Just bought my first 986 last month and installed the new pioneer 4660nex with a backup camera. Wireless CarPlay and duo Bluetooth were both things I didn’t know I wanted!

Looks great! I’ve been eyeing the 2660 and 4660 models because they can be a very clean install that looks close to OEM. No mismatching button shapes. No white button lighting that contrasts with the OEM amber/orange.

Your picture illustrates that point perfectly!

So your verdict is that the wireless CarPlay is worth the $250 premium?

Thanks!

There wasn’t really rhyme or reason on why I bought this other than picking the cleanest looking one from Crutchfield even if it cost a little more since this would be my forever car. I never had CarPlay and never cared for it when I would go on work trips and use it in my rentals. Always just used Bluetooth.

With that being said, now that it’s wireless- I love it. I don’t like plugging things in unless I need to charge it so this is great. What I didn’t even know I had with this is that when my wife is with me, we can play music or even take calls from either our phones without having to connect to another phone (in Bluetooth mode).

It’s the little things. I think the premium is worth it but to each their own. Gl!
