Pioneer DMH-2660NEX
Crutchfield customer from LA PUENTE, CA on 7/16/2025
Purchase at your own risk. Head unit freezes and reboots randomly. Apple Carplay functionality has grown more unreliable over time. Pioneer does not seem to have any firmware updates available for this unit either. I may eventually just have to get a new one.

Absolute Garbage!
Tyler from Woodland, CA on 5/10/2025
2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Don't but this piece of garbage! I got to say it pretty disappointing that Crutchfield keeps promoting this trash. For years now this stereo has been featured. Read all of the 1 star reviews and it's obvious what the problems are. I have had many of them. It's constantly powering off when you're cruising down the road. Taking several minutes to boot up when you're trying to navigate through an unfamiliar bustling city. All I can see is a black screen when I'm trying to back out of a parking spot on a busy street. Scaring the poop out me when I turn off the car and a super loud POP from all the speakers. When it works it's great which is why I've lived with it for a couple years now, but I can't take it anymore. Going to buy anything but a pioneer.
Pros: When it works it sounds great. Good EQ. A lot of control
Cons: Glitchy. No firmware updates for years. Backup guides don't default to on.

Justin from FREMONT, CA on 4/23/2025
it's been a great head unit in my experience. I've had it in two cars, an acura RSX type S and a nissan 350z. It's never given me issues, the screen is responsive and has great color and fidelity, it sounds great and can go pretty darn loud, my only complaint is carplay sometimes is laggy and has connection issues but only when it's really hot inside the cabin. this could also be due to the phone getting hot as a result, and not the head unit itself, or maybe a combo of both. anyways this head unit rocks and that's why i ended up with two of them

Touch responsiveness is nearly immediate as well which is amazing! Bluetooth and CarPlay both work great!! The install kit that was recommended by crutchfield worked great and helped make everything look seamless!

Better than I expected
Gerry from Saraland, AL on 3/18/2025
1995 Chevrolet C Series
I installed this unit in a 1995 c1500 pickup truck. When I installed this unit I wired it for a subwoofer because the head unit I replaced had very little bass and I figured I would need a subwoofer for this unit too. Well, I don't! The speakers in the doors are $40 Kenwood 6.5" coaxial and the rear speakers are Infinity 4x6 plate speakers that I adapted to fit into the side storage compartment next to the rear seat. I put the rear speakers there because I didn't want to try to take all the 30 year old plastic interior pieces off and risk breaking them. I was shocked how much bass this unit puts out, even with the small speakers. I didn't want a "show" quality system, I just a wanted a good quality sound. This unit gives me that. I would say it compares to the upper end systems in new vehicles. I am very happy with this unit and with Crutchfield.
Pros: -Surprisingly good bass. -Lots of audio configurations to fit your sound preferences -Good camera picture
Cons: Even though I checked the size of the unit, because of the location of the wiring plugs on the back, I had to cut out a good bit of the plastic back of the radio mounting compartment in my 1995 c1500. Be very careful! There is a wiring harness that is behind the plastic that could easily be cut if you don't see it.

It worked great till the warranty ended, now the radio tuner fades in and out and get a lot of static. Called Crutchfield to see if they knew anything related to my problem.

Daniel from RICHMOND, TX on 12/3/2024
2011 Toyota Tundra
I've had this radio for just over two years. I'm really disappointed in the quality of a higher end radio. All of the sudden the FM stations will cut in and out. It's never had a problem before. I checked the antenna connection on the head unit and made sure it was secure, it was. I double checked my trucks antenna, and it was also fine. I know its not my trucks antenna because I can detach the physical antenna and still receive a radio signal when its working. It has to be a hardware issue with the Pioneer head unit because it is random sometimes, I get FM stations and sometimes I don't. I tried to reach out to Pioneer and never heard back. This is the second Pioneer unit I have had issues with so needless to say I will never be buying a Pioneer unit again.

Great solution to modernize my ride
Rob from WOODINVILLE, WA on 11/30/2024
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
I wanted to modernize the sound system in my FJ Cruiser, and this unit was a great choice. Being able to easily take calls, get navigation (Android Auto in my case), and play books and music from my phone really helped bring my ride up to date. I'm using the factory speakers -- the FJ Cruiser came with 8 speakers, the ceiling speakers being of the 4 Ohm variety. I was able to adjust the output in this head unit to accommodate, and the resulting sound quality is very good, IMHO. I also appreciate having HD Radio, and use those extra stations more than I anticipated. It's a noticeable improvement in audio quality when a signal strong enough to broadcast in HD. The install with the Crutchfield instructions was straightforward -- the most time consuming part was the optional step of installing a back-up camera and running the wire through the tailgate door. I suppose that the one feature I might wish to add to this is the ability to tie a given source (HD Radio, Android Auto, Bluetooth, etc) to a particular equalizer profile. I prefer different equalizer settings when listening to an audiobook vs classical music, for example. It's not hard to change profiles, but having those set by default would be helpful in my case.

Should have purchased a Kenwood! Don't like the way it operates. I don't need "big brother" protecting me from myself! The illumination is either hi or low does not track other gauges. It sounds very good even with factory amp & speakers, also easier to see screen in a convertible!

This unit is trash. It reboots constantly when making phone calls with CarPlay. I have used multiple cables, wireless adapters and different phones and it will crash 5 times during a 20min phone call. Resetting the head unit and resetting my phone didn't help any. Regretting this purchase.
Pros: Fills the hole in my dash where my stock unit was
Cons: Too many to list.

Touch is laggy
Gabriel from Oregon on 8/11/2024
2002 Acura RSX
Does everything you want it to, but it's laggy. Screen to screen navigation is slow, and if you want to skip multiple songs in a row, it may or may not register the touches. Sometimes you have to tap the volume or skip icon multiple times to get it to register. Has tons of features, but the responsiveness of the actual touch interface is distracting and terrible.
Pros: Tons of features, backup camera and SiriusXM work great, Android Auto works well.
Cons: Touchscreen is laggy and sometimes takes two or three taps to register.

Great headunit and looks beautiful!
Diego Eddie from LONG BEACH, CA on 7/13/2024
2003 Acura RSX
Completely changed the way I listen to music in my car! My favorite interior mod on my car by far, it's simple and clean look just makes my car feel more modern and the difference in sound quality is noticeable from the stock radio. The pure convenience of being able to play music through Spotify or CarPlay was one of the main reasons I picked up this unit (coming from listening to burned cd's). Pioneer is also just such a reputable brand I couldn't help but choose this unit as it wasn't too costly and does what I need and want.
Pros: -Decent price -Great quality -Noticeable sound improvement -Touch buttons (could be a negative for some but I like the clean look) -Bright display (Dims when headlights are on) -Reputable brand -Ease of installation
Cons: -Not the highest definition display but is definitely serviceable

William from Trenton, NJ on 7/2/2024
2000 Chevrolet Camaro
Android audio won't work with my cable hooked up as it should. Took too many attempts to pair my phone with the bluetooth. Spotify never connects. Even though it's an icon on the radio screen that basically there for show. I pay a subscription to spotify so Pioneer is misleading with it's advertising . Absolutely should be seemless to connect . Definitely feel I made a mistake buying this unit.
Pros: Nice appearance.
Cons: Shouldn't be this hard to get a non disc player, multi media head unit to have proper operation and ease of use .

Pioneer NEX in 2013 Expedition
Jason from Canton, GA on 6/17/2024

Functions as advertised, menu and options take a few minutes to become accustom to. Bluetooth connectivity works fine but did not connect the way the instructions provided said to connect. Adding other devices proved to be the same way but now that they are connected work fine and connect automatically and quickly. The screen was supposed to be superior on this unit but somehow I scratched it during install with a plastic plug on the back of the facia which is ugly, annoying but my fault. Android auto and apple car play work as they should. Having the car features displayed is nice as well as the gauges and OBII information.

Won't stop crashing, no firmware support
Josh from Londonderry, NH on 6/9/2024
2016 Toyota Tacoma
I was in love with it for a while, but then it started crashing. It would be every once in a while, it would go black and reboot slowly. Over time, it happened more and more frequently. Now it crashes every 4-5 minutes if I plug in my iPhone. It's done it with several different phones, so it's not just mine. I've restored the unit, and that didn't really help. I did erase and restore my iphone, which was an enormous inconvenience, and that worked for a while, until it started again. I switched out cables, the whole deal, but nothing helped. You're going to look for a newer firmware for this unit, but you'll find that there isn't one. They're still selling it, but Pioneer isn't supporting this model. It's a bummer, because it fit really well in my Tacoma. It sounded and worked great when it did. But it's not like an iPhone is some weird incompatible hardware.
Pros: Sounds good, works when it works.
Cons: won't stop crashing, Pioneer isn't supporting product.

You guys make this easy! Thank You!
Christopher from Lutz, FL on 6/7/2024
Crutchfield made this radio swap out a breeze. I bought the accessories they suggested to connect to my cars equipment properly. The instructions were easy to read, basic and got me to where i needed to be. There were a few things that probably could've been added to them but, if you spend any time looking at what is what you can figure out the rest. It was easy to install the connectors were all prepared and ready for my car and stereo fit perfect. I had this done in less than 90 minutes. I bought the XM Radio interface and the steering wheel controls interface box. I highly recommend anyone buying a stereo get their stuff from Crutchfield. This has been one of the many purchases ive made here over the years and I'm always happy. The stereo is easy to use, has plenty of power for my the 6 speakers it is pushing. I like the EQ's and the Settings are easy to navigate. It hooks up with my old Backup camera. I did have to install the included Mic for the Blue calling and the XM sat antennae , there may be a cable for those, i need to check further. either way, im pleased. the price was fair and the value is HIGH! Thank you once again Crutchfield. Have a Great Day everyone!
Pros: Awesome looking radio, with plenty of power, full of features, customizable colors, themes, XM and HD Ready, Backup Cam input, Front Cam input, USB input, Aux Input, Bluetooth, 6 RCA output for F&R + Sub, Easy to install.

Great unit, with a few challenges
Dori from El Dorado Hills, CA on 5/29/2024
1991 Mazda Miata
Solid unit, fairly easy install with a good array of connections -- the unit works great. Two issues to be aware of... for some reason the wiring harness port is installed upside-down (the slider clip is on the opposite side that prior versions), what this means is that you may not be able to plug and play with a previously installed Pioneer stereo harness... we had to rewire the whole harness. If you are choosing this ONLY because of the ease of the harness, be aware. The second issue is that the touch screen controls on the left side menu array is really small... if you don't have steering wheel controls built in, the volume controls are problematic. I never realized how often I am adjusting the volume, until it was a challenge. We will be trying to add a remote steering wheel control option.
Pros: Great screen, good power, lots of personalization options.
Cons: wiring harness, size of the touch screen menu controls

It's a love/hate relationship with this thing. I like the features and sound quality, however it constantly changes screens without any user input. It's very distracting while driving. Now I have to contact Pioneer and probably drive around with an empty dash while waiting for it to be repaired or replaced.

Doug from SANDY, OR on 12/27/2023
2013 Subaru Outback
This unit ticked all my boxes for updating daughter's 2013 Outback to Apple CarPlay, for convenience (and safety). What's not to love? CarPlay, Android Auto, digital radio and retention of the steering wheel controls, brings the capability up to date, and sounds amazing! The myriad of available accoutrement harnesses and tech support made the install a piece of cake with just a couple questions to readily available and knowledgeable techs! I got my daughter's surprise Christmas coup gift, installed and we took a ride to kick out the jams. Could already see the safety factor paying off, as she got used to the hands-free control of her playlists as we hit the road.
Pros: Great sound, CarPlay, Android Auto, digital radio
Cons: A few ??s on the installation that weren't in the several instructions we had to follow

I have had this radio since 3/2022. Android Auto connection fails kinda frequently. There is no Firmware support from Pioneer for this unit, and there is a long thread online about this and many people having the same sort of issues.
Pros: Nice while the Android auto worked
Cons: Android auto stops working frequently

Darin from Tipp City, OH on 12/1/2023

Seems better than a Boss Elite unit that I also recently purchased. Graphics are somehow better, response is better. This would be 5 stars except my phone doesn't want to automatically connect through Bluetooth, and I sometimes have to try repeatedly to make the connection.
Pros:
Cons: BT phone connection doesn't automatically happen

This radio sounds amazing. Has all the audio adjustments that I need. I have subs and components speakers running off 2 amps. This radio mutes itself constantly. Randomly switches media sources. Back up camera has black screen. Couldn't get it to work. Camera worked fine on previous radio. I can't even listen to it. All I have with this unit is a hole delete panel in the dash. I will be disposing this unit it is useless. Only been installed four days.
Pros: Has everything I needed with audio adjustment.sounds great.
Cons: Keep muting switching media and no back up camera.

