No Pandora in App mode on AVH-5500BHS

[PBinNC]

I just got an AVH-5500BHS this week and I have a jailbroken IOS 6.0.1 iPhone and the current version of AppRadio Extensions. 

I have Pandora installed on my phone. When I go into App mode there is no Pandora icon. I have gone into the AppRadio Extensions in the Settings on my iPhone and turned on Pandora in the Show in Menu section for Unsupported Apps, but I still can't get a Pandora icon in App mode.

I've also exited out of App mode on the radio, started the built in Pandora source on the HU and then went into App mode and the music stops. 

The goal is to be in App mode and have Pandora play music while I have Navigon giving me directions. I can do Pandora outside of App mode with no Navigon, or Navigon in App mode, but no Pandora. 

Please help. I have a trip out of town in the morning and it'd be great to know what I'm doing wrong.

Just to clarify, I left out the X in the model number of my head unit. It is the AVH-X5500BHS

I was able to get Pandora working with this Pioneer head unit.  See my notes below on how.  I can't get any other app to work though.  Can anyone help?

So what is the lightning end of the Apple adapter in the third pic plug into?

First of all you shouldn't be trying to launch Pandora in app mode and AppEx is not needed to get Pandora to work. There is a Pandora app shortcut already on the unit. And as I understand there is a setting to turn on the unit to get your music to play while in app mode.
