Overview
A 9 inch capacitive HD floating-display digital multimedia receiver from Pioneer with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in Alexa, Bluetooth, a backup camera input, HD Radio and high-voltage RCA outputs.
The floating display design lets the large touchscreen sit forward of the dash rather than being boxed into a fixed double DIN opening, Pioneer's answer to fitting a 9 inch screen into vehicles not built for one. The Pxlink app extends control to a phone, and the high-voltage RCA preamp outputs point to compatibility with an aftermarket amplifier setup. Exact preamp voltage and screen resolution numbers are not given in the listing.
- 9 inch capacitive HD floating display
- Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto with Alexa
- HD Radio and Hi-Volt RCA outputs
- Pxlink app control
Who it's for
Suits someone upgrading a car's stereo who wants a large floating touchscreen with wireless phone mirroring and Alexa built in, especially if an aftermarket amp is already part of the plan. Not the pick for a tight budget build, since floating-display units sit at Pioneer's higher end.
Pros and cons
- 9 inch capacitive HD floating display
- Built-in Alexa voice control
- High-voltage RCA outputs for amp setups
- Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
- Exact screen resolution not listed
- Preamp voltage figure not stated
- Floating-display mounting likely pricier than a standard double DIN swap
Performance notes
The high-voltage RCA outputs are meant to drive an aftermarket amplifier with less added noise than a standard preamp, and HD Radio pulls digital sub-channels beyond regular FM and AM. Alexa runs on the unit itself for voice commands rather than routing through the connected phone's own assistant.
