Spotify does not play right

Spotify does not stay connected with the apple car play. Keeps pausing in the middle of songs. Other so far the rest of the radio head is great and the sound is 100x's better than the stock radio.

Vibration and fan/buzzing noise

I installed my first DMH-WC5700NEX and it worked fine for a couple of years. Then it started sounding like there was a piece of paper hitting a fan blade and I could feel a vibration coming from the unit itself. The noise was not coming through the speakers, it was coming from the unit. I was sent a replacement unit and it has worked for a couple of years, but now it is making the same type of noise and the vibration is worse than before. I called Pioneer and they only suggested I send it to their repair shop. I don't really want to put any more time or money into this unit.

Took out after a year of despair

How this thing as 4.5 starts is a real mystery to me. The UI let you swipe the home screen up-down-left-right to get to "shortcuts screens" or long press to start customizing the tiles so when your driving and press a command on the home screen and your finger slide off by one micron, because you are in a moving vehicle, you end up somewhere else or if you accidentally touch it one millisecond too long now you end up customizing a tile. NOT SAFE NOT USEFUL If you are using remote start you will need to manually connect your phone every time you get in. Auto connect works fine if you are in the car at boot up, always had a solid connection. The lag is probably the worst part of it all, sometimes needs to wait 2-3 seconds before the screen respond to simple press of the "connectivity button" or any other button.. Capacitive button are finicky to use borderline useless. Too many features and no processing power to run them. I also had many freeze up that would give me a blank screen with a microphone icon in one corner that would need me pull over get in park, turn off the car, open the door to kill the ACC power. (Putting a switch on the ACC for my next install, never know} Sound quality was good, sitting position DSP really bring the soundstage to you. Setting menu is also fine, just get a bit blurry when getting deep in there. Crutchfield service is great, needed help with menu, could not get back to a camera setting that i just change.

Unusable at 13 months.

Android Auto would randomly reboot every 30 minutes or so when new but it wasn't worth it to replace it. Now after 13 months audio stutters and cuts out horribly 4/5 times I drive the car. Verified its the headunit because if you pause the audio it keeps playing and stuttering for a second or so until the audio buffer is emptied. Occasionally hard freezes and requires restarting the car to use it again. Waste of $$$ and never buying pioneer again.

Worse Pioneer I have ever owned.

Hate this unit. I have never had a device so glitchy. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. I have to pull over and restart vehicle to get it back on. Switching from one device to another will cause his thing to lock up. Sometimes it looses the sub output and sound quality to the front and rear speakers. Connection to iphone blows.

DMH WC-5700NEX 2004 Vette

2004 corvette installation. Fabricated aluminum angle brackets to mount into factory location and use original bezel. I still had to drill out the factory center brace rivets and remove the brace to have enough space for this unit. It can be bolted back in if originality is preferred later on down the road. The small gaps on LH and RH of unit were filled with custom made plastic filler plates. Infinity Kappa component (front) 12" sub rear, and mid mount are 5 1/4" Kappa 2-way. Best sounding system I've had and I love the head unit's display and ease of use. Crutchfield made it a breeze locating the power antenna, VSS, light dinner wires, etc. I still need to ask them how to power off the head unit so I can go through a car and keep the antenna retracted.

Worst Pioneer Ever Made

There is no way this stereo has a five star rating. If you use this deck with an IPhone you can give up getting it to operate correctly. Crutchfield customer service has been awesome, even sent me a second deck. But as far as this Pioneer head unit it WILL NOT consistently allow you to have use of CarPlay. This deck WILL NOT allow you to connect to the Internet. This deck WILL NOT recognize you are connected via Bluetooth despite your phone telling you that you are. Even when plugged in via USB this deck rarely recognizes the iPhone. Been almost a year and I just pulled it out and replaced it with a cheap head unit that works flawlessly. Seriously there needs to be a class auction lawsuit against Pioneer for these higher priced decks. Again Nothing against Crutchfield here they have been 100% awesome in trying to solve this Pioneer head unit/CarAVassist app issue with me.

Crutchfield Rocks!