Scott from PASS CHRISTIAN, MS on 10/21/2023

I purchased this three years ago and it has worked pretty well for most of that time. Carplay has always been slow to connect and the head unit will randomly reboot from time to time. This week the Carplay function has quit altogether. I recently purchased another brand for one of my other cars and the difference in performance was striking. I didn't realize what I had been living with and had gotten used to as "normal". I don't think I'll buy Pioneer again.
Pros: Good display Good sound Good controls
Cons: Random reboots Carplay slow to connect Carplay failure

Go with the Kenwood
Thomas from Sacramento, CA on 8/25/2023
2014 Toyota Tacoma
The HU was buggy. Shut down on it's own while sitting in reverse and didn't reboot. Giggled the ECU connector and then it rebooted. Got a mile down the road and was testing voice commands and it got stuck on stupid for a few minutes. Not sure if it's maestro rr or HU related. Crutchfield was great. Recommended the Kenwood DMX709S and they mailed it out before getting the old order back (replace and return). It was great. So far the Kenwood is great! No bugs, sounds great and has many features the pioneer was missing e.g. mini hdmi, ability to connect five phones via bluetooth vs two with the pioneer, comes with a face plate and satellite radio antenna and probably more. Have really dove in yet. Thanks Crutchfield. I appreciate the great customer service, cheers!
Pros: Average head unit
Cons: Kenwood DMX709S is much better.

After searching the internet for the ultimate auto AV receiver to replace my original 2007 car stereo at a reasonable price, I decided on the Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. This AV player had great reviews and the reviews from other buyers were on point. The receiver is loaded with features. I would recommend this AV receiver to anyone looking for a moderately priced quality radio replacement.
Pros: Easy installation, great product features!
Cons: Small volume control adjustment buttons on display but, the remote control can offer assistance to overcome the lack of size on display panel.

this was not my first pick my first choice kept freezing after owning a month and the customer support did everything they could to help me. When the radio was no longer able to be used the support team members pointed me to this radio and after 2 weeks I really love this unit it's very snappy and smooth and makes my stock speakers sound phenomenal. I would buy this head unit again very adjustable and you can customize quite a bit so if you like good clean sound this radio is a great one for the price. But if for any reason it isnt Crutchfield support team has your back they really do satisfy their customers ,
Pros: smooth transition,excellent sound,reasonable price
Cons: non so far does everything I need

Ticks all the necessary boxes for most
Karl from SEVIERVILLE, TN on 6/19/2023
2002 Chevrolet Suburban
Bought this to replace a 4200-NEX that I installed in 2014 in my Mazda that developed an intermittent pre-amp/DSP fault on the front left channel; it has the benefit of being directly harness and SWC-adapter compatible, so I needed nothing other than the head unit itself and the replacement took less than 15 minutes. This is the most-reasonable (in price) unit today from Pioneer that has time alignment and auto-EQ measurement. That makes a huge difference in sound quality and is almost-impossible to get right manually, so there you have it. Its a mech-less deck but today is that important? I think not. Takes a memory stick (and will read a SSD in a USB enclosure) as did the 4200. In the "annoying de-content" category it doesn't allow replacing the splash screen as the 4200 did. Not a big deal. I'm using a mild external amp and sub under the seat but have the same unit in my Suburban using the built-in amp. The only complaint I have is that the capacitive screen, being glossy, sometimes thinks you picked up your finger when you didn't -- the 4200 with older resistive tech and matte never did that. I'd like it if Pioneer released a firmware update that allowed setting the screen sensitivity to adjust that out, but otherwise I have no complaints. If they did that it would rate five stars, especially for the price. Format USB media as FAT32 and sort it on your PC to get sort order correct. Recommended.
Pros: Time alignment / Auto-EQ; FLAC compatible, will take up to 128Gb stick or SSD on the USB port, direct harness compatible with older (~10 years back) Pioneers so easy replacement if you had an older one.
Cons: Touch screen, being glossy, occasionally thinks you picked up your finger when you didn't (e.g. when scrolling.)

Mark from Houston, TX on 6/19/2023
2005 Chevrolet Tahoe
Could not be more pleased with the product, installation and support. Looks great and worked perfectly right out of the box. Didn't even have to adjust the equalizer. Installed in a 2005 Tahoe with the Bose system. Existing speakers, sub and amp seemed to be completely functional, so left them as is. Sound is fantastic. Look forward to installing the same system in my 2005 Avalanche. I had never installed a stereo or backup camera before, so was a little intimidated. But with the instructions from Crutchfield, the prewired harness and a phone call, could not have been easier. I would encourage anyone thinking about doing it themselves to go ahead. You will be more than pleasantly surprised. BTW - I read reviews all over about Pioneer products (over others) and very happy I went that route.

I spend a lot of time driving for work as a traveling audio engineer, and my music is what keeps me going. After years of grinning and bearing the hassles of my stock Toyota stereo, buttons failing, and then total malfunction and drop-outs, I decided it was time to upgrade. Crutchfield's site was easy to use, and helped me make my selection process a breeze with their compare feature. The Pioneer DMH-2660NEX was what I chose, and boy is it awesome! From the fully customizable appearance, swipable touchscreen, 12-band EQ, HD radio, Bluetooth, and Apple CarPlay - this stereo is exactly what I needed in my life. With navigation and Siri completely integrated through Apple CarPlay, my time behind the wheel is so much more enjoyable - whether on long road trips, or a trip around the corner. And, with Crutchfield's payment plan, I can still afford to fill up my tank!

Best Headunit for the price
Ash from Knoxville, TN on 3/21/2023
2007 Ford F-150
This Headunit is perfect for the enthusiast, it has great sound quality with a high signal to noise ratio where I never hear a hiss, such good controls for a apple car play/Android Auto headunit, time alignment is excellent on this unit, obviously it won't be like a real DSP's time alignment like a mosconi, JL, etc, but for a headunit it destroys every other companies out there. The equalizer is great too and although it is 13 bands, which is plenty, if you are wanting to adjust it further such as specific peaks and dips I recommend a DSP. It is a nice unit and has a ton of features like a TRUE capacitive 1080p display/touchscreen, high voltage pre outs, lots of audio controls, fast booting, lag free experience. I highly recommend this unit to anyone
Pros: Great features, lovely sound quality, excellent display
Cons: Fan kicks on in the unit and with no music playing you can hear is for a while but cools down.

2016 Toyota Tundra
Have bought 3-4 systems through Crutchfield over years and this was the most complete where I did not have to do any splicing/soldering. I had to make a call in the 11th hour to Tech Support about a couple issues that turned out to be me not installing a missing 4-pin data cable...which fell between seat and console. ;) Once I got that in place....tested and everything worked great. Got dark so finished up this morning with running microphone wire.....OBD2 port wire (to show vehicle statistics)......and then re-inserted into dash. Everything buttoned up nicely and no modifications or other massaging was needed for a clean fit. The adapter and other harnesses and modules, antennae cable converter, etc....all worked great including the pre-painted bezel trim to finish it off when installed. Now I finally have Android Auto in my 2016 Toyota Tundra Limited 4x4..... I was able to keep steering wheel controls, backup camera, HD Radio, USB connector on bottom of center dash column, etc. The only thing that would have made it perfect is a way to bypass or include the OEM microphone for hands free phone use instead of the remote bluetooth microphone. Otherwise, perfect package...Thank you.
Pros: - Capabilities - Sound quality - Fit/Finish
Cons: - no solution for OEM mic - wish would of preprogrammed Maestro before shipping

Quality Issues/Unreliable
Eddie from GETTYSBURG, PA on 1/30/2023
If this radio was more consistent, it'd be great. Let's start with the software issues. About once every week or week and a half, the head unit would turn on but nothing works. Android Auto music doesn't come through and remains paused. Even switching to the HD Radio, no stations come up. Once I pull over, turn off the car, and restart the car, everything is normal. Moving to the hardware issues, I don't know if it is an issue overall or a specific batch. The first head unit I received had a board issue with the RCA from the camera where you had to put pressure to the side to get a good contact for the video to show up. A replacement unit was sent and it worked great for 3 months. However, the video randomly stopped on this 2nd head unit and it's the same, if I push the cheap connector from the Crux camera to the left or down, the video shows up. The original and replacement units were both from the June 2022 manufacturing batch. Video works if you have a thick high quality connector that I tested from a game console but it stopped working randomly one day with the cheap connector from Crux without pressure on the connector to the head unit board. Love that I can hold a button to mute the radio when pulling up to a drive through. Android Auto and CarPlay works great when radio has everything running. Has easy button to switch between Pioneer radio and Android Auto/CarPlay without finding going to the menu to exit that mode. Just wish this was reliable.
Pros: Easy switching between Android Auto/CarPlay and HD Radio Mute Shortcut Custom Background Easy adjust of which audio level on the screen (music vs Navi) Clear mic conversations
Cons: Sensitive to cheap camera cables Software issues Deep body

Pioneer disappointment

Very disappointed. I've had several Pioneer receivers and this one does not measure up. My factory Ford unit sounded way better, clearer and more volume. The sound is muddled. I've adjusted the equalizer until my fingers were numb. Guess I should have ordered the Alpine I was considering. Oh well.

A complete disappointment!
Steven from ARLINGTON, TX on 10/9/2022
2016 Toyota Tacoma
I have really learned to hate this head unit. I bought a Sony unit and placed it my GTI...liked it, so I purchased another and placed it in my wife's Camry (both continue to perform flawless). For some reason I decided to try a Pioneer unit in my Tacoma. Ugh...just like in Indiana Jones..."he chose poorly". I put it in during the height of Covid so I was not driving much, but when I did, it would randomly reboot when I hit a pothole (or any bump in the road for the matter). Sometimes it would disconnect from Apple CarPlay for no reason and just stay with a black screen for a good 3-5 minutes before coming back online. I ended up sending it to Crutchfield for service and the internal USB board was found to be defective and was replaced. The software was blasted out and reprogrammed to address the rebooting issue. It worked well for a few months and then started up again and it has been hit or miss over the last year and I have just learned to live with it up until today. I hit a pothole while on the phone today and the unit decided that it was good time to reboot. I then found myself reaching for the phone to place it on speaker so that I can continue my conversation on the handset. I don't like driving down the highway reaching around for a phone so I decided that it was enough of this unit...I yanked it out and went back to factory. The basic stock radio from Toyota is an improvement over this thing.
Pros: Info from the OBD port to the radio is pretty neat
Cons: Reliability is terrible

Backup Camera Issues
Tony from ROSWELL, GA on 9/22/2022
2013 Nissan Altima
I have always loved Pioneer car stereos but this one has ended that. I have hooked everything up and the factory installed backup camera in my 2013 Nissan Altima will come on for 15 seconds then it goes black. You can still see the guide lines just no image. This has caused me a few moments of panic when I am reversing and then have to switch to using mirrors and looking over my shoulder. Unfortunatley Crutchfield have offered very vague and frustrating support which means I have had to pull the stereo out and reinstall 3 times and the latest suggestion include hooking the system up to another camera or hooking the camera up to another screen. Many may have the time and patience for that but not me. Will buy a different brand in future and also go to an installer to save the headaches.

Beautiful. Sounds great. Might be buggy.
Dustin from Springfield, MO on 9/1/2022
2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Purchased this from another retailer. Installed in my 2015 Silverado along with the iDataLink Maestro RR and GM3 harness. The Maestro allowed me to retain my steering wheel controls, climate controls, vehicle data and OE vehicle controls and all are adjusted in the menus of this Pioneer unit. I have been running this for about 2 weeks and so far a couple of things have happened to me. First, the audio to my door speakers will randomly cut out completely. The signal to my subs is still there because they are still playing music, but nothing coming from the doors. Sometimes this lasts a second, sometimes a minute or two. I have isolated this down to something I did during installation. I retraced my steps and repositioned wires and it hasn't happened since. Second thing is that, when connected to CarPlay on my iPhone, once in a while the display will go to the phone and display the favorites from my contact list. There is no getting away from this screen. Any time you try to select something else, it immediately goes right back to the phone. The only way to correct the issue is to disconnect the phone and turn the vehicle off. Turn it back on and reconnect the phone-- the issue is resolved, until it decides to do it again. This could be one of two things: a programming issue in my Maestro, or that I'm on a Beta of iOS and some bug in the code is tripping out. I will be troubleshooting this in the next couple days. All in all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stereo!
Pros: Sound. Features. iDataLink. Lots of inputs/outputs. Lots of customization. CarPlay!
Cons: In pitch dark, the display is a little bright, there is an option to turn the display off, but there should be an option to further dim it and not have to turn it off all together. I mean, it's not enough to really inhibit night drives, but it's definitely a little distracting.

Was great while it lasted
James from HAVERTOWN, PA on 7/31/2022
2009 Honda Fit
Great unit and value, Android Auto and HD Radio. Loved it while it worked. Unfortunately 22 months after purchase the USB port on the back of the unit has failed, so no more Android Auto / Apple CarPlay. Very disappointed. Only a 1-year warranty, so it looks like I'll be shopping for a new unit, which definitely won't be a Pioneer.

