Yep, I have one, got it when it came out in April

iPhone 5 capability is being worked on, here is a list of features currently working with various models...

I use mine with a 4th gen iPod, works perfectly after the few updates they have been chucking out.
Comes with a GPS module so you can use the sat nav apps, I use 'mygps UK&ROI' it's as good as any tom tom, but comes with google search etc
Built in Bluetooth for phone calls, hands free mic included.

Obviously no CD player! But if like me you are all digital on the iPod anyway it's all good.

You can now have custom backgrounds too:

I love it! But it limits you to supported apps only.

Also it keeps telling you to apply the handbrake when trying to watch video on the move, you can bypass that though with a little switch.

Porthos is there any limitations having a iPod connected rather than an iPhone as iPod don't have 3G? So in terms of Internet use?

Basically that is my limitation, yes However, things like the Sat Nav I have, doesn't need to be online to work, things like Waze do however.

iPhone obviously doesn't have that problem. Hoping to get an iPhone 5 when I get an Upgrade in a couple of weeks.... will no doubt report back what's what.

Ultimately, building the 'source' as it were into the dash is the ultimate way to get everything you want in there... like Croccy is doing here:

With the iPad Mini coming out soon as well.... things could get very interesting!
For now though I'm quite content with my AppRadio as I'm not as confident as doing custom installs as some.
