According to our car radio expert
With the Pioneer SPH-DA120, you can listen to music, watch videos, and use apps without having to grab your phone. Via Apple CarPlay and AppRadio Mode, you control your mobile apps with the touchscreen of the car radio. Do you have an iPhone? Use Siri Eyes Free to give the radio voice commands. On top of that, you can also make hands-free phone calls via Bluetooth. This way, you keep both hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.

It is a very nice radio that you can adjust to your needs from color to background etc. It comes with 2 USB connections where you also get the cables that you can put away somewhere you want. To then connect a USB device, think of your phone and other data storage, for example.
The cable is long enough to get to a good location with most cars. (I'm guessing about a meter)
I used it with my iphone 6, carplay works very well and is nice to use. Bluetooth also works perfectly, it reconnects your phone every time your phone's bluetooth is turned on.
Appradio is of course still a bit under development so you should not think that you can sync every app with each other. I think this can be done more with the HDMI connection, but I haven't bought it yet, the HDMI to Lightning (iphone 6 connector connection) is not included, you have to buy it separately. For example, if you want to use an app like Flitsmeister, the sound will go over the speakers if the iPhone is also connected with bluetooth.
The supplied microphone is long enough to fit somewhere in your car, and works very well.
The supplied GPS antenna is also quite long (about 2.5 meters), which I myself mounted somewhere in the back near the rear window. This is advised by Pioneer itself so that you have a good connection with the satellites. I have not really experienced this myself (poor connection), but it is an extra to help your phone with GPS. Since I come from a big city myself, I have very little to do with bad GPS reception.
If you are a big user of CDs and DVDs, there is a negative point, namely, it does not have a CD and/or DVD player. This can be solved very well by means of the USB connections.
I am very satisfied with the product and would recommend it to anyone.

Initially a great purchase until I encountered cracks in the appearance of this radio. The build quality and appearance of the radio is nothing to complain about. Solid Pioneer quality. Furthermore, the sound that comes out of the radio is phenomenal and there is nothing to complain about.
However, the software of this brick is a disaster (something that really makes this radio a brick). Starting up and the interface of the radio is really a feast for every observant motorist. You notice everything that it is a polished version of Android with which everything is wrong.
Don't get me wrong, it seems like the designer of this radio thought it was a great idea on the drawing board to make this radio, but the (slow) interface and the high gloss screen make it practically unusable in my convertible.
Unfortunately I have to advise against this radio for anyone willing to spend that much money on a radio, there are better alternatives on the market.

First of all, very good service and handling from Coolblue! The radio itself works well, nice sound and installation in my BMW e39 went smoothly. Did need a vehicle-specific connection cable (also ordered from Coolblue) and a mounting frame (bought from a local car radio specialist). Radio, music via USB stick, music via iPhone (wired or bluetooth) and bluetooth telephony work perfectly! However, the apple carplay is a farce, you should certainly not do it for that. Only a few (apple) apps are available. For example to call, text or listen to music. Navigation via apple maps just isn't good enough if you're used to TomTom, Garmin or proprietary systems. The fact that apple carplay almost exclusively works with Siri and the latter works very poorly in Flemish, kills the entire idea. 3rd party apps like Coyote, Waze or other navi software don't work on carplay, which makes it extra useless for me.
