Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD + iPhone GPS (pretty awesome - check it out)
MotionX-GPS Drive
The scosche kit really impressed me, it was only 30$ on ebay. It came with a harness too!!
The pioneer 4200DVD does not have blue tooth but the 3200BT does. I was debating on returning this for the 3200BT but i couldn't live with the idea of having my ipod cable running in front of the dash. The 4200 fixes that and has the usb at the back, plus it has a bigger screen. I just finished installing my braking switch for movies.
I found an amazing 1$ app call motionx drive. It can be used to upload the map into my pioneer head unit. It works great and its mind boggling for only 1$
MotionX-GPS Drive
I was so close to buying a 300$ add on navi, luckily motionx has a great app I can use with my iphone. i had only 3 days to use it and so far no complaints yet.
Compatible devices include:
* Pioneer AVH-P3300BT
* Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD
* Pioneer AVH-P6300BT
* Pioneer SmartCradle
* JVC KW-AVX640
* JVC KW-AVX740
* JVC KW-ADV794
* JVC KW-AVX840

I'm not understanding you question, but if you are speaking about the impact it causes having the iPhone constantly charged 24/7 will reduce the life of any battery for sure.
But i usually drain my battery twice a week anyway. She's in good shape and honeslty... who keeps smart phones for more than 1 or 2 years. By the time the battery is dead, it would have gone to the 3rd or 4th owner

Normally you're supposed to drain completely (almost) before recharging... I ran into that problem with one of my current iPods w/ my old Pioneer deck...
It now serves as my docked iPod (car and room) and my other goes mobile...

Yep I know where everything is ...I said that!? :facepalm:
Google maps works awesome on the iPhone, and so does this app. But in the video, the iPhone works as an external controller and there looked like a ton of buttons in that mode. Point being, other than being parked or stopped before you search the locale, looks like a huge distraction.
Regardless, if you're already rocking the Pioneer, this could be a cool extension.

its pretty simple and its no more distracting than using an ordinary head unit.
