Now that the iPhone can mirror without wifi to the AppleTV I'm wondering if I should stick that in my car so I can have wireless mirroring. My deck (AVH-X8500BHS) would still detect a HDMI connection The deck will still detect the bluetooth connection from the iPhone I'd still be stuck having the only touch enabled apps being AppRadio apps but at least I would have the ability to use it completely wirelessly. I think I'll try this tomorrow and report back.

I've had good luck with EC Touch and spotify however it doesn't load my starred playlist which is irritating

With Mobile Substrate being updated for iOS7 we are getting a little closer.

Has anyone tried modifying the package so it doesn't look for an iOS version < 6.2?

What Model of iPhone are you using? If you're using an iPhone 5 you'll need the Lighting to Digital AV adapter and then hook an HDMI cable to the adapter as well as a lightning cable from the adapter to USB1 on the unit.

Unless you the SirusXM app I don't think you'll be able to listen to SiriusXM at the same time you're in App Mode. Hopefully this is something Pioneer could fix with a firmware update?

I had a 'regular' bypass that I had used for a Sony XAV-602BT that was just a relay. Initially when I got a AVH-8500BHS I used my old bypass and put a switch on it so I could flip it the second time. Ended up installing a Microbypass last week. It's such a small convenient package I couldn't justify building my own.