Great product for the price
Ian from Fort Mill , SC on 7/10/2022
2009 Jeep Patriot
Easy to install, easy to use and the person for whom I purchased this absolutely loves it. Thanks to Crutchfield this install took about an hour (which had more to do with me preparing) and worked as expected. Sound is great and is easy to navigate. There are a few more accessories to connect but I don't expect any issues with those.
Pros: Great sound and thorough instructions made this install go smoothly.
Cons: Had to hunt a bit for the install instructions.

18 months in waiting
Brenton from Athens, GA on 6/19/2022
2004 Honda Pilot
Well, I got enough gift cards to finally purchase this for my Honda Pilot.. but.. it was December 2020, the chip shortage was in full effect, and these were no where to be found. Thankfully, a million days later, crutchfield finally got them back in stock (albeit more expensive). Crutchfield service was amazing as always and install was a breeze. I've had the unit freeze on my once, but besides that it has worked flawlessly. After installing I thought this was a mistake and a novelty item, but as I've used it more and more I've come to find that I love it as much as I knew I would all those months ago. Call quality is great, it pushes my stock speakers, and has even left me wanting aftermarket speakers along with amp. This wasn't my first pioneer head unit and won't be my last.
Pros: Easy install with readyharness Good features Decent interface
Cons: Slightly laggy in the world of iPhone 13's

Great integration with my 2013 outback. Retained backup camera and steering wheel controls. HD tuner is strong. Bought mainly for Apple Carplay and it works flawlessly. FYI when installing in 2013 Outback without factory navigation and Harmon/Kardon amp you will have to use the pioneer blue tooth mic because there is no factory integration available. I also purchased the $20 pioneer calibration microphone and ran the auto eq. The sound stage slightly improved but don't expect miracle. The look of the head unit is perfect for keeping your dash looking "factory"

This is my second one of these to install in my cars. Super happy with them so far. In my Subaru it replaced the stock unit with something modern that I could use Android Auto on and get SiriusXM with. Works great and sounds great with just the deck power going to stock speakers. Sounds better than the stock head unit did for sure. My only complaint with the Pioneer decks is the low charging power for the USB connection when using Android Auto. I'll be installing the next one in my Frontier in July.

Love having Apple play and Bluetooth in my Supra now. Works pretty seamlessly most of the time. I have noticed a few times where it was not powering up or connecting was really delayed but it always worked itself out on its own unlike the OE radio in some of the newer Fords I've had where you had to turn the car off to re-sync. Added a basic backup camera to it as well that integrates flawlessly. Very happy with the purchase.

Great stereo
Eric from Yuma, TN on 4/18/2022
2014 Chevrolet Camaro
TL;DR - GREAT in 5th gen Camaro with two separate amps for cabin speakers and subwoofer. Great stereo. Touch input is very responsive compared to other full touch screen stereo's I've had. Works excellently with iDatalink and Android Auto. Charges phone at a decent speed while connected for Android Auto. The rear I/O options are fantastic. I could fill out the entire review with things I like about this stereo, but I'll just leave it at "recommended". The list of things I don't like is way shorter than the list of things I do like: - I don't like the crossover tuning screen. I can't figure out how to set it spot on the settings I want. The crossover tuning is the worst part of the touchscreen input of the entire system. Manually setting individual equalizer bars is also a bit spotty, but nowhere near as bad as the crossover tuning screen. - This one is pretty minor, as I do not know if other Android Auto units can even do this, but it would be nice to be able to manually move the song progress bar to move back and forth inside a song, like I can with the Android app. - My previous iDatalink compatible stereo (JVC) had more OBD information and more screen configuration options available. However, in my particular application this Pioneer also has climate controls integrated to replace the factory stereo faceplate control knobs. There's pros and cons for this unit in regards to the iDatalink setup, but overall it's definitely good - and the climate contr

I Like It
Daniel from N Massapequa, NY on 3/16/2022
I like it! I think you get a lot of functionality for the price from a trusted brand. Screen is responsive and generally looks nice and clear. Certain screens, most notably the navigation/maps with android auto could look better, but it's not a deal breaker for me. (The maps' screen colors look a bit off and the lines aren't super sharp). HD fm stations sound very good and this receiver has put new life into the stock speakers. I like how easy it is to switch the eq also. I didn't have OEM backup camera,so I can't comment on that. Some minor negatives: -Unit takes longer to boot up than I would like, but that's not a huge deal -Android auto also takes a bit of time to load, but I've experienced that in OEM systems also. -It seems like audio from my Bluetooth calls only plays from the rear speakers (not sure of there is a setting I am missing) -There's no hands free dialing unless you use Apple Car Play. Overall, I'm happy. The age of my vehicle and the original equipment mean this is a definite upgrade, but some of the negatives I pointed out keep me from giving 5 stars.
Pros: Responsive. Good sound from HD radio and generally improved sound overall.
Cons: Color and screen clarity isn't amazing. Long boot up time. Other little quirks listed above.

Just what the doctor called for. Was very easy to install. It is hooked to an aftermarket 4- channel amp and a mono block. EQ is nice. The auto EQ works ok but use a spectrum analyzer to better your sound. Nice being able to use wired apple car play to music, maps, etc. it literally took 2hrs or less to install including soldering connections.

DMH 2660NEX fits 3rd gen 4Runners
Nick from Texas on 2/3/2022
2002 Toyota 4Runner
At the time of this review, the product was out of stock with no expected return date. I had called Crutchfield the week prior and while on the phone with Felicia, the last item was sold. Crutchfield lists that the DMH-2660NEX will "not" fit into a 2002 4runner; however, after talking with Felicia, she stated that if I removed the factory amplifier (which is no longer needed with this unit), it should fit just fine. I ended up finding it at another retailer and placed my order before they sold out too. I really wanted to order through Crutchfield so I could take advantage of them wiring the Pioneer and Metra harnesses together. I ended up wiring the harnesses together with the Posi-Tite product, which worked very well. The only remaining issue I had was a blue/white wire labeled as "System Remote" from the Pioneer harness and a solid blue wire on the Metra. I called Felicia and told her I had tried to find the answer online, but there were conflicting recommendations. I wasn't sure if Crutchfield would help me since I didn't order the radio through them, but Felicia said she would help. She took the time, escalated my question, and informed me that I needed to connect the two wires together. My power antenna would raise up when the head unit was on, and no longer lower when I switched to streaming services. The antenna will lower when the vehicle or head unit are turned off, allowing me to go thru a car wash. Excellent service, expert advice . and one happy customer!
Pros: Excellent quality Easy installation Crisp/updated look and feel
Cons: No clear instructions provided to wire system remote and power antenna wires together.

Recent purchase of a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX
Crutchfield customer from Dexter, MI on 1/4/2022
Purchased this item from Pioneer because I have used other car decks from them in the past and really liked them. This new unit was rated well, had the features I wanted most like Apple Car Play, HD tuning, USB, and was Sirius/XM compatible. Also liked the large, clear screen. I waited a bit for the unit to come back in stock, and then purchased it when it did. Crutchfield told me it would arrive in two days, and it was delivered just like they promised on Christmas Eve. For the price, it has a lot of upscale features and I am looking forward to using it for many years to come.
Pros: Really nice unit for the price point.

Crutchfield customer from Chanute, KS on 12/8/2021
2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
There are plenty of options with this radio. Overall I really like it. The only reason I didn't give it a five star is it is a bit slow to get booted up when you first start your car making it useless for a backup camera unless you are someone who waits for a minute after you start your car to leave. CarPlay works awesome. I'm not a huge fan of having to plug in my phone every time I get in the car for it to work so for quick trips it's a hassle and the radio itself without CarPlay feels kinda cheap. Overall I'm happy with it
Pros: CarPlay. Options to customize the features you use regularly
Cons: Lag time in loading. Not a huge fan of the controls outside of CarPlay

Severely dislike this product. Purchased two for both cars and have had multiple issues. Even without the issues I wouldn't like the radio. It is unbelievably difficult to see the controls such as column on the left side. The icons are extremely small and so dimly lit in blue that it's difficult to find them or distinguish which control your looking for. Finally most of the functions are not intuitive.

I have been a Crutchfield customer since its beginning in 1975. I bought a stereo for my 1975 Triumph Spitfire when I was in college - complete with headphones! Over the years, I have relied on Crutchfield for leading edge electronics and everything car stereo. My latest purchase was to upgrade my 2006 Porsche Cayman S radio with a Pioneer set. They supplied me with everything I needed and I am very happy with the result. The receiver harness is a Godsend, even though I had to re-pin it for my application. And the Dash Kit matched the factory dash perfectly making it look stock!

Great head unit and glad I waited for it to come back in stock. I had this professionally installed by a shop I found on Crutchfield's website. :). They installed this using a metra wiring harness and also had them install a SiriusXM tuner. The stock speakers sound better which I wasn't expecting! For 2015 Honda Accord Coupe owners, I am happy to report by using Metra I retained all my vehicle settings, including the cameras. If you purchase the steering wheel kit you will be able to adjust your settings with those buttons on the top screen! I was worried for nothing about this upgrade.

Installed this bad boy in my son's 2006 Mustang GT last weekend. The Crutchfield trim kit and wiring kits were perfect and the instructions were very clear. We replaced the factory Shaker 500 head unit and my son is enjoying BlueTooth and Android Auto functionality with much more bass punch than before.

Excellent upgrade for smartphone-centric drivers
Crutchfield customer from COLORADO SPGS, CO on 8/16/2021
2006 Scion xB
Replaced my factory 2006 Scion xB head unit with this modern one. The difference is stunning. It has at least twice the output power (not using an amp) of the factory unit, so it can get much louder without distortion. I am running 6x Focal Auditor series 4-ohm drivers (2 sets in parallel) and a Focal under-seat amplified subwoofer. This head unit is so feature-rich is blows my mind. Time Alignment is amazing and the EQ flexibility is great. CarPlay works flawlessly with my ancient iPhone 6S Plus. Spotify, maps, everything just works awesome. This brought my car into the 21st century, finally. Great job Pioneer!
Pros: All the features! Auto-EQ works great, CarPlay is awesome, digital radio reception is a nice plus, can play videos and view photos too!
Cons: Display is a bit pixellated at only 800x480 pixels but this is only evident when you are viewing photos or watching videos.

Finally found the perfect stereo display for me
Ralph B from PENSACOLA, FL on 7/28/2021
The user interface is simple and is aesthetically pleasing. Touchscreen is very quick to respond. Trying to scroll using the touchscreen is awkward but Pioneer includes a remote which eliminates this problem. This unit can play all of the major music formats, including .m4a I like to buy music from iTunes, put it on my usb flash drive and connect it to the usb port. I'm appalled so many other manufacturers have products that cannot play that file format. The file format has been around since the early 2000s. Props to Pioneer for making a unit that can play a wide variety of audio file formats. I can also skip folders when playing music when using a usb flash drive. A 100% must have for me. This rather minor feature is worth the price tag for this unit. My previous fancy touchscreen stereo display did not allow me to do that. NO OTHER manufacturer makes a touchscreen stereo unit that has this feature. You can skip folders using the screen and the remote. So I can safely skip folders searching for music I want to listen to while driving. So thank you Pioneer for allowing me to skip folders and play .m4a files. You cannot comprehend how much this means to me.
Pros: Can play any and all major music formats Touchscreen is responsive and quick Remote is nice and the unit responds quickly to it You can skip folders when playing music through a usb flash drive using the touchscreen and the remote
Cons: No front USB Reverse light wire is rather short

Not happy. Unit was a big improvement from the AVH-3600 I had before UNTIL, one day out of the blue, the Bluetooth audio only goes through the tweeters. Nothing was changed, but the unit started this. Siri and calls sound like tinny trash. It isn't the network speaker settings either. The tech and I went through this and even reset the unit to factory. Twice. No dice. We tried different phones too. Not the phone. It'll stream audio ok from Bluetooth and if you are on Bluetooth you can hear navigation fine.sometimes. Depends on the mood it's in. So it's a software issue of some kind. Other sources including Siri and CarPlay is trash. Tinny distorted, basically inaudible and worthless. It's funny because the speakers aren't wired that way anyway. So i spent an hour on the phone with Crutchfield and while the tech was helpful but the supervisors didn't seem interested in swapping the radio even though it wasn't even 6 months old and advised me to talk to the absolutely clueless morons at Pioneer service that tested me like I was an idiot that had never installed a head unit before and basically told me that they couldn't do a thing other than tell me to ship it back to them and wait probably months for it to be fixed. Feel I got totally shafted on this and I'm not happy. My radio is worthless for anything other than music. If that was the case I'd happily put the 12 year old stock unit back in and forget this. Extremely disappointed in tutus experience.
Pros: Nice radio. Pretty interface. Sounds good. Easy to use.
Cons: Bluetooth audio for calls sounds like trash. As does CarPlay. Worthless.

