Will this unit allow you to have a DVD playing on an external monitor while using Android auto on the head unit for navigation for instance?

[@deckerdotto6035]

The Pioneer AVH-2550NEX will not work that way. However, the Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX / AVIC-8600NEX will play a DVD to a rear monitor with headphones for sound while using Android Auto on the in-dash receiver screen. Pioneer calls this Dual Zone operation. You can learn more about Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfKf3-Ols-ljtU You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZbin Channel here: kzbin.info

thank you for the video. Can a USB hub (splitter) be used to connect an iPhone AND a USB flash drive at the same time? If it's truly a USB connection, it should allow more than one device on the single port included with the radio. Can't find anything online. Thanks!

[@deckerdotto6035]

A USB Hub is not supported and does not work. If you want more than one USB port, please consider Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3vMlaaGhbt-pKM It has 2 USB ports and your iPhone can be connected Wireless for Apple CarPlay.

Deckerd Otto / thank you for the detailed response! Very helpful.

Will this allow OBDII information to be displayed? 2005 Yukon XL. Thank you.

[@deckerdotto6035]

I think the answer is no, but you should do your own research to be certain. The Pioneer AVH-2550NEX will work with idatalink Maestro RR to show live gauge and other OBD-II information on the receiver's screen. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYmbk3iKfc-Nock However, your 2005 Yukon XL is an older vehicle, and may not be supported by Maestro. You can take a look here: maestro.idatalink.com/ Steering wheel controls will work.

Deckerd Otto thanks for the reply. No go on a 2005. It’s starts at 07’. I’m still looking for a solution, even if it’s a separate screen.

[@deckerdotto6035]

You might consider products from Palmer Performance. It may be possible to use an OBD-II Bluetooth adapter to your phone or some other solution. You can learn more about them here: www.palmerperformance.com/

Except it won’t work. Mine doesn’t. Pioneer won’t fix the firmware so iOS updates kill CarPlay. Every time. Mine is useless.
