An ever-expanding pool of apps

AppRadio works with many popular music apps, like AUPEO! Personal Radio, Pandora® Internet radio, DashCommand, Rdio, and Pioneer's MIXTRAX. And over time, you can bet that more and more apps will be available to use with the sleek app interface. Pioneer includes a GPS antenna, so you can use the MotionX GPS Drive™ and INRIX® traffic apps to add navigation to this receiver's arsenal of features.

Talk hands-free and enjoy Pioneer sound quality

Built-in Bluetooth® adds to the versatility of this cool receiver — pair your phone and you'll be able to talk hands-free, and have access to your phone book from the touchscreen, too. And this full-featured receiver includes Pioneer's powerful MOSFET built-in amp, a 3-band equalizer, AM/FM tuner, and a set of preamp outputs for connecting an outboard amp or powered sub.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

Note: This receiver is not compatible with the iPhone 5. If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Complement your setup with a phone mount

This receiver requires input from your iPhone from time to time during operation — most notably when running the MotionX GPS Drive app. It's a good idea to mount your iPhone where it's easy to reach. Check out our selection of Pro.Fit mounts.

This smartphone receiver will not play CDs. If you want to play CDs in your vehicle, we offer a wide selection of CD receivers.

    System Overview

    The Pioneer AppRadio: The Pioneer AppRadio (SPH-DA02) is an innovative car audio system with a 6.1" capacitive touchscreen display that when used along with the unit's Advanced App Mode, facilitates the use of your connected iPhone 4/4S's applications from Pioneer and other providers in the vehicle. In addition to the basic functions, such as AM/FM radio and Bluetooth hands-free phoning, when an iPhone 4/4S is connected you'll have full access to your music, photos, videos, calendars, and select iTunes apps.

    Apple iPhone 4/4S Compatible: The Pioneer AppRadio is designed specifically for the Apple iPhone 4/4S and offers audio playback functions for other select iPod/iPhone models. It is not compatible with the iPhone 5 or above. You cannot connect other USB devices, digital audio players, or smartphones. This unit does not contain a CD player, nor does it have CD-changer port.

    AppRadio App (Ver. 1.2.1): The Pioneer AppRadio (SPH-DA02) requires that you download the latest AppRadio app from the iTunes app store onto your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s.

    Display Features

    2-DIN Chassis: The Pioneer AppRadio (SPH-DA02) has a 2-DIN chassis (also known as "Double DIN" or size DD), and will fit in many vehicles with a large dash opening. The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets. As always, please consult the Crutchfield Car Selector to verify fit with your vehicle.

    Note: This receiver does not include a mounting sleeve. This is not an issue for most vehicles, however, there are some vehicles that require the use of a mounting sleeve when installing a 2-DIN receiver. No accessory mounting sleeve is available for this receiver.

    6.1" Capacitive Touchscreen Display: The front of the unit features a clean and simple aesthetic look with only three physical buttons (a home button, a volume up button and a volume down button) combined with a high-resolution WVGA (800 x 480) 6.1" capacitive touchscreen display. This capacitive touchscreen requires less pressure, responds faster, and can recognize multiple touch points simultaneously; all advantages when compared to traditional resistive touchscreen displays. Touchscreen control is used for all functions including the app interface, iPod control/playback, AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth hands-free calling features.

    Note: All of the AppRadio's controls have been designed specifically for in-vehicle operation to promote a safe driving experience.

    Multi-Language Text: The Pioneer AppRadio offers 20 display languages - including English, French, and Spanish.

    Display Adjustments: You can adjust the touchscreen display's Dimmer (on/off), Brightness (1-5), and Black Level (1-5).

    Demonstration Images: If you do not operate the unit for 30 seconds, demonstration images are displayed. You can turn this function Off.

    Screen Off: You can set the time (Off, 10 sec, or 20 sec.) when the screen is blacked out.

    Quick Start Mode: The AppRadio features a Quick Start Mode that puts the AppRadio into a reduced power mode for five minutes when the vehicle ignition is switched to Off. While in Quick Start Mode, if you turn the ignition switch On, the AppRadio will immediately start up. If the unit is in Quick Start Mode and the ignition is not switched to On within five minutes, the AppRadio automatically turns itself off.

    Note: The unit has a boot-up time of approximately 30 seconds when the unit is powered up (from the Off position). Once the unit is booted-up, you must then launch your iPhone 4/4S's AppRadio app (which takes approximately another 10 seconds).

    Parking Brake Interlock: This unit has a parking brake interlock system that prohibits viewing of video programming and operating certain controls when the vehicle is in motion. In order to watch video on the in-dash monitor, the vehicle must be parked with the parking brake engaged.

    Rear View Camera: The Pioneer AppRadio (SPH-DA02) is equipped with a composite video Rear View Camera input. The unit features a function that automatically switches to the rear camera image (Rear View Camera In jack) when an optional rear camera (130NDBC4, sold separately) is installed on your vehicle. When your vehicle's shift lever is in the reverse position, the screen automatically switches to the rear view camera (the pink wire in the supplied harness must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit for automatic video switching). You can switch between a Normal or Mirror image.

    Installation Angle: For optimum playback performance, the unit should be installed at an angle of less than 60-degrees.

    App Control

    Advanced App Mode: When connected to an iPhone 4/4S (using the supplied iPod AV cable) with the Pioneer AppRadio application and compatible third-party apps, the full potential of the AppRadio can be experienced. The Pioneer AppRadio application enables access to the data and connectivity of the iPhone 4/4S. AppRadio allows you to access your iPhone 4's compatible apps, Calendar, and Contacts directly from the Pioneer AppRadio's 6.1" touchscreen. Compatible iPhone 4/4S apps are optimized for use on the AppRadio's 6.1" capacitive touchscreen and all touch, swipe, pinch, and zoom gestures are recognized as if you were directly interacting with your iPhone 4/4S.

