Wow this was an incredible review. I know it gets tiring saying the same things over and over for each device but it makes each video seem personalized. Keep doing it! Thanks!!!
My avh-4200 just went out. Had it for a year. They said the firmware upgrade was done in August and I didn't know Who knows to check k for firmware upgrades. Anyway...I just bought this 4500 for my Denali. Cant wait to hook this thing up. Looks like a great upgrade. Same.wire.connextuons so set up should be simple. Your videos always are on point . Thanks. I like the plugs dint go directly in the back of the radio. Makes install way easier.
Thanks Dean. I want this stereo. But it has way way more than my AVH-X4500T. I got it for my 30th birthday. I'm going to be 36 now and I want to up grade again. It's crazy it's been 6 years and look how much has changed...
Personally I feel that these double din stereos should be upgraded every 2 years in our cars. Just sell your current stereo , add some cash on top and buy a same year stereo.
Where can I get a list of ALL of the 2019 Pioneer model releases? The Pioneer website is trash and doesn't really help me figure which stereos are the latest and greatest.
maybe too late for this but when it comes to keeping up to date with car audio companies and releases is follow their social media. they usually announce releases, i have better luck with following companies on facebook!
Appears to have a lot of features like the 80prs but a little extra.. Pioneer always delivers with their higher end head units.. never disappointing 👌🤙
Hi Dean and Fernando, Before anything, I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you guys put in sharing your knowledge and experience in those videos. It’s help a lot the community that love car audio! In the other hand, thanks to this video, I purchase the same radio a month ago and I really love it! My question is about the gps antena, should I connect it or not? I don’t really need with apple car play and Waze app! Is there any reason why I should connect the antenna? Thx
Like the 8100 or 8200 can you hold MODE to shut the screen off without killing audio? While night driving I like to shut the screen off but other brands don’t.
These just became available on Crutchfield, it seems like the perfect head unit for my needs, now I just need to decide if I'm ready to fork over the cash
My Samsung Galaxy S8+ does try to connect wirelessly with the 4500NEX. Google maps seem to pop up on my screen. After a bit I get a message about a poor connection with the phone. I may try keeping it closer?? I did use a wire to first hook my phone up to it....to try the Android Auto. Wired was how I was going to use it.
My Samsung Galaxy 8+ is working wirelessly. Maybe a little buggy which I can explain later if anyone cares. And today I did notice this article. www.androidpolice.com/2019/10/01/android-auto-wireless-now-works-on-select-samsung-galaxy-phones/
@@timh3327 Loving it and I'm probably not using it to its full potential. Someone more knowledgeable may be able to fine tune it more. Not that it sounds bad by any means, just knowing my limitations. I would not pay extra for the map feature since you can connect with your phone anyway.
Hi. Why is the navigation antenna included if this unit doesn't have navigation? Shouldn't the antenna be included with the navigation module (AVIC-U280) instead?
Informative video , appreciated. If I only uses the main harness ( not used the rca cables because I don’t uses rear panels or video sources ) , would this affect the installation of this pioneer model ? Please advice .
Good Morning Guys, I really enjoy the channel and appreciate ALL the hard work that goes into it. I have two questions. I have the 4400NEX and am interested to know what the differences are between the 4400 and the 4500. Are there ANY (harnesses, remote, internals,etc.)? Secondly, how do you save an eq setting to custom 2 by starting from one of the presets? Thanks
Does the Pioneer W6500 NEX have the ability to reverse image in setting for the front camera in the camera setting like some of the other pioneer radios? I don’t see it anywhere in the camera setting.
Do I have to connect the pink wire (VSS/Vehicle Speed Signal) to use Android Auto Wireless/Apple CarPlay? My vehicle's VSS is not connected to the car's head unit connector, it's underneath the passenger side dash. If VSS needs to be connected, what is your recommendation on making this connection?
Thorough video gentlemen. Does Pioneer make a in dash unit with the exact same features as the AVH W4500NEX but WITHOUT the DVD/CD option? Looking for a little cheaper, less moving parts and smaller chassis. Thank you in advance.
Mostly the same features but the dmh lost automatic time alignment, only has one usb c input, and no cd/dvd player. It does however have a capacitive touch screen, and an updated interface with widgets and a web browser.
Hi, i have a 2013 Kia Optima SXL with the navigation radio and i an a Android guy. I am looking for a Kenwood or Pioneer radio that will accept my steering wheel functions and factory rear camera, also a radio i can install Android Apps to......What is your recommendation for the best radio for me to upgrade to? Thanks
Do you know if when connecting via weblink and you mirror your phone to the radio if it will display on the rear entertainment? I have an above head dvd player and 2 headrest monitors. Everything can run individually or whatever the head unit displays.