Lexus IS250 AWD No Nav Installation
Crutchfield customer from South Salt Lake, UT on 7/20/2021
2010 Lexus IS250
I jumped on the limited supply and don't regret it. The screen is responsive and as with all Pioneer decks, there are many customization settings. The sound quality is great too with plenty of EQ settings. I prefer to use this as a bluetooth audio player rather than through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, so I haven't used those. It does have a Spotify app that seems to work well. I have not had any issues yet. I was also able to keep my steering wheel controls which is great. There is a small amount of clunkiness, but nothing more than every other double din touch screen unit I've tried. Overall, this is a great aftermarket deck and I have no complaints. It worked perfectly with the adapter and dash kit recommended by Crutchfield. I prefer this one to the Pioneer 1400NEX which I installed previously with the silver trim. I am very happy with this purchase.
Pros: Responsive touch screen Many customization settings including wallpapers and colors Looks clean when installed Plenty of extra features Comes with a remote
Cons: Limited Supply Somewhat expensive

Great Features
Crutchfield customer from Virginia Beach, VA on 7/8/2021
2009 Hyundai Veracruz
Great improvement over my old factory headunit, with Bluetooth and Apply CarPlay and Android Auto added. I selected this headunit because there are no clunky or tiny knobs on the face, just a smooth touchscreen. I was able to easily connect up all the wiring with Crutchfield's customized instructions. So many new features that I'm still sorting them out! I have had an issue trying to set up the rear view parking camera options, as the Parking Assist Guidelines Adjustment doesn't seem to be enabled with my setup. That's only an issue because my camera angle makes the default guidelines football goalpost height instead of on the ground. NOTE: I was gong to skip the Parking Brake Switch wire hookup since it is only stated as controlling video play on the screen and I won't use that feature so the effort to route the wire seemed a waste. However, Android Auto requires it to confirm initial setup, something not discussed in any instructions for the headunit or Android Auto, that I read. Once I did hook up that wire, all worked fine.
Pros: Simple wiring Loaded with features: Touchscreen Bluetooth Android Auto Apple CarPlay SiriusXM ready
Cons: Wiring Parking Brake switch Parking Assist Guidelines Adjustment not intuitive

Great stereo and highly recommended
Russ from COLLEGEVILLE, PA on 7/7/2021
2008 Jeep Wrangler
Great stereo! I waited a long time for this to come back in stock. Installed in 2008 Jeep Wrangler. I had to remove the metal bracket that is behind the stock stereo (there are two bolts holding the bracket and then you need to use a pliers to bend the bracket so that you can pull it out through the opening). Wiring and installation went very well. I also installed the Crux CCH-01M backup camera on the Jeep at the same time. That install also went really well. Overall the stereo is fantastic and the backup camera is excellent (day and night). The 'active' guide lines are not very useful, but the lines themselves are very useful (i.e., would be fine with just straight lines). CarPlay is excellent and it's such an upgrade from the stock stereo. I went with this model because I wanted HD Stereo which is really nice but I have to admit I won't be tuning in very often since the CarPlay works so well. FM stations come in more clearly (analog or digital) with the Pioneer than the stock radio (much more static in the stock radio). Also my son complained (a lot) about the speakers in the Jeep... after installing the Pioneer, we both agreed they sound great now with the new stereo - no need to upgrade the speakers. Super happy!

Highly recommend to anyone searching for a mid-range head unit. Android Auto was a must and for the price and I'm not sure this one can be beat.

Reginald from Arvada, CO on 7/4/2021
2014 Volkswagen Passat
Love being able to completely control my Google phone in the dash and see check engine light codes. All the Volkswagen adapters are almost the same price as the head unit but well worth it getting it all put together. I used the prewire service from crutchfield and it made installation a breeze! Currently running two external amplifiers and still have great EQ, filter, and output adjustments in the head unit. Time alignment works amazing as I am very tall and speakers are so far from my head in a full size sedan. The Bluetooth works great and the included mic is above average quality.
Pros: Android auto, great speaker/subwoofer controls, amazing factory integration with the right adapter.
Cons: Haven't found anything wrong with my unit in the 10 months I've been running it.

Installed in my 2006 Frontier. I have tested both CarPlay and Android Auto and both response quickly. The interface is easy to use and clean. The sound is great with factory speakers. I love the button adjustable illumination color to match my cars interior. The buttons are quick to respond as well despite it not being physical. Now I know this is not an HD resolution stereo, but my only complaint is that for both CarPlay and Android Auto, the interface is not as sharp looking (especially the icons) as the stock Pioneer interface. But for the price and features it's a great head unit

Exception value and loaded with features!
Crutchfield customer from San Antonio, TX on 5/26/2021
I really like the Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. It is loaded with features and is a great value.The HD radio and Idatalink Maestro compatibility were 2 reasons I chose this model. The display is very responsive but the boot up time is a little long. This is mainly due the the safety disclaimer that pops up every time you start the car. Apple Car Play works great. Menus are intuitive and well thought out. Hand free calling sounds great. Due to shortages from the pandemic, I was unable to buy a "new" version of this radio so my radio was a scratch and dent from the Crutchfield outlet. It looks new to me so I am thrilled. Really good unit for the money.
Pros: Pioneer quality and lots of features at a great price.
Cons: A little slow to boot up.

Great upgrade from older Pioneer unit
Gregory A from Parker, Colorado on 5/2/2021
2009 Nissan Frontier SE
I purchased this to replace an older Pioneer unit in my 2009 Nissan Frontier. Since it uses the same wiring harness and same connections as the older unit (confirmed this with Crutchfield tech support help before I bought) install took about 10 minutes. Works well and gives me all I need. Only issue I had was that they sent me instructions on how to install in a Honda Ridgeline...??? In any case, I am very happy with the result and would buy again.
Pros: Used the same harness as older unit (circa 2010 unit) Install in less than 10 minutes Sounds great Seems like a solid unit
Cons: Glare from the sun makes the screen almost unusable at certain angles/times of the day

Perfect upgrade!
Evelyn from WAKE FOREST, NC on 4/12/2021
2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
My 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee came from the factory with a basic satellite radio/CD player and a 30-pin iPod connector, so when I got an iPod touch I decided it was finally time to upgrade the receiver to a touchscreen model. Installation wasn't bad; I was intimidated at the mention of subdash modification, but a good hacksaw made that a breeze. (You'll definitely want some trim panel tools though!) I haven't missed the CD player at all! Thanks to the iDatalink Maestro SAT1 adapter, I was able to connect the factory SiriusXM antenna to a new tuner (SXV300V1), which greatly improved my satellite radio experience with more channels, more presets, and pause/skip functions. The iPod connectivity has been great, but the unit is a bit slow to index my library. Phone connectivity, whether through Bluetooth or USB, is great; while I had intended to mostly use Bluetooth, the Android Auto features have been a nice treat. I actually had fun setting up the iDatalink Maestro Interface; I did have to completely disable UConnect, as it interfered with Bluetooth for some reason. HD Radio functionality was something I wasn't expecting, but I've found that it's a nice feature. I've also enjoyed customizing the vehicle information displayed from the OBD connector incorporated into the harness. I'm puzzled by the included remote; it seems like it was designed for a unit with a DVD player, and most of the buttons don't work with this unit. Overall though, this has been a great upgrade experience!
Pros: feature-packed, attractive unit; surprisingly easy to install
Cons: remote control lacks functionality

Not as good as a stock chevy unit
John David from MADISON, AL on 2/24/2021
2004 Jeep Wrangler
I bought this HU as part of a total system upgrade in my 2004 Jeep Wrangler. The goal was to have a Carplay unit for handsfree phone access, but improve sound quality too. The system included a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX head unit, 5-1/4" Kenwood KFC-1396PS in speaker pods up front, 6-1/2" Kenwood KFC-1696 in the overhead sound pods, and the Soundstream RSM4.1200D 75Wx4 amp. The goal of a Carplay upgrade was successful. The Pioneer unit, while not as nice as the stock unit in my other car, does the job. But an improvement in sound didn't happen. I replaced an old 14W Kenwood HU with factory speakers and a 6-1/2 factory sub. I figured I wouldn't need a replacement sub since the two factory speakers overhead (5-1/4 stock) were being replaced with 6-1/2 drivers. Each driver is the same size as my old subwoofer with specs down to 40Hz and 35Hz, so with 75W going to each I should be golden. Wrong! The 14W Kenwood with stock speakers blows away this 75W system. It is literally like listening to a slightly loud clock radio. Horrible! I don't know if it's the amp or the speakers, but together they don't work. And in case you're wondering, I used an install kit by Crutchfield, rated for this amp, and matched the amp gain with a meter. At 75% volume set the amp out on a 1kHz test tone to 17.32V. At this point I don't know whether to add a powered sub or just trash the whole thing and start over. I'm over $800 into this system and it's no better than stock. Stay away from these components!
Pros: Handsfree phone
Cons: Dim display. Difficult controls without looking at unit.

Looks and Sounds Beautiful
Jacob from Beulah, ND on 12/25/2020
2008 Pontiac G6
The features on this are ridiculous. Even though my stock speakers are going out, it still sounds great. There's a ton of control over the sound quality and EQ, and sub output too. Had to do a bit of research and digging to figure everything out, but I finally got it the way I like it. Money well spent. The Android Auto is pretty great too. No more looking at my phone and trying to drive at the same time. The only issue that I've found is that while making calls, the mic isn't that great. It works just fine, but I prefer holding my phone up to my ear. Android Auto only let's you use the stereo mic while it's plugged in. That's probably what it's supposed to do tho. I think I am now a Pioneer guy from now on. Too bad that they're so expensive sometimes, but you get what you pay for. Thanks Pioneer
Pros: -Tons of features -Great sound -Awesome Android Auto -Video input
Cons: -Mic isn't that great -Andriod Auto restricts phone calls to only the stereo mic and speakers

This is the second Pioneer 2660 I have installed this year, this time in a 2006 Toyota Sequoia. Splurging on the ReadyHarness service made the installation process a real breeze. Remove the old radio and transfer the old mounting brackets to the new radio adding the dash kit. I only had to make one wiring connection to the parking brake signal with everything else plug-and-play. This head unit brings the old SUV into the future and the wife loves the CarPlay integration.
Pros: Responsive screen, works well driving JBL system, good visibility in all lighting conditions
Cons: Fade capability is lost when retaining steering wheel controls

Touch screen is very responsive - I like that you can disable/enable features as you see fit and change the color layout of screen and buttons.

Good Value for the Price
Crutchfield customer from Stillwater, OK on 12/16/2020
2005 Chevrolet Avalanche
The interface is easy to navigate and the unit sounds good. Apple CarPlay works well with supported apps (wired only, no wireless for CarPlay at this price point). I've had it installed for about a week, so still getting familiar with it. It works fine - for the most part... The back up camera randomly comes up blank. Have not been able to reproduce it consistently. Something is very wonky in the wiring harness - when wiggled the audio is all over the place and unstable. Seems to be located at the wires in the connector to the unit, but don't know for sure. I've pulled the unit out a couple of times and can't be sure if I'm hearing the audio that I should be hearing. It's a little slow to boot up and I have to press "OK" to acknowledge a warning every time I start the car. That's a mildly annoying first world problem, but the consistent reminder to watch the road isn't all bad. To be fair, I haven't engaged tech support to track down the audio problem or the backup cam issue yet. If I can get the audio stabilized (which may have nothing to do with the head unit) and get the backup camera to engage consistently, this unit will get a 5 star rating.
Pros: Easy navigation. Good audio quality. Apple CarPlay great for using navigation. Looks great in the dash.
Cons: Slow boot up. Warning message every time it starts.

Pioneer DMH-2660 NEX
Crutchfield customer from Saint Paul, MN on 12/14/2020
2012 Subaru Impreza WRX
I bought this radio as I wanted something without turn knows, sleek design and had the capability to use Apple carplay and/or Android auto. This fit the bill! Can't say enough about Crutchfield's customer service and technical support and giving buyers the option to wire up your harness before shipping. Radio sounds and looks great. Bunch of adjustability. Minor gripe is for Android users will need to have a cable that works with Android auto. The cable you charge your phone with won't work with the app.
Pros: Android auto and Apple carplay. As the ability to display moving map for directions on the screen.
Cons: Android user needs an approved Android auto cable to function properly.

Excellent Budget CarPlay
Crutchfield customer from Scottsdale, AZ on 11/9/2020
2014 Mazda CX-5
The screen has some glare issues, and the "illumination" dimmer for when you turn on the headlights doesn't quite do what I think it should, but for the price this is one of the best CarPlay-enabled head units I've tried. I'm especially happy that the unit itself provides options to control the music/audio volume separately from the "Guidance" volume from Siri/Waze.

