This is literally the first video I watched which actually shows how the android auto works. Every other video I've watched...which is over 20 by now, only mentions that the head unit has both apple CarPlay and android auto capabilities, but NEVER shows the android side of things. Thank you!
OK so this is the one. BUT can I fob off the "warning if you look at the floor you may crash!" screen every start up? If that's an enforced thing i'm not buying it - its an aftermarket unit - we know....
Are the 2v pre outs on this good enough for a car with an external amp and sub woofer, or would you be likely to spring for something with a higher voltage?
Thanks for the review. If this is a good entry level unit can you recommend a good mid range unit please? Not so fussed about it having wireless car play but it is a nice to have. Thanks
The harness that comes with this unit, do I need to connect the car speed signal wire in order to use car play or other features? It’s the pink wire, can I blank it off?

Hiya I'm currently abit confused.. do we have to use our phones to use TH-cam and Maps or is that installed on the system and ready to use by tapping it on the screen.. please clarify as i was gonna buy one
It doesn't run apps directly. Android Auto and Apple Carplay both allow you to use a limited set of apps from the phone on the head unit. So it always uses your phone to run the apps.
Hi, I’m having to click the phone button on the stereo screen every time I get in the van to reconnect to my phone. Should it not just remember my phone when I start the ignition? Pete
Is it possible to connect Android auto wirelessly AND have your 'phone' connected? If I connect to Android auto my phone and Bluetooth symbol greys out like yours? Is there a way round this? maybe via wifi or something? Thanks
Hello, I am getting ready to buy this pioneer and I have a fundamental question whether it will fit the alfa 159? The horns for the radio in Alfa are with an arc and here I see full angles.
Hello, thank you for the upload!! Will the reverse camera automatically pop up when the car is set to reverse? My Suzuki Swift and the standard multimediasystem pops the camera up when it’s set to reverse, so I hope this one will too?
hey! will it work on my toyota rav4 2003? i am afraid that it will suck out all the juice from the battery's car. does it needs a lot of energy to work?
Hi I just bought this stereo,but when it's connect to my one plus 7 pro to audio auto it will lose contact in a matter of minutes,there is a solution about it pls? Thank u
Hello @Cas tv, I bought this unit, because it has GPS Receiver, my car has double shielded windows, and GPS in phone just doesn’t work. When I connected gps antenna to this Pioneer, it shows a lot of satellites and good signal, but it cannot use this signal in apple carplay/maps etc. It keeps pushing phone internal gps which hasn’t got signal, how this should work?? For example apple maps via carplay and internal unit gps with antenna signal.
@@mertcapkin7263 because i owned both, and the da250dab is x10 better than the 360, 360 has a ui that looks beta, slow and laggy, many audio options aren't available, no rgb colour changing, no video output setup.. no spotify app (only available with Android auto)...2v rca pre (sphda250 has 4v) all these i mentioned were available on the 250. only thing 250 doesn't have is wireless car android/Apple.
I have this unit and it will only allow me to use android auto with the USB connected. Have done exactly what you did in the video but cannot get android auto to work wirelessly. Any ideas?

hi , which android phone is compatible with this unit ? I have the A52 and is not supported ? ..... Android auto works but that's about it ! no screen mirror ... and what does the gps antenna do as I don't think it has its on maps ? thank you
@@katarzynakaminska7418 Okay, but the inputs from my steering wheel (Corsa D), is giving other/wrong inputs to my radio. Ex. "Next station/song" on the steering wheel gives me volume down on this radio. Usually Pioneer has a setting for calibrating steering wheel controls. What adapter do you use?
Hey, does anyone know how to program steering wheel controls for this radio? No option in the menu, so I keep getting the wrong input to the radio from my SW buttons.
@@kwalnaaimaar5050 I do have one. I have gotten it to work by connecting the cables in another order. Pioneer told me that some models are sensitive in such a way that it matters.
I bought this unit and it is coplete rubbish don't buy it. Some of the problems I have with it. 1. Navigation voice in android auto glitches, it doesn't say complete massages. It's really annoying, and I have no idea how to fix it. Zero help from pioneer customer support.... 2. It is slower than my PC from 2004... 3. Only 5 colors for the buttons no chanse to match the car interior lights 4. Cheeply made in every single way even the wires are rubbish 5. It drains battery like crazy 6. The microphone is awful 7. No menu for dimming the display by preset timer...we drive all day with headlighs, so this option doesn't work ... 8. It is ridiculously expensive for what it is My advice DON'T BUY IT!
just got this unit.... wow.. how embaracing this is... coming from the SPH-DA250DAB is a big Big step back, UI looks like a beta sw.. very few audio settings, no spotify app other than the Android auto one, no rgb color selection, no reverse cam video settings (no PAL/ntsc selection).. 2v rca output... jeez.. slow and lagghy UI.. Total mess. Im returning it superquick.
@@SIG_333 damn sad to hear, i was looking at the 360 because it had wireless CarPlay instead of wired. But if it is slower than the 250 then idk anymore. I’ve heard there is an adapter that lets you do carplay wirelessly, I think I’ll get that with the 250 then.

Android users usually can’t afford these units
Literally perfect in terms of how this review was done. Thank you

Does this allow wireless mirroring with an iphone as u showed with the android phone with videos etc?
Between this and the Kenwood DMX5020DABS, which would you go for?
I really don't like the on-screen volume control. Do you know whether you can add an after market volume control knob?
Good man...great vid...in-depth and exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the video. Can one change the splash screen or startup screen to a different image?
Please can I ask does it come with Apple CarPlay installed on the STERIO not via a lead
Are the 2v pre outs on this good enough for a car with an external amp and sub woofer, or would you be likely to spring for something with a higher voltage?
Hi, thanks for the video, do the revering camera and dab antennas need to be purchased separately, if so what do you recommend? Thanks
Yes both of these are bought separately. The echomaster rear camera and autoleads digital aerial were my choice.
Pioneer SPH-DA360DAB vs Kenwood DMX7722DABS whict is better?
Got this radio a few days ago.. how the hell do I adjust the time? Besides of that, i'm pretty happy with it
Have you checked the manual? Must be in there somewhere i would assume
I have the same issue? The time is blank. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
@@rickyobradovic yep, still the same on mine too. And I can't find anything in the owners manual..
It's literally the first time I've ever seen something like this.

This may seem like a stupid question, with the appropriate harness, will this work with the steering wheel controls on my Toyota GT86?
Yes but you need a steering wheel control adapter specific for your car. In general these can be configured for the head unit brand.
How doe's the mirroring work, doe's it need a genuine cable in order to work??

What is the difference to this SPH-DA77DAB? Same price in my country 350 euro
HI! Every now and then I have to reset the stereo because the Android music sounds stutters, do you know why? A thousand thanks
What is the average sort of price for fitting please? Would be for a Mk2 Audi TT.

It seems like it's for the initial setup.
you can use the cable on setup initially or go through the wireless settings, once setup you don't need the cable for connectivity

Yep nothing has changed for ages.
To this day, there are still no new firmwares......
Why is the UI still so daaaamn slow and ugly.
