It looks like the new AVIC-W8600NEX is out, but I cannot find any updated information on it. Pioneer's website doesn't even have anything posted on the product. Does anyone have any info on this model? I'm curious what is the difference between the 8500 and the 8600.

Contacted Pioneer about the product and this is what they said:

As of right now that product is not selling on our website anymore and we discontinued all information for now.

When I wrote asking for a spec sheet they said this:

Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.

 Unfortunately we would not be able to give any more information on this unit.
