My only fear is losing that sleek look that the stock systems have. When converting to aftermaket most filler components end up making the unit look cheap. Unless you have somrthing in mind that would fill in nicely and not "compromise" the look. It is just something I am tossing around and like having other opinions.

oh yeah, im also waiting to hear how deep the new pioneer coming out is. If it is shallower than the stock unit, then thats what i would look at.
take a pic of your dash for me. i will give you some ideas. (yes i can google the dash, however it is nice to have the actual car pic in front of me)

Hey Jason, I've got an '04 x-type and I was wondering the same thing. Ultimately I want to keep the sleek / quality look of the factory setup, as well as the steering wheel integration. Here's a pic of my dash for reference, and I'm hoping it is similar to what southernjag's got.

Payne-it's okay.we have the same question so I have no problem with you asking too. Also thanks for posting the pic. Mine looks the same as yours.
phd12volt-I like Georges ride. It does look slick and it doesn't look cheep. I just know that most of the time the fillment pieces look cheap and in turn make the whole install look cheap. I like it though and think it looks good. I am really curious about the pioneer headunit so update as soon as you know something. Thanks for the info.

Pioneer Ships ’App Radio’ in June at Under $500

Pioneer will ship at the end of June the aftermarket’s closest car radio yet to a smartphone in your dash. It’s new “App Radio” for under $500 is the first aftermarket car radio with a phone-like capacitive screen with multi-touch and swipe and it will work with a group of apps whose icons can appear on the screen.
The radio is actually like an iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4 speaker dock for the dash. The opening screen shows a big digital time readout and some icons.
Apps include MotionX-GPS Drive for turn-by-turn directions, Google Maps, Google Local search, INRIX real time and predictive traffic, Pandora,and Rdio (social networking radio service).
There’s no CD player, but you get built in Bluetooth calling, video, a 6.1 inch screen, and capability for a rear view camera and steering wheel controls. There’s also AM/FM radio.
Pioneer is aiming the App Radio at a broad audience and hopes to capture many consumers who would not ordinarily think of removing their factory radio. It will accompany the launch in June with its most aggressive ad campaign in years and its targets will include general iPhone, Apple magazines and blogs.
At a press conference in San Francisco Wednesday, the company hinted that other App Radios in the future will work with Android and other phones.
When you connect your iPhone to the App Radio it prompts you to download a Pioneer app and then it shows you the apps that work with radio. Once you download them, the icons appear on the radio.
The apps will work with eachother so you can control Pandora on the radio while navigating. Apps other than those mentioned above will work with the radio but may be shut down when the car leaves Park mode so don’t expect to watch YouTube while you are driving.
But Pioneer will be adding more driver-friendly apps, probably before the product launches.
The radio is firmware updatable.

Southernjag - I made some calls and it appears as though for me it would require, at a minimum, the replacement nav unit in the dash as well as the dvd and drive for the trunk and the GPS antenna. It's possible that there is another module required, but was told it might work without it. This is based off mine being a 2004 and apparently being pre-wired (cabled?) for everything. It looks like this was done later in 2004, so you'd likely need cable as well.
Now, I was not given any part numbers, but was told if it is really something I want to do, they'll pull the info to write up the order. Their best guess was it'd be close to $2000 with installation, and based off the price of used parts, I can see this being the case. I don't think I'm going to be pursuing this option.

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., the leader in aftermarket car electronics technology, today unveiled its latest innovation, the game-changing AppRadio™. Drawing upon Pioneer’s technology integration expertise and following its “Rethinking Connectivity” strategy, AppRadio is the first in-vehicle product designed to utilize the processing power, storage capacity, network connectivity and apps of the iPhone and iPod touch (4th generation) as the primary source for its information and entertainment capabilities. Pioneer’s AppRadio also features the industry’s first capacitive touchscreen that enables control of most functions using similar touch and motion gestures as many of today’s most popular smartphones, but in a larger 6.1-inch screen designed specifically for safer in-vehicle operation. For safety and convenience, AppRadio features built-in Bluetooth1 for hands-free calling and an input for an optional vehicle mounted rear facing back-up camera.
“Pioneer is rethinking connectivity by tapping into the power of the smartphone, while simultaneously providing a solution that safely merges the consumer’s connected lifestyle into the vehicle,” said Ted Cardenas, director of marketing for the car electronics division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “AppRadio fully embraces the iPhone, which has become the window to our mobile connectivity and provides a comprehensive and safer way to use apps in the car.”
The power of AppRadio comes from the ability to simply and easily update its software, similar to many of today’s most powerful mobile devices. The front of the unit features a clean and simple aesthetic with only three physical buttons; a home button, a volume up button and a volume down button combined with a high resolution WVGA (800 x 480) 6.1-inch capacitive touchscreen display. This capacitive touch panel requires less pressure, responds faster and can recognize multiple touch points simultaneously, advantages when compared to traditional resistive touchscreen displays. Touchscreen control is used for all functions including the app interface, iPod control/playback, AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth hands-free calling features.
Pioneer Centric Apps
When connected to an iPhone and iPod touch (4th generation) with the Pioneer AppRadio application and compatible third-party apps, the full potential of the AppRadio is unleashed, bringing an ever-expanding world of convenience and connectivity directly into the dash. The Pioneer AppRadio application, available free in the App Store, enables access to the data and connectivity of the iPhone 4, providing users the ability to access Google Maps and stay current with recommended compatible third-party apps.
Google Maps appears on the AppRadio screen with the same mapping information and features that consumers are familiar with. The system enables users to search2, route to locations, view route directions and create bookmarks with the ability to drop pins directly on the map.
Pioneer has initially partnered with several app providers to integrate AppRadio compatibility into a few of today’s most popular apps, formatted specifically for safe use and access in the vehicle. AppRadio compatible apps are now available including INRIX, MotionX-GPS Drive, Rdio, and Pandora Radio.
With the vehicle parked and the parking brake fully engaged, additional apps featuring second screen video output can be viewed on the AppRadio screen.
Access to the Future
As the library of AppRadio compatible applications grows, users will be automatically notified via Pioneer’s AppRadio iPhone application, with a link to the respective app(s) page within the App Store. Additionally, the AppRadio software itself is updatable offering the potential for future hardware, software and app compatibility changes.
Music and Communication
AppRadio continues Pioneer’s strong audio heritage, with a built-in AM/FM tuner with RDS text information display (when available) and full iPod audio control/playback. Pioneer employs Apple’s iPod Out feature enabling the AppRadio system to display the familiar iPod navigation menu, displaying album art, song title and artist. This promotes a safer driving experience, as all of AppRadio’s controls have been designed specifically for in-vehicle operation. This newly developed interface technology supports iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4th generation) running iOS 4.2 or later. In addition, AppRadio enables direct access to the latest iPod functions, such as custom playlists and Genius Mixes, which let users automatically create playlists of music with similarities from their music library.
Safe, in-vehicle phone functionality is simple with built-in Bluetooth, enabling hands-free cellular phone operation using the car’s speakers and the included external microphone to turn the car into a rolling speakerphone. Access to the user’s phonebook is provided via Bluetooth phonebook transfer, with browsing and searching available by touchscreen controls.
The AppRadio includes a 30-pin connector, external GPS antenna, external microphone for hands-free calling and input/output connections to support the addition of an optional rear view camera, wired remote steering wheel control adapter and an external amplifier via one set of preamp outputs.
Pioneer’s AppRadio will be available in late June with a suggested retail price below $500.
The Pioneer AppRadio App is available now from the App Store for the iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4th generation) or at Apple - iTunes - Everything you need to be entertained.
