Which Pioneer Head Unit to replace W4500nex bootloop mess?


Recommended Posts

I bought one of the ebay oem copies to replace the failed SD in my W4500nex. Lasted about 4-5 months and now it's doing the same. I'm about ready to give up on W4500 it's so unreliable.

Of the newer Pioneer units, do we know which ones don't have firmware on SD cards or don't have this issue with bootlooping?

Requirements are wireless apple carplay. Nice to have would be Android Auto (wireless). Nav not required as I usually use WAZE for the police alerts.

Any insight would be appreciated.

The ebay copy of oem SD of course was just some no-name sd card, go figure.

Thanks.

I bought one a bit ago that came on a SanDisk card and it's been solid.