I was not happy with the JVC I originally ordered. The return process was easy and fast. In the meantime the replacement Pioneer unit and cables were shipped quickly. The user interface on the Pioneer is much better, as is the user the manual. The installation went well and contacting Crutchfield support was fast and easy. The only cons seem related to our vehicle, 2021 Honda Civic LX. The backup camera view only showed the fisheye view, and video would cut out intermittently. This seems to be an issue with the Honda, not Crutchfield's wiring harness. In the end, I took the car to a nearby stereo installer and they confirmed they also could not stabilize the rear camera angle and intermittent problem. They installed an aftermarket rear camera and all is great with the new unit. My wife is really enjoying the new features and now has Android Auto capabilities in her Civic LX. Wetzel from customer support was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process!

A few minor flaws but love it overall

I've had this unit for over a year now. The ability to use CarPlay wirelessly in my 2015 Accord has been a game changer. I sometimes have an issue where I get a notification that the "speed sensor is detached" and shortly afterwards my map will get wonky. This may be more of an installation issue and it has been less prevalent since I got the iPhone, but it's still a pain when it happens. My only other complaint is that I didn't realize I would lose all my physical knobs and dials upon installation- changing the volume with just the steering wheel controls is annoying when I need to do so quickly.

Great sound, flexible mounting.

Changing out the head unit in a 2011 Mercedes SLK350 from the factory COMAND unit to this one. Not the easiest install I've done, by far, won't even get into the harness fun needed to keep the SWC working (which is mandatory in this car, they do a lot more than just volume and station control, which ran thru the factory head unit). This unit fit perfectly, the flexibility of the mounting system made it a breeze. Functionally it's fantastic. Takes some time to learn how to get around on it, and that can be frustrating, doing 70MPH while yelling "Why is this thing doing that???". But once the basics are learned, just a glance at it and you know where to touch the screen. I now have a DMH series in two cars and a truck, this SLK, a 2014 Camry, and a 2016 Tacoma. They are different models but most touch controls are similar, so that's helpful. There are more input and outputs on this than I'll ever need, but it's nice knowing they're there should I move it to another vehicle someday and want them. Despite the RMS output (average at best) it sounds quite nice, the EQ actually can make a difference in the sound. I'm pretty happy with it and will continue to buy Pioneer, and of course from Crutchfield.

Terrible user interface

I love the functionality of being able to use MagSafe charger and connecting to the wirelessly. However, the user interface of the Pioneer unit is terrible. I can only control the volume through the steering wheel controls and the user interface has significant lag. Not sure what the '+' and '-' on the touch display are supposed to do, but they don't seem to do anything - they certainly do not control the volume. I tap on the steering wheel control to skip ahead and there's almost a 2 second delay before anything happens. The unit also gets into some sort of mode where it only displays the app that's playing via CarPlay, such as Overcast. I found through trial and error that if I hit the voice control on the steering wheel for Siri that I can get the CarPlay menu back. Overall, not happy at all with the unit and would not recommend it.

Excellent headunit, excellenter support!

Fantastic unit. Does everything and does it well. Sure it doesn't play CDs, but it's 2023, what's a CD? Wireless Android Auto and Carplay and very intuitive interface. Even better than the head unit though - Crutchfield's support. I installed the unit on Easter Sunday and there were still techs available when I called with an issue. Of course, their ready harness was perfect and the issue was on my end, but they were helpful the entire way through.

Disappointed

While the technical staff at Crutchfield is AWESOME!, I must say I am disappointed with the product. It is advertised through Pioneer as Alexa capable. However, after phone calls to Crutchfield AND Pioneer, I found the radio only connects with Alexa if one has "personal hotspots" through their cellular service. I don't. And to change my cell plan would cost significantly more per month. Sadly, my old factory radio would allow for an auxiliary connection to the Alexa car device. This radio won't let me do that. Fair warning to you all. This is NOT mentioned in the publications for the Pioneer Nex car radios.??

Very nice

I had a friend of mine install this and it's a huge upgrade over my old Pioneer head unit. Jam packed with features (a nice chunk of which I'm never going to use), a great screen, a remote to help offset the "which part of the screen am I touching while I'm driving?" issue (I mostly use it for volume control and song skipping), and the ability to manage a nice chunk of the head unit from a linked Android phone (firmware, screen layout, etc).

