Pioneer DMH-1500NEX digital multimedia receiver

Touchscreen awesomeness

Step up from knobs, confounding menus, and a weak display to the customizable 7″ touchscreen awesomeness of Pioneer’s DMH-1500NEX digital multimedia receiver. With an impressive range of music sources, hands-free calling, music streaming, and a host of sound-sculpting tools, this radio brings Pioneer’s A-game to your dash. And then there’s the next-level smartphone integration of Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, which seamlessly integrates the best of your smartphone backed by top-notch voice control. Hittin’ the road has never sounded so good.

Your phone meets your radio

With your iPhone® or Android™ smartphone connected to the DMH-1500NEX via USB, you’ll gain a variety of apps that are simple to switch between, whether you’re using this radio’s 7″ touchscreen or voice control.

Built-in Spotify and Pandora control

Do you depend on Pandora® and Spotify for your music? Pioneer builds touchscreen control of both services into this radio. It’s easy to get started — just connect your iPhone via USB or Bluetooth, or pair up your Android™ with Bluetooth® and you’re all set, with most of the controls you’re accustomed to using.

Get it like you like it

Organize the DMH-1500NEX according to your needs and tastes, with different backgrounds and key colors. Just set your home screen to display your favorite sources, and then switch between them with just a single touch, so you can keep your focus on the road.

Ready for satellite radio

SiriusXM satellite radio offers an unparalleled selection of music, news, sports, and entertainment programming that you can enjoy wherever your travels take you. The DMH-1500NEX is SiriusXM-ready®, so all you need is a subscription and a SiriusXM tuner to experience the awesomeness.

Wireless control

Thanks to Bluetooth, this Pioneer features hands-free calling with your compatible phone, plus the ability to wirelessly stream and control music from all the phones in your family. Use Siri Eyes Free voice control, with your compatible iPhone, to place calls, select music, hear notifications, add reminders — even compose and listen to text messages.

Watch video too

Add an optional rear-view camera to see what’s behind you on this 7″ touchscreen when you shift into reverse. And when you’re parked, the receiver’s Clear Resistive touchscreen plays video content in bright, clear detail. You’ll be able to view video content from your smart device with the addition of optional cables.  You can also keep your passengers entertained by sending video from the receiver to a rear-seat screen.

Tune to your heart’s delight

The list of audio controls includes a 13-band graphic equalizer, time alignment, and automatic equalization (optional microphone required), along with built-in high- and low-pass crossovers with adjustable points and slopes. With playback capability of high-res FLAC files up to 192kHz/24 bit, you’ll achieve a listening experience on the par with the at-home experience.

iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras

Pioneer offers compatibility you won’t find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you’d otherwise lose when you install a new radio. Once you’ve identified your vehicle, you’ll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it’s compatible.
