Customer Ratings & Reviews

Installation was included in the purchase, but I didn't want to wait for the installation date, so I installed it myself. It was my first time installing something like this, but it was overall pretty simple once I learned the basics. The system is awesome. The screen is ok, and it gets hard to see sometimes if the sun is shining directly on it, but that's the only time I have a hard time seeing it. The audio quality is great, and I love using Android Auto. The screen is responsive and big enough to see the while driving. Very happy with this purchase.

This is a pretty amazing upgrade which we purchased for our sons car as a Christmas gift. He is driving a hand-me down 2009 Sonata, and being a teenager licensed for only a year, his music is of utmost importance to him. We were able to order this for him online, on sale, with the installation. The manner in which Best Buy guided me through the purchase, made sure I had the correct harness and in-dash mount kit was pretty simple and easy to navigate. A great gift, and easy to complete without much experience in putting car stereos in. While his existing radio was older, it was the upgrade Infinity stereo unit, with the inline amp and great speakers. The audio tech at Best Buy walked me through that prior to the install, and had me feeling pretty good that the existing speakers and amp were going to provide a great audio experience that the new head unit would deliver. Within an hour it was installed, and he took the time to give a great demo of the unit, walking through all of the awesome features- most important of which for us was the Apple Play. My sone has an iPhone, and the connectivity of the phone to the unit was like making the stereo an extension of the phone. It was pretty amazing, and with the voice activation microphone (also installed with the unit), it was about as hands-free of a driving audio experience as you can ask for- important to us with a new driver on the road. With the apple play, it ported the Apple navigation to the head unit, and my son had a nav system now, all touch screen on the unit so he isn't fumbling with a phone. While my son (seventeen this year) will never likely understand or use the AM/FM aspects of the unit, the music capabilities for him through iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and Sirius are an enormous catalogue of listening opportunities, and the sound absolutely kills. Using only about half volume proved to be a bit much, but with some awesome clarity, little distortion, and amazing mids/highs and bass. Solid unit for the cost, with the Pioneer name behind it. At the price point, it is a pretty amazing buy, and I'm already trying to talk my wife into getting me one for my aging truck, it would be a huge upgrade to the stock unit inside now. Would recommend!

My 2009 needed to update my new used old car. Car runs great just needed it to be more modern. Stereo sound just as good if not better than the stock radio, never had complaints about the sound, i just wanted modern features without the clutter of wires from external Gps or bluetooth. Easy to install if you get the right stuff & do some research. U will need to buy a double din dash for your specific car, wire harness for ur make of car (get a preassmble one where u just have to crimp, & possible some other stuff depending on what ur current car has and whether it can just be plugged in or need an adaption to work. Touch screen works well, i believe its resistive; i dont have to pound the screen and its accurate i feel. Android auto seems to work ok, but you may have to do extra wiring because the unit needs to be connected to parking brake wire otherwise some features wont work. BT connects easily. Mic pics up voic well on calls im told. Con, Android Auto takes extra work, Apple carplay you don't connect parking brake juat plug iphone to usb. Con is screen could have been hd for price and no HD Radio. Con XM Sirius ready, but not built in will need to purchase that seperate or i guess stream from phone to stereo to save bucks.

I have a 2005 Toyota Matrix and I love my car but did not like being without Bluetooth for my phone and my Apple Music play. I also purchased a backup camera and I feel like I’m driving a brand new car. It works flawlessly and sounds great with my original 6 speakers.

I have had this unit in my truck for over a year now. Installed myself. I do have some previous experience but I think a person that takes their time could do the same. Set up took some time and ended up getting advice. There are a lot of customizations available. The only frustrating part was switching it to where it stays bright all the time. Otherwise if you turn on your lights in the daytime the screen dims. Besides that which I imagine a tech could do in 30 seconds I am very pleased. Drives my component system with a thump even without an amp. (I am wiring a separate usb still in this picture)

I really wanted a unit which had apple car play, Bluetooth and actual buttons which weren’t part of the touch screen. This one checked every box and looks great. I really like the fact I can change the color of the buttons to match the interior lighting. Geek Squad had the install done in no time at all. 100% would recommend letting them do the install to avoid any unnecessary headaches. This unit dramatically improved the sound quality of my car audio even though I maintained the same speakers. (2006 Sierra factory Bose)

Biught this radio along with all wiring needed to retain factory controls in my 2015 Tacoma. Overall it does it’s job. CarPlay is standard quality. Not a great radio but for the price and included installation it’s a good deal. Radio display is lackluster but does its job. I installed Maestro components with the stereo and those added features work great.

