Reviews around feature (3.78 of 5)

  • out of the box, many features are disabled for safety reason.
  • Likewise the Apple Car play is a great hands free feature.
  • I have tried screen protectors and the result is as bad as without
  • These disabled features include playing video, bluetooth setting, phone dial keypad, carplay map search keypad, firmware upgrade, etc
  • The BlueTooth handsfree calling works well, but the best feature is the new Apple CarPlay feature that goes great with newer iPhones

Reviews around bluetooth (3.70 of 5)

  • do you have Bluetooth but Apple play will only work via wired connection
  • Of course, for the shorter trips, the Bluetooth is more than adequate and works great for music and hands free calling
  • why have bluetooth capabilities and then not support updates through bluetooth?4
  • Also the Bluetooth is finicky with connecting to my iphone 6s.
  • I actually prefer using the head unit just as a dumb bluetooth unit for streaming more than Carplay which is very disappointing

Reviews around quality (3.70 of 5)

  • However the issue is, it simply doesnt work as you would want it
  • This was frustrating when it would crash as you would have to turn your car on and off to restart it when it would crash
  • The sound quality is great and it integrated with my car without an issue.
  • Poor Image quality, the image whilst using CarPlay always looked a little blotchy like it was streaming at a low resolution
  • Decent sound quality, looks good in the dash but in bright sun the screen is almost unreadable

Reviews around interface (3.35 of 5)

  • I hope that Pioneer releases more frequent firmware updates to improve the User Interface and stability
  • The interface is amazing, I love how I can use Google Now with it too
  • This was frustrating when it would crash as you would have to turn your car on and off to restart it when it would crash
  • Sound is great, interface is easy and intuitive especially if your an Apple user and it looks beautiful and sleek in the dash
  • I love the choices it gives for inputs as well as the Carplay interface.

Reviews around screen (3.27 of 5)

  • As bright and clear as the screen is, 800x480 isn't really awesome resolution.
  • Decent sound quality, looks good in the dash but in bright sun the screen is almost unreadable
  • Also, the resolution is scaled when using CarPlay so the screen isn't as sharp
  • The screen decided to come lose and now after one too many times pushing it back on has cracked at one corner
  • This would be a nice unit if it didn't have a nag screen whenever it's used in Car Play mode

Reviews around unit (3.26 of 5)

  • Overall, I love this unit and it's doing what it promises.
  • The unit looks great and when it works, performs nicely
  • This unit does not even support basic Bluetooth A2DP audio
  • Freezing/resettingI gave it three stars because it is a good, not great head unit
  • I actually prefer using the head unit just as a dumb bluetooth unit for streaming more than Carplay which is very disappointing

Reviews around carplay (3.21 of 5)

  • If you own an iPhone, buy a cheaper head unit that support CarPlay
  • I like the radio, but it seems that CarPlay is a bit sluggish
  • I've had a couple issues with audio not playing, and CarPlay glitching out when I start my car with my phone already plugged in
  • CarPlay with this device is incredibly buggy and worst of all, there's no way to dim the screen at night, making it a bit distracting while you drive.
  • This was frustrating when it would crash as you would have to turn your car on and off to restart it when it would crash

Reviews around park break (2.09 of 5)

  • If It worked as without restarting and the volume issue I would easily recommend this unit to others.
  • There is still some room for improvement in terms of software stability, but it works reasonably well (as to be expected with tech these days) and it sounds great too
  • I have tried screen protectors and the result is as bad as without
  • This was frustrating when it would crash as you would have to turn your car on and off to restart it when it would crash
  • many apps lock you out unless you press release and depress parking break.

Reviews around list (1.95 of 5)

  • HATE -The longest list
  • My only gripes include: expensive list of extras needed to integrate with iPhone and remainder of OEM Bose car audio system; no auto-dimming feature or ability to integrate with dash lighting controls; screen is low resolution (think iPad minus 60 percent); screen is completely illegible in direct sunlight (which is rare) even with an anti-glare screen protector; Siri hands-free still a work-in-progress, although this might be an iOS issue for improvement.
  • I love it, it's working as I

Reviews around bite (1.80 of 5)

  • Easy to install but interface is a bit wonky and hard to get used to.
  • If you like listening to audio from a video app, its a bit more cumbersome to use
  • Installation went well, although the schizophrenia between the standard Pioneer interface and CarPlay is a bit odd to navigate when you need to change a setting
  • If you really want a CarPlay radio, this one is decent, but may frustrate you a bit.
  • I love it, it's working as I

Reviews around button (1.00 of 5)

  • I would have preferred either dedicated hard buttons or at least more touch screen area dedicated to the volume control
  • Sometimes it starts it from the beginning again, and the only way to get back to where you were is to use that terrible +15sec button.- Spotify, Apple Music, or the Podcasts app will occasionally freeze and not show music or playlists, and it won’t play anything
  • I think that it still can be a distraction to use since there are no hard buttons to feel for
  • Regularly my wife will just try to change radio presets and accidentally hit the wrong button - once even hitting the "auto-set presets" button removing all of the ones we had setup instantly
