Pioneer's SPHERA is the first aftermarket car stereo for audio encoded with Dolby Atmos®. Pioneer's exclusive autotuning system will calibrate the interior of your vehicle to create an enveloping soundstage for all of your audio, not just Atmos encoded tracks. SPHERA also includes wired and wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and a 10.1" floating touchscreen display.

- Pioneer's exclusive autotuning system calibrates the interior of your vehicle and applies processed signal to your speakers
- 10.1" floating touchscreen display
- Compatible with wired and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Stereo Spatial Sound, this receiver's simulated spatial audio effect, creates realistic sound staging for music not encoded with Dolby Atmos — it can be switched on or off
- Luminous navigation bar lights indicate upcoming turns when using your navigation apps
- Shortcut Commands allow customizable split-screen keys, such as easy Listening Position toggle, EQ adjustment, Stereo Spatial Surround, and radio presets

Keep in mind:
- Currently Dolby Atmos only works with wired or wireless Apple CarPlay using source material from Apple Music, Audible, Apple Music Classical, and Wondery apps
- During receiver installation, you'll want to extend the rear AUX input to a place where you can access it, for connection to the included calibration microphone
- You can only view video on the receiver if the parking brake is connected and set
- For the best wired CarPlay performance, use an Apple certified USB cable
