I bought this for my Ram and I am very happy with it. My main thing is to be able to interface with my phone and USB and this does a great job. Sound is great and mine keeps time (not sure why yours doesn't) and I think the brightness is great (easy to see even when my phone is struggling on those bright days).
I’ve gotten used to it and I’m satisfied with the features , although it’s not top of the line so I still think people should make their own informed decision.
Thanks for the review. I just bought one, havent even opened the box. I think I'll return it and get a non touchscreen unit. Looks like so much hassle to use.
The microphone should have been installed on top of the steering wheel. (On the fixed mount) the wire should be run behind the dash into the port. The Aux port on the stereo, is to connect the existing auxiliary in your vehicle. There is likely several other systems services that are not connected correctly.
As long as it works , I don’t care . I’ve gotten used to this stereo. I don’t use the WebLink app at all, but the music , phone , and Bluetooth work fine.
@blueskiesandgreenpasturesp3848 yes went to the AT&T store bought the most expensive one plugged it in and all it does is the screen clicks on and off on and off and it says the USB cord is not hooked up right
Very concise review thank you! Dumb question, but you are able to listen to music through your phone using the USB correct? And is there a feature that let's you change the color of the button displays on the left?
Did you install reverse camera on this? I did mine and I am looking for the camera settings to turn on the camera assist unfortunately there is nothing showing.
My two cents.... I was expecting a big difference from my factory unit. But the previous owner had put in very good aftermarket speakers. So, I didn't really notice much difference. Therefore I installed an amp. And that made a huge difference.
@@fcon2002 thank you so much....my girlfriend's Highlander already has JBL's so I figure I could run into this same result. I'd love to know the make/model of the amp you bought.
@Rich Combs About one year after initially putting in the Pioneer amp, I put in a small amplified subwoofer. This model was a Rockville SS8P 8 in speaker. I did this because I wanted a bit more base. I am glad I did it because it was only $99. The sound is noticeable, but don't expect a huge rattling noise from it. I only add this additional information about the subwoofer because I wish I had done it all at the same time it would have saved me a lot of work on the install. I used a splitter distribution block to split power cable to provide Power for both.
a basic model should be easier to learn how to on. I havent received mine yet. Ive installed many car recievers i may make a basic install video on how easy it is to do idk how it doesn't hold time your presets all should have to be all reset everytime its shut off. Thats a power(yellow)accessory(red) wire these power unit an constantly holds the feeds power when key is off for memory😮 the wiring harness plugs into factory and you connect color to color not hard. Theses so much more easy set up functions on this unit nothing is hard to do if you know basic radio functions
Which I don’t , lol . My husband installed it and he didn’t connect it to battery , so it loses stations . I’ve gotten used to the stereo and it works great for listening to music and talking on the phone, though I wish the microphone would clip on. It’s mostly the apps and navigation that suck. Looking forward to your review.

It's not bad if you aren't looking for navigation or other apps. The stereo itself is fine. Works with Bluetooth and regular radio.
Stereo has a yellow wire at the back. This yellow wire is supposed to be hooked up to constant power so that the clock continues keeping time.
Thanks. You’re correct. He fixed it after I posted this.

My Samsung Galaxy A13 will not connect to the web link I connect a USB cord to it but it says it's not capable USB cord
@@happymood888 did you try a different usb cable?
@blueskiesandgreenpasturesp3848 yes went to the AT&T store bought the most expensive one plugged it in and all it does is the screen clicks on and off on and off and it says the USB cord is not hooked up right
@ sorry to hear that . Can you connect via Bluetooth?
I believe this double din pioneer Bluetooth features a rear backup camera system? If so what kind of backup camera will be the right fitment?
Any camera will work but you’ll have to wire it to the stereo. It’s not wireless .

You can connect your phone with Bluetooth or USB. No, I don’t think you can change the display. Thanks for the comment.
Did you install reverse camera on this? I did mine and I am looking for the camera settings to turn on the camera assist unfortunately there is nothing showing.
No I didn’t , sorry.
Does it has parking assistance for this unit??
Can you display your maps from iPhone on the screen?
Nope. Unless u screen cast it. I would buy another display that has android auto and car play
does this stereo has a micro usb slot?
No, only regular USB
@@blueskiesandgreenpasturesp3848
thks
Can this work with a 128gb flash drive?
I have not tried using a flash drive.
How is the music sound quality?
I think it would depend on your speakers , but it’s as good as my previous Pioneer stereo .

@@richcombs4805 I purchased a Pioneer GM-D8704 from Amazon for $174.00. It seemed to offer the best quality and features for the price.

How is the bluetooth connection? Strong , shaky ? Good?
I haven’t had any trouble connecting . Thx
I've had this radio for a year now. The Bluetooth is really reliable.