Amazing Unit to replace Toyota Entune System

Really ended up being the perfect replacement for my 2019 Tundra 1794 edition. The package that is sold on crutchfield required no slicing. Just make sure to get the ACC-HU-PIO1 with everything. Its just straight plugging in everything from there. A few tips for anyone looking to install in a Tundra since I don't really see much out there on this: 1. The USB and Microphone that come with the Pioneer can run straight down to the factory USB slot. You can remove the factory USB which leaves a very convenient opening for both without having to mod anything. 2. If you use Maestro, just be ready to run the ODB connector through the side, down under the steering column. I recommend having some kind of cable runner if you are going to do this. its easy with one, but I would think this would be a nightmare otherwise and seems to be the neatest way to run the cable without modification and still hiding everything. Other than the two steps above, the install is amazingly simple, without any need for splicing. My Entune died within a year of having the Tundra and I refuse to trust Toyota to replace the head unit themselves. The unit is crap anyway. The WC5700NEX improves my sound, has Apple Car Play, and just does everything better.

Simply the Best!

If you are looking for one of the best Head Units, look no further. The Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX is one of the best aftermarket Android Auto/Car Play units on the market. Pretty much has every bell and whistle you could ask for. I highly recommend paying the $25 to have Crutchfield wire the Harness. They made installing this unit along with a iDatalink Maestro RR and SiriusXM SV300 pretty much plug and play. The hardest part of the entire install was taking the dash apart and removing the old factory radio. Having wired or wireless ANdroid Auto/Apple Car play is awesome. HD Radio is another huge plus along with USB-C (instead of the older USB-A). Love the single din chassis along with the double din face. Tons of room after removing the factory double din radio.

Great unit

Fantastic head unit. Upgraded from an older DMH version. The single din chassis with the double din screen is really amazing. It's not bulky to install anymore like a full double din. The output sound quality is excellent as you'd expect from a performance Pioneer unit. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX

The good - sounds great, XM and HD radio are both very clear. The screen is nice and easy to read, relatively good response. I replaced a DMH-1500NEX with this but I have to say the 1500 seems to be a bit more solid software wise. Wireless carplay works until you step out of the car for a second, the buttons on the left side are VERY unresponsive unless you hit them just right and I didn't see any means to calibrate them. When going between carplay and XM or radio it always brings you back to the home screen instead of directly to the source. Other than those minor issues, happy with it.

Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX

Installed in a 2017 Subaru Outback. Be sure to buy the Maestro PIO1 wiring harness - it does not show on Crutchfield as an option for this stereo but it should. It works great and made it so I only had to attach one wire - the blue antenna wire. Everything else was plug and play. It should be noted that you must keep the STARLINK/Eyesight unit (black box on bottom on factory stereo) wired up - don't remove it or you won't get any front channel audio. I was able to use the factory mounting bracket to install the stereo - no need for any of the new brackets. But, you will need some washers and a piece of weather striping to securely attach the stereo faceplate to the Metra dash kit. The weather stripping fills in a small gap along the bottom of stereo screen. Looks ok, as long as you get the right stripping.

Ford Expedition/Pioneer 5700nex

installed in 2008 Expedition to replace OEM. Looks great. Great functionality. Stange getting use to no physical volume knobs, but good. I had Crutchfield do the ready harness connections-well worth the $25. Still have to figure out how to tap the oem x/m antennae (don't want to run another antennae) to the new receiver. Technical support was great.

Have questions for

Crutchfield response on

Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX

Functionality wise I like almost everything about this receiver but there are a few things to be aware of for installation. I thought the small size of this thing would make installation easier but my car had a large double din receiver with a bottom mount in the back. This Pioneer receiver is not as long (deep) as the stock one, so there was no way to attach that bottom bracket to the pioneer, so it's kind of resting on the bracket (see photo). There was also a minor issue with the Pioneer screen not being as tall as the Metra Mazda dash kit, so there were gaps (see photo) that I had to fill up with some foam gasket stuff. Other than that everything went smoothly with the install and I have the rear backup cam and steering wheel controls working the same as the stock radio. Wireless Carplay is super convenient not having to plug in every time I get in the car, but every once in a while playback stutters a little. Also when first starting the car, the music starts playing over Carplay for like 5 seconds and then stops, and I have to manually hit play again, maybe there's a setting or something to fix that but it's annoying.

Good radio! Easy install!

I installed this in a 2016 Tundra Double Cab with SR5 trim; I installed with a new XM radio (using factory antenna), GPS (using factory antenna), steering wheel controls, factory backup cam, and vehicle menu. This means that I kept all existing functionality and gained all the features of a new radio: Comments: 1. This head unit does Android Auto wireless nicely; simply get in the car and go -- it will connect wirelessly and start your Android Auto. 2. The unit itself does what it needs to do, well. I wish the screen was a little bigger but I could have paid more for that. 3. I highly recommend getting Crutchfield to build the harness for you because it saves time. 4. I had one issue getting steering wheel controls to work; a quick call to Customer Service fixed that (great service!!) 5. I wish I had known that I could use factory GPS and XM antenna's -- so check if those are available before purchasing and buy the factory to radio antenna adapter kit. Good purchase and was easier to install than I expected!

Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX

Bought this to replace the stock head unit in a 2014 Rav4. This was my first in a car with steering wheel controls, so an interface is required to maintain use of them. Glad I bought everything from Crutchfield, as I had a few questions during the install. Crutchfield's tech support answered quickly and got me going every time. So, it's installed, looks great, sounds great and everything works. Far superior to the stock unit. Here's the big rub. I bought it for the WIRELESS Android auto feature. Wired worked fine, but I didn't want to have to plug in my phone every time I got in the car. Turns out, if you don't have a Pixel phone, getting wireless to work is not easy. Spent 2 days searching the internet for a solution. Found it, changed a secret setting in my phone, and like magic, it starts working. Android Auto launches automatically when the radio boots, no need to touch the phone. Now, it will read texts to you, allow you to compose and send a text, make a phone call, search for an address and more - all hands free using voice commands. Very nice, and exactly what I wanted. My only complaint now is that I wish Pioneer had made the home screen display options more flexible, but that's a very minor gripe. I personally like Pioneer, and I like this unit a lot, but if you don't care about android auto functionality, there are cheaper options. For me, this is a very nice unit, and with wireless android auto working, it is fantastic.

Wow, what a difference in the sound. I was concerned that I would need to upgrade the factory speakers in my 2016 F250, but nope, this HU makes them sound great. BlueTooth and CarPlay work great and fast. There is a little delay in the steering wheel controls, like a faction of a second compared to the factory radio, but I don't even notice it anymore. Install was relatively easy, other than I didn't know I needed to use an adapter that came with the wiring harness, which caused me to consult with tech support. It did take a few calls to get it figured out, but I was very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the techs. My only complaint is that with my truck model, the backup camera is in the rear view mirror, and this kit didn't include the wire to tap into that.

Excellent Head Unit with Wireless Android Auto/Carplay

I love this head unit, the body of it being a single DIN is so small I was surprised. It allows multiple configurations for placement of the screen away from the HU body. Using the provided brackets with it I mounted it directly to the body and then mounted this into my forester. Crutchfield recommended using Scosche SU2029B Dash Kit for my 2014 Forester, however it had a large lip on it I didn't like. So I ended up pairing it with a Metra Electronics 95-8905B Double-DIN Dash Kit which works much better. The 13 band EQ and tons of connection options gives you a lot of options. I paired it with a Maestro so that I can still use the steering wheel controls which works great. Make sure to update the firmware and leave a little space behind it as it does have active cooling (a small fan) which you can hear running every time it comes on.

Nice Head Unit w/ some Minor Gripes

Great head unit; sounds nice, generally intuitive UI, love the wireless Android auto. A few minor issues: 1- the main screen has an annoying panel that says I need to accept some sports data agreement, but I don't know where or how to make this go away. 2- I installed it on a VW Tiguan, and the Airbag warning light remains on. This is apparently a VW thing related to powering up the radio with the airbag switch light disconnected. I don't recall that being in the instructions, but would have been nice to call that out. It needs a VAGCOM reader or a dealership to reset (aka, $150 of unplanned expense). 3- DataLink support on my Tiguan is kind of limited and hokey and the UI is difficult to get to; some gauges that are have limited configurability to just a few items you can't get elsewhere (intake temperature, exhaust temp, engine load, etc.). Though retaining the full support to steering wheel control buttons and integration to the data screen in the instrument cluster is very good and makes it worth it.

Excellent car receiver with some minor cons

Installed this Pioneer head unit in my 2015 Mazda MX-5 along with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera and installation was a bit nerve-wracking but fairly smooth in the end. This unit has a lot of nice features and some bells-and-whistles but overall is a great choice for some needing a sleek smooth replacement for their stock radio. The Wireless CarPlay integration is very smooth and fast. The audio coupled with the default Bose system is definitely a big upgrade. Steering wheel controls works well with the Crux wiring interface. Alexa-support is nice and handy. Sirius XM and HDMI support is there, but I didn't need them. USB connector charges my iphone 13 well. Crutchfield support was great (Thanks Derrick) when I contacted them with some wiring questions related to connecting the backup camera. Highly recommend getting the Crutchfield ReadyHarness service as it will save you some valuable time (unless you enjoy reading wiring diagrams and soldering wires). Overall this is a great unit and will be a step-up from the stock radio. Too bad the price has jumped in 2022 already.