Crutchfield customer from Lynnfield, MA on 11/8/2020
2011 Honda Element
I had three requirements when shopping for a head unit for my Honda Element. 1. It needed HD Radio as I like the clarity it provides. 2. It needed bluetooth for phone calls and to stream music. 3. A screen for a backup camera that I was adding. HD Radio works awesome. Pioneer tuners have always been the best in my experience. Bluetooth works great for streaming audio. Phone calls are not great, the provided microphone picks up all the noise. This is the only reason the radio gets 4 stars instead of 5. The screen works great with my backup camera. No issues there. Android Auto is a plus. Amazon music does have an issue that it sometimes doesn't play the song you asked for. There are a few other music apps that don't seem to have this issue. It is wired Android Auto but that is ok because the radio does charge at the same time. Google maps in the dash is also a bonus and it works great.

Pioneer not as I remember
Crutchfield customer from Cape Coral, FL on 10/28/2020
2013 Ford F-150 FX2
First off I'll say Crutchfield customer service is fantastic. Now on to this head unit. It takes a while to load, Bluetooth calls seem to only work about 50% of the time for me, I did not care for the crossover menus. To do an active front stage you have to set a setting that is only available on start up and that function is called -"network mode" Some menus are grayed out until parking brake is applied. The problem is it is hard to tell what items are grayed out due to parking brake or grayed out for other reasons. A message saying "apply parking brake to use this feature would be a help. Remote does not work. Now on to the good.. Sound quality is fine, it is very sleek and looks good in the dash, installation was a breeze, CarPlay works well for music and nav.

Mixed Results
Crutchfield customer from Clayton, NC on 10/26/2020
2013 Ford E Series
We purchased this unit for the Android Auto features, back up camera input, and digital radio. Based on the supposed screen shots they show for the unit, it looked like it should be intuitive to use. The reality is that the buttons and touch screen are not clear as to their function. After reading the 128 page manual we realized that they have standard functions as well as "long push" functions. They are tough to get used to using. The touch screen layout is clunky and not intuitive. The supposed screen shot (used as the primary picture for this unit) is not even the actual layout for the screen. That layout would be awesome! In stead, the screen is cluttered and not well organized. The display is dim and if the sun is bright, even if not directly on it, it is too dim to see. The back up camera function works well and is very clear. The back up lines work well and can be adjusted to compensate if the camera is mounted off center as ours had to be. The Android Auto is a disaster. When it connects, the features available on the radio screen can not be used on the phone. But, they are so limited and sloppy on the display that it is so frustrating to try to use. The work around for directions is to start the directions on the phone and then plug it in to the radio. Not having prior experience with Android Auto, this one could be partially to blame on it. Pioneer has been doing this a while and we expected so much more; especially for this price.
Pros: Sounds is good and clear. Equalizer gives great control. Install was straight forward. Digital Radio is crystal clear.
Cons: Buttons and user interface are horrible and not in any way intuitive. Screen shot used in advertising is not actual. Screen is very dim and washes out if you try to increase the brightness. Very under developed for the price point.

Excellent Head Unit with one exception
Crutchfield customer from Dallas, TX on 10/22/2020
I have had it installed in a Honda CRV EXL for about a week. So far it has worked beautifully. With stock speakers, it is far better than the factory "premium" sound. The capacitive screen is very responsive and the visual clarity is excellent. The only issue I found that cost a star was Pioneer's inclusion of Weblink. It is effectively worthless. Crutchfield's tech service was excellent. Even with some error (or omissions) found in the WireGuide, I was able to get a difficult installation completed.
Pros: Excellent stereo sound quality, very good visuals, very fast touch response (important for a car)
Cons: Weblink is a waste of resources, slow and of limited use. For automobile use (eyes on the road) it could really use a dedicated mute button.

Underrated deck!
Crutchfield customer from Streamwood, IL on 10/20/2020
If you are on the fence about this one, go ahead and buy this one! I was going to originally buy the kenwood 706s but it ended up being out of stock, the 2660nex was available and was similarly equipped. 1st it has every feature you could ask for this side of a $700 deck. (It only lacks wireless android auto ,Apple car play, and a HD screen) If you look for reviews on other sites, you will find that this deck is underrated in power and interactive speed. The screen is just as fast and responsive as your phone! I really like the time alignment and listening position adjustability, it makes it possible to get the sound closer to what you're looking for. Android auto is seamless. I like this unit more and more every time I use it. I've found very few cons; the screen size is smaller than I would like, but thats not exclusive to this deck, just a double din issue. The other issue is I haven't found a way to save more than 2 user defined presets on the equalizer. Installation was difficult in my 2016 dodge grand caravan, although its not a short depth unit like the Kenwood 706s or Alpine ilx 650, its no longer than a full size deck. The hard part of the install is exclusive to my vehicle. There is a bracket that has to be cut and or bent to allow enough clearance to push the receiver all the way in, I started with a hack saw, and ended up getting a Rigid multi tool saw blade to cut. That also was the wrong tool to use!
Pros: Capacitive touch, fastest, most responsive interface I've seen! Exceptional value! Underrated power! All the connections you need! It's fast!
Cons: Only 2 user eq presets, full size chassis for deck without disk palayer.

Pioneer DMH-2660NEX
Crutchfield customer from Chula Vista, CA on 10/19/2020
2006 Toyota Highlander
This was my first time installing a car radio and first experience with Apple CarPlay. I did a good amount of research before my purchase and learned that Pioneer makes great products. There aren't a lot of reviews on the 2660 yet but there was enough for me to make an educated decision. I was stuck between the Pioneer 2550 and the 2660 and chose the 2660 because it is newer and is faster (no lag). I didn't need the DVD player on the 2550 and liked how the entire screen is touch on the 2660. I was very confused during the install because of how many wires there were that needed to be connected together. I was emailed directions but because of the amount of different pages and links I got a little confused. Crutchfield's tech support was incredibly responsive and helpful and nearly walked me through everything. Tech support quickly cleared up the confusion I had. I am really enjoying the Pioneer 2660 NEX because of how there isn't any lag, the Bluetooth is fast, and the Apple CarPlay works great.

Great uint
Jaymes from Birmingham, AL on 10/19/2020
2001 Toyota Echo
PROS: Very good unit. I like the absence of the CD. Who plays CDs anymore anyways? More space on the face for screen. Screen feels like glass unlike the AVX-3700 this replaced. That was a good unit too, but this is better. I hated the way the mute worked on that unit. Once the mute option disappeared off the screen, you had to turn the volume back up from 0. This is fixed on this unit. Sound is good, the interface is just an improved version of the AVX which is fine with me. Apple Car Play is AMAZING!! So convenient. Don't need their ridiculously expensive add on navigation unit. Just use your phone. Balancing the nav/music balance on screen is great too. Cons: The AVX would tell me the bluetooth connection failed which was nice if I forgot my phone. Can't tell you how many times that saved me. It appears that they removed that prompt. Bummer. Radio failed to boot once too. Had to turn it off for 30 seconds and then it seemed ok. Satellite radio works about like it did on the old unit, but it defaults to live instead of staying on "replay" which is what I use basically every day which annoys me, but no big deal. Wish Pioneer would come up with simple volume controls like the JVC where you can simply spin your finger on the screen to turn up or down the volume. Minor gripe. Overall? I cannot complain about it. It's priced fairly and sounds good. Install took me 15 minutes since I stuck with Pioneer! Woot. Buy this. You won't regret it.
Pros: Glass face Easy interface Good Sound APPLE CAR PLAY!! Auto dimmer isn't too dim at night unlike old unit Easy controls Mute issue from prior unit is fixed
Cons: Bluetooth failed to connect message removed...UGH! Satellite radio defaults to "live" instead of last used setting. No secondary volume control with gestures on screen.

Will fit in an 95 C1500
Crutchfield customer from Cherryvale, KS on 10/19/2020
1995 Chevrolet C Series
So far so good. Tons of features. Looks great. I like the capacitive touch screen, much better than resistive film type screens. I put it in a 1995 Chevy truck and it was a squeeze. It does fit though. For those wanting to do this, know that you have to slide the radio out a bit to be flush with the dash kit. This is good news though because that only helps by giving a bit more room for the cables.
Pros: Tons of features Great screen CarPlay is awesome
Cons: Tight fit

Huge Upgrade for 01 Accord
Trace from Cedar Park, TX on 10/17/2020
2001 Honda Accord
Really nice unit. Brought my 01 Honda Accord into this decade. I shopped for a month or so before deciding on this unit. Sound quality is great with just the built in amp. Menus are easy to use and the capacitive touchscreen is super responsive. Apple CarPlay works flawlessly. I run Waze whenever I'm driving, whether navigating or not. It takes about 30 seconds for the unit to boot up when the car is started, but the backup camera seems to bypass the boot sequence and turns on immediately. The installation kit, pigtail, and steering wheel controls adaptor that Crutchfield recommended and included at discounted prices worked perfectly. I couldn't believe how easy the steering wheel controls were to integrate - just hook up power, ground, the signal from the steering wheel on the car side of the factory stereo plug, and plug the 3.5mm headphone jack into the back of the receiver. The ASWC-1 adaptor senses the car and the new receiver's I/O, and programs itself. I've installed dozens of car stereos over the years, but was intimidated by the steering wheel controls since I had never done it before. I haven't needed to play a CD/DVD in close to a decade, and I was only considering mechless units. I find it surprising that so many receivers still have that feature. The only small complaint I have is that the unit seems to switch off the HD radio when a phone is plugged in. I would prefer it keep playing music from that source until I change it.

Lots of features and room for improvement
Eddie from COAMO, PR on 10/5/2020
2009 Hyundai Sonata
This head unit is very good. I installed it about 4 weeks ago and still haven't figured out everything about it yet. Like I said, the unit is very good but it has so much room for improvement. Like for example a second USB port so you don't have to unplug a USB flash drive in order to plug in your phone to listen Spotify. Also, it takes a considerable long time to boot up, but I guess that's part of today's radios nature. I went to Pioneer's website to get more information about its features and whatnot and that have it listed as a "limited" unit. I wonder what they're referring to. Overall a very good head unit.
Pros: Lots of features. HD radio. 13 band eq.
Cons: Only one USB port.

I can't be more impressed with this unit after my abysmal experience with JVC's KW-M560BT. A crisp, responsive touchscreen, great feature set, intuitive settings menu, and of course, excellent sound.

Special thanks to Travis from service for helping me pick this one out.

Best unit in this price range
Crutchfield customer from Boulder, CO on 9/28/2020
This unit has everything you need if you don't use disc-based media or need built-in navigation. I chose this one over the similar Alpine model, ILX-650, because the extra features this unit has are worth just $45 more. After about a week of using it I have to say it's great and I am very happy with it. The screen is very responsive and the menus are intuitive. I can't make a call on sound quality yet. I'm still using the factory speakers. Excited to see what kind of sound improvement I get when I replace them this week!
Pros: Great screen. Intuitive menus. HD Radio.
Cons: The remote must be a universal remote for all Pioneer units. Not all of the function on the included remote work with this unit. But at least you get something.

Great upgrade for my 2006 Toyota Tacoma
Crutchfield customer from Charlestown, IN on 9/27/2020
After reading through a ton of reviews, I decided to go with the PioneerDMH-2660NEX. What a great upgrade, even with using 14 year old factory speakers. Really happy with the ability to have Apple CarPlay in my Tacoma. Highly suggest purchasing the harness service - what a time saver!
Pros: Easy install, especially with the harness service. Look great and sounds even better. UI is really intuitive and easy to use.
Cons: The only con I have, which I knew going in, is the lack of a volume knob. Will take some getting used to but that is on me, not the radio.

Great head unit. It's fast and responsive, and sounds great in my 2012 Rav4. It's a huge improvement on the stock radio/cd I replaced. Install wiring was pretty straightforward even though it has been probably 15 years since I've done an install. I did run into issues mounting, but that's not a knock on the head unit, it's more my car and the brackets/dash kit (see my other review for that piece). I've been using the new unit for a couple of weeks and have had no issues. I'm really happy with this purchase!

Very Nice Head Unit
Crutchfield customer from Pacific, MO on 9/14/2020
2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Very nice radio with great features. Put this in my 07 Camry Hybrid with factory speakers and amp and the sound is much better than the factory radio. There is a lot of customization available and will take some time to get everything adjusted just as I want.

I can't say enough about how happy I am with this unit. I added the Maestro and they are an amazing team. There are so many controls and features. The display is great, super easy to use too. The sound is fantastic, and again there are fantastic options. I highly recommend this stereo, as it has upgraded my car big time.

Simple enough
Crutchfield customer from Houston, TX on 9/13/2020
2002 Dodge Ram 2500
Simple enough unit so is not too expensive but has features I need such as Apple Play, HD Tuner, touch screen. No need for built in navigation if you use google maps on your phone and Apple Play to display the map. I purchased a backup camera and all works well. The instructions were adequate.
Pros: The unit comes with the right hardware, assuming your dash is in good shape. See "cons" comment.
Cons: Crutchfield assumes our old 2002 Dodge Rams have an intact dash. Those old trucks are notorious for having disintegrating dash boards. It's common on 2nd generation Dodge Rams. The plastic components will break apart in your hands. There is no infrastructure left in the dash to use the brackets Crutchfield sends as an install kit. I needed a metal double din sleeve and had to make my own brackets to secure the sleeve to the only metal braces in the back of the dash area.

