Overview
Modular solutions
Pioneer’s modular receivers are designed for applications, often in newer vehicles, where limited depth behind the dash prohibits the installation of a traditional receiver. This installation flexibility is achieved by physically separating the touchscreen display from the main AV unit, which contains the CPU, control system, radio tuner, amplifier, and input/output connections. This allows the main AV unit to be installed in a different location and not necessarily attached to the display unit, as is typically the case*. To simplify installation and increase vehicle applications, Pioneer, iDatalink, and Metra Electronics are partnering to develop vehicle-specific radio install kits** that make the Pioneer Modular Solutions both cosmetically integrated and simple to install.
* Sub-chassis remote installation may require either the RD-RGB150A or CD-RGB150E accessory, sold separately.
** iDatalink Maestro Radio Install Kits sold separately through Authorized iDatalink Dealers. Visit https://www.idatalinkmaestro.com/en for more information. Metra Electronics Radio Install Kits sold separately through Authorized Metra Electronics Dealers. Visit http://www.metraonline.com for more information.

iDataLink Maestro (RR & RR2)
Universal Radio Replacement Interface.

These settings would otherwise be lost after replacing the head unit. The built-in integration technology from Axxess also retains safety chimes through an offboard speaker, retains audio controls on the steering wheel, retains R.A.P. (Retained Accessory Power), and provides accessory power (12-volt, 10-amp) and NAV output for parking brake, reverse, and speed sense (sold separately).
Hi-res audio file playback via USB
Enjoy High-Resolution Audio music playback just as the musicians intended with higher than CD quality. With the Pioneer NEX Receiver you can play up to 5.6 MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital) files, and up to 192 kHz/24-bit WAV and FLAC files from an MSC formatted USB device.
FLAC
Your love of high-res audio does not need to stop at the front door. Enjoy FLAC files in your vehicle without the need to convert. Pioneer's NEX in-dash receivers were the first in the industry to offer playback of files encoded as high-res FLAC up to 192kHz/24 bit and provide playback output at CD quality. With Pioneer, your high-res FLAC is no longer confined to your home hi-fi system - put your music on the move.
Pioneer Advanced Sound Retriever
Hear more detail, warmth, and clarity that the artist originally intended, even from compressed audio files. Whether from USB or streaming services, and regardless of the level of audio compression from your lossy music sources, Pioneer's ASR enhances audio playback of compressed audio files, such as MP3s, by applying an algorithm to the audio signals. This counteracts the compression effects, providing a more detailed and natural sound.
Flexible Audio Output Management
The Pioneer Standard (2-Way) / Network (3-Way) function allows you to divide the audio signal into different frequency bands. You can then make precise adjustments with low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, as well as level, phase, and other parameters to match the characteristics of each speaker unit. Select STD for a Sub/Rear/Front setup, or NTW for a Low/Mid/High setup.
Audio Equalizer
The 13-band equalizer allows for detailed adjustments to your acoustic settings. This lets you tailor the equalization to match your car's interior acoustics and speaker characteristics as desired. Multiple EQ presets ensure that even users with basic acoustic knowledge can learn and enjoy the benefits of using an equalizer.
Time alignment
This feature allows for delay time and synchronizing from each speaker to be adjusted to correct any phase mismatches in the sound resulting from the listening position. No need for any acoustics degree to do the job, simply measure the distance between your listening position and the speakers, then enter these measurements into the Pioneer receiver.
