About The Product

The Pioneer DMH-C2550NEX modular digital multimedia receiver offers installation flexibility with its 6.8″ capacitive touchscreen display, which can be mounted separately from the hideaway main AV chassis. This chassis contains the processor, memory, tuner, amplifier, and all input/output connections. The DMH-C2550NEX features the latest connectivity solutions, designed for today’s smartphone-driven lifestyle. Features include built-in Bluetooth®, Pioneer Vozsis with Alexa app, Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, SiriusXM-Ready™, and built-in HD Radio™.

Modular solutions

Pioneer’s modular receivers are designed for applications, often in newer vehicles, where limited depth behind the dash prohibits the installation of a traditional receiver. This installation flexibility is achieved by physically separating the touchscreen display from the main AV unit, which contains the CPU, control system, radio tuner, amplifier, and input/output connections. This allows the main AV unit to be installed in a different location and not necessarily attached to the display unit, as is typically the case*. To simplify installation and increase vehicle applications, Pioneer, iDatalink, and Metra Electronics are partnering to develop vehicle-specific radio install kits** that make the Pioneer Modular Solutions both cosmetically integrated and simple to install.

Apple CarPlay (Wired)

This receiver features Apple CarPlay, the smarter, safer and more fun way to use your iPhone® in the car. Apple CarPlay gives iPhone users an incredibly intuitive way to make calls, use Maps, listen to music, and verbally send and listen to messages with just a word or a touch. Apple CarPlay requires iPhone 5 device or newer with the latest version of iOS.

Android Auto™ (Wired)

This receiver features Android Auto, which extends the Android platform into the car in a way that’s purpose-built for driving. Android Auto automatically brings you useful information and organizes it into simple cards that appear just when they’re needed. It’s designed to minimize distraction so you can stay focused on the road ahead. Android Auto is compatible with Android phones running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later. Android Auto may not be available on all Android smartphones.

Siri® Eyes Free – touchscreen

HD Radio

Besides broadcasting in clear digital quality, many stations offer extra local FM channels so you can enjoy more music, news, and sports – all 100% subscription FREE!

Wired Remote Input

This receiver integrates an input specifically designed to connect a third-party interface (optional) which will allow you to keep the key functions from the steering wheel control buttons of your vehicle. (if applicable)

iDataLink Maestro (RR & RR2)

Universal Radio Replacement Interface. The Maestro RR and RR2 connect to iDatalink-compatible radios to enhance your multimedia experience with exclusive gauges, vehicle information, parking assistance, climate control, and radar detection screens. They retain the factory infotainment features you love, such as steering wheel controls, voice commands, and more (sold separately).

FLAC

Your love of high-res audio does not need to stop at the front door. Enjoy FLAC files in your vehicle without the need to convert. Pioneer’s NEX in-dash receivers were the first in the industry to offer playback of files encoded as high-res FLAC up to 192kHz/24 bit and provide playback output at CD quality. With Pioneer, your high-res FLAC is no longer confined to your home hi-fi system – put your music on the move.

Pioneer Advanced Sound Retriever

Hear more detail, warmth, and clarity that the artist originally intended, even from compressed audio files. Whether from USB or streaming services, and regardless of the level of audio compression from your lossy music sources, Pioneer’s ASR enhances audio playback of compressed audio files, such as MP3s, by applying an algorithm to the audio signals. This counteracts the compression effects, providing a more detailed and natural sound.

Flexible Audio Output Management

The Pioneer Standard (2-Way) / Network (3-Way) function allows you to divide the audio signal into different frequency bands. You can then make precise adjustments with low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, as well as level, phase, and other parameters to match the characteristics of each speaker unit. Select STD for a Sub/Rear/Front setup, or NTW for a Low/Mid/High setup.

Audio Equalizer

The 13-band equalizer allows for detailed adjustments to your acoustic settings. This lets you tailor the equalization to match your car’s interior acoustics and speaker characteristics as desired. Multiple EQ presets ensure that even users with basic acoustic knowledge can learn and enjoy the benefits of using an equalizer.

Time alignment

This feature allows for delay time and synchronizing from each speaker to be adjusted to correct any phase mismatches in the sound resulting from the listening position. No need for any acoustics degree to do the job, simply measure the distance between your listening position and the speakers, then enter these measurements into the Pioneer receiver.