Some minor questionable design choices (weblink feels outdated, since theres no nav or dvd why does parking brake lock need to be on to adjust some basic settings) but overall love this low priced carplay capable head unit - great sound, easy install, iphone apps all work as expected. In a 2010 subaru outback the double din kit is recessed a bit and the volume control is on the lower left, not easy to reach and slightly out of view

Very impressed with this unit. All these features and at a great price. Crutchfield made it easy to install with pre-wired cables and adapter. The installation in my 2010 Toyota Avalon looks factory. I only had one issue after installation but a quick call to Crutchfield tech support solved my issue. I also installed a backup camera and it works flawlessly with this unit.
Pros: Great price for all the features. Straight forward installation with factory cable adapters. Love the factory look. Apple carplay is the bomb. Sound quality with the factory amp and speakers is awesome.
Cons: A little slow to boot up after starting the car but otherwise, no complaints.

I installed this in my 2014 Mazda CX5 last month and have been very happy with the results. I have limited experience with other models, but this unit is incredibly responsive and the touchscreen feels great. I've realized after buying this that the integrated bluetoooth spotify option is super useful in short trips where I don't want to plug in my phone. I'd definitely recommend this product.
Pros: Fast start-up time, carplay, very customizable interface
Cons: Lowish screen resolution, included USB cable was a little too short to easily reach my center console.

Crutchfield customer from Boston, MA on 9/8/2020
2008 Mazda MX5
Pros: Good sound and nice display. Quick responding menus without lag, even when using steering wheel controls. The menus also give you a quick and easy way to navigate folders in a USB drive so you don't have to click "next" or "previous" buttons a zillion times to find a song. You can configure the screens layouts to some extent. Cons: Only one USB port and it only supports one connection at a time (unit shows an error if you try to connect a USB hub and the manual says they are not supported). This means you can have a phone connected *OR* a USB drive connected but not both at the same time and having to switch back and forth is annoying.

An absolutely wonderful product. I am so happy and impressed with this Pioneer - the NEX system has amazing functionality, the audio sound is great, and the Apple Car Play integration is stellar. This looks like a factory unit, thanks to having no chrome or exterior buttons. The bluetooth phone functionality is also superb, people on the other end of the line often don't know I'm driving. The interfaces are easy to use, and very intuitive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Pros: Good looking - like factory Easy to use Great functionality Fast start-up

All About the BASS
Crutchfield customer from Long Beach, CA on 8/28/2020
Great sound quality. The built in amp really brings my aftermarket speakers to life. Better than the Sony and a chinese head unit I had which could barely give any life to my speakers. The one thing I dislike is that their is a parking brake line that needs to be connected in order to use Android Auto. That, I hate because I love Android Auto and I have been unable to use it. At least until I can find a way to bypass the brake wire
Pros: Fantastic sound quality and bass with built in amp. No need for an external amp.
Cons: Brake line needs to be wired to use all stereo functions

Sounds good, easy to hook up with the Maestro module and interface harness. Some of the menus are cumbersome to access and unit is a bit buggy. Sometimes it turns on right away, sometimes there is a 30 second to 1 minute delay. Also, sometimes carplay starts right away, other times I have to disconnect and reconnect or cycle power off and on.
Pros: Easy hook up,
Cons: Needs more power, buggy software and clunky menus.

Perfect match for my Miata!
Crutchfield customer from Clayton, NC on 8/24/2020
2015 Mazda MX5
This was my first experience installing an aftermarket head unit, though not the first modification on my 2015 Miata (with Bose system). The Pioneer itself is great, with a very effective increase in sound quality, lots of customization options, and so far, flawless Android Auto integration. I replaced the DC input in the car with a USB and AUX port, and added a backup camera. Because I wear subscription sunglasses, the screen is a bit "moire-ed" but still visible. And even with the top down, still very visible. Some tips: make pigtails for the line converter, and move it out of the way. Use the cloth tape for wire managment, that was very nice and handy. Take your time, and ask questions! Otherwise, very pleased with the unit so far, and definitely impressed with Crutchfield customer service!
Pros: Pros: great sound, features, but best of all was the fantastic technical support I got to help answer quite a few questions I had (along with some web searches - though, with current knowledge, I could do it in one day) about a few key issues.
Cons: Cons: it's tight in the area it had to go into, and that was the hardest part of the whole installation. Two things I might have done in retrospect: install longer pigtails to enable moving the Scosche line converter further from the unit, or saving up for the more expensive next step up Pioneer, which is shallow mount, and has wireless Android Auto. And getting a custom pic from a USB drive was exceedingly difficult. The only thing that worked was copying and pasting an image from online!

Would by again.

BERNARDINO from WINSTED on 8/19/2020
2018 Toyota C-HR
After a few weeks of deliberation I finally settled on the 2660NEX and I'm happy with my choice. I was looking at Kenwoods in the same price range and the Alpine ILX-W650 but Pioneer had the most bang for the buck and checked most of the things off on my wish list. Capacitive touch screen, iDataLink compatibility for the future, customizable colors for the controls, and a decent home screen layout. The sound is great even with just the stock speakers in my Toyota C-HR which I plan to upgrade sometime in the future along with adding a amp and subwoofer in 5 channel config. It's plenty loud at around 15-20 for volume which is much better than my stock radio was or even the Android radio I had in my previous car. I'm rather pleased with that. I was accustomed to having a volume knob before but that meant having to settle for a smaller screen which I wasn't willing to compromise on but I'm getting used to the capacitive touch controls and it's not a issue like I thought it would be. It's a great radio. Buy it

Excellent value
Crutchfield customer from Riegelsville, PA on 8/18/2020
2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I was going for a trusted brand without breaking the bank, and this Pioneer model has everything I need. Even for someone North of 60 years old like me, the display is easy to read once you familiarize yourself with the basic function touch keys. The USB connection allowed for instant pairing with my phone, so Google Maps, my Spotify and hands-free phone service are no problem. The install kit was definitely worth it, thank you Crutchfield, although personally I opted to have a pro install it for me. Overall, I am very happy with this unit.
Pros: Nice layout, good touch screen. Great reception, instant Bluetooth connection and phone pairing. Sounds good even in a noisier vehicle like my Wrangler.
Cons: The left vertical line of touch screen buttons (from the power button down) a bit hard to read until you are familiar with the functions.

Deep and intuitive!
Crutchfield customer from Ypsilanti, MI on 8/17/2020
2012 Chevrolet Cruze
This head unit is relatively responsive and looks great! The capacitive touch screen feels fabulous and responds snappily to just about any input. The occasional delay is barely noticeable and certainly doesn't affect operation. I've been impressed by the flexibility of functionality in this unit, from CarPlay to Android Auto to Bluetooth streaming. It works phenomenally with the iDatalink Maestro RR, which let me keep the steering wheel controls (and configure them however I like!) and warning beeps and chimes. The included Bluetooth mic also works great and makes the infotainment experience in my care 10x better than Chevrolet's stock system. For the price, this is a fabulous unit. Though having wireless CarPlay/AndroidAuto would be nice, I don't miss it!
Pros: - Snappy, deep, customizable interface - CarPlay & Android Auto capable - Great value for money - Sub-HD screen still looks great in an infotainment stack - Controls are intuitive and unintrusive - Excellent Maestro compatibility
Cons: - Full depth unit may struggle to fit in some vehicles, especially with a Maestro unit - Occasional slowdowns outside of the CarPlay interface

Great, until it stopped working -- HONDA FIT EX OWNERS, PLEASE READ!
J Scott from Valley Village, CA on 8/3/2020
2016 Honda Fit EX
I installed this into a 2016 Honda Fit EX because I wanted to futureproof my radio. A few things you Fit owners should know: 1. These Pioneer units can't use Honda's LaneWatch (passenger-side) camera. You can connect it, you can also bring it up manually by digging through the Pioneer menu, but it won't trigger when you use the turn signal. I probably would've picked a different unit if I'd known this in advance (check out the Kenwoods). 2. Head unit's screen size is a little too small for the Metra universal dash kit it comes with, which means you'll have about a 1/4 inch gap to deal with. Might be a problem, depending on your level of OCD. 3. The backup camera gets weirdly warped, diminishing its usefulness. Despite these issues, I actually really liked the unit -- UI was super-snappy, Android Auto's amazing, sound was a big upgrade, ESPECIALLY HD Radio. So why only 2 stars? Sadly, after a month of ownership, the radio started throwing up a blank menu screen that couldn't be dismissed, which broke voice control and prevented me from interfacing with anything -- I could cycle back to another screen by manually pressing a button, but the blank menu would immediately return. Tried disconnecting my phone, resetting factory settings... Still kept happening. Finally, halfway into a road trip, the backup camera went kaput, and that was enough for me to send it back. Crutchfield was aces through the whole process, so I'm grateful to their customer service... Maybe I got a lemon.
Pros: Snappy interface, Android Auto is amazing, big sound upgrade (especially HD Radio)
Cons: Lost some (Honda-specific) functionality, dash kit didn't fit right, stopped working after a month

2007 GMC Sierra 2500/3500
Installation was straight forward, though had a faulty PAC-RP5 GM11 interface unit which confused the initial install attempt, but Crutchfield quickly replaced with a good unit. The required radio chassis modification only requires removing the lower mid section of the original plastic holder, no metal cutting. The responsive touch screen is bright and clear. The unit provides a huge audio upgrade driving the factory Bose amp/speakers and the added CarPlay brings this old truck up to date. Also added a backup camera which integrated easily and operates well.
Pros: Big sound upgrade, clear responsive screen, excellent fit and finish, CarPlay, HD Radio
Cons: Requires cutting of original plastic radio holder

This review is after using it daily for 1 week. Installation was straightforward and the Metra install kit matched my dash well. The touchscreen also works well, and so far fingerprints have not been a problem. The display is bright enough to be easily readable in midday Florida sun with convertible top down. My only complaint(minor) is that the volume controls are not prominent (lower left of the border), although you can also control volume while in an app via a virtual slide at the bottom of the screen. I would definitely purchase again.
Pros: very versatile, lots of features, bright display, clean lines
Cons: Volume controls not prominent

Chad from Garland, TX on 7/21/2020
2009 Ford Mustang
Bought this with the iDatalink and extra XM radio module. The harness is a bunch of wires on two connectors that will need to be soldered together to create the actual harness. Make sure you can tell colors. That was the most painful part. iDatalink did provide the pass-through with the old XM radio, but the old XM radio did not have a ton of features as compared to the new one, so if you really use it, plan to buy the extra module. I can still select the old XM vs the new XM from the pull downs. Also, don't plan to get a credit since the car already has an XM radio and that is an exception they take. The park brake cable through the iDatalink does not work and I had to wire it outside of the iDatalink. Backup and front cameras work well, just need to make sure to buy one that is for the full screen size. Most are pillbox and will stretch to fit. Last is the radio only supports 2.0 channel audio. Playing a movie in 5.1 audio will have no sound. This is through USB thumbdrive and the cell phone. Car features display adds RPM, speed, fuel gauge, fuel efficiency, low tire pressure, open car doors and a number of other gauges. That was very nice. Works as expected with iPhone and Android apps. Only limitation so far is the movies need to be stereo and not more than 2 channel. Only replaced the radio and not the speakers or amplifiers. Last thing is the boot time is slow (20-30 seconds), but once it is up, it works fine.
Pros: Really is an amazing device. HD radio works well. Mic support for phone works great... like "Go to home depot". I like the gauge setup. There are 5 gauges on the display with 2 setups available. The number gauge types are limiting, but the major ones are present.
Cons: Had to dremel the dash kit, otherwise radio sinks 1/4 inch into the dash. Park brake does not work through iDatalink. Does not play movies with 5.1 channel audio (no sound). Backup and front cameras are stretched to width of screen. Most cameras are not wide enough to fit the screen normally.

Pioneer DMH-2660NEX
Crutchfield customer from Katy, TX on 7/6/2020
1996 Ford Explorer
I really give it 4.5 but you don't let me. I still have a good bit to learn. But I self installed the head unit with additional inputs for satellite radio, aux input cable via mini headphone jack, aux input cable via usb, microphone, and rear view camera. I was able to get all inputs confirmed working and connect phone blue tooth without reading any operating instructions (i did read the installation instructions) . The display is very clear. I am very happy with the equalizer options which was one thing I really did not study before purchasing so that was better than expected. I put this in my 96 ford explorer and I feel like it does everything that any of my friends' new vehicles will do. It had an appx 2001 good sounding alpine stereo but feels like a different vehicle now. The display looks much nicer in the dash than the previous more .
Pros: I think the value was very extremely good. Numerous inputs all work well. Very pleased with the display. Very pleased with the appearance in my vehicle.
Cons: I find myself changing the volume a lot and changing volume via touchscreen seems a little slow (compared to my old rotary volume knob.) It does have what I would call volume adjustments per input in addition to the main volume control (kind of like a multiplier to manually even the inputs out.) I may find finer tuning of these multipliers may help a little but I don't think that his will help as much as I would like. I will say that only one con from me is pretty freaking good.

