You know, I'd spend like $2k if someone could make a unit just as responsive as a smart phone. Why can't we just have that?? You'd think Pioneer would team up with Samsung or LG or SOMEONE and give us a good and responsive screen
The response with the screen isn’t too bad I just got mine a couple weeks ago I guess it’s a newer model I don’t know if it makes a difference but I love it
To be fair are you going to scroll on this when your driving no if you have the fast control bluetooth with it. So I can see why they didn't include a feature like this. You eyes should be on the road not on a screen.
Damn about time lol. Been watching half assed reviews on this for a few months....I needed this. Now I’ll just wait for the price to drop a bit.... maybe get lucky around the holidays.
im glad that he mentioned that android auto has pinch to zoom capabilities which means Apple CarPlay could support it in the future with this unit. I don't see any cons about this except for price but ill just hold out and wait to see how far it drops for the holidays. I would love to gain the extra din space to put things in my car too.
Took ya long enough to review this! I bought the smaller one and love it. This one was going to be too large for my dash. Like you mentioned, it is packed with every feature.
So if you use the vehicle’s built-in GPS (with the idatalinkmaestro SAT adapter cable)... instead of Pioneer’s included GPS cable ... you don't get wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto?
Nice thorough review... Best I seen yet. Maybe the Display should of been able to be removed and placed in trunk or in the house for safe keeping overnight. I would be replacing AVH 4200NEX I own an older car
I just bought mine from Cartoys with the wiring and the bracket it was $1500 with free installation and lifetime installation warranty and I love it it’s really great hands-free calling and texting Pandora and everything and it’s set up for a rearview camera but you have to buy the camera separate I love it I’ll put it in my 2014 impala limited and it’s great
My only gripe with this unit is the sound settings pages, they aren’t full scale to the screen it makes it look like they have been pulled of a 7” display model to cut corners.
Is there a way to talk on your phone itself when the android auto is running? Say I have someone in the car with me and don't want them to here my conversation. How do I transfer the call to my phone?
Nice review. I have a 4500 NEX that failed on me. I'm looking for a replacement like this for my F350 truck. If this was your money, which unit would you purchase and why? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Hello. Apologies for this late response but will this fit in a 2014 Dodge Durango because Crutchfield says it will?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
Yes it does. Whatever you see on your phone it will show on the pioneer screen when using hdmi except you have to control it from your phone since the screen will be non responsive
This is just sad Pioneer could have done so much with this. I don't like how they dropped a lot of features from the outgoing flagship model, the 8500NEx. There's no more auto eq, which I liked Also and this is a biggie for me, but no integrated SD card reader for strorage? Truly a huge oversight. Especially with the ability to have a forward, backward or even a dash cam u can record your driving experience (for accident protection) or dash cam action ( imagine a theif stealing your car only that your car can record him in action with a dash cam??) Truly huge oversights. Remember, our cheapest cell phones can record HD video. Why they didn't let this one is beyond me But the screen is pretty, crappy but pretty. Nothing a $200 tablet from 2017 can't do. Also thanks Mobile Adio, for the actual testing of the unit! That's an actual review, but honestly I wasn't expecting and real surprising results. Thanks any ways for the testing!
No, you can disable it via a process of touching the screen on bottom left for 10 seconds and then 10 seconds on right side next to bluetooth icon on the source off screen. It's not easy and car needs to be running. It took 3 tries for me and it will show a message of "set on"
Soooooo this might be a dumb question, but I don't see any description on this head unit about built in navigation.....yet it has a GPS antenna solely for wireless carplay??
I have 2015 jeep jk. Just installed this unit. Lots of handshake issues (hotspot, carav, alexa, wifi). Seems each time i get in the jeep nothing connects automatically. Especially frustrating with alexa. Also will the maestro rr work with a 2015 jeep jk? If so, point me to it on your website
$1,200? This head u it is now $1,500 I know, I just installed it in my truck. I love it with one complaint. It doesn’t have a “Bass Boost” feature in the audio settings. I usually keep my bass boost at 2 out of 5. It gives my DD 700 series the BANG it needs that flexes my doors. Other than that, I love it .
I have a question! I gave up on buying some multimedia because it was slow and every time I started the car the multimedia started up and I thought it would be like the cell phone that is on standby all the time. Is this pioneer like that? This is my question...
video playback will require a bypass/grounding of the parking brake. Warning this is a safety hazard. You'll need something like this: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/ax-mtr.html
Does it have a Pioneer built-in navigation (GPS) like other older models in addition to google maps and waze? It helps a lot when the phone loses cell connection.

I had no issue in my avic-w8400nex, where I could control both radio presets and flip to the next track in carplay on one press. I was using pac steering wheel control at the time.

2 comments as I look at all the features on this Pioneer: 1) Will the feature set distract the driver enough to be a safety hazard while driving?and 2) are simple actions made too complex? My 2 year old Pioneer requires FOUR "button presses " just to turn it off; that just doesn't make sense.
Well to turn off the stereo you simply turn off the ignition. There is a button to turn off the display at any time with a simple press. And as far as being distracted, I think anyone who purchases a stereo with internet/video capabilities is accepting the risk, it's up to their own discipline to be distracted or not
@@TheOsk1e ...you have buy it to believe it. Amazing headunit by far only thing compares or comes close is the 11.1 inch kenwood. This does everything it says it does

Bro absolute truth. The fact that u can have two cams, and no sdcard to record your cams?? Dash cams and forward/rear cams are all the rage right now, Simply because u have an extra bit of insurance when someone hits u or tries to steal your car.
