Im a IPhone user and just picked up the Pioneer Appradio. I love it. It has some lil quirks but for me its perfect really.

I was looking for this recently, I believe a 7" screen would do really well.

Mine has been great, I bought one for my wife's truck because she liked mine. The first 2 I received didn't work! lol. I just got a refund today actually and ordered another overnight, hopefully that one works. But I have read the mixed reviews on them. I like mine tho.

Hrm. Just looked into that. Looks pretty awesome. What are some of the "lil quirks" it does?

This part looks pretty cool.

DashCommand™ (NEW!) utilizes the built-in GPS and accelerometer sensors of the iPhoneŽ and displays advanced vehicle and driving statistics. When connected to a compatible vehicle’s OBD-II data port (optional OBD-II interface sold separately), advanced data monitoring, logging and analysis are enabled. Users can create and display up to 27 virtual dashboards with many styles including digital gauges, analog gauges, indicator lights, and more, which can all be accessed on the AppRadio screen. Compatible with more than 13 OBD-II compliant interfaces, the app can also be used as a scan tool to read vehicle trouble codes.

Really just dumb crap like the app doesn't load, you have to click it again then it works (occasionally). 95% of the time its great tho, Ill deal with the lil BS here or there. Its a new thing and they've released firmware updates so Im sure it will get better still!

The Dash Command app does look cool, I plan to get a PLX Kiwi and try it out!

Yeah, in reading some reviews, it seems like they are listening to customers and releasing updates that actually fix things, like being able to switch apps from the radio and not the phone.

You can switch apps on the radio currently but only the approved apps (like 5-6 of them)
