Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX multimedia receiver for Android Auto, Apple CarPlay review

There's no in-car connectivity protocol that I can think of that isn't represented here in Pioneer's new flagship, the AVIC-8100NEX. This is a receiver that takes the kitchen-sink approach to in-car multimedia and smartphone connectivity.

The Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX features Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink, and Pioneer's AppMode smartphones, covering all of the integration bases. Onboard navigation won't leave the driver stranded should they forget their phone.

The 8100NEX carries a high MSRP and its overwhelming "kitchen sink" approach to features has us looking twice at less expensive NEX-series models.

The flagship AVIC-8100NEX isn't just the top of Pioneer's line, it's one of the best, most fully featured receivers on the market. Just make sure you're not buying more functionality than you really need.
