About the Pioneer DMH-241EX

Dominic DeVito

Pioneer treats your eyes and ears

In the old days, you didn't have much info at your disposal in your dash beyond a few numbers or letters. But with a convenient touchscreen in the dash, you can check out album artwork, change sources, and adjust the sound with aplomb. Pioneer's DMH-241EX multimedia receiver puts you in charge via its 6.2" display, and it enables voice control of your smartphone for hands-free operation. You also get Bluetooth® for streaming audio and phone calls, and sonic upgrades galore. And you can connect a rear-view camera to the DMH-241EX for an easier time backing in and out of parking spots. To top it all off, Pioneer includes a wireless remote control.

Your smartphone companion

This receiver works with Pioneer's WebLink, so you can access select apps from your phone in a road-friendly manner through the DMH-241EX's display. And if you add Pioneer's Vozsis app to your smartphone, you can command Amazon Alexa through this receiver to pull up music, deliver weather reports, place orders, and do many other helpful tasks with your voice.

Bluetooth for wireless control

Bluetooth lets you safely enjoy hands-free calling, plus you can access the media on your smartphone. Choose from tracks in your digital library or stream audio like podcasts... wirelessly. This Pioneer radio also allows you to pair two phones for quick and easy access — a handy feature for the family ride.

Enjoy media from your phone, thumb drive, and elsewhere

Rock out to your old music library! Plug your old-school music player into the auxiliary input, or connect your iPod®, iPhone® or other compatible devices to the front USB input. Pioneer also gives you control from the DMH-241EX over compatible Android devices, even displaying metadata such as track, artist, and album name when it's available. And this radio can play your high-resolution FLAC files from a thumb drive, so you can take your favourite downloads on the road with you. While the car is parked and the parking brake is engaged, you can view video from an outboard video player or a USB drive.

13-band EQ

All your digital music will sound awesome on the DMH-241EX, thanks to a 13-band equalizer that brings out the best in any genre of music. And if you want to bring even more punch to your system, you can connect an amp or powered sub to the preamp outputs.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

iPod/smartphone note: If you're going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.

    Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner: The Supertuner IIID AM/FM tuner features Feed Forward Control, which avoids multi-path interference. This pre-detection of interference enables quick filter control and results in less distortion. In addition, the Supertuner IIID creates enhanced stereo during multi-path interference, unlike conventional tuners that collapse to mono.

    • Local Tuning: Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for good reception. There are 4 levels of sensitivity for FM and two levels for AM. The higher settings allow reception of only the strongest stations, while lower settings let you receive progressively weaker stations.
    Amp & Audio Section

    24-Bit/192kHz DAC: For superb quality audio playback, the Pioneer DMH-241EX is equipped with a 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converter.

    MOSFET Internal Amplifier: The Pioneer DMH-241EX is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.

    • CTA-2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
    • Continuous Power Output: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD)
    • Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (or 50 watts x 2 channels at 4 ohms + 70 watts x 1 channel at 2 ohms for subwoofer)
    Note: The power specifications for the DMH-241EX are compliant with the CTA-2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers.

The head unit features a HPF (High Pass Filter) for its front & rear speaker-level or preamp outputs. The HPF's crossover frequency can be set to 25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, or 250 Hz. The head unit features a LPF (Low Pass Filter) for its subwoofer preamp output. The LPF's crossover frequency can be set to 25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, or 250 Hz.

    EEQ (Easy EQ) + 13-Band Graphic EQ: There are six stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. You can choose from - Powerful, Natural, Vocal, Super Bass, Flat, or Custom.. The Custom EQ modes allow you to manually adjust the level (+/- 12dB) of each band of the head unit's 13-band graphic equalizer (50, 80, 125, 200, 315, 500, 800, 1.25k, 2k, 3.15k, 5k, 8k, and 12.5k Hz).

    Bass Boost & Loudness: You can easily boost the subwoofer bass level by using the Bass Boost function. The Bass Boost feature allows you increase the subwoofer level from 0 to +12 dB. The Loudness function compensates for deficiencies in the low- and high-frequency ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness to High, Mid, Low, or Off.

    AV + Camera Connectivity

    Video Output: A single RCA composite video-output jack allows you to an add external monitor, such as rear headrest or overhead monitor (sold separately). The video output will display whatever image is being displayed on the head unit's touchscreen monitor. This includes the warning "Video Is Disabled For Your Safety" when trying to watch video from the AV input or USB port without the vehicle's parking brake engaged. You will need to engage the vehicle's parking brake to see video from these sources through the head units' video output.

    Note: WebLink is not supported by the video output.

