Pioneer DMH-1600NEX 6.8" Double-Din Digital Multimedia Receiver - Built in Bluetooth, Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Touchscreen, Rear Camera Input

Great radio! Connects instantly to Apple play once connected via USB. Microphone works great and others can hear me loud and clear. Very helpful radio and a very nice display! The touch screen is very responsive and buttons are easy to press. Excellent value for the money. Tuning ability is great too!

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!

Android auto will not connect i have the usb connected from the phone to the stereo, it will charge the phone but the android auto icon won't light up and if I press it it just says connect to usb, which I already am. I paid extra to make sure I got a reputable brand and I'm fairly disappointed right now. UPDATE: changed to 5 stars. did some googling and found out i needed a cord that stated specifically that it was for data transfer. Got one for 13 bucks and everything works perfectly. This pushes really good sound to my speakers and has tons of customization on the equalizer.

I was very excited to finally get this head unit and put it in my 2014 Honda Civic. Having android auto had been a goal for my car got a while. This is a nice looking radio and after installation I found that it actually puts out a decent amount if power. I never confirmed any numbers, but I noticed my stock speakers seem to be performing better than before, which is great. It has lots of integration options for gauges, cameras, sensors, you can see check engine light codes, etc. Internet connectivity via your phone. Notifications are supported from certain apps. I installed it paired with the iDatalink Maestro RR and the rHO2 wiring harness. Keep in mind, the wiring harness shows conflicting year models on the box, but the iDatalink website shows it is compatible with a wider year range. The box showed it wouldn't work with my car, but the website said it would and it did. Installation was intimidating at first, but in the end, pretty easy. Wiring diagrams are available on the idatalink website and now I have steering wheel control for audio. I didn't wire my backup camera, but will likely do that later on. The downsides I've experienced with it have been frustrating, but I'm working through them. Immediately after install, I tested the radio with no issues. On first start up after buttoning everything up, my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. After some minor panic, I saw all the lights were related to various sensors and inputs that run through the radio. After a few times turning the car off and on, they cleared on their own. To be fair, my battery was disconnected for 3 days prior which may have been a factor. However, my TPMS system isn't working. I'm unable to calibrate it and can't get a readout on tire pressure. This seems like a common issue people have had and I'm still troubleshooting it. Another issue is firmware updates. To update firmware, you have to connect the radio to your phone via wifi Hotspot, and download the update via the CarAVAssist app. The app has a poorly built user interface and it took me a very long time to get the radio to connect my phone (S23 Ultra). Finally after restarting my phone and disabling Android auto temporarily, I was able to get it to connect. Then you have to go into the firmware update menu in order for the radio to receive the update. This took me forever to get sorted, but finally did. The user interface is alright. I mostly keep it on the Android auto screen and haven't used a lot of the other features yet. I've found that the touch screen is responsive, but not smooth when moving between screens. Considering it's a touch screen, wifi-enabled, smart device bought new in 2024, I expected smoother swiping like my phone, but I'm not a software engineer, so what do I know. One last thing, this morning on my drive to work, the head unit disconnected from my phone and I lost Android auto. I had to restart my phone and manually connect it from my phone. I just updated the firmware last night. Could be a fluke, but we'll see. The love: -Audio Quality Improved -Android Auto -Finally have a touch Screen infotainment system -Looks great -lots of integration options The Hate: -User interface could use improvement -Phone connectivity for firmware updates is a huge headache -Compatability issues with car features like TPMS Update 11/2024: So I've had this for a little while now and I'm still overall satisfied with it. I've figured out that the dash lights coming on were a result of the battery being disconnected for so long while I did the install. It's happened again when doing other car work with the battery unhooked. Nothing to be worried about. I've also had consistent issues with android auto disconnecting. At first I thought I was random, but actually I'm 100% sure it's some sort of signal interference. It always happens at the same locations on the highway and it's usually near the express lane scanners that scan your FastTrack pass. I've gotten used to it, but still hate that it does it. Never had that issue when I used plain old Bluetooth on the old radio. The TPMS still doesn't give me a current psi reading for some reason. I haven't really tried to troubleshoot. But I know the system still works because I got a low pressure alert the other day and manually checked and saw the air was low on a couple tires. I refilled them and did the recalibration. It ran without error and it cleared the alert. Update 12/2025: I'm still enjoying this radio. I've actually upped the rating to 4 stars. The only issues I've had with it are actually related to Android Auto and the app, but not the radioitself. I never wired the backup camera to it because I'm pretty sure I'd have to cut and splice original wiring in my car and I don't want to do that. I will say the pioneer app that you need in order to update firmware and such is pretty awful. I've recently been having more frequent issues with my phone and Android Auto completely disconnecting and failing to reconnect unless I restart my phone. I've been trying to check for a firmware update to see if that would help, but the pioneer app crashes on launch every time I open it. Again not a reflection of the head unit, but on pioneer and their app, but this does affect your ability to keep the unit up to date. I never thought of it before, but I'm going to try using a wired connection for a while and see if that helps any. I typically connect it via Bluetooth which I greatly prefer, hence buying a Bluetooth capable unit lol. It's worth noting, Android Auto disconnecting is a known and ongoing issue people have had with various radios and not likely related to this unit. Also one last thing to note, I believe the TPMS issue I was noting previously is just related to my cars capabilities. I don't think my TPMS transmit actual readable data, just a signal to the car that trigger a light if the PSI gets too low. I've never had a numerical read out in my car, so that's likely just not a feature. Of your car has that, it'll probably work.

Nice radio in many ways. But one of my requirements was to be able to use this with steering wheel controls. This unit is advertised as being compatible with steering wheel controls, and this is also printed clearly on the box it came in. Unfortunately, there is no mention of how to enable this feature in the directions. Nor is there any additional information on the Pioneer website. I called the number for technical support, but they refused to offer any information. They stated that they could only help professional installers. I called several times, pointing out that the unit is advertised to work with steering wheel controls, and it is sold directly to consumers, as opposed to only being available to installers, but Pioneer refused to help. I asked if there was any technical documentation or noted they could send me and I would figure it out on my own, they refused. I understand that it would have been likely that I needed to buy an adapter or additional interface, but again they would give me no information. I thought Pioneer was a good company, but obviously this was incorrect. I would strongly advise buying another brand that is transparent in their advertising and offers technical support to customers. The game of “our product has this feature!” And then “We can’t tell you how to enable that feature, it’s a secret” is not okay.

Upgraded from an old Sony and 10/10 recommend!! Wonderful touch screen and picture quality is the best i’ve ever had. Easy install. Bluetooth carplay is amazing and quick to connect! Fits perfectly in my Jeep!

Best value for the price. Works very well

Love this stereo

The head unit is a great addition and refresh to my 2006 GMC Duramax. Replaced an older 7 year old Kenwood unit so I already had an PAC RP5-GM11 adapter to connect to the stock Bose system, and this Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX sounds way better, all else the same. The mic with the Kenwood sucked and callers would complain, but the Pioneer mic in the same spot works great, including with Siri. Some advice: Update the firmware right away when you figure out the system and the Pioneer CarAVAssist app which takes some time and patience and clicking. It took me a few tries for figuring out the firmware update through the app over bluetooth and the phone as a wifi hotspot at the same time, but then it worked after the third attempt. After it's all set up and figured out, its straightforward. I really like the Apple Car Play now added to the truck, it connects to my iphone immediately 99.9% of the time. The 0.1% is fixed after I restart my phone. Switching from Apple Car Play to the head unit setup to adjust the equalizer for instance is a bit laggy at first when it loads and then speeds up. I still highly recommend it.
