At CES today, Pioneer Electronics is debuting new floating radios in its NEX line including a 10.1-inch model and two 9-inch versions.
The new Pioneer 2020 decks include:
- DMH-WT8600NEX (10.1 inch) / DMH-WT7600NEX (9 inch): Models feature an all-new floating display configuration, allowing a large display to be installed using a universal 1-DIN chassis. The floating screen offers horizontal, vertical and tilt adjustability. The DMH-WT8600NEX has a suggested price of $1,200, and the DMH-WT7600NEX has a suggested price of $1,000.
- DMH-WC6600NEX (9 inch): This model joins Pioneer’s lineup of modular solutions in-dash receivers introduced at CES 2019 that feature a modular design combining a large touchscreen display with a hideaway control unit that installers can tuck into separate compartments of the automobile. The DMH-WC6600NEX has a suggested price of $900.
- DMH-W4660NEX / DMH-W4600NEX (6.8 inch): Traditional 2DIN chassis for universal application in most vehicles on the road in the U.S. Both units have a suggested price of $600.
We’ll be reporting on more Pioneer news after visiting its booth today.

I don’t like the floating trend.. but I’m sure a custom trim can be made to flush them in…
The only question I have is when is it available to purchase?
March
I’d be pleasantly surprised – probably more like April or May.
How will they address the fascia of double-din openings?
Unless I missed it- I don’t see listed under the features that any of these have Apple Car Play or Android Auto.
These are all-wireless radios: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Wireless. Thank you for pointing out the omission. I’ve now added it to the story!
Bashir is right. I told a few Wrangler JL owners about the new Metra 7″ dash kit announced at CES and the response was, “only 7?”. Consumers nowadays expect bigger than 7″, this is a good thing.
don’t need ’em don’t want them.
Large, floating style displays have become the industry trend. I think this is a good thing as it will allow us to compete with factory offerings and breathe some fresh air into a declining category in our business.
