I love it for the price awesome. It is easy to operate
ThomasD –
Loved my purchase, I use the touchscreen features a lot and is way better than the fm/am radio that has no touchscreen
Happycoustmer –
Nice stereo only one I could find with a CD player
JpzthePassenger –
Excellent product and price! Looks great and has awesome features built in.
user668465 –
Awesome product for the price, I put this in my 98 Volvo S70 and it really brought a modern touch to the car. Having blutooth in a classic is awesome
PatriciaS –
I love this car stero. It’s very computer friendly. It brighten up the car and the audio is vicious. The only negative is the beeping for the signals and opening the car door is loud.
GilbertM –
Can’t go wrong with a pioneer best radio for the money
MarieK –
Love this radio! I didn’t want one that mirrored my phone. So this was actually perfect for me. It connects my phone through blue tooth and i get to play my amazon music as well as listen to radio. My satellite could be hooked back up but i didn’t want it too. And it plays dvd’s and cd’s wich i think is awsome. I am still figuring it out. But i love it
James –
Best upgrade I’ve done. Airplay works great. No cords needed. Highly recommend.
PatH –
I am please with the pioneer black blue tooth digital media receiver. I find the media receiver is easy to operate. Best Buy was very helpful in explaining how to operate the media receiver.

Purchased this unit about a month ago as an open box. Was in like new condition but missing remote. Fine, i never use them anyway. Installed myself and set up was really easy. Lot of customizations available for backgrounds, illumination, sound and Home Screen. Lot of newer Pioneer units don’t have these features and are kind of boring. Backup camera works great. Sound is amazing. Plays dvds and cds. Playing dvds is a pain because you have to hook up a eire to your parking break. Waste of time because you’re not going to be watching dvds mutch in your car. Overall i was satisfied with my purchase but ended up returning it due to no Carplay and missing the remote because it should of been included.

JasonR –
This radio is great sounding and very easy to use. It has a backup camera capability, blue tooth, apple play, and GPS ready.
Great purchase
SamuelP –
Radio still has POOR am fm reception even after the amplified antenna
Zoddan269 –
First it’s a good stereo by Pioneer, great adjustable options. The software has fallen due to 3rd party apps disappearing from the Pioneer line. Waze is no longer available (per. Waze,) no Androidauto, or carplay. I find that I wish i had kept my older model. Being able to have options for a car stereo is why I use Pioneer products. I will keep this unit but I’m afraid it will be my last
WilliamS –
Very easy to figure out works great would buy again!
bobup –
Great stereo. Plays movies too. Got the backup camera installed too. Makes hooking up my boat easy peazy.
user546858 –
Great product.I been riding blasting this radio and it was a great price.
LafenusJ –
I don’t like the extra security on the dvd player because my car has an issue with the parking brake and it made it impossible to be able to watch movies on it without me having to buy a on/off toggle switch from Amazon. I got it to work but what a pain
MichaelS –
I absolutely love the capabilities of this head unit. Cd, dvd, radio, bluetooth, microphone, usb and even a remote control. I coupled it with Pioneers backup camera and I have no complaints.
RonaldH –
Great fit, excellent sound quality. I have many cds do love that it has a cd player built in. Not many do anymore.
David –

RaulG –
Upgraded car receiver to this. Love how it automatically finds the strongest stations to preset. Added a back up camera and it is crystal clear. Great for Bluetooth. Best buy did install.

DavidB –
Good service installed properly I would recommend it to anyone
Rico –
this particular radio was a nightmare for the BB technician to install, no back up camera connection and the phone connection is garbage! Someone made a big, big mistake saying this radio fit my car! The BB
technician did his best with what he had!
FranciscoG –
Looks and sounds excellent it has alot of features i would definitely recommend
bigweeY28 –
not apple car play ready
sucks as far as compatibility goes
you have to use clunky third party apps and software to do anything
sucks not worth it
BrianW –

As advertised. Great deal for the money. Should have bought it long time ago
GregoryO –
Best buy refused to cancel order and would only accept a return if $50 was paid to join Total Rewards program. 0 stars for fraud.
FrankHumphries –

Nicetv –
I upgraded my old car stereo and this is very nice !
user259373 –
Good price as described for open box discounted item.
TimothyS –
Great product! Pioneer has always been top notch in electronics technology for home and automotive. This multimedia unit does more than i can grasp compression of to operate some functions but that does not affect the easy operation of the functions i do use. And great price for its amount of technology.

Pioneer – 6.8″ Bluetooth® Digital Media (DM) Receiver is impressive. It does everything.
MichaelH –
The features are easy to navigate and respond quickly. The
microphone has excellent audio qualities with its noise cancelling feature.
Pattidisappointed –
I bought this car stereo in August of 2023. In September this car stereo started draining my battery. I went back to Best Buy installation team and they gave me an appointment for January 1 2024. I made the appointment however nothing was done to retifiy the situation. I have to turn the car radio off before I get out of the car so it doesn’t drain my battery. They said this car radio was compatible with my 2013 Chevy Impala however it drains my battery. I left my original car stereo with this installation team but I wish I had taken it back.
JessicaR –
Nice addition to my truck. My original went out so this was a nice replacement.
