PIONEERDMH-W4660NEX 6.8" Capacitive Touchscreen, Double Din – Wireless & Wired Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Amazon Alexa Built-in, Bluetooth, HD Radio, Backup Camera, FLAC, Hi-Volt RCA

This screen was easy to install—just a wire harness, and it worked great. It fit my truck well, even though it originally didn’t have a screen, so I had to make a few adjustments. Once installed, it was perfect.The Bluetooth connectivity is solid, automatically pairing with my phone every time I start the car. The EQ adjustments allow for good sound customization, and the screen layout is intuitive. I specifically bought this for wireless Apple CarPlay, and it works flawlessly. Maybe once in 100 times, it won’t connect right away, but that only happens when I’m running multiple errands with frequent car restarts.One minor issue is that when my car starts, it connects to my phone but doesn’t always open Apple CarPlay automatically. Instead, it sometimes displays a basic media screen with my phone’s music, showing skip, pause, album art, and song info. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I’d prefer if it defaulted to CarPlay instead.Overall, this is an excellent digital multimedia receiver with great wireless CarPlay functionality and an easy installation process. Highly recommend!

This Pioneer has been out for a few years, so I feel for the people that had any issues due to buggy firmware since its release. But I guess I got lucky buying this now in 2024.Had a model under this one, the Pioneer 2770NEX, and it was excellent as well. But this not only sounds better. But it’s loaded with way more features to customize your audio settings. Time alignment, crossover slopes, etc. Wireless CarPlay works flawlessly. And the 4V pre-outs for my 5 channel amp made a huge difference.If you’re looking at this in 2024, it’s absolutely worth it.For an all in one solution for steering wheel controls and back up camera retention, I highly suggest you get a harness from Spiral Audio.

This unit is half baked. The icons on the left for menu, mic, and volume don't work. Getting a software update to transfer is impossible using the directions. Android Auto keeps crashing. When it does not crash, it is very frustrating to use. The users manual is lacking. When playing in Bluetooth music you cannot fast forward or advance whereas previous ones would allow me to touch the timeline to put the focus on where I wanted itUSB instead of Wi-Fi connection doesn't work with Android autoBluetooth does not reliably play audio after connecting. Generally the solution is to turn off the car and turn it back on. I wish there was a power button on the stereo unit itself to reboot the stereo without having to reboot the car.When in Bluetooth, Guidance is not a separate volume control. There's only one volume control for Bluetooth. However that is not using Android Auto..With wireless disabled, connecting phone via USB cable, Android Auto stops functioning and indicates to get the time to match between the stereo and phone. The stereo does not allow me to manually change the time. And it will not sync the time with cell phone connected via USB.I clicked on the browser and it gave me a gray rectangular box across the screen. Turning off the car, even overnight, did not help. A day later, it came out of its coma somehow.These are just a few of the issues I’ve had.I called Pioneer support and they do not provide tech support on the phone. They said the only thing I can do is to uninstall the stereo and send it in to one of two service centers. My worst nightmare.I have 30 years of IT so I feel sorry for anyone who buys this flaming pile of crap and tries to get anything to work.

The media could not be loaded. I recently self-installed this Pioneer multimedia receiver on my 2017 Subaru WRX with the basic factory sound system. Despite it being a complicated installation, which took the better part of the day with all the harness wiring and installation, I was able to retain all my steering wheel controls and rearview camera with the addition of the IDatalink Maestro RR unit.My parts list included:1. Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX2. Metra AX-SUBUSB2 USB Adapter3. Scosche SU2031B Double Din Kit4. Metra 40-LX11 Antenna Adapter5. iDatalink Maestro RR Interface Module6. iDatalink HRN-RR-SU2 Interface Harness7. Posi-Twist ConnectorsJust the addition of the new receiver has significantly improved the sound quality despite no additional speakers/subwoofer. This is due to the added power to the speakers from the head unit as well as the improved equalizer by Pioneer. The Apple Wireless Carplay functionality is fantastic and makes me feel like I'm driving a brand new car! You won't miss the absence of a disk slot I'm sure!Although it would be nice to have a volume knob, adding one to the unit would significantly detract from the unit's aesthetic and sleek appearance. Thankfully the steering wheel controls work great. This is a fantastic upgrade to any car without Carplay!

Simple, unit is pricy but it does feature a full EQ with adjustability, and many more features packed in there. I will agree with most my WIRELESS CarPlay is glitchy and will sometimes drop, but I tend to use the usb for charging anyways. One star down for not being able to program CarPlay properly. Otherwise very densely packed with features.
