I'm new to the AppRadio and I have been searching all morning trying to figure out what the pros and cons are to the AppRadio vs a AVH / AVIC unit with App Mode.
Crutchfield has the AppRadio 3 w/ DVD and the AVH-X5500BHS for the same price. You seem to get so much more out of the AVH model, but why?
Am i missing something? What is the real difference between a dedicated AppRadio vs an AVH model with AppMode?
Are there features that may not work as well?
As for Navigation, if the AppRadio uses the Apple Maps app, or other navigation app, what makes an AVIC unit better?
I just trying to figure out what i'm missing, when a top of the line navigation AVIC unit is double the price of and AppRadio that can use your phone for navigation?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around the real differences between all of the units that Pioneer offers, aside from physical specs such as connections.
Sorry if my post is vague, it's my first post on here. Also, I do not have any shops in the area that have these units on display where i can hook my phone (iPhone 5) to it and really play with the features. So when it comes to how these units operate, other than YouTube videos, i'm completely in the dark.
