btw dannyz3343 just replyed to my question through PM, heres his response for anyone else wondering the same questions: ---- The brake bypass allows you to view anything you have on your 5 on the appradio screen. You can't control it without jailbreaking and installing appradio extensions, but you can watch netflix on the full monitor and hulu, and have google maps or apple maps on your screen. I have it and love it. The 5 only needs 3 things to work. An HDMI Cable, a usb cable to lightning cable, and the HDMI to lightning adaptor. Plug the lightning into the USB on the back, plug the HDMI

Hi, Thanks for all your help guys I've decided to go for the x8500bhs simply because i'm in Australia and with shipping the x8500 is only about $50 extra. I just have a few final questions hopefully you can answer if you have the time. What does the break bypass do & do I need one? Also could you reccomend a good brake bypass for this unit or are they all the same? I have an Iphone 5 so im not really sure which cables i need to connect it fully. Is it any HDMI cable, Iphone 5 usb cable (one that came with the phone) & a lighting digital av adaptor? (this one: http://store.apple.c

Thanks for the help guys! Might got for the appradio if Appmode is flawless. Can the unit mirro a Iphone 5 stock or is that a hack that people are using to do that? I'll mainly be using googlemaps for the gps and would like to play music at the same time, is that possible? also is there an app that can play videos from the iphone?

Thanks for the reply! I guess the only other question I have is do they both offer a similar experience in terms of the operating system? i.e flowing smoothly between menus, app launching times etc? Thanks again!

Just wondering which one you guys thought was overall the better unit? About to buy one of them and the price of either isn't an issue. Do they both run apps the same way? Which has better quality hands free calling etc? Can i play music videos from my iphone on either? Any help would be greatly appreaciated, Thanks!

Ok, Thanks for all of your help anyway!

Thanks alot for replying! My car is a 2003 Nissan 350Z. Mainly just mp4 and mkv are the formats im looking at because those are the formats videos are mostly encoded in these days. & .avi but im pretty sure if it plays mp4 & mkv it will play .avi. If you could test those that would be a big help! Thanks again.

Please guys, any help? Really want to order this unit in the next few days. If anyone can answer even 1 of those questions would be great. Thanks

Hi all, Im from Australia & looking to buy this unit for the simple reason that our version: http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/25/109/281/AVH-X8550BT/page.html Retails at around double the price! So a few questions before I go ahead and order the unit. 1. Will all the features still work if i'm running this unit in a car over here? 2. I have an Iphone 5 and would like to use Google Maps for navigation through app radio mode, Can that be done? & Will it work in Australia? 3. Does this unit play .avi, .mkv, .mp4 etc files (through sd or dvd)? I've noticed alot of DVD receiv
