Looking for a compatible Headunit to use with the iPhone 5

I have a 2008 Evo MR without the RF system. I am looking for a touchscreen that I can use to connect my iPhone 5 via BT & front USB port where I can plug in the lightening connetion wire to play/charge. I would like to have the HU read my phone and show the artist/title of the song, with full app compatibility; video, pandora, Sirius radio, etc.

If there are any options out there, please let me know. Thank you!

Do you know the name of the Pioneer HU that is compatible for iPhone docking?

I recently installed the Alpine INE-S920HD, which does support my iPhone 5. BT and USB does indeed function well, and I can browse through my playlists on the unit. It displays artist, title, and even the album art. There is also a BT Pandora feature as well, although I haven't tried it. With the appropriate iPhone cable, I hear that you can even have Netflix playing on the unit (assuming you have the video bypass enabled as well)

That's awesome! Sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the insight.

I'm looking for one that does not have Navigation, bc I can use my iPhone. Any ideas of a HU that's cheaper than yours, but has the rest of the specs? Thanks.

I'm using the pioneer avic x940bt, you need the pioneer usb cable along with lightning connector.
I was using BT pandora before I received my USB wire. You need the USB wire in order to thumbs up / down your pandora stations though...

Pioneer non navigation dvd receivers are nice too. They are the same thing, but a couple hundred dollars cheaper without the navigation. You can just use your phone navigation and have it display on your screen. With the new iphone maps it'll give you turn by turn...

Yea, that's what I'm looking for....to use my iPhone 5 for maps...and use the BT or USB cable connected to the phone to play music from the phone, pandora, iHeartRadio, etc.

Which HU's do you think will meet those specifications?

I highly recommend you check out Pioneer's AppRadio. Only drawback is it doesn't have any capabilities for other physical media (disc, sd card or usb) -
