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!

I have had a great experience so far. I bought a full sized truck cause I’ve always wanted one. Parking and backing up is pretty challenging. This headunit with a backup cam makes is much easier to maneuver. It made my stock stereo sound much better. It integrates with my phone wonderfully. Auto connects and starts playing right where you left off. Brightness is reasonable. Not too bright at night and bright enough to be reasonably visible in sunny conditions. Install was not difficult at all. I bought a factory wire harness and soldered all the wires on the bench. Then just plugged it up like it belonged there when installing. Only trouble was with the backup camera and that is due to me blowing a fuse when wiring camera to backup light bulb. Overall well worth the money for me.

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!