This unit is everything I wanted and more. I couldn't say no with the incredible price. Super responsive touch screen. Loads of settings/options. The quality is excellent. I definitely recommend.

Excellent Service and Product!! Install was a breeze with Manny!! Apple Car play is great also!! I always go with Pioneer products. From the 8 Track Super Tuner to the Present 1500NEX.

This receiver, transform by car into the CarPlay era. Those all it says it will.. like past reviewers have said very nice very modern. I got an extra gadget so that I could use carplay without having to hook it to a wire. Just be aware!!! The wire harness required for install plus your new car interface… antenna..extc…will cost more than the unit itself. Make sure to buy on sale.

Got this Pioneer DMH-1500NEX to replace stock radio in 2017 Subaru Outback. Had to buy an installation kit to make it compatible as it required an idatalink module and harness to work in my vehicle. The sound is great, and it is nice to have Apple Car Play in my car now. The screen is a good size, and it does everything my stock radio did and more. It is a little slow loading when starting the vehicle, and the back up camera view is not as bright as the stock radio. With that being said, I still would rather have this unit with Apple Car Play.

Great for the price. Don't really have anything to compare to, this is my first touch screen, but imho it's awesome. Kind of wish I would've splurged the extra $50 for the 2660 with hd, but this one has most of the bells and whistles at a "budget" price. The only thing that is an annoyance is you have to plug in your phone for the car play and it's limited apps. All in all I would recommend.

This is a GREAT head unit! Very affordable and the android auto function is crazy nice. What more could you expect? An affordable quality system back by the Pioneer name. BEST BUY OFFERS FREE INSTALLATION----GUESS WHAT??? IT IS FREE! NO TRICKS BEST BUY is a great company and really honored the FREE INSTALLATION CLAIM! The geek squad really did a nice job. DEVIN was my tech and he was so professional! Thanks Best Buy and Devin with the geek squad. Kennesaw Ga location. I WILL BE BACK !!

So far, so good! I’ve always had good experiences with Pioneer decks for the last 30 years. Fair price and free installation by Best Buy. Added steering wheel harness and factory USB connector and now my car feels new to me. Looks like original equipment in my 2015 Forester. CarPlay works awesome and honestly that’s all I ever use anymore. Speakers seem to have a little more punch to them. Wireless CarPlay and a resistive screen would be nice but were unnecessary for me and didn’t warrant the price difference.

Great product. Was looking for something to replace my 2007 Civic after market touch screen I had installed when I bought it 13 years ago. I found this as an for $190.99 and when I got to the store it was a brand new device that was opened and closed when the previous customer decided he didnt want it. Never taken out of the box. Great device. Has everything needed. Android Auto and Car Play need a cord to work, but that is no issue. Chad in Moore, OK did my install. Incredible technician, knows what he is doing.

I have a 2004 savana and I am really glad that i purchased my pioneer dmh-1500nex is so easy to use and you can change the screen and face color to match your dash if you do choose to lol when you plug up your phone into the USB port it automatically connects to GPS it was a great buy for me I would recommend this radio

Had installed in my 16 year old daughter’s 2011 F150 and works great. Really updated the truck with Apple car play for easy streaming of favorite music, maps and SIRI. Especially like the added backup camera since truck did not have one from factory.

Pioneer Christmas gift for my wife. She is delighted to have have this nice upgrade to a cream puff Exployer, her baby!

It’s amazing he loves it the techs were great and very understanding couldn’t have surprise my bf any other better way and Best Buy and Best Buy techs made the process great ☺️

Well worth the price!! Has some really good features. Android Auto works very well with this stereo. Able to use a thumb drive with ease. Nice large screen for veiwing! Paired with a backup camera and works great.
