iPhone 5 Thread

[Kangaroux]

Never liked apple, especially after my ipod touch just randomly stopped working one day from the battery shorting out and nearly catching on fire. Luckily my headunit supports an SD card so I just put all my music on that.

My headunit does have a USB port, however my iphone serves as my hub of digital everything:
music
movies
pictures

GPS
address/phonebook/bluetooth calling
Pandora

Maybe I'm missing somethin here. On my iPhone I plug the USB cable from my phone to my headunit and all my music, pandora and even phone calls come thru. The new lighting plug will still be USB on the other end....

Cd > USB > aux
No discussion. Always will be true

Also I'm pretty sure apple uses a weaker sound processor in the iPhone vs the iPod touch. Dot quote me on that but I remember hearing it

Yea it will, but that means you will have to buy that adapter. Also, it means that if you share a car with someone that plugs in their iPhone/iTouch in the car sometimes, they will not be able to because you will have a lighting port, not an ipod port. Furthermore, another $70 to buy from Pioneer.

What do you need an adapter for? Use your charging plug. plug the USB into the radio, plug the other end in your phone.

doesn't support Video-out.

Also, apparently the new Iphone 5 does not let you control, surf, or browse playlists and active iPhone controls via the lighting port. WTF is that about?

At least from what I've read, it won't be compatible with the adapter. I'm assuming that Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, etc will pay apple BIG $$$ to license lightning to usb adapters that will allow this function. If this function is removed completely, I'm sticking with my iPhone 4. Plus, I feel like its so dangerous to use the iphone to control while driving, using a headunit (esp touchscreen) is a lot safer.
