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.

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!

The glass screen really makes the head unit pop. The colors are rich and it's so easy to see in the sun. It's tiny and leaves a lot of space behind it for wires and such. The built in Alexa seems kind of crippled as it won't let me use the drop in feature (yet). The audio quality is great - love Pioneers quality. BUT The downside I almost dinged a star off the rating is the miserable volume and capacitive buttons. What idiot decided to get rid of good physical buttons is beyond me. Thankfully my steering wheel controls let me have my physical button without delay - but there seems to be a small delay on the screen's buttons and it was so frustrating when cranking up my subs and not having good control to quickly turn up and down the volume. The iOS app to design your screen layout and such is really cool and firmware update was easy. The instructions are subpar on the app, but I figured it out without reading a manual so, I suppose that's intuitive enough. The customization of this head unit is really wonderful. I typically only use carplay for everything - but the layout options with using my phone's hotspot for weather, sports, alexa, etc. makes it nice to have options instead of just carplay.

Works great! Works with Alexa and CarPlay. Easy to use and sounds fantastic. Doesn’t play CD’s which was fine for me since I use my phone for music etc. It also doesn’t have a volume knob and I wish it did. Using the touchscreen volume buttons can be a real pain luckily for me I use my steering wheel volume controls but you do need to buy an idatalink maestro or something equivalent for that to work. Other than that I would definitely recommend this pioneer car stereo to anyone. It has many features and options!
