    so i recently got an iphone 5 and i am looking into getting a new stereo receiver that works with iphone. preferably one that will allow me to control it using the car receiver instead of the phone itself and i was wondering if anybody has used an iphone 5 with their stereos and if it works just as fine as say an iphone 4s would? any input will be greatly appreciated
    thanks-

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Lightning charger is to new so I doubt any aftermarket HU works with it but give it some time and they will come out with some or update the firmware.

    It's still a USB on the other end, I wouldn't think it would connect any different?!?!

    This is the headunit I got and was released in August 2012:

    Alpine conducted a quick compatibility test with the iPhone 5 and found that certain AV, AVN and Digital Media Receiver products are not able to playback iPhone music over the USB connection. Everyone can, however, continue to listen to music from Pandora or access their iPhone’s music library wirelessly via Bluetooth® Wireless Technology.

    In addition, it has been reported that Bluetooth streaming meta data and control is currently not functional with iOS 6. At the time it seems all 1-Din (including CDE-235BT) head units are effected by this, not 2-Din AV/AVN/Digital Receivers.

    Alpine's engineering teams have begun detailed evaluation and specification confirmation and we will provide updated information as soon as investigations are finalized. Compatibility with other Alpine products is being verified and will also be confirmed later.

    Currently, Alpine products verified not compatible with the iPhone 5 (no iPod/iPhone playback via USB) are:

    INE-S920HD, INE-Z928HD. IVE-W535HD, iDA-X305S/X305/X100/X001

    We will continue to update you regarding compatibility.

    Yep, my iPhone 5 works fine with my Kenwood Excelon KDC-X796 deck...albeit through bluetooth. I haven't tried the lightning cable yet though. But it should work fine since one end is a standard USB.
