SINGAPORE: Pioneer Corp has launched the DMH-ZF8550BT, its latest in-dash receiver featuring a 9-inch touchscreen display and compatibility with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and WebLink.
Pioneer says the unique design of the DMH-ZF8550BT (Pioneer, please simplify product names for ease of recall like Maestro 100 as an example) greatly increases installation flexibility due to its universal 1-DIN size chassis and 9-inch display that can be installed as a floating type, protruding from the front surface of the dash, or as an in-dash type, mounted flush in the radio location of compatible vehicles or installation dash kits.
When installed as a floating mount type, the screen offers horizontal, vertical and tilt adjustability.
Featuring a large 9-inch WSVGA resolution(1024×600) touchscreen, the DMH-ZF8550BT also offers a split screen mode.

The DMH-ZF8550BT features a custom high-performance 48-bit dual-core DSP (digital signal processor) that enables advanced sound quality tuning and adjustability.
Pioneer-developed audio enhancements such as Time Alignment and Network Mode can provide adjustment of each speaker to create an optimal sound field specific to the user's listening position, while the 13-band graphic equalizer allows fine-tuning of output across the audible frequency spectrum.
The DMH-ZF8550BT is also equipped with Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever, which enhances compressed sound sources.
