Pioneer AVH-ZL5150BT Apple CarPlay Android Auto Head Unit

Pioneer’s AVHZL5150BT is the perfect audio-visual solution for those of you who are after a fully featured Apple Carplay or Android Auto equipped source unit and have a vehicle featuring the larger 200mm dash aperture – like the popular Toyota Hiace and Hilux commercial vehicles. The AVHZL5150BT combines a huge 7” full colour touch screen with a brace of nice, large primary buttons on the left side, making adjustments of the main functions of volume control, home, return, and ejecting/loading the CD or DVD a breeze.

With your iPhone or Android phone connected via the rear mounted USB port you now have access to the main Apps via Carplay or Android Auto, while dual phone Bluetooth with recognition of up to 5 phones a must have for tradespeople on the move.

Tailoring the sound of your speakers couldn’t be easier or more comprehensive thank to the in-built 2/3-way crossover to ensure the correct frequency bands go to your mids, tweeters and subwoofers, with 13-band EQ and 6-channel time correction to assist as well. Capping this off are the 5-Wx4 internal amplified channels and a brace of 4-volt RSM RCA preouts to feed to external amplifiers if you need more volume.

The best iPhone experience on four wheels; Apple CarPlay is a smart and safe way to control your iPhone® in the car. Activate by  pressing the Pioneer touch-screen or voice recongition button, Apple CarPlay enables you to make calls, navigate with Apple Maps, listen to music, plus send and receive SMS messages.

You can now simultaneously connect and control 2 x smartphones via Bluetooth. The auto connection function automatically pairs the two phone so incoming calls can be picked up by either of the paired phones. No more having to pair and un-pair devices. Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP, AVRCP 1.6) makes it possible to display information embedded in songs.

Your Pioneer headunit can now directly control and play music from the Spotify app on your iPhone and Android smartphone.  Play, pause and skip tracks, or browse playlists, albums and radio stations, using the Pioneer controls.  If you are a Spotify premium user (requires a monthly paid subscription), you can enjoy ad-free, high quality music even when there is no internet connection.

Reversing can be a stressful experience. The reverse camera input allows you to connect an optional camera for improved safety (visibility of hazards) and peace of mind. Particularly when parking your vehicle or towing.

More advanced than ever before, Pioneer has introduced a powerful and intuitive touch-screen interface that is easy to use and highly customizable. Beautifully crisp with enhanced visibility, Pioneer now also supports 24-bit True Colour reproduction of up to 16,777,216 colours.
