1-DIN, Modular, Floating

The SPH-EVO98DAB's modular design separates the screen panel from the main unit, so it can be mounted as a floating display or fitted in-dash into a standard 1-DIN slot. This makes it suitable for vehicles where a traditional stereo cannot be installed. If you prefer a more conventional size, Pioneer also offers the Pioneer SPH-DA160DAB as a standard head unit alternative.

13-Band Graphic Equaliser

Fine-tune acoustic settings in detail to match your preferences.

Advanced Sound Retriever

Restores high-quality sound from compressed digital audio files and Bluetooth audio streams.

Android Auto

Android Auto presents useful information as simple cards that appear when needed, keeping distractions to a minimum so you can stay focused on the road.

Apple CarPlay

Apple CarPlay lets you use your iPhone safely in the car — get directions, make calls, send and receive messages and listen to music while keeping your eyes on the road.

Aux-in

Connect a compatible device directly for straightforward audio playback.

Bluetooth

Built-in Bluetooth provides hands-free calling and audio streaming, keeping you legal and safe on the road.

Capacitive Touchscreen

The 9.0-inch capacitive touchscreen supports responsive multi-touch gestures including pinch-to-zoom, swipe and scroll.

Wi-Fi

Built-in Wi-Fi provides a cable-free connection between your smartphone and the receiver, supporting wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.

DAB+ Digital Radio

The built-in DAB+ tuner delivers digital radio in clear quality. The unit carries the Digital Radio Tick Mark, meaning it has been independently tested and verified against the minimum specification.

FLAC

Plays FLAC lossless audio files at CD quality with no need to convert files beforehand.

Modular Design

The screen panel installs separately from the main unit, expanding options for vehicles with limited or no dashboard space.

Multi-Colour Illumination

Adjust the display and key illumination colour to match your vehicle's interior lighting.

About the Pioneer SPH-EVO98DAB

From our tech experts at CEN

The Pioneer SPH-EVO98DAB is a 9 inch floating, modular car stereo with wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio and Bluetooth. Its modular design separates the screen from the main unit, allowing a floating display mount or a standard 1-DIN dash fit — including in vehicles where a conventional stereo will not install.

Who it suits

It suits drivers who want a large touchscreen but whose dashboard does not accept a standard head unit. The floating mount is particularly useful in vans and older vehicles with awkward dash layouts. For a more conventional head unit with CarPlay and DAB+, the Pioneer SPH-DA160DAB is worth considering.

Our tech experts advise

The DAB+ antenna (CA-AN-DAB.001) is sold separately and required for digital radio reception. Built-in Wi-Fi supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, though a wired connection also works. FLAC files play back at full quality via USB with no conversion needed. Installation cost varies by vehicle — visit our car audio installation in Nottingham page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this stereo fit my car?

A: Most vehicles need a fascia panel, wiring harness and sometimes a steering wheel control interface to fit a new stereo. Contact CEN with your make, model and year and we will confirm the exact installation kit needed, or browse our Connects 2 installation kits.

Q: Will I keep my steering wheel controls?

A: Yes, in almost all cases. A steering wheel control interface retains your existing buttons with the new stereo. Parts are sold separately.

Q: Does this stereo support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

A: Check the Specification tab, which lists smartphone connectivity for each model including whether CarPlay and Android Auto are wired or wireless on that unit.

Q: What is the difference between single DIN and double DIN?

A: DIN refers to the chassis size. Single DIN units are the traditional slim format, while double DIN units are twice the height and typically carry a touchscreen. Your vehicle's dash aperture and fascia kit determine which fits.

Q: Can CEN supply and fit the stereo?

A: Yes. CEN offers professional supply and installation from our Nottingham premises, including fascia, wiring and steering control integration. Contact us for a fitted price.

Q: Does the Pioneer SPH-EVO98DAB have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

A: Yes. The SPH-EVO98DAB supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and each can be used wirelessly or with a wired USB connection.

Q: What size is the SPH-EVO98DAB screen?

A: It has a 9.0 inch capacitive touchscreen that supports multi-touch gestures such as pinch to zoom, swipe and scroll. The screen panel is modular and can be installed separately from the main unit.

Q: Does the SPH-EVO98DAB come with a DAB aerial?

A: No. It has a built-in DAB+ tuner, but the DAB antenna (Pioneer CA-AN-DAB.001) is optional and sold separately. In the box you get the stereo, a wiring loom, a USB extension cable and an external Bluetooth microphone.
