About the Pioneer AVIC-5100NEX
Ideal for iPhone® users
Your iPhone's your lifeline to the connected world, so it's important that you be able to use it safely while in the car. The Apple CarPlay™ technology found in Pioneer's AVIC-5100NEX DVD/navigation receiver lets you use most basic iPhone functions through the receiver's screen with your voice or fingertip. And that's not all — you also get door-to-door GPS directions, playback of a wide variety of media, and ear-friendly sound.
Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay compatibility allows a Lightning™-to-USB connection to provide access to select apps on newer iPhones. Once connected, the receiver shows large, finger-friendly icons for functions such as Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, Now Playing, and Podcasts. Some streaming apps — including Pandora® — work within the Apple CarPlay interface as well. Drivers can access these functions with a finger touch or through Siri® voice control. Learn more at www.apple.com/ios/carplay.
A beautiful 6.2" display gives you control
The view from your driver's seat will invariably be brightened when your eyes come across the AVIC-5100NEX's anti-glare 6.2" touchscreen. Pioneer's NEX interface gives you plenty of info at a glance and lets you choose musical sources with ease. Your smartphone's travel-friendly apps can also find a good home on the display when you're properly connected. You can communicate through this Pioneer without taking your eyes off the road. iPhone users also get Pioneer's AppRadio mode for in-dash command of several important apps, while Android owners can employ MirrorLink™ technology to navigate a car-friendly version of their phone's display right on the receiver's screen (optional interface cables required for smartphone connections).
AppRadioLIVE for convenient app use
Pioneer's innovative AppRadioLIVE streamlines your app info and functions into one easy-to-use interface that allows you to spend more time looking at the road and less at your receiver. You customize your display to show several sources of information simultaneously, so you can shift from one to another with a touch of your finger.
You'll enjoy quick access to your music, media, calendar, and other sources you subscribe to, just by downloading the AppRadioLIVE app and syncing your services. AppRadioLIVE works with your apps to provide visual map guidance and access to points of interest, as well as the ability to search for concerts, shows, and other local events of interest.
Note: A small number of apps within AppRadio Mode and AppRadioLIVE are currently not compatible with iOS 8 due to stability and display issues.
Worry less about getting lost
Taking a trip or running errands? The AVIC-5100NEX boasts door-to-door guidance across the entire U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. You can take advantage of its nearly 8 million points of interest when looking for a nearby restaurant, fuel station, ATM, hotel, or shopping center. Text-to-speech voice prompts deliver spoken street names at turns, and you'll get great visual cues from the receiver's lane guidance and speed limit warnings.
Stay in touch through Bluetooth®
Wireless Bluetooth connectivity lets you keep in contact with others from the road with hands-free calling. The included external microphone gives your conversations plenty of clarity when you're talking through your compatible phone. And the receiver will work with most phones for wireless streaming audio, thanks to its advanced Hands-Free Profile technology. You'll also get smartphone app control through your devices:
-
iPhone: With a separate cable, you'll get control of your Aha Radio app through the receiver's touchscreen when connected. App Mode also gives you limited control over other select apps on your iPhone. You can control your iPhone's Pandora app wirelessly with a Bluetooth connection, including station creation.
-
Android: You'll get control of your smartphone's Pandora (with station creation) and Aha Radio apps through Bluetooth, so no cable needed.
Audio/video options
Discs, drives, devices, or streaming: you don't have to worry about which way to play your media with the AVIC-5100NEX in your dash. The two rear USB inputs are perfect for your digital tunes, including FLAC lossless files.
You can check out video from DVDs or other sources on the 6.2" display when you're parked. You can also tap into video content on your iPod or smartphone with the help of the correct cable (not included). When you're on the road, you can play movies through a rear-seat monitor for your passengers, so they can stay entertained. Dual-zone capability lets you enjoy the radio or another audio source up front while your passengers watch their favorite movies in the back.
You can also connect up to two cameras, so you can see more of what's near your vehicle when getting in and out of tight spots. If you're looking to add subs and amps, you can take advantage of three sets of high-voltage preamp outputs.
Sounds like a winner
No matter what you're listening to, you can count on exceptional sound from the AVIC-5100NEX, with its 13-band graphic equalizer, plus built-in Auto EQ and Time Alignment for optimized listening. Use the high- and low-pass crossover's adjustable points and slopes to fine-tune the sound to your tastes, and engage the Advanced Sound Retriever to fill in the missing "gaps" in your compressed music files to restore them to CD-like clarity.
Ready for SiriusXM satellite radio
The AVIC-5100NEX features a connection for an optional satellite radio tuner, so you can enjoy SiriusXM's extensive programming with your subscription. You can listen to your chosen channels no matter where you roam coast to coast, and take advantage of special features such as alerts when your favorite songs or sports teams are on the air.
Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?

You'll see the adapters that work with your vehicle when you add this receiver to your cart.

Dual AV Inputs: The Pioneer AVIC-5100NEX has dual AV inputs to connect two external audio/video sources. The head unit has a rear-panel 3.5mm minijack AV input for connecting a portable audio/video device. There is also a rear-panel composite video/stereo RCA AV input for connecting a video component such as a mobile TV tuner or game console.
AV Output (w/ Dual Zone): The unit features a composite video jack and 3.5mm audio jack to output A/V signals to an optional monitor and headphone system. You can simultaneously enjoy the same or different sources in the front and rear of your vehicle. The unit's A/V output can be set to Mirror, Disc, AV-IN, USB, iPod, or Off. The Mirror mode simply outputs the same audio/video signal (not including RGB) which is playing on the head unit's touchscreen monitor to your connected rear monitor/headphone system.
Rear-View Camera Input: The AVIC-5100NEX is equipped with a composite video rear-view camera input for the addition of an optional backup camera (130NDBC6, sold separately). When the vehicle's transmission is put in reverse, the screen automatically switches to the rear view camera (violet/white wire of the harness must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit for automatic video switching). Automatic video switching takes approximately 0.75 seconds. Additional rear-view camera features include:
- Parking Assist Guidelines: The unit also provides four on-screen guidelines to assist you when backing up and parking your vehicle.
- Trailer Towing: You can even select for the rear-view camera to stay on at all times, so you can keep an eye on the trailer you are towing.
- Second Camera: In addition, you can turn the unit's AV input into a second camera input for adding a front camera (sold separately).
OEM Integration (via Firmware Update): The Pioneer in-dash receiver is now compatible with the iDatalink Maestro RR interface module. When the Pioneer receiver is installed into a compatible GM, Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, or VW vehicle using the iDatalink Maestro RR (794ADSMRR, sold separately) you'll get to keep select factory features that are normally lost when replacing the factory stereo with an aftermarket head unit. Retained factory features include the Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Sync system, GM's OnStar system, as well as Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep's U-Connect system. Other factory retained features include steering wheel controls, Aux inputs/USB ports, Bluetooth, voice command, satellite radio, and secondary display support. Plus, you get touchscreen control over many of these key factory audio features through the Pioneer navigation receiver. Check here for your vehicle's specific compatibility.

Great receiver, everything works as described. Very user friendly, good navi, Bluetooth, hands free, etc. Most important, this deck replaced a Kenwood unit that was new but the display would wash out during the day let alone direct sunlight. The Pioneer's display is very good in all light levels.
