Pioneer DMH-W3000NEX Car Stereo Head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto

[@amplifier28]

Just installed mine on my 2012 Ford Focus SE hatchback. It works great. Highly recommended!!!

[@BreakersStereo]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@Zen-ix5kh]

Still happy with your purchase? Just wondering

[@amplifier28]

@ Yes I am. Just need to install the reverse camera I bought from Amazon

[@mea5541]

has your steering wheel functions randomly stopped working? mine did today after i unplugged the usb that was connected but we used that as a charger…

[@amplifier28]

[@AdventureRich]

Hi, there's a huge Android market out here that watches your videos, and it would be delightful to show us how easily (or not) the wireless Android Auto connects with our devices as you show with Apple Carplay. Just a humble suggestion. Great reviews as always, and thank you!!! 🙏🏽 I'll be pulling the trigger on one of these units 💪🏽

[@BreakersStereo]

I know!!! But no one at our shop has an Android phone… otherwise I would!! Might just get one so we can showcase it for the videos. Thanks for the comment

[@HAV0X_]

wow, awesome timing! i am researching this exact model right now and was getting annoyed that i couldnt find a video of it.

[@BreakersStereo]

Glad you found it!!

Just grabbed one today, getting the install tomorrow

[@SkrillaScramz]

@@StazIV update: I love it man, kept my factory camera and steering wheel controls. The wireless Apple CarPlay is flawless. It opened up my sound in my amp and subwoofer, now I just have to upgrade the door speakers and tweeters to get that full experience

At 5:50, looks like Jon Snow invaded your radio. Haw haw. I bought this head unit after watching your review, so thank you very much. Needed it, too, because winter is coming.

When you're doing reviews, do not cut the footage between the actions. How can one demo the responsiveness with cutting footage?

[@robertallen6710]

I don't get why none of these review vids on car receivers never show them installed and someone actually turns the thing on so we can hear it...

[@mvtwf]

Because sound isn’t captured well on most video recording equipment. Also, recorded sound doesn’t translate well to most user speakers. It wouldn’t be useful for us.

[@robertallen6710]

@@mvtwf I understand it couldn't record well...just turn the thing on, so we know it can make a noise...😁

[@1citiboy3]

Also why do they think I clicked on the video to see there lame faces… SHOW THE DEVICE!

[@yk44000]

Is it same as DMH-AP5650BT in Asian markets?

[@davidgunther1282]

What's the difference betwen this 3000 and the 3050?

[@DanielRichards644]

the only difference i've spotted comparing features is the 3050 supports the idatalink maestro thing the 3000 doesn't, there may be other "under the hood" differences with the chipsets but I cannot confirm anything there.

[@PersonOfAlien]

3050 has HD radio

[@Therealcalmrican]

@@PersonOfAlienis that worth the upgrade?

[@seawolf301]

@@Therealcalmrican Well its not only the HD radio its also what the other guy said, it can support the idatalink Meastro which if your car allows can show thing like ODB codes, gauges, door open/closed, tire pressure, things like that. For me, I don't really care about all that and I don't even listen to the radio, also it's more expensive to get the Maestro its about $150 for the wire.

[@GeorgeNovak]

Looking at this to replace the OEM headunit on my 2014 Tacoma. Is there any way to keep the factory mic and connect it to this unit, or am I going to have to run Pioneer's mic somewhere? Seem like connecting to OEM mics are a real pain point for some headunits. Steering wheel controls seem to be easier than before. Was looking at a Crux SWRTY-61N adapter, unless you have a better suggestion. Thanks!

[@2015gtbass]

What wire do the yellow wire with the steering wheel hooks up to.

[@jayisokay._]

Other than the low resolution screen and button placement would you say this is a practical and good all around stereo? I'm researching car stereos and don't need a cd player just wired/wireless apple carplay.

[@Tangov5559]

Does the screen tilt?