    Note: To access compatible apps you must have an Apple iPhone 4/4S with the latest version of the AppRadio application from the Apple's iTunes App Store. Your iPhone will need an active Data Plan account with connection to the Internet via 3G, EDGE, or WiFi.

    Compatible Apps: Pioneer has initially partnered with several app providers to integrate AppRadio compatibility into a few of today's most popular apps, formatted specifically for safe use and access in the vehicle. AppRadio compatible apps are now available, including the following - AUPEO!, DashCommand, INRIX, MotionX-GPS Drive, Rdio, StreamS HiFi, and Pandora Radio (as of 5/1/2012).

    Note: You can initially select the app you want from the AppRadio screen, or you can launch the AppRadio app successfully by pressing the HOME hardkey while on a 3rd party app (AppRadio app). Once you have selected an app, you will continue control of the selected app via the AppRadio's touchscreen controls or the iPhone 4/4S touchscreen (based on app protocol).

    MotionX-GPS Drive Navigation Ready: MotionX-GPS Drive is a complete GPS navigation solution, designed and optimized for the iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2-6.1.3 later) / 4S (iOS 5.0-6.1.3) , that can be displayed on the Pioneer AppRadio.

All the functionality of an advanced dedicated turn-by-turn GPS unit is presented in this intuitive iPhone 4/4S application. MotionX-GPS Drive Offers full support for the iPhone 4/4S with multitasking, routing, and live voice guidance instructions continuing in the background; while you listen to streaming music from your car audio system or use other applications from the iPhone 4/4S.

    Built-in Bluetooth

    Bluetooth Technology: The AppRadio (SPH-DA02) is equipped with built-in Bluetooth ver. 2.1 + EDR allowing to make and receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver from your iPhone 4/4S or most other Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth Profiles - HFP 1.5 (Hands Free Profile) and PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile). The AppRadio does not support Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP/AVRCP).

    Phone Pairing: Your iPhone 4 will need to be initially paired to the Pioneer AppRadio, before you are able to make or receive a phone calls from the unit.

    Hands-Free Communication: The AppRadio supports wireless hands-free communication (HFP/HSP/OPP) for your iPhone 4/4S. The unit will display the caller's information and an audible ring tone will be heard through your vehicle's speaker during an incoming call. You can manually answer an incoming call or have the unit automatically answer the call. The AppRadio allows you to carry on a phone conversation from your iPhone 4/4S using the unit's external microphone and your car audio speakers. During a conversation you can adjust the volume. Using the AppRadio, you can dial a phone number in one of the following ways:

    • Entering a Phone Number: You can make a call by entering the phone number using the unit's on-screen keypad (0-9, *, #, +).
    • Phone Book: Your iPhone 4/4S's phone book can be synched to the AppRadio. Up to 1,000 contacts and 4,000 phone numbers can be transferred. After finding the number you want to call in the phone book, you can select the entry and make the call. Phone numbers are listed alphabetically by Contact Name.
    • Call Log: The most recent calls dialed, received, and missed are stored in memory (up to 100 for each call log). You can browse them and call numbers from these lists.

    External Microphone: During your wireless phone call, you can talk into the unit's included microphone, and listen to the other party through the vehicle's speaker system. The external microphone provides better performance in noisy environments than an integrated microphone found on the front-panel of many other in-dash headunits. The microphone features a 13' cord that plugs into the back of the radio, and comes with an adjustable visor-mount clip.

    Note: This unit is not equipped with an integrated front-panel mic.
    Audio Section

    MOSFET50 Internal Amplifier: The AppRadio is equipped with a 50 watts x 4 (peak) MOSFET amplifier for low distortion, high power output. The amplifier is strong enough to power small subwoofers to moderate volume levels in compact cars and pickups. For higher volume levels from subwoofers, an optional amplifier may be connected to the preamp outputs.

    CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the Pioneer AppRadio are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs are as follows:

    • CEA2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
    • Continuous Power Output: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD)
    • Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (or 50 watts x 2 channels at 4 ohms + 70 watts x 1 channel at 2 ohms for subwoofer)

    EEQ (Easy EQ): There are seven stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. You can choose from - Powerful, Natural, Vocal, Super Bass, Flat, Custom 1, or Custom 2.

    3-Band Parametric EQ: The Pioneer AppRadio (SPH-DA02) employs a 3-Band Parametric EQ to customize the sound.

    2.0-Volt Preamp Output: The Pioneer AppRadio features one pair of 2.0-volt preamp outputs. The unit's preamp output can be configured as a fading rear-channel output or a non-fading subwoofer output with a low-pass filter and output level control.

    Subwoofer Control: When configured as the subwoofer output, you can select the frequency of the 18dB/octave low pass filter (80, 120, or 160 Hz) and the subwoofer gain (+/-12dB).

    Source Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets you adjust the volume level of each source (iPhone, Hands-Free, Radio) to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. Each source can be independently adjusted from -6 dB to +6 dB.

    Switchable Rear Channel/Subwoofer Speaker Output: The rear speaker outputs can be set to provide full range output with full fading capability, or they can be set to provide non-fading subwoofer (low-pass) output. When the rear speaker outputs are set to subwoofer mode, the rear preamp outputs also switch from full range to subwoofer outputs. When set for subwoofer operation, you can connect the rear speaker leads directly to two small 4-ohm passive subwoofers or a dual voice coil sub with 4-ohm voice coils. If you prefer to use a single 2-ohm subwoofer, you can connect the woofer to one set of speaker leads, leaving the other set of rear leads disconnected. The maximum output provided when a 2-ohm load is connected to one set of leads is 70 watts.
