Touchscreen generation
We're all using our touchscreens more and more. And having a well-designed in-car system that makes it easy to access our apps through simple routines and voice control is something I value greatly. I appreciate how Pioneer is staying on the front edge of in-car multimedia with their new lineup, including the AVH-1550NEX DVD receiver. I love the improved interface and the addition of features like WebLink®. This networked car stereo fits my smartphone lifestyle — and I'll bet it'll fit yours as well.

Making your smartphone easy to use in the car
Smartphone compatibility with car multimedia systems is rapidly coalescing around easy to use interfaces like Apple CarPlay. So, if you're a dedicated iPhone user just plug in your iPhone and you'll access a friendly iOS styled interface and serious voice control options that let you quickly jump into your music, podcasts, messages, streaming music and more. CarPlay's a no-brainer for me — it's simply a much safer and simpler way to use your phone in the car.
Spotify and Pandora® control
I appreciate how easy it is to control either Pandora and Spotify accounts from this Pioneer. Just connect your iPhone via USB or Bluetooth, or pair up your Android™ with Bluetooth and you're ready to take command of your playlists and streaming music. You can even create new Pandora stations on the fly just by pressing a button.
Bluetooth® wireless command
The AVH-1550NEX is ready to roll with hands-free calling with your compatible phone, plus the ability to wirelessly stream and control music. Plus, with your compatible iPhone, you can take advantage of Siri Eyes Free functionality, using your voice to place calls, select music, hear notifications, add reminders — even compose and listen to text messages.
Sweet radio
If you're on the road all the time, you should consider tapping into the variety of satellite radio with an optional SiriusXM tuner.
Awesome A/V
The receiver's LCD screen plays DVDs and other video content in bright, clear detail when you're parked. You can keep your passengers entertained by sending video from the receiver to a rear-seat screen — that sure helps to minimize wars in the back seat. This Pioneer also incorporates WebLink®, so you easily view what's on your smartphone on the receiver's screen — no extra cables required. Dual camera inputs allow you to add a rear-view camera, plus a dash or side-view cam.
iDataLink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras
This Pioneer offers compatibility you won't find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. You'll also be able to check out engine performance data and other vehicle info on the Pioneer's screen. Once you've identified your vehicle, you'll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it's compatible.
