After testing the iPhone 5 with the 30 pin adapter and the current cable from pioneer:
Supports audio iPod output with ID3 data and album art
Supports audio out apps (like Pandora)
Supports controls (track change, thumb up, thumb down, next, etc)
Will NOT support video iPod, video app, or Enhanced App Radio functions.
Without the 30 pin adapter, (using the included USB cable) all you can do is charge the phone on the X/F/Z Series.
It appears that the newer AVH Series units supp

I meant to post this on October 15th, but got caught up in all the recent upgrades, so it's a slightly belated birthday.
Anyway... AVIC411 is 5 years old! Happy Birthday to us!
AVIC411 was created on October 15th 2005 and started with just a few posts made by myself.
It's now 5 years (and a few days) later and we have grown to over 219,000 posts, and have over 45,000 members.
AVIC411 has gone through 3 major software changes (phpbb2, phpbb3, Invision Power Board) and has needed to move to a
The latest software version 2.003 has just been released! This software is for the AVIC-X920BT, AVIC-Z120BT (and the AVIC-Z110BT that has been updated to the 2010 software.) Fixes: Phonebook contacts are no longer being displayed backwards (Last Name, First Name) on the headunit when using V-Cards. Contacts now always show (First name, Last Name). The biggest fix is that VR cataloging now starts correctly when the ok button is pressed.
Pioneer has just released an AVIC Feeds application for your iPhone! You can now find a location using google maps on your iPhone and send the destination via Bluetooth to your AVIC-Z110BT or U310BT.
I finally got around to filming and editing the long overdue demo videos of the Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT! Check them out in the forum here: http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29283
Pioneer’s new AVIC-X920BT integrates sophisticated navigation capabilities as well as new groundbreaking features, including a revolutionary 3D touch slide interface, Pioneer MusicSphere and ECO Graph.
It seems the user manual for the unreleased and unannounced AVIC-Z120BT has surfaced on Pioneer’s Site! It appears to be the same hardware as the Z110BT, but comes with the new software that was demoed at CES!
The 2010 Road Show has sadly come to an end, and AVIC411 was there with a exclusive first look at the new Z120BT. Here’s a summary of what we know: 1. The Z120BT is basically a Z110BT with new, radically improved software. 2. The Z110 will get a software upgrade at some point in time to turn it into a Z120.
Pioneer’s AVIC Feeds App for BlackBerry has just hit the app store! BlackBerry App World – AVIC Feeds Note: AVIC Feeds only supports the Blackberry Storm 9500 with OS version 4.6 or greater and the Blackberry Bold 9000 with OS version 4.6 or greater.
I’m a few days late with this announcement, but as of June 28th, Pioneer has updated the AVIC Feeds iPhone app to be compatible with iOS4! However, we’re all still anxiously waiting for PandoraLink to support multitasking.
Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., the leader in aftermarket car electronics technology, today unveiled its latest innovation, the game-changing AppRadio™.