Unfriendly installs just got friendly.

Tech solves problems. At last, pioneer releases a touch screen compatible with the modest space offerings of two-post style installations in classic hot rods. While offerings for these antiquated autos are ubiquitous - audiophiles are challenged in finding something that combines decent sound with todays tech like GPS and streaming music without upsetting the classic feel, that sounds any better than a refurbished 8 track. With enough screen to clearly display GPS maps and instructions, and offering functional frustration free integration for apple and android users alike, pioneer provides a perfect solution for a crafty installer that cleanly installs in those classic cars without taking over. You will find a separate head unit from the core device with multiple mounting options included. The dark, sleek appearance of the head unit can stand alone without special trim, inviting it to mount anywhere imaginable. Multiple plug ins on the core device leave quite a mess of cables, inviting you to mount it anywhere far out of sight, where space is plenty and looks are unimportant. Offering a well mannered attempt to decode streaming audio from your tech gadget that is about as good as your MP3s will get, it shines brilliantly with HD radio. The EQ can tame most combinations and deliver on the promise that pioneer has made for the money invested. Be ready though: unfriendly instructions may leave the novice wondering what to do with so many wires.

Great Unite- Very Satisfied

Great unit, Apple Car Play works very well, excellent installation resources between Crutchfield and Maestro. Only feature that does not work is the in-console USB as it is a two-port hub in this car, so the recommended USB adaptor is wasteful. Pointers specific to a 2017 Forester: 1. The BLUE power wire from the antenna adapter must be connected to the BLUE/WHITE Amp Turn-On wire of the Maestro harness. 2. There is a YELLOW/BLACK wire labelled MUTE that must be connected to the YELLOW wire of the Pioneer unit for the MUTE function to work. 3. There is no need for (and no place to plug in) the AUDIO CABLE from the Maestro RR unit into the Pioneer unit. Just leave it off. 4. The Posi-Twist connectors are fantastic. You need TWO packs as there are a few more than 16 connections to make. 5. The recommended wire-stripper is worth it for making consistent wire strips without yanking on the harnesses. 7. It is a little tricky getting everything packed back into the space - patience. 6. The Scosche all black trim looks great and was a perfect fit. Really happy with the unit after two weeks of use. 1. Sound is fantastic, big improvement from stock headunit. 2. Car Play has been flawless and connects quickly. 3. If you want internet functions, ie weather, sports, you have to 'activate' the Hotspot' (make discoverable) everytime you get in the car. I will only use on long rides. This is an iOs limitation, nothing to do with the head unit.

Great update to my 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500

To add a backup camera and to have wireless Android Auto, I was looking at either the Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX, the DMH-WC5700NEX or the DMH-WC6600NEX (yes, I'm partial to Pioneer). I didn't want to have a 9" screen extend out (or the extra cost), so I didn't pick the DMH-WC6600NEX. The Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX had more reviews, (112 at the time) and was mixed about the wireless Android Auto. The DMH-WC5700NEX had only 1, 5 star review. Doing some research, the DMH-WC5700NEX was new to 2021 (introduced at CES). Since the price was the same as the older DMH-W4660NEX, I took a chance on the DMH-WC5700NEX. Some install notes: My vehicle is a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 (non-Bose system. No factory amp). The stock radio came with SiriusXM. My initial information from Crutchfield was that you could not use the factory satellite antenna. Well, you can. The satellite receiver is behind the glovebox. Purchase the iDatalink SAT2 antenna extension, unplug the antenna from the receiver and plug into the factory antenna (I've included pics). After install, the volume wasn't high enough. After calling iDatalink, I had installed the low output connections (I'll include pics of what these look like). I was told these were noise filters. After uninstalling these, the volume was as it should be. Lastly, there is a GPS antenna. I was strongly advised to install. Since I didn't want to drill a hole in the dash, I ran this down to the floor (pics included).

North Haven

Great Modular product was able to bypass stock stereo in my 2020 Acura TLX, no DSP's etc....fits perfect on bottom of the console. Nice clean sound you expect from pioneer, and no need for DSP and all that other stuff to try to bypass stock eqs.
