Pioneer AVH-1400NEX 6.2" Double-Din in-Dash Nex DVD Receiver with Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Siriusxm Ready

Was looking into purchasing a vehicle with in-dash navigation, and a back-up camera. Today you can get this type of vehicle without selling and making monthly payments for new ride. I got the DVD version of Pioneer AVX 1400NEX because it is cheaper and I do still listen to cds sometimes while on the road. I installed it into my ‘06 Element EX and I ended up buying soldering iron, dash tools, tapes, backup camera, and all necessary harnesses, axxess steering control retainer. Trim finish bezel as well from Soche NOT Maetra. (Took back the Maetra didn’t care for .5” inset) Took me about a month from start to finish but I did it all by my lonesome and it works great! So far so good. The stock stereo served reliably for over 12 years. Will see how long this piece of technology will last but so far I’m enjoying it. If you are a DIY it’s possible to install it yourself and save a bit of cash and customize the install. I wired it so that the backup camera comes on not only when in reverse but has a selection to turn it on in this unit even when moving forward or stopped. I installed a small panel for the stereos USB and 3.5 port. Everything works to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend this unit to my friends, family, coworkers, etc. if I have a newer vehicle I probably would opt for the non DVD version. You do not need a car already equipped with Apple CarPlay to begin with. My car never did and ACP is sooo nice. Now I sit in traffic and I don’t mind because I can enjoy this stereo’s quality sound output customizable with optional bass boost or EQ settings. Few ways to tweak the sound. Nice to have Siri to help with hands free assistance when driving. For the money definitely what I need for an older model car most definitely a lot of bang for the buck.

Works better than expected! And shipped faster than was told; sound quality is exceptional for the price!

Sus funciones y los colores de pantalla están en un nivel superior

This unit is GREAT. Sounds amazing, easy to use, CarPlay works perfectly. I installed this with the METRA ASWC-1, and the "Panel Flush Mount Extension Cable,Car 3.5 mm USB 3.0 AUX Jack Extension Cable Lead Mounting Panel Headphone Male Jack Flush Mount Mounting Adapter"... Metra 95-8226B Dash Kit for Toyota Prius 2010 Double DIN (Black), Metra 70-1761 Radio Wiring Harness For Toyota 87-Up Power 4 Speaker, and the Rockford Fosgate P300-12. I ran "KabelDirekt RCA Stereo Cable/Cord (20 ft/feet Long, Dual 2 x RCA Male to 2 x RCA Male Audio Cable, Digital & Analogue, Double-Shielded, PRO Series) Supports (Amplifiers, AV Receivers, Hi-Fi)" and a 20ga remote wire. I used 8 GA cable and a circuit breaker at the battery for the RF amp.I was careful to read the directions thoroughly, soldered and shrink wrapped every connection, plugged it all in and it works perfectly. This combination allows every function to work, to include apple CarPlay, the AUX cable input, steering wheel controls, etc. It softens the blow of climbing into a Prius every day!

Exactly what I needed! I think it’s the cheapest unit with apple CarPlay but still works great. Bluetooth is a little delay but it auto connect right away!
