Well I went and purchased app radio 2 last night to replace my old app radio 1. I installed it and did all the updates for the iPhone 5 and used all the proper apple cables. Except for a regular hdmi (which works fine). I think. The pioneer cable that you have to buy might include an hdmi and a new usb to pioneer deck connector minus the old 30 pin connector.So if anyone is thinking of making the jump, I'd say do it. So far driving around this morning I find app radio 2 much faster then the previous one. The waze GPS traffic app works but doesn't fit on the screen. I assume an update soon will fix that. I will post more later.

Currently using an iPhone 5 w/digital av adapter on AppRadio 2 (SPH-DA100):I haven't used waze but pandora works with the AppRadio touchscreen like its supposed to. I had the AppRadio 1 and upgraded to the 2 and its a world of difference. I really like the ability to be able to mirror my iPhone to the AppRadio so I can basically use any app I want on the bigger screen.

Alright. Thank you. I'll probably do the upgrade this weekend.

Thanks.

I'm currently using appradio 1 with an ipod touch. I don't mind the radio and I'm thinking of upgrading to the appradio 2. I have all the apple connectors and hdmi ready to go. So as long as the touch screen functions work ok. i think I might buy appradio 2. So do apps like waze and pandora all still work thru the touchscreen.?

Stupid question but.?

Is appradio 2 and iPhone 5 with the proper plugins and updates work like it used to with iPhone 4. Touch screen app works again.?

Thanks.

Pioneer announces iPhone 5 connectivity kits for AppRadio 2 and friends

As part of its CES 2013 announcements, Pioneer will launch iPhone 5 connectivity kits for 13 of its in-dash products some time this spring. This is bound to be a bit of entertainment relief for the many of you who've upgraded to iPhone 5 and found your Pioneer set's AppMode was unable to follow your chosen path. There will be three different connectivity kits available for purchase: the CD-IH202 (HDMI), CD-IV202AV (VGA) and CD-IV202NAVI (VGA) for the various devices types -- coupled with mandatory firmware updates for any head unit using digital connectivity. The HDMI solution will set you back $50 at the register and includes a 2-meter HDMI cable, a 1.5-meter 17-pin to USB charging cable for the iPhone 5, and the unfortunate need to purchase both the $19 Lightning to USB and $49 Lightning digital AV adapters. Compatible VGA sets will require a $100 kit which includes a proprietary interface cable and control module for all your audio and video needs, a 1.5-meter USB charging cable and the same two Apple Lightning cables as above. No mention of pack-in cable options going forward, though we'd assume a transition to iPhone 5 connectivity is where we'll eventually end up. We dig that Pioneer was able to get this to market, though, we're starting to think that a used iPhone 4 might ultimately be cheaper than the kit and extra cables required.