Great replacement for the outdated deck in my Mustang! Apple Carplay works like a charm! Had a little trouble with the install but Crutchfield support was able to talk me through the issue within 5 minutes! Their install instructions made the whole process easy and I was able to install within 2 hours.
Pros: Great customization of the EQ and sound control.
Cons: Haven't found an easy brightness adjustment yet

Nice stereo for the money! Lots of cool features, and the sound quality is light years ahead of the Jeep factory head unit. The overall functionality is excellent in all areas. Apple car play is a great feature and really makes phone integration and talking hands free an enjoyable and safe experience. One of the best upgrades I have made to my Jeep!
Pros: Sounds quality Apple Car Play Phone integration and sound quality of calls Ease of installation

I used the hands-free button on my steering wheel to pull up Siri on CarPlay so that I could set a reminder to leave this review when I got home - and it all worked perfectly! Which is pretty much my experience with everything about this head unit. It's quick and responsive, sound quality is great, both Bluetooth and CarPlay work great, and installation was relatively easy! I have literally never worked on anything with my car, and I was able to install it using only the resources provided through Crutchfield (and one call to their customer support, which was also great). 10/10 experience all-around.

Daniel from PRIOR LAKE, MN on 6/8/2020
First time buying a touch screen aftermarket radio. I used this to replace the factory base touch radio in my 2020 camry TRD. i ordered Crutchfield's readyharness service and everything works as expected. Interface is nice and responsive. So far, this is exactly what i wanted.
Pros: Fast, "easy" install if you get the wiring harness taken care of. Sounds great, lots of customization. Has a port for back up camera, which works flawlessly with my car. ( With adapter harness)
Cons: Screen resolution isn't the greatest, at least in android auto. Came in demo mode, which confused me for a bit. Mounting holes on the side are confusing. There are M, N and T's marking the holes, but there seems to be no explanation?

Good Radio with Questionable Design
Crutchfield customer from Jacksonville, FL on 6/7/2020
2013 Subaru BRZ
I want to love this receiver so bad, since it has the responsiveness and sound quality that keeps me coming back... However, there are some questionable design desicions that Pioneer is making with their new receivers that make it hard for you to perform basic functions. First of all, there are no hard buttons on this unit, so performing basic tasks require very precise touches. I can no longer turn the volume up and down just by feel. Zero tactile feel. Also, the Back/Forward track buttons you would expect to have a dedicated spot have been replaced with various menu buttons. Not sure what they are thinking with that. On top of all of that, the capacitive side buttons are extremely hard so see during the day, so you cant even see where you need to touch. Overall, a mixed bag. I feel like Pioneer just dropped the ball on ergonomics with this newest line of receivers, basic functions of the receiver are hard to perform when driving...but sound quality is amaxing. The touch scrren is super fast and responsive throughout the UI, including Apple Carplay. With all that said, this will probably go back for another Pioneer with some actual hard buttons.
Pros: Super fast Capacitive Touch Screen Lightweight Sound Quality Pioneer is the only company that im aware of who has an auto EQ/time alignment Flush face adds to the clean look of the install
Cons: Lots of Glare Non HD Resolution No physical buttons No Back/Skip Track Buttons Side Buttons are extremely dim during the day

Done with other brands, Pioneer or nothing.
Samuel from ALEXANDRIA, VA on 6/7/2020
2005 Ford Crown Victoria
This Pioneer has exceeded all expectations. It boots fast, and the touch screen is very responsive. Well thought out menus and settings make for a pleasing experience. Customization of menus, colors, etc, is a very nice touch. This improved the audio quality of my factory speakers greatly, also. Zero issues with Android auto, either. Would highly recommend!
Pros: Responsive, sleek design, great quality.
Cons: Resolution of screen could be better , but not a deal breaker at all.

Very good. Great features at a great price
Crutchfield customer from South Easton, MA on 6/5/2020
2001 Honda Accord
Very feature rich for the price. Great performance as well. Easily integrated into my car's wheel controls using optional interface. The ONLY thing keeping it from getting 5 stars, like virtually ALL units, is a dedicated MUTE button! Having the main buttons on the left side, available all the time, the volume controls are not quick to mute the sound when needed. I MISS having a dedicated mute button on my (very) old CD player. I could just whack the the corner to mute all sound. I wish the radio presets would go bank to bank. Nice looking screen. Bluetooth works great. Handfree works great. Radio and HD radio works great as well. Android Auto. I can't wait for it to be ready for prime time. WHEN it works, it is slow and very light on the features. Waze works the best. Amazon music barely works well. Poweramp works well. I would assume most of the performance issue is with my phone (LG V20) . 90%of the time it does not connect. I have to reboot my phone and start the car with the phone plugged in, and maybe it will connect. Again, this is likely a problem with my phone. My Samsung phones connect fast and easy. I do like the idea of Android Auto. Wish there were more apps, and the apps that exist worked better. Waze works the best of the apps I have installed. Overall I do love the unit. Wish it were a bit more fine tuned. Every time I need to quickly lower the volume, I miss hitting the vol down button.. and c
Pros: great screen. feature rich. android auto.flexible options. easy install.
Cons: hard to find vol down button. Missing mute button.

It is a amazing car play system, it's fairly easy to get used to all the menus. The only downside is that the web link menu is that you can't download any app its only select few. But the customer service here is superb they walked me through every wire I needed and didn't need and helped me with the entire installation set up.
Pros: makes factory audio better with built in equalizer makes you feel safer when driving great service customizable
Cons: doesn't have volume knob so increasing sound is by touch doesn't use in car mic if you have one

Runs HOT, but it's still a good unit.
Kyle from OXNARD, CA on 6/2/2020
2010 Toyota RAV4
Overall, I am very satisfied with this unit. The capacitive touchscreen is really nice and the unit is very responsive to inputs. I mainly got this for CarPlay and the capacitive touch, but the HD radio is a nice feature to have and bluetooth streaming and calls sound good. Crossover settings really helped me adjust my speakers to my liking and made it easy for an amateur like myself. Still waiting to hear back from Pioneer, but this thing runs HOT. I checked my connections and felt the back of the unit after playing music and this thing was too hot to touch for more than 3 seconds. That being said, this has never overheated or gone into protection mode (if there is one). There is a bit of delay when connecting to CarPlay and I found a bug where connecting during a call will cause my screen to go black until disconnected. I am still using an iPhone 6s so the phone may just be slow. The backup camera guidelines do not stay on so I have to turn them on every time I shift to reverse; it's not a deal breaker, just a pet peeve. The rear USB and AUX may also be an issue for some. I found a Toyota USB adapter that fits in an empty switch slot so it worked out for me. I would give this 3.5 stars as is. However, most of the issues I have are, hopefully, normal with the heat or can be solved with a fimware update so I would easily recommend this.
Pros: Capacitive touch, plenty of power for me, has all the features I need
Cons: A little buggy, runs very hot, backup camera lines do not stay on, rear USB and AUX may be an issue.

A+ all the way around!
Crutchfield customer from Newport, KY on 6/1/2020
This is exactly what I was looking for. It's a very responsive head unit. IMMEDIATELY made a huge difference in the quality of sound that was coming out of my 13 year old factory speakers. Android auto works well, Spotify, maps everything is beautiful. Hooked the microphone up so I can use calls and it's great. Nothing bad to say about this unit. I can not say enough about the customer service I was provided with by my guy ACE. I've never had such a good conversation while on the phone with a customer service rep. He explained how speakers, amps and subs all work together in more detail for me and related it to my profession of being in a kitchen and it worked flawlessly. Great experience here!

Best unit you can buy for wired Car Play
Crutchfield customer from Salt Lake City, UT on 6/1/2020
2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis Cab
Really great unit so far. Had it installed for about three weeks so far and Im really happy with it. I was considering some of their more expensive wireless airplay options, but landed on this for the price and retaining many of the features. My biggest concern was the screen touch type, not being capacitive. But after using unit for over three weeks im 100% satisfied with the touchscreen. It's really responsive and while it doesnt do multi-touch, there really isn't a need to. The CarPlay connection is fast (as compared to wireless especially) and the controls are intuitive and easy to learn where things are. Plus, it really looks great just being a flat black screen. Again, was worried about no real hard buttons but now I think its an advantage. Direct drop in for Mercedes Sprinter!
Pros: car play is fast, looks great, easy to use, tons of features
Cons: I want the bluetooth range to be higher for an upgraded head unit. This one has the same exact range as my stock Sprinter unit.

Love It!!
Crutchfield customer from Revere, MA on 6/1/2020
2007 Cadillac CTS
It took me 3 stubborn years of revolving car audio products (subwoofers, amps, loc's, eq's, dsp's, line drivers, bt interfaces, component speakers, all new wiring) in my Cadillac CTS before I finally gave in and changed the headunit MAAAAAN I SHOULD'VE JUST DONE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING! It literally made half my equipment obsolete (in a good way). I was able to remove all the unnecessary equipment from the equation and was able to focus more on finely tuning the important stuff and made for a much cleaner, more organized install. I'm a bit obsessive with what I do so I researched until my head was gonna explode. I wanted to find a perfect-for-me balance of quality,reputation, features, expandability, and value. Pioneer seemed to be the majority consensus. And the NEX series was a must. The DMH-2660NEX was one of their newest models in that line so I figured that would alleviate most of any would-be glitches. This thing is awesome. Clean signal, beautiful UI, & plenty of inputs. I always loved my install through every phase of it, but this headunit took it to the next level for me as I now have the powerful audio I've had but now it's cleaner, easily adjustable, and my main reason for this addition... tons of multimedia expandability. I can't get into the how, but anyone smart with the Google searching can find how to add these: *screen mirroring from phone ?? *Chromecast Stadia Edition ?? *front + rear cameras ??
Pros: Powerful Full of options Lots of expandability Very nice looking UI Fast UI (some of you will appreciate that)
Cons: The only things I would have changed in a perfect world: 1) Wireless AndroidAuto would've been nice 2) An HD or 4K screen would've been even nicer due to all my video media 3) The USB input on the back of the unit is very touchy ( according to online, its when connecting to newer USB-C devices ) Idk if this is a Pioneer thing, a NEX thing, or just an aftermarket HU to USB-C thing. I'm sure a solution will surface eventually, so its not a deal breaker for me since BT still works like a c

I didn't realize how annoyed I would be with this stereo having a volume button instead of a knob that I can turn.

Fantastic Radio, Fantastic experience.
Crutchfield customer from Emerado, ND on 5/28/2020
I absolutely LOVE this radio! It does everything I hoped for and more. Excellent touch screen. Very configurable. You can rearrange nearly every button and menu. Android Auto works fantastic. Backup cameras work great. Andy at Crutchfield was fantastic at helping me decide what to get and making sure I had all the right extra parts. Overall a fantastic experience. Crutchfield is the place to get your car audio equipment. Don't even consider buying anywhere else. In peeking through the holes in the chassis it appears as though Pioneer could make the unit shorter. If it was an inch shorter I would not have needed to cut the plastic under my dash (2007 classic Silverado). No big deal though.
Pros: Easy install, Every feature imaginable, Great touch screen, Intuitive interface, Sounds fantastic, Excellent Bluetooth call quality.
Cons: Wish physical depth of radio was less for easier install.

Great update for my 2007 Nissan Frontier.
Crutchfield customer from Wake Forest, NC on 5/24/2020
2007 Nissan Frontier
This is a great head unit that has everything I need. Understand that the audio quality means less to me than the average using because I'm hard of hearing. But the integration of functions that allows me to use my phone seamlessly is great.
Pros:
Cons: Only had it for about 1 week so far. My only negative comment is that it seems to have developed a digital glitch that caused the backup camera not to switch the display. After trouble shooting and totally removing the head unit and then reconnecting everything, it worked again. I can only assume the head unit got locked up digitally and removing the power and applying a clean reboot, brought everything back to normal. Don't know if a firmware fix could correct this, but OEM should check.

Good power.
Crutchfield customer from Stockton, CA on 5/19/2020
2013 Jeep Patriot
Picked this up because of the HD tuner and capacitive touch screen. So far it's been pretty good. Has made the stock speakers sound 10 times better. Will soon add an amp and replace the stock speakers. Installed in a 2013 Jeep Patriot. One slight issue with one random shutdown/reboot when I plugged my phone into the USB. I hope it's not going to be a normal occurrence. It was at night so not likely a heat issue.
Pros: Plenty of clean power for a head unit.
Cons: One random shutdown and reboot. Volume buttons hard to use when driving, no steering wheel controls on my car though. No automatic light sensor, screen has to be pre set for night or day settings. Results to sometimes screen too bright at night.

