Review on Pioneer AVH 2550NEX Receiver CarPlay AndroidAuto by Gregory Plump

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Sounds cool in my 2010 FJ Cruiser

Replaced a 2011 Panasonic head unit with the addition of a navigation module. Since I was using my iPhone to navigate instead, I decided to upgrade to a device with CarPlay. The first thing that struck me is how much better the radio sounds, maybe HD? Now it is more pleasant to listen to the radio. I stream my music and it works fine. I connect my iPhone with a lightning cable and stream. The most interesting thing is that after I get out of the car with the iPhone and come back without connecting the cable, the music continues via Bluetooth. Some complain that the keys are small, which doesn't bother me at all; My screen is bigger.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Not bad