When the vehicle's transmission is put in reverse, the screen automatically switches to the rear view camera (violet/white wire of the harness must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit for automatic video switching). Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.2 seconds.
    • Camera View: There is also a Camera View mode which allows you to manually bring up the rearview camera image on the receiver's touchscreen monitor to check what is behind you while driving. You can leave the Camera View mode on if you want to see the rearview image at all times; for instance when towing a trailer.
    Note: The rear view camera feature is meant as a back-up aid only; never solely rely on the rear-view camera when backing-up. In addition to using the rear-view camera, always look behind you to make sure everything is clear when backing up your vehicle.
    Touchscreen & Remote Control

    Clear Resistive LCD Touchscreen: The Pioneer DMH-241EX features a 6.2" clear resistive LCD touchscreen display with a resolution of 800 (RGB) x 480, for a total of 1,152,000 pixels.

In order to watch video on the in-dash monitor, the vehicle must be stopped with the parking brake engaged. The head unit's light green wire must be connected to your vehicle's parking brake detection circuit. The head unit's touchscreen will display a "Caution" message, if you try to watch a video when your vehicle is in motion.

    Note: The parking brake wire must also be connected and the parking brake engaged for certain setup functions and menu options.

    Dimmer: To prevent the touchscreen display and button illumination from being too bright at night, the illumination is automatically dimmed when the car's headlights are turned on. The automatic dimmer function only works when the orange/white illumination wire in the wiring harness is connected to the vehicle's headlight circuit. You can also turn on or off the dimmer manually.

    Remote Functions: The Pioneer DMH-241EX digital multimedia receiver includes a wireless remote control and offers steering wheel control capability (adapter required).

    • Wireless Remote Control: The Pioneer DMH-241EX includes an IR remote control (CXE5116) for wireless operation of the digital multimedia receiver and your connected devices. The included remote does offer Bluetooth phone, WebLink, or Amazon Alexa functions.
    • Optional Steering Wheel Controls: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

    Beep Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. You can turn this feature on or off.

    I have a 2014 Chevy impala limited and want to go with this touchscreen radio, my vehicle does not have factory Bluetooth or steering wheel controls, would I be able to but this radio with the basic kit and still be able to use the Bluetooth setting of the radio or would I need to buy the advanced kit to make sure it all worked properly?

    Great question, Derek. I am assuming that you do not have the factory Bose speaker setup in your Impala limited. Going with the basic install kit with the radio in the link below, you can still use the Bluetooth on the radio no problem! Make sure to remember to run the included microphone with the Pioneer to enjoy hands-free calling as well as Bluetooth music streaming. https://www.crutchfield.com/I-rXYEc222/cart/EmailCart.aspx?emKey=3108757

    Is there a way to see the cabin temperature settings on the display? The knobs do not have tabs that stop the dials once they are turned all the way one way or the other. So it's difficult to adjust the cabin temperature and volume of air.

    The ability to see those particular display settings might be down to the wiring that you are using in your vehicle with that particular radio.

    matthew  Jan 14, 2023
    1 answer
    A
    You have a good amount of USB video file support on the Pioneer DMH-241EX, Matthew. The full specs are listed below: AVI: 1920 x 1080/30fps (4GB) MPEG4: 1920 x 1080/30fps (4GB) MKV: 1920 x 1080/30fps (4GB) MOV: 1920 x 1080/30fps (4GB) FLV: 1920 x 1080/30fps (4GB) WMV: 1920 x 1080/30fps (4GB) I would make sure you are using the file formats above, and also using files smaller than 4GB. Also note that you can only play videos on the Pioneer when the parking brake is applied with the vehicle not in motion. I hope this helps!

    Greetings Jerred, and thank you for your question. Answer is kind of sort of. The Pioneer DMH-241EX has something called mirroring. That screen will display everything your phone can display when you download a Pioneer app on your phone. That only works when you have the vehicle parking brake engaged. You might want a stereo that offers Apple Carplay/Android Auto instead.

    Q
    How do I connect an aftermarket powered subwoofer to this? I haven't done a system in a couple years and am familiar with having RCA inputs on the back of the head unit. Do I have to get a subwoofer out-RCA input conversion cable or can I still just plug regular RCA cables from the amp to the speaker out/inputs on this harness?
    hunter  Jun 02, 2022
    1 answer
    A
    Thank you for your question Hunter. The Pioneer DMH-241EX has a dedicated mono (single) RCA out for a subwoofer amplifier (powered sub). If your powered sub has a left and right RCA input, like most have. You will need an RCA Y adapter cable from the Pioneer to both the left and right RCA inputs on your powered sub. Current Crutchfield item number 142RFF, and of course the RCA cable itself.

    I have this radio in our wrangler. Why it doesn't have a CD player. There are quite a few option to play your music. You can just use the Bluetooth option or plug directly in the usb on the front of the radio. I have a kenwood 376 in my truck. It has a dvd/cd player. Love the radio but getting Kenwood radios with the shortages is tough. The pioneer does have a neat function where you can web link your phone to the radio. Basically when your phone is horizontal after connecting. You see the same screen on your radio. Also you can play YouTube videos on it. There is probably more but that's what I have used it for.
