My son has it in his car. He loves it. There are a few issues though, it only works with App Radio-capable apps. There arent very many of them, but there is a navigation program that will work on the head unit display, and a few others that come from Pioneer. The first one he got was DOA but they eventually made good on it. There was some kind of a software bug and without an upgrade, the unit eventually bricked itself, and once it did that, you couldnt upgrade the firmware in the field any longer.

You wont need a CD player any longer because you can stick a ton of music on your Iphone, so I dont see any loss there. You wont be able to play video while the car is in motion unless you bypass the safety switch. That shouldnt bee a problem for you- I hope. The biggest downside is that when the iphone is not connected you essentially have nothing more than a very basic radio. That kind of stinks because Ive used his car a few times and dont have an iphone. So it there was no music, no navigation just AM or FM.

If you have specific questions ask.

I have this one its nice, dvd pandora through the phone you can view images from your phone videos and so on. You could even use the motionxgps app through the radio from your phone. It even has an input for a back up cam where u have two different settings one to turn it on automatically when youre in reverse or you can put it to turn on manually. Here in the bronx i got it put in for $550 without the iphone wire that you have to purchase seperate.

Keep us posted. I would really like to get one for my car. I use Android, and would like to keep using my music player and Google Navigation. When my kid got his App Radio 1, he had to switch to the Pioneer version of those apps because the radion only worked with their app radio ready apps. Last I cheked there were only a handful of apps.
Good Luck with the radio!
