When you decided to kick around for a new stereo, Pioneer was probably one of the first names that came to mind. That's becuase you know you're getting good stuff, and the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX is no exception to that rule.
This stereo is one of Pioneer's flagship units, which if you didn't already know, simply means it's really awesome. Yeah, you get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get AppRadio Mode, which also allows you to control certain apps on the stereo. You can also control your entertainment and your passengers' entertainment with Dual Zone Entertainment. Let them watch DVD's while you jam out to your favorite roadtrip music up front.
Not to mention, you also get iDataLink Maestro. As long as you install the proper module for your vehicle, you can get tons of information on your ride's status, like whether you need to air up your tires or get the "Check Engine" codes instead of just that annoying light. But keep reading! There's more to love, certainly enough for you to hit that "Add to Cart" button.
This stereo features Apple CarPlay - a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right on your head unit's display. You can get directions, make and receive calls and messages, and listen to music. Just plug in your iPhone and go! You can learn all about Apple Carplay on the Sonic Electronix blog here.
Android Auto brings the Android operating system into your car in a way like never before. Android Auto takes your favorite apps from your Android phone and displays them on your head unit's display. Get directions from Google Maps, stream your favorite music make and receive calls and messages without having to take your hands off the wheel! You can learn more about Android Auto on the Sonic Electronix blog here.

Pioneer AVH- 4200NEX
This is a great head unit. In fact it's so nice, that Pioneer released it twice. In 2016 as the 4200NEX and in 2017 as the 4201NEX (same unit but with a backup camera included). It has a ton of features like Apple Carplay, built in HD tuner, direct Ipod controls, Android Auto, and a detachable face panel for security. It also has a ton of fine tuning features for full customization of your sound system. I just upgraded from the AVH-p8400bh that I've had in my car for 5 years and there's still nothing wrong with it (just wanted newer technology). All in all, this is the one to have if you're a Pioneer fan.

This is a great deck and has surpassed all of my expectations. I last had a Kenwood double din DVD deck and this ones simplicity and ease of use are amazing. It looks great, sounds great, and has every feature that I need. HD radio, CDs, DVD, XM, and Android Auto all work flawlessly and sound fantastic. You cannot go wrong with this deck. Android Auto looks a little pixelated, but the other source interfaces are crystal clear. I think it is a limitation of the Android software, not the Pioneer hardware.

I finally found the perfect headunit in my budget. The 4200NEX checks every box with your standard HD Radio, Sirius XM support, Bluetooth, etc. but takes it a step further with Android Auto. I haven't used Apple CarPlay but AA is great and works flawlessly with this unit. You also have AV input for cameras, SD card, AUX, CD, and iDatalink capability.
Overall the menus are very snappy and there is no lag or choppiness when scrolling or changing sources. The 13 band EQ is nice but you also have features like time alignment and individual speaker level adjustment. Crossovers are very easy to set with many different configurations allowing you to adjust the frequency as well as the slope.
I was concerned to motorized touchscreen would be fragile but that is not the case as the entire unit feels solid and very well made. One complaint I do have after owning the AVH-X3800BHS is the lack of built in Spotify support. The cheaper and older 3800 had a native Spotify app that was very easy to use and my favorite feature of the radio. However the 4200NEX no longer features this app and only natively supports Pandora. You can still stream Spotify though Bluetooth, but outside of skipping tracks you have to use your phone to change the music.
Android Auto is amazing. The maps work great with AA, and there are several supported music apps. The voice commands work well but I've had issues when driving in areas where cell service is spotty. I do dislike the 6-tap limitation Google implemented for safety - I feel like this will just cause more people to use Bluetooth to stream their music instead of AA and just rely on AA for maps when needed. Let's say you are trying to find a playlist or artist in any music app through AA. If you tap the screen 6 times it will freeze and not allow you to continue searching until you pull over or stop moving. If you can get past this then AA really is awesome with you music, maps, phone dialer and voice commands all accessible from one simple homescreen.
Overall the 4200NEX is a great buy for someone looking to add a lot of versatility when it comes to playing music in the car as well as being able to use your smartphone for navigation. EQ and crossovers are done right and easy to set allowing for great control over your sound before it's played through your amp or speakers. I would definitely buy this product again...and probably will for my girlfriend's car.

I give the radio a 5 star rating. Looks great; however, I have not even been able to touch the surface on what the entire radio can do. Crystal clear radio and bluetooth.

Excellent sound and features, as long as you have iPhone. Android Auto only works with very few android devices. No support for Samsung, so check your phone for compatibility first. Pioneer does not publish a list, Crutchfield is the only place I could find one.
