Default Pioneer head unit

Hey all, I’ve had the Nex4200 pioneer headunit in my car for a couple years now and its been great. But then it started to go bad. First the rear view camera option stop function. Then, my front speakers started sounding muffled. After a few months the rears followed suit. The camera is function and the sound quality is consistent with any type of speak i hook up to the car which leaves the head unit. I’m asking for suggestions on a new head unit, preferably pioneer. My restrictions are that it needs Apple car play, reverse cam, and that it doesn’t look too tacky. And help is appreciated

Pioneer has gone downhill over the past few years, hence why you are having issues and I wouldn’t go for another one. From what I can see, Alpine is a the go to for CarPlay and there are many options for their cameras. Kenwood is still another favorite as well but doesn’t lend as much support to CarPlay. After an extensive search I went with an Alpine iLX 507 and used to be a pioneer guy. Waiting for a few more sound deadening items before everything gets installed.
