Amazon
@Manny Del Real can you share the link from amazon?
Hello, did you have to modify for fitment? if so, did you have to cut any of the metal brackets?
I used a number of adapters but made no modifications or cuts.
So it's NOTwireless apple car play.
Correct, wired only
Does it support backup camera ?
Yes
Why are my apps shaded ? I can’t access apple car play

Does this have Alexa built in?
No Alexa on this model.
I just got 1
Full screen on the Apple CarPlay ?
Does it work with Pandora?
Yes
How do you get steering wheel controls to work with this unit?
I used an adapter from PAC audio. pac-audio.com/

@@ozgisch Can I ask what you mean by switch? I am new at this. Thank you!
@@andrewhyeon9883 just a basic toggle switch to switch on and off. Probably find one at a hardware store , Autoparts store or even Amazon.
this thing sucks I want my Kenwood back
So the iPhone has to be unlocked all the time to use Apple car play?? Damn..
I think it needs to be unlocked only when it gets plugged in.
@@forrestblank is it the same for Android Auto? I.e. does the phone have to be unlocked?
@@jimmy_woods4337 Pixel 5 connects locked or unlocked.
@@forrestblank so does the iPhone it will ask if you want the radio to connect when your phone is locked
