Pioneer AVH-4200NEX Does both Android Auto and AppleCarplay. Has native OBDII integration + other native apps. It's the bees knees. I'm getting it very soon. It's expensive, but god damn, it's the best thing out there right now for head units. Also it's has super easy pop-out ant-theft screen, for easily removing it for when you park. (Parts of downtown St. Louis are really ghetto/risky to park)

Here is the Best Buy model

Here is the Amazon model


Both, from what I can tell are the same thing. Best Buy price matches Amazon under the conditions that they are "Fulfilled by Amazon, and are the same exact model"

The new practice for most B&M stores is to get the manufacturer to give them a "custom model" so they can get around the price match against Amazon. (Hence the 4200 vs 4201).


I'm technical, but have no experience taking apart my dashboard to get to the radio. I'm under the gun now, my girlfriends lease is up this month, and my car is never used, but she wants a backup camera, and for 700 bucks, it saves us 300 bucks a month.

Most mid-upper level head units have the ability to plug in a backup camera. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a unit with Android Auto without a backup camera plug. Also, if it has Android Auto, you're guaranteed to have a USB port, as it's required, and all head units with the above mentioned features will most certainly have an aux input as well.

Also, I hear Crutchfield's customer service is top-notch. You should be able to give them a call with more specific questions.

Here are a few well-reviewed units I'm considering for my WRX with all of the features you listed:

Pioneer AVH-4200NEX

Kenwood DDX9903s

Sony XAV-AX100

This is a cheaper model than what I have. I have the 8200 nex and the one I linked is the 4200.

This is what it looks like. There is a gap, but it's not too bad honestly. It's almost impossible to find one that fits fully. I don't think any reputable brands make it in the size we need in the USA. Anything is better than the shit stock one. I hated that fucking thing lol.

I'm rolling on a 2017 STI base and from all the research I did when I was looking into making my sound system not sound like garbage in my car, seems the general consensus has been that these cars all have terrible head units, the stock speakers actually aren't bad (the head unit is just that bad that it makes them sound bad), and that the subaru kicker speakers are far too much money for what they deliver.

Oem audio plus even keeps the stock speakers in their solution. They do replace the tweeters though and obviously add a sub.

A simple under seat subwoofer seems a far better value to get bass into the system. You can even get a kicker for $200.

I'd ultimately suggest replacing the head unit along with getting a simple under seat subwoofer for an more even and overall solution.

I went with the Pioneer 4200NEX and a Cerwin-Vega under seat subwoofer.

Sounds pretty damn good and I now have android auto (and apple carplay if you're into that).

this is what i got and I love it. Works great with the iphone and I hear it workswell with android too.

u/blacksimus · 2 pointsr/Honda

Buy a new a headunit. I did that for my 2008 civic. They range from 200 over 1k USD. I bought this one.

I just upgraded my 15 STi (w/ Harmon speakers) with the Pioneer 4200NEX. Its on sale for $200 off. I was able to retain my steering wheel controls with another component. Probably your best bet for seeing Android Auto in a WRX until 2020. I've not aware of any OEM updating existing systems to add Android Auto / Apply Carplay after release.

I have heard that this one is good, I've been looking into picking it up myself but I want

u/danpascooch · 1 pointr/CarAV

I ended up getting the AVH-4200NEX and using the extra cash to install and wire up a backup camera. Enjoy your gold!

What about the Pioneer AVH4200NEX? You gotta remember, I'm a computer guy, so I know nothing about car parts.

u/jeffe333 · 1 pointr/CarAV

So, the install parts you listed in your initial response are standard for any vehicle and any stereo? I looked at Crutchfield, but their stereos seemed to be much more than Amazon's, although they may have included the install components. I'll have to look into that. Thank you for that very important heads up!

I found the perfect stereo, although it's quite a bit more than I'd prefer to spend: https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-AVH-4200NEX-Multimedia-Receiver-Touchscreen/dp/B01D6HPMZQ

So, I went to Crutchfield and utilized their tool to input the things most important to me, and this is what I came up w/:

  1. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_070AV7225B/Axxera-AV7225BH.html?tp=5684

  2. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_070AV7336B/Axxera-AV7336MB.html?tp=5684

  3. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_070AV7116B/Axxera-AV7116Bi.html?tp=5684

    I've never heard of Axxera before. Frankly, just looking at these units, I'm more likely to go w/ the Kenwood or the Pioneer that we were talking about earlier, although I do like the idea that the Axxera's have detachable face-plates.
u/Adame409 · 1 pointr/Mustang

For the head unit I used a Pioneer 4200nex (this head unit is pretty much the same as the 8200nex(which is the top of the line head unit) but without the navigation. There really isn't a need for that feature since this head unit supports Android Auto and Apple Car Play, they both use their own maps)

For the dash kit I used the ADS MUS1 Radio Installation Kit (if you decide to go with this kit, the wire harness is already included inside the box)

Then I used the iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR module so they would all communicate with each other, that also took care of the A/C, steering wheel controls and will also connect to the ODB2.

I did not install this myself, but the installer told me that it wasn't too difficult, and it was his first time installing this kit/radio into a mustang.

I love it!!! It was worth the all the money I spent!

edit: if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask :)

If your phone has MHL you could mirror your screen to any touchscreen with an HDMI on the back. I know the new Samsung S7 and Nexus 6 don't have this, so it's a toss up whether your phone has it or not.

Otherwise I just recommend saving up an extra $250 for the 4200nex, considering it's basically the same price as it's older model 4100nex. And you'll be getting everything you're asking for.

If your phone has MHL support or you want something now and is in your price range, the x4800bs does the same job just without android auto.
