Great review Brother, I am in the process of installing this head unit now. Should have it in today. The price is a key feature on this unit, and the wireless CarPlay. A few short years ago you had to spend way more money to get "wireless" CP/AA from the big name heat unit makers. Finally the tech. has caught up to make these bigger screen units more accessible on a more reasonable budget.
Hello stranger I just had my pioneer DMH-WT3800 NEX installed early today and so far really great radio station. But my biggest complaint about it right now so far is that I connected my Apple car and whenever you lose signal the radio will turn off and the only way to turn the radio back on is to turn the car off and back on. Idk if it just me that having that problem but yeah. Other then that it actually a great radio I’ll give it a 8/10.
Seriously considering this radio for the wife's little Ford Fiesta beater that she drives to work. Sync system took a dump and she really wants her hands free phone working again. Also wants satellite radio. I considered just going with the inexpensive Boss because this is not her primary vehicle but I don't want to have a separate interface for the satellite radio to keep things simple. Single din is a must due to limited dash space and the Pioneer seems to check off all of my needs and then some!
I purchased a different one online, stopped at Best Buy yesterday, my goodness I didn’t realize they are so small, only a little bigger than a phone, I switched out for this one, getting installed Tuesday.
I think this would be perfect for 2016-23 Tacoma. People have been using 6600NEX to get that factory look since the opening is exactly the same size as stock HU.
Just had one installed in my 2011 Tacoma. Love it, but one major complaint; Setting up the wifi is not user friendly at all. Incredibly frustrating. Had to go back to the install shop and have their stereo geek set it up.
They do currently have it marked down to $600 w/ free installation. I purchased one yesterday. It also comes with a free backup camera and sirius xm tuner cable. However, they will charge extra to install the sirius xm adapter and backup camera, and it requires additional installation parts you have to buy. So all in, I'm paying $958.64. However, I'm happy with the price, since the additional parts and install fees would also apply to the more expensive units.
Million Dollar Question: Is the Screen Viewable in Bright Sunlight, i.e. a Convertible. Existing Five year old Kenwood is useless with the top down. Cannot read at all, apparently these new floating displays are supposedly a lot better. Trying to get that confirmed. The size is perfect.
I have this installed for a few days now and I cannot get the browser to show up like on the other two. It only gives me the weather option. Is there a way around this? When registering it if I pick a different model number it won’t register but if I pick the 3800 the browser feature goes away and it doesn’t show up on the screen either. Please help.
This!! This right here! I have the same unit now and when setting up through the pioneer caravasist app the browser feature disappears. If I pick the other units (7800NEX OR THE 8600NEX) the browser shows up on the app but won’t connect to the radio because it’s the wrong model. I’ve had mine a few weeks now and have pretty much given up on having a browser. Maybe there will be an update. It sucks because that’s one of the main reasons I bought it. Obviously I’m not using it while driving or anything but because of certain circumstances with my job and other reasons I’d like to be able to access it from time to time.
Could it be one of those things you have to be parked and have the emergency brake on, I’ve seen that for things like Netflix or what not for other models.
Hello, I want to install this product on Toyota hilux 2022, I would like to know if there is a plug and play harness for such a vehicle that works on this screen. thank you
So I have this exact unit in both my work and personal vehicle but was told the maestro doesn’t work for my 2014 dodge charger due to the metra ac connection module I already have from my previous unit. But it does work for my work van
The guy at Best Buy had to do some research while I was there to see if maestro would give me the extras more than steering wheel control on my 2011 Corolla, it does.
Just seeing your question, both? AC=Air conditioner? If so no AC control from the unit I don’t think, I haven’t spent a lot of time with it, it’s in my wife’s car but I think I seen the AC was blacked out, I’ve tried to update it both USB and av car assist with no luck. But works well regardless
Does the screen have to be mounted on the unit? If not, how much slack is there to be mounted away from the unit? I have the perfect application for something like this, in a 1972 El Camino SS396. Mount the unit behind the dash and install the screen on front of the dash under the AC/Heat controls.
Why can't you remove apple Car Play or Android auto icons from the home screen? I hate having both take up room in the home when shortcuts , also has settings to change splash screen but it'll never find the file no matter what you save it as. You can't change the theme when not in dark mode either.
How does this radio work? When changing climate controls, is it seamless or does it need some kind of wait time? I'm looking at swapping to this from another radio and the biggest reasoning behind that is because it blinks out the screen anytime. I press a climate control button using iDatalink
Would this be a better option than the boss elite 10.1”? I would love to pay $300 less for the boss unit but I don’t mind paying $300 more for this pioneer unit if it means it better than the boss stereo
Josh is the screen quality compared to the 7600 noticeably different? I'm debating this unit vs. the Alpine iLX-509, any comments on the sound quality between these two? This is going into a Toyota 4runner with an OEM+ Sound System so the 2V pre outs probably aren't going to be that big of a deal.
I didn’t notice a difference at all, it’s not gonna be a big deal when using the UI… maybe with the video input but the 3800 doesn’t have HDMI SO … for video input it would. I would do the 509 ALL DAY if you have the extra few hundreds $$. Hdmi in 1280x800 plus 5 EQs etc
@@BreakersStereoI need to know does this do any screen mirroring at all with apple iphones ? Even if it’s wired and if so what apps are necessary I was gonna buy today for what it is , but I def need ability to mirror to iPhone
I just installed this unit today and its overall beautiful. But the split screen carplay for doesn't function properly. No music data is read and only the playback buttons work. I had also noticed you put the demo picture up in the video when you showed it. I haven't actually seen it work properly yet. Any ideas?

Breakers stereo and performance - question for you. Even though I connected my phone contact list to the Pioneer 3800NEX, it doesn't seem to recognize any of my contacts. If I say make a call, it will say "who do you want to call?" and I say a person's name, and it just comes back and says something went wrong. If I say I want to send a text it says "who do you want to send it to?", I could say any person's name in my contact list, and it won't work. If you could help, that would be immensely appreciated.
I believe the stereo is using the voice prompts through your iPhone or android. I’ve personally experienced this in my vehicle at on time and I have an Alpine and an iPhone. Try to rest your phone and see if it helps also check to see if you have the lastest software on your phone. Ok hope that helps -Josh
Nice. 90% what I want. Would go kenwood.. but price. Does it angle left right? Does this have dual zone? I want to send video audio to the rear while having my music in front. Or is there another way to achieve dual?

And if the NEX can do Coolwalk without a software update, what's the difference between the Pioneer split screen and Coolwalk?
Android auto has split screen, but this is for splitting things like navigation with music app. Pioneer also has split screen, so you can split the built in apps (like radio turner) with car play.
