Our take on the Pioneer Electronics DMH-160BT-II

The Pioneer DMH-160BT-II is a 2-DIN in-dash multimedia receiver with a 6.8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth audio, and both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It adds a rear USB-A port, a backup camera input, SiriusXM readiness, and Spotify and Pandora control. Power is modest at 22W RMS per channel across four channels, so most buyers will want an external amp for strong sound. It is a budget-friendly way to add modern phone mirroring to an older dashboard.

Questions and answers

Is the DMH-160BT-II worth it over the older DMH-160BT?
The II version keeps the same 6.8-inch screen and 22W x 4 power but is the current model to look for. If you find the original cheaper and only need wired CarPlay, it does the same core job.
Does it support wireless CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. It supports both wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth audio and a rear USB-A connection.
Will it fit my car?
It is a 2-DIN in-dash unit that fits most standard dashboards, and a wiring harness is included. Vehicle-specific dash kits and adapters may still be needed for some models.
Can I add a backup camera and SiriusXM?
Yes. It has a dedicated rear camera input and is SiriusXM-ready, though the SiriusXM tuner and subscription are sold separately.
How much power does it put out?
It delivers 22W RMS per channel across four channels, with a 50W x 4 peak rating. That is enough for stock speakers but an external amp helps if you want louder, cleaner sound.
When is it cheapest?
Head units like this tend to dip during holiday sales and car audio promotions. Check the price history on this page before buying.
