This is my second Pioneer nav unit. The first was a Pioneer AVIC D3 I bought from Crutchfield in 2008. I installed this into my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the 7 speaker Infinity system. I used the iDatalink Maestro RR kit in order to keep my steering wheel controls. The installation was straight forward. I called Crutchfield a couple of times with questions about some extra wires that didn't match up with the iDatalink wiring harness.
The sound on the head unit is superb. My Jeep has a factory power sub and it sounds great. The iDatalink works flawlessly. Much easier than any other adaptor I've used. There are a few customizable features on the stereo that are nice. You can set the color of the buttons to match your vehicles interior lights. If you install a rear camera you can even adjust the warning lines that show up on the monitor.
I just got the adaptor to run Appradio and so far, nothing. I need to look at the manual closely to figure this out. I'm afraid I wasted $60 for something that may be completely useless. When the back up camera comes on it says "Image may be reversed". Well mine is reversed, there should be a way to mirror the image.
One thing different I did was to mount the microphone beside the stereo. I never liked using the double sided tape and those little brackets for the mics. You can see the mic to the left side of the stereo.