Exactly what I wanted!
Crutchfield customer from Gardnerville, NV on 5/15/2020
This was the perfect upgrade! Everything works fabulous with this receiver, the touch screen works perfect. I was looking for something that had a wireless connection to my phone as well as CarPlay, and this unit had everything I was looking for. The microphone is also great, my hands free phone calls sound excellent. Installation was super easy as well with the dash kit.
Pros: Looks and sounds great, easy to set up and use, all the features you need!
Cons: I think this is just a symptom of a touch screen stereo, but the screen can get glares on when the sun hits it just right . As long as you keep the brightness up, it's not a problem though. I would imagine this issue may depend on the car you install it in and possibly the angle the deck is mounted. Definitely not something that is a deal breaker, but it could be for some

Installed this on my Nissan 370Z to replace the small single din previously installed. Very solid stereo for the price point. Took a gamble purchasing it because it was a new product and it didn't have too many reviews. However, I couldn't be happier with what I got. Wiring and installation was very easy. I have no complaints other than not being able to get this unit to recognize that I had a video input plugged in. It could be my fault but there isn't a ton of troubleshooting info out there on this stereo. Other than that I am very satisfied!

Crutchfield customer from El Monte, CA on 5/12/2020
2003 Honda Element
I bought it to replace an avh-w4400nex that always had glitches. Turns out that I might have to replace this one as well. The Bluetooth calls drop sometimes for no reason. If I'm on a call and I connect my phone for CarPlay the unit kicks my phone out and I can only hear the call on my phone. When I first turn on my car sometimes it'll auto-connect my phone via Bluetooth sometimes it won't. When it auto connects sometimes I can't adjust the volume until I turn off the unit or connect through carplay. Calls will sometimes go through Bluetooth when I answer then while driving and sometimes they go to my phone. It's set to use the bluetooth on the head unit. I know that it was just released so I'm giving them some time to make an update and see if that takes care of these problems. If not then it's going back and I'm going to pick up a kenwood unit. The capacitive screen is nice though and it's pretty responsive. I don't really like the touch controls. I much prefer the buttons on my last unit but it's not a deal breaker. This is vehicle specific but in my Honda Element the head unit sits 1/2" recessed inside the dash kit which makes it even more difficult to press the controls. I spoke to a Crutchfield representative about this and he said my only option was to modify the kit they provided myself because they don't sell another kit.
Pros: Screen looks nice. Not iPhone nice but better than the resistive screen it replaced.
Cons: A lot of glitches and connectivity issues.

Great Upgrade
Crutchfield customer from Bartlett, TN on 5/11/2020
Installed in a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. Lots of great features, fast start up and response from the touch screen, no lag switching to backup camera view. No problems with glare or reading the screen from sunlight. Very lightweight. Love this stereo!
Pros: Boots up fast, great touch screen response. HD Tuner
Cons: None I can think of.

Simplicity at its finest!
Thomas from Rockville, MD on 5/11/2020
2015 Subaru Forester
So, I am very much a utilitarian. I like things to just work. So, I have a Subaru Forester, that we use for practically everything; long road trips and short trips to the grocery store. However, my Subaru did not come with CarPlay. After using a rental car that had car-play I knew I needed it. So, being the person I am. I wanted something to just "work". Much like how apple software is; it just works. So, I know there are other headunits out there that have more bells and whistles. But, this one fit the bill perfectly. I took a chance on it because, its fairly new and not a lot of information out there. But, let me tell you . I am glad I did.
Pros: Just works. Plug in my phone and car-play pops right up. I am able to use Waze and Google Maps as well as Amazon Music CarPlay works great Responsive screen With the iData Maestro; I'm able to monitor a few temps and also see my "Performance" details. It has fun little features like 0-60, and 1/4 mile times and braking distance.
Cons: Cannot utilize Alexa through the headunit to control music. (Not a big deal) and I don't want to use Pioneer's "Alexa" app as it is garbage. Takes longer to turn down volume vs using a knob Does not fit with the Scosche Dash Kit.(I had to dremel the seam on the interior of the dash kit to physically let the headunit fit in the kit) not a huge deal but, for people that don't have a dremel or feel like cutting up a brand new trim piece, this could be a problem.

Great upgrade for 2003 Ford F-150
Crutchfield customer from San Francisco, CA on 5/6/2020
The unit was fairly easy to install. I had originally purchased an Alpine ilx-W650 due to its shallow depth, but decided to switch to the Pioneer and am glad that I did. The greater depth ended up not being an issue for installation. The unit looks great. I find it to be fast (some have complained about startup time, but I find it to be nearly as quick as factory units on modern cars), the capacitive touch screen very responsive, and so far the features--including CarPlay, XM and HD Radio, backup camera, etc.--to function well and as described.

I love this stereo! It's all screen, looks great and sounds great! Very responsive, the Maestro RR is so worth getting, I love retaining my steering wheel controls and the extras like seeing the exact tire pressure on each tire is so cool!
Pros: Very sleek and modern looking, all screen!
Cons: The final instal went pretty easy, but the maestro directions were a little lacking but tech support was their to help me out. Thank you all in tech support!

Crutchfield customer from Marietta, GA on 5/4/2020

This is the second Pioneer Carplay stereo I have installed in the past year and am very impressed with the features and responsiveness in these units. I definitely like the capacitive screen on this for both clarity and sensitivity. I wanted HD radio to take advantage of the high quality over the air stations, but this also gives me the option to stream my internet stations. I would definitely buy another Pioneer in the future.

Really nice head unit for the mid-range money I wanted to spend. The order process was great, needed help from Crutch and Aaron was fantastic. Had some follow up assistance during the install and that went well too. All the parts supplied fit well and looked great in my 1999 911. Thanks Crutchfield!

Nice Radio
Richard from Cape Coral FL on 5/2/2020
2013 Ford Mustang
Best unit for the price I could find really happy with it. Love android auto feature and the factory integration with maestro rr also the dash kit its amazingly oem look this is the way my car should have beeing from factory
Pros: For the price Its got capacitive touch screen, Android auto, apple car play, HD radio and idatalink compatible what more could you ask
Cons: Due to this radio being manufactured this year and so new I had a little issue with idatalink maestro retaining OEM Factory settings memory but flashing the RR firmware back to 3.7 took care of the problem so if you have a Mustang and get this radio make sure you don't use the latest 3.8 firmware update on the idatalink unless it's fixed and confirmed

2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn upgrade from 5" radio
Crutchfield customer from Valley Stream, NY on 4/28/2020
2015 Ram 1500
Easy install. Works great with steering wheel interface and Metra dash kit. Looks factory. Really happy with CarPlay. Should have gotten the maestro interface. factory options with oem radio no longer available. The ready harness service made install relatively easy and quick. The axxess steering wheel interface didn't recognize my car so had to go online to program manually. The mic cord was long enough to route up A pillar and across headliner. Was able to install mic above rear view mirror in discrete location. Calls come through pretty clear. Sounds factory. Factory speakers play louder and cleaner. Love the Waze integration. Even option for Alexa to read text messages. Very happy with purchase. Factory speakers and subwoofer next on list.
Pros: Factory look. Great sound. Ready Harness looks oem. Car Play!
Cons: Axxess interface needed to be manually programmed. Should have gotten Maestro with bundled pricing

2001 Ford F-350
Very impressed with this unit, bought it specifically to be able to run android auto and the functionality of it is perfect for the price. Some of the functions take a little while to learn as the instruction manual doesn't list everything out but it definitely points you in the right direction to get everything started. Installed in a 2001 f350 and the look is very sleek and clean, definitely quite a jump from the factory setup.
Pros: Great clean look, very clear display and graphics, call and sound quality is great!
Cons: Instruction manual is lacking, some functions with android auto are a little confusing to figure out at first but are definitely manageable

Great stereo for my 2015 JKU

Fit perfectly in my 2015 JKU. Removing dash was simple, wiring was complex but their customer support is top notch and answered every head scratcher I ran into. In addition to stereo, purchased wiring harness, steering wheel controls (with all touch screen, like using steering wheel button), backup camera (ND-BC8). Comes with remote but haven't had a need to use. Sound is amazing (have factory alpine amp) and love the apple car play, happy with overall purchase, would recommend

Christopher from Sarasota, FL on 4/18/2020
2013 Subaru Legacy
I bought this for a 2013 Subaru Legacy and overall I'm happy with it. My biggest complaint is the FM tuner is terrible compared to my stock radio. I live in a about an hour outside of a medium sized city and stations I used to get with my stock radio I no longer get with this head unit. Having said that, I am still happy with the purchase. The capacitive touchscreen is responsive and looks good in the dash. I use Apple CarPlay pretty much every time I'm in the car, so the Pioneer menus and images don't really bother me (as others have pointed out). My only other complaint is the disclaimer screen takes a while to go away if you don't press "OK" and I haven't found a way to turn that off. And when putting the vehicle in reverse there's about a 5 second delay before the screen changes to the back up camera. Overall I'm a big fan of the flat display (no visible buttons when the screen is off) and the functions it does (like navigation with CarPlay and the backup camera) is 100% better than what I had with the stock unit.
Pros: Clean look Apple CarPlay Easy install Easy to use
Cons: Poor FM radio reception Lag between putting the car in reverse and the backup camera displaying

Visually Unappealing
Trevor from Los Angeles, Ca. on 4/14/2020
2005 Ford Escape
I genuinely wanted to like the 2660NEX but unfortunately there just isn't much to like. Overall the specs are impressive, we've finally reached the tipping point where certain premium features such as capacitive screens and video playback have now become standard features. Compared to last year's models the 2660NEX definitely offers significantly more value for the money. Unfortunately however the onscreen layout and graphics are painfully boring and poorly designed. If this weren't the center piece of every dash and the main focal point than overall appearance wouldn't be such a major concern. But let's be honest, I think very few of us are dumping our factory head units because we were in love with the way they looked and were only seeking an upgrade in performance. Pioneer chose a very unrefined layout and wasted a lot of screen space, what you're left with is icons that are squished together in one corner, a minimalistic date and clock, an awkward phone icon in another corner and a lackluster graphic center screen showing your current source. Why they decided to literally cram the source icons in one corner is just odd, it looks cheap and lazy. Sadly every menu is visually unappealing. Performance wise it works great, screen is responsive, music sounds great, AA works well, if function is your priority and far out weighs appearance you'll be happy with this unit. If you value function first but consider appearance a close second, you won't be happy with the 2660NEX.
Pros: Build Quality, Standard Features, Function
Cons: Graphics, Onscreen Visual Appearance, Layout, Refinement, Lackluster, Overall Boring Screen Design.

Lots of nice features for the price
John from GREEN BAY, WI on 4/11/2020
2008 Toyota Highlander
Was a little nervous buying a newly released item that didn't have any reviews yet but decided to go ahead anyway. My decision to purchase was because this unit has a features I wanted typically found on more expensive units, including HD Radio, RDS and a 1080P screen. I installed it today in our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited and and am very happy with how it turned out. I recommend this unit.
Pros: Lots of features in a major brand for the price
Cons: Is a full sized unit, so it takes up quite a bit of space in the dash

Excellent Head Unit for the Price
Joaquin from MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA on 4/9/2020
Wow, what a difference this head unit makes. I installed this in a 2012 Passat. I had initially purchased an Alpine ILX-W650, and while it looked and sounded great, I had issues with a hiss coming through the speakers. I ordered this unit as a replacement and I am so glad I did. With the addition of the idatalink Maestro, I was able to install it and retain steering wheel controls, use of the MFD (which the PAC unit did not with the ILX-W650), and the aux input. I also get neat information regarding my engine performance, but this is not important to me (Tire Pressure does not work for my car, sadly). I could have kept factory bluetooth, but I had already disconnected it and routed an aftermarket (Enfig) microphone to the OEM location. Appearance-wise, it matches nicely with the interior. If you have a Passat, I highly recommended the high gloss dash kit. It sounds great, providing good bass. I am still dialing it in, but it sounds loads better than my stock head unit and comparably better than the Alpine. It integrated great with the Crux trunk handle camera I also bought from Crutchfield. Android Auto works perfectly. It is responsive to presses on the screen, but there is an ever so noticeable delay between presses on the steering wheel buttons and changing of tracks on Spotify. My only gripes are that the fan is somewhat loud. You can hear it when the music is paused. Also, the screen resolution is a bit low.
Pros: Great sound and very responsive. Android Auto works perfectly.
Cons: Fan is a bit loud.

I took a risk buying this as i havent seen any reviews because it was so new. Im glad i did, this reciever flows through the menus smoothly, responsive touch screen, highly expandable AND i was able to retain my steering wheel controls and factory aux input using the crutfield harness. Android auto works like a dream and hooked right up to my aftermarket backup camera. Looks nice and sleek without looking gaudy. Customer support was awesome during install, very knowledgeable staff.
