When your DMH-ZF8550BT receiver is installed in a compatible vehicle using the iDatalink Maestro RR interface# (sold separately), you’ll be able to enjoy the performance and features of the DMH-ZF8550BT receiver plus touchscreen control over key factory audio features.

SPLIT SCREEN FOR APPLE CARPLAY & ANDROID AUTO™
You can now display Apple CarPlay or Android Auto™ and the receiver’s menu at the same time on one screen. This function is useful such as when you want to operate the music (i.e. Radio or USB) while looking at the map screen.

“FLOATING/SEPARABLE” DISPLAY
The design of the DMH-ZF8550BT structure is unique, combining a universal 1-DIN size chassis with a large 9-inch display that can be configured for installation either as a floating mount type applicable to most vehicles1 or as an in-dash flush mount type in specific compatible vehicles2. When installed as a floating mount type, the screen offers horizontal, vertical and tilt adjustability to ensure the best fit and usability in the vehicle’s dash*.

SELECTABLE VIEWING MODES
Light / Dark mode for enhanced visibility – By changing the colors of the UI background and text, visibility and legibility can be optimized based on the ambient light conditions, such as day or night. Light mode is intended to reduce the effect of ambient light reflections in bright conditions (daytime), while Dark mode may help to reduce screen glare in dark conditions (nighttime). Light / Dark mode can be selected manually or set to automatically correspond to the time of day and/or illumination settings of the vehicle*.

WEBLINK® & WEBLINK® CAST
WebLink® enables a compatible smartphone with the WebLink Host app installed to display and control compatible third-party applications from the in-dash receiver touchscreen4.

WebLink enables this Pioneer receiver to deliver a modern infotainment system.

Additionally, with the built-in WebLink® Host application and a USB connection, drivers can also use the WebLink® Cast feature to mirror and interact with their iOS or Android smartphone’s screen on the receivers’ displays and access virtually all the same powerful navigation, communication, productivity and entertainment apps on a bigger screen and driver-friendly format.

CARAVASSIST APP

2 x PHONE FULL-TIME BLUETOOTH CONNECTION*

Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP, AVRCP 1.6) makes it possible to display information embedded in songs.

DUAL REVERSE CAMERA INPUTS
Reversing can be a stressful experience. The dual camera inputs allow you to connect a reverse camera as well an optional camera for improved safety (visibility of hazards) and peace of mind. Particularly helpful when parking your vehicle or towing.
