I bought this unit to install in my Toyota Sequoia. I searched everywhere for this unit finally found it on Amazon for less than $250. The install was simple and the unit looks good I'm my Toyota.This is the newer version of the AVH-1400DVD with a bigger screen (6.1 versus 5.8), The mixtrax, and the ability to use App Radio a huge plus for me so basically you get the App Radio and all the other features of The AVH-1400DVD for the same price.To use the App radio you have to get the Pioneer CDIOU201S cable and hook it up to the rear of the radio. If you want the ability to use the apps and watching a DVD without having the vehicle parked I would get the Microbypass interface also an easy install.I've had this deck for over a month and I get a lot of comments, the deck sounds great running on my factory speakers. I recommend this deck for anyone looking for a nice deck for a cheap price.

Just installed this in a 2002 F150 this weekend. It will fit but with some modification to the inside of the dash. Wiring harness was easy and color coded the same as the harness for the vehicle. Wire ends could have been pre stripped but no big deal. Also got the parking brake override from amazon and that was easy to install when hooking up the wiring harnesses. The aux jack is in the rear of the unit so I picked up a male to male 3.5 mm stereo wire (6ft) from walmart and ran it through the cup holder compartment. Picture quality is great, but gets a little washed out from the sun as they all do. Overall, for the price, this unit is great. Pieces not included but recomended: Vehicle specific harness-$5 on amazon. Vehicle specific face plate trim-$10 amazon. Parking brake override $15-20 amazon. 6foot aux cable $5 walmart but could probably find it on amazon. Not difficult to install but dont try it if you dont have the right tools and some basic knowledge of how things work

This is an initial review the same day I installed the radio. I hope to extend the review as I use the radio more and get a better appreciation for what it can and cannot do. This review ended up being a hodgepodge of various things about the radio, however these were details I couldn't determine from product description or other reviews.I bought this radio for the more "advanced" things it can do. Like playing movies and TV shows off of external drives, hooking car PCs up to it, etc. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about what it does well, because I think other reviewers have covered the positives. I'm going to point out some negatives that I did not discover until actually using the unit.USB drive format: I planned on plugging my 1TB external HDD into this, and having full access to the huge number of TV shows and movies on the drive. Unfortunately the radio would not recognize the drive at all. After some digging through the specifications I found that the radio only works with FAT and FAT32 formatted drives, which is probably pretty rare nowadays when it comes to large drives.Video file formats: The radio does not recognize a number of popular video container formats, like 3GP, MP4 and MKV. It won't even list files with those extensions.AVI audio: I tried playing an AVI with DIVX video encoding and MP3 192kbps audio. For some reason it says "Unsupported audio format" and plays only the video. It does properly play a video with a 110kbps audio stream, so perhaps it doesn't play 192kbps?It does play many of my other videos perfectly, however I was disappointed early on with the number of videos that it cannot play. I was hoping for better versatility and compatibility in this day and age.The JPEG picture loading is rather slow (scans down the screen from top to bottom over the course of a second or two). There is also a noticeable flickering in areas of the picture with fine detail. I think the screen might be interlaced and renders every other line each pass, which causes flickering where there are pronounced horizontal lines in the picture.The GUI is reasonably responsive (don't think it's super smooth like an iPhone or modern Android phone - the scrolling menus, etc, are a little bit laggy). It is definitely faster than the older model AVH-P1400DVD my local Walmart has on display (for $80 more too, LOL).For its size, the screen is high enough resolution to look sharp and clear.The audio quality is very good, however radio reception seems slightly less clear than the stock premium Ford radio in my Eddie Bauer Explorer - stations I'm used to listening to are perhaps a little more noisy with the Pioneer..When turning the car on, the radio startup time is fair, but not great. For example if you were playing a movie off of a DVD or USB drive it will have to reload / buffer the movie, which takes a few seconds. I have a Nissan Quest with a factory entertainment system and it always resumes instantly (I assume it buffers several seconds of the DVD into memory).The Aux Input (3.5mm headphone jack style) on the back of the unit is very close to the midline of the radio, which is where a mounting bracket goes for Ford Explorer type installations. I recommend a right-angle plug for if you want to hook up to the aux input for that type of vehicle, otherwise the plug is right up against the bracket which pushes it over at a bit of an angle.The Mute button is directly below the Volume Down button and is easy to hit by accident. I've muted it a couple times when I was just trying to turn it down a little.As far as I can tell, the night-time display dimming only dims the LCD screen and not the illuminated buttons on the left of the unit. So those buttons stay pretty bright at night. I can't find any setting in the radio the change the illumination brightness - only the color. The LCD panel dimming is not variable - when you turn your headlights on it goes to a preset dimmer brightness level, but does not get brighter or dimmer as you adjust your gauge lighting up and down using the vehicle's control.The A/V input works fine with my Raspberry Pi computer, as expected. However it would be nice to be able to change the A/V button's icon in the menu. The icon is a video camera, and I'm not sure how many people would be plugging video cameras into their car radio, so it's probably not very applicable.The radio could use a tremendous amount of additional customization settings. Like being able to have different layouts for the Radio screen, additional animated background, etc.