Hey curious to find out since the w4500 nex comes with a hdmi input could we connect the iPhone directly to the beck instead to using the Av lighting cable
Does the dmh have better resolution? I installed a 2660nex and it looks clearer than the 4500nex. I'm just assuming this from the videos I've watched. I haven't seen the 4500nex in person.
Just switched to the Samsung s10 from.iphone. What cable/adapter do I need to hdmi into the headunit for video playback that will also charge the phone?
Should the audio cable from my Maestro RR box be connected to the audio input on the rear of the Pioneer 4500NEX or should it be plugged in to the audio input on the A/V wire bundle?
I've got one of these and it's been great. Just had some major transmission work (i.e. battery was disconnected for duration) and now the unit seems to forget which track I was listening too after every shutdown/startup. Tried the factory reset button, SD/USB reformats and different track options. No luck. Any thoughts?
Hey guys! I'm looking to buy a new car stereo for a Toyota 4runner... I'm between this one and the Alpine's Halo 9... Any advice?? Thank you for your help...
is there a way to disable the navi apps from auto starting while using Android Auto? Also, can i add my own apps to Android Auto such as youtube or plex? thanks
I'm upgrading to AVH 4500nex from sph da100, Ram 1500 with corresponding PACSWC interface. Will it be plug and play or do I have some rewiring in my future?
Yes as long as you by pass the parking brake but the quality is suck though very slow and lack not like you using the phone it’s like you using the Samsung galaxy S2
Curious if the wiring is the same as last years AVH-W4400NEX , thinking about returning my 4400 and swapping to this new 4500 if it's all plug and play, thanks for any info!
This unit were working with my iphone x perfectly.. after buying new iphone pro 13 , wirelessly connecting is no longer able . Tried everything advised on the web with no success.. any help appreciated.
It is for the wireless CarPlay and AndroidAutos Navi feature. It uses the Pioneer antenna instead of the phones because the phone may be in your pocket or bag
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc I was dying to know the answer to this! Does it work with a wired connection as well? Until Google pushes wireless to more phones, I'll be stuck with a wired connections.
Can someone tell me if there are any recent stereos that support wireless mirroring or miracast? 2018/2019. US versions only. I had bought a Kenwood ddx9017s only to find out it was a region 3 and no one else had one for sale. I'm looking at Ebay and Amazon btw.
I purchased a car with this radio already installed. The thing that I am having problems with is that every time I turn the car on, I have to put the radio and my iPhone on search mode to find each other, it doesn’t happen automatically, which drives me insane. The radio shows the phone of the previous owner and I have tried to delete it but to no avail.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE EXACTLY IS THE RESET BUTTON ON THIS DEVICE? WHERE YOU INSERT THE PIN AT. I'VE SCOURED THE OWNERS MANUAL, RUclips, AND GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY ONLY MENTION HOW BUT NONE SHOW YOU WHERE? PLEASE HELP
Just installed this unit. Great video very informative, on point! Have Subscribed. One thing I have noticed when playing movie media from my phone in mp4 format, via the usb input, the video is not very smooth sometimes. Would this be smoother if I utilized the HDMI input?
If you play through your phone, your phone handles the processing as opposed to using the USB drive, which depends on the headunit processor. So the phone will be smoother.
So are there any hacks I can do to allow DVD playback while in motion? I'm looking to buy this radio so I can play DVD movies for my kids when we're on road trips.
Wow this was an incredible review. I know it gets tiring saying the same things over and over for each device but it makes each video seem personalized. Keep doing it! Thanks!!!
thanks for not putting any extra bs in your reviews. it really helped me narrow down the features i want
These guys rule. Make things easy to understand, entertaining, and informative

Never seen a double din radio with removable screen, awesome 😎
I have the 4200 in my Jeep and it's wonderful during the summer when the top is off.

Bass Head it’s still helpful for new lookers but it is confusing as I believe in the uk this head unit is the avh z9200dab
Thanks Dean for mentioning the primary difference between the flagship and the lower models. (CPU, memory)
Frank Stroupe never liked pioneer for things like this. Usually when i pick up a pioneer its too light to be quality lol. Feels cheap
Awesome demo! You guys are the best!

What's the difference between the w4400 nex and the w4500 nex?
built in gps
And, unless I'm wrong, some features like backup camera being on by default and the camera having parking assist lines.
@@carbonoxx W4400 has the same external GPS antenna as the 4500.
CarPlay is wireless on both units.
I believe the reverse guide was added to the 4500
so thorough, yet no mention of the mirroring abilities...
Great review, can't wait to install this baby
