  • Our take on the Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX

    The Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX is a modular double-DIN multimedia receiver with an 8-inch touchscreen that separates from the chassis, so it fits dashes where a full 8-inch screen won't. It runs wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plays FLAC and other files from USB, and includes HD Radio, SiriusXM readiness and a 13-band graphic equalizer. The screen resolution is modest at 800x480, and there is no built-in navigation or wireless CarPlay. It suits drivers with tight dash space who want a big screen and smartphone projection, but it trails newer rivals on display sharpness and wireless connectivity.