[@nassaubayroofing]

no

[@beardenstephen1]

At 9:40 in the video you give away your real reason WHY you seem to constantly "talk down" Pioneer HU's and you do it in almost every Pioneer video I've watched you do ! I do appreciate the time it takes to do the reviews & the knowledge you share but the Pioneer beatdown is kinda getting OLD.

[@BreakersStereo]

I gave it 4.5 stars!!! How is that a beat down!! lol!

[@user-uk3ob7hy8i]

What’s the difference between this and the DMH-W3050NEX?

[@TW-zm9lg]

I think the HD radio.

[@cwkwood]

Would you get this or the JVC KW-M785BW?

[@BreakersStereo]

JVC all day. Touch screen response is better and hdmi input. Also better signal out.

[@adamcicora]

@@BreakersStereo Thanks, I was wondering the same thing also!

[@alvincrowder9545]

I want to give this radio a try but i don’t think it’ll sound as good as the DMh-1500nex. That thing puts out some incredible sound for the price and I’ve yet to find a newer one in the same price range to outperform it

[@edwinflores2384]

I have a DMH-W3000NEX, the SWC option does not appear anywhere. I have tried a thousand ways and reset the radio many times and it does not work.

[@wanderlustdetailer]

Looking at this or one of the entry level Excelon’s (dmx709s). What would be your opinion on that?

[@KoolFredsGarage]

Is there a way to adjust the source volume on the w3050NEX like you could on the older pioneer 2660NEX?

[@Therealcalmrican]

Any one own the DMH-W3050NEX I’m adding this to a 16 Tacoma that has the most basic head unit out of all models. Is the HD worth the additional $?

[@curtlyangel7020]

Does the remote work with it?

[@Jesse.00]

All the settings don't do anything if you're using the preamp outs, right?

[@HankVenture-v4h]

If you mean the rcas that send the signal to the amp, it would affect the signal just the same

[@2015gtbass]

This would be a good upgrade for my x2700.

[@bandwagon240]

Just ordered this thing. I briefly saw in the menus: Driver Position. The ability to swap the volume to the right side is so crucial for a RHD vehicle like I have. Even the OG JDM Kenwood double-din I have has the knob way over on the left. Totally don't understand that.

[@pauloparranao5534]

Not a problem. Just got my radio the day before yesterday

It's Alpine, if I'm not mistaken, that doesn't let you put a custom wallpaper in theirs.

[@ryanjohnston1915]

Noticed you did not go over the am/fm radio. does it have hd radio where you can see who's playing or is it just the frequency of the station

[@alexajmiller971]

What do you mean by 'entry level'?

[@Snicker60515]

Because there are head units out there MUCH more expensive than this one, hence the term "entry-level".

[@ZeonStar77]

It’s 480. I have the 2000nex which is the same radio but with wired CarPlay only (and Maestro RR support.)

[@BreakersStereo]

480

[@Gio-go5xk]

Would you recommend this over the sony xav-ax4000?

[@lifestyle5173]

Does anyone know how the wireless CarPlay for this unit sounds? I have the 2770 with aftermarket speakers and the bass sounds distorted even at lower volumes. The CarPlay also cuts off at high volume and says I need to connect the gps antenna, I have to reboot the radio for it to reconnect.

[@rauland]

Make sure the EQ in your phone is turned off. As well as sound check and atmos (all within the music app settings on your phone). Inside the pioneer sound settings, make sure loudness/bass boost etc is turned off. If your speakers are still distorting after all that is turned off, they are not meant to play bass frequencies. What size are the speakers? Where are your crossovers set at?

[@Ultimetblokhed]

What would be the next step up from this? I'll be using Android Auto/Carplay 99% of the time and I know you said it works quicker in there, but the slow reaction in the Pioneer part is a bit concerning. Still can't beat the features for this price point. NVM I see there is a DMH-W3050NEX, but what is the difference between these two units?
