Why Upgrade Your Volkswagen to a Pioneer 9" Apple CarPlay Head Unit?
The Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT provides a major technology upgrade for compatible Volkswagen vehicles, replacing the factory stereo with a large 9" touchscreen and modern smartphone connectivity. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers can access navigation, music, phone calls, messages and compatible smartphone applications directly through the Pioneer touchscreen.
The combination of the Pioneer DMH-AP6850BT and Aerpro AKVW13 is an ideal solution for customers searching for a Volkswagen Apple CarPlay upgrade, Volkswagen Android Auto head unit, Volkswagen 9" touchscreen stereo or Volkswagen aftermarket head unit upgrade.
The Pioneer also delivers substantial audio processing capabilities, including a 48-bit dual-core DSP, manual time alignment, 3-way network mode, high-pass and low-pass filters, subwoofer control and 4V RCA pre-outs.
