  8. user155325

    My 2000 GMC 4wd is now the truck you wanted in high school. Contacts, music, map, back up camera, it all works. Don’t believe YouTube this is a big job. Dashden kit and several parts. Installed Visalia, Cali, pros. My speakers are just wow!

  9. TexasTrash65

    Very happy with this radio. I always start with a pioneer radio on a system. I would recommend it. Great features to tune your system. Love the map display on the screen.

  10. TonyP

    Great radio and sounds good on my Jeep speakers I like it

  11. Nlor

  12. Waltman

    Ghgggggggggggggggggbgggreat

  13. NLincon

    A great product at a reasonable competitive price. Installation done by Terry definitely a master Autotech installer!

  14. alex

    geek squad was knowlegeble and efficient. the product is excellent!

  15. Amblasia

    The pioneer system was relatively inexpensive and did everything that was advertised. I would buy this product again in the future.

  16. RolandC

    friendly service to install this easy to use radio. Looks great too.

  17. gomp11

    sounds great and works great!! the phone sounds great and the bluetooth sounds great too

  18. SkiBum

    Absolutely love the new stereo. Allows my older corvette to look, sound and function like a newer car with Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay.

  19. WayneH

    The Android Auto by Pioneer works great, couldn’t be more pleased. The installation staff were efficient and helpful in showing me how the Pioneer works.

  20. ArtC

    This is my second Pioneer receiver. I liked the first one so I bought one for my other car.

  21. Ekibowag

    I love the car play unit! However, the volume buttons are very small and not great for driving.

  22. Bigd

    Only thing it doesn’t have is wireless Android auto. Otherwise awesome.

  23. JohnP

    Works great! Adding Bluetooth capability and the backup camera to my 16 year old truck bought it up to date.

  24. JeremyM

    The guys who replaced my new stereo were wonderful. They did such and amazing job and I definitely recommend them to anyone.

  25. JavaJoe89

    I absolutely love this double in head unit it works flawlessly in my Subaru Forester. I have the idata link maestro module with the wiring harness hooked up to it so I was able to retain my factory back up camera and steering wheel controls.

  26. 5TVs

    Does everything it is supposed to. My only complaint is the screen buttons are very small. They hooked it to my steering wheel controls and my backup camera which is helpful

  27. JonathanH

    Unit is a great replacement model that allows the use of apple carplay. Unit must be plugged in in order to operate, WiFi CarPlay is not available. But the unit all in all is with the value.

  28. WalterL

    Love this item had it for about three weeks. Everything works well.

  29. Rfell44

    The product is excellent. Exceeded my expectations. The Geek Squad was very professional and did a great Job. Very Cool.

  30. desarmador2020

    I just had this installed in my 2012 Honda Odyssey. It looks really nice and integrates navigation and reverse camera which I was doing with separate devices/screens. I purchased an open box unit so I didn’t pay full price, win/win!

  31. JohnB

    great love it really hope it best poineer 6-8 auto and apple.

  32. JosephbK

    A+ can’t say enough positive accolades about this deck. It has all the features you could possibly want.

  33. GaryD

    Great unit. I wanted something with Apple Car Play to link my phones Sirius and Spotify but also have capabilities to play CD’s. This fit the bill.

  34. ColinO

    Outstanding product that daily, exceeds my expectations

  35. tv4me

    This radio replaced my old one in are RV. This is just what was needed. Works great, sounds great.

  36. RadA

    I’ve had this radio for over a year and it has been wonderful the only meh thing is the display response but other than that no problem. I would highly recommend using a iDatalink to use the full extent of what it can handle and its easier to install than having to splice any wires

  37. Kiki

    I brought it and took it home to my boyfriend who was going to have someone who thought they know what they were doing when I should’ve just let the geek squad do it.but I did go back and got another one for his car

  38. LuisB

    Since install was nothing but problems. Draining my battery. Bad connections.

  39. AlfredoC

    Took a 2800 mile trip just after radio was installed and it worked great

  40. DFrye

    Absolutely love this stereo! It has a lot of features! Good price too

  41. Nathaniel

    Very easyly to customize this perfectly w/o any hard complications to have to learn.

  42. fast

    Easy to install with an external amplifier.
    Decent nice sound.

  43. RichardH

    Works b great and b does everything I wanted it to do. Great display easy to operate would recommend this to a friend 50 minimum words to give b a review is to many for me

  44. HeatherD

    Product was missing items. Spoke with customer service and was told missing parts could be picked up at no cost at the store. There is no local store so I drove two hours only to be told by the store that the do not carry spare parts. This will probably be my last purchase at Best Buy due to this issue

  45. Tootercomputer

    I bought this for my son. Given its price, it received a free installation. There was a glitch that was quickly resolved, and it is working well.

    My son loves it, and so do I. I am blown away at the sound quality (though now he needs new speakers to take advantage of this superior receiver!), the brightness of the display, and the richness of features. He still likes to use CDs, and we loaded one up and it was playing with just a few seconds, no long delays to load or anything.

    I wanted to get my son a good receiver, and this fit the bill. He did not want a large screen, too distracting, so this was just perfect, and the bright screen makes it easy to navigate. Also, it has “hard buttons” on the left side of the player, and these are easily reached by the driver and easy to remember.

    My only concern, and it has proven unfounded, is that this was a bit old, as it came out in 2019. But all of its features hold up quite well with more current receivers. It seems well built, a quality receiver.

    Just a cool gadget, what else can I say.

  46. TonyaB

    Exactly what I was looking for. A good Radio that incorporates Apple Play and a rear camera input. It has the added bonus of CD/DVD capacity, which is great for someone like me with a large CD collection.

  47. Hutch

    Pioneer makes a quality product. Easy to navigate and a good display.

  48. Unknown

    Awesome system! Planning on buying another for my other vehicle. Highly recommended!

  49. DavidG

    Totally satisfied with my unit. Has everything that I could possibly want. The only thing that I don’t like is the fact that it doesn’t have a built-in mic on the front of the interface like my previous unit. This one uses a wired mic that has to be pinned to the cars liner. It also doesn’t have a front USB port. It uses a USB connection in the back. It doesn’t have two though so when I use it, the port in my car no longer functions as a data receiving port. Only charges but it’s still a great unit. Highly recommend.

  50. ChrisP

    Stereo and the install are working great! Does everything we wanted it to do and brought a 2005 car tech up to date!
