Default Difference between app radio mode and mirror link

Just bought the pioneer f60dab and just trying to understand the new technology. My iphone is a 4s. What i want is to control my phone from the head unit and running dashcommand.

Think i got that wrong. Its the difference of being connected through the usb to phone and the mirror link adapter you have to buy seprate with hdmi and usb connected

I have a similar setup in my impreza...pioneer head unit running appradio from my iPod touch in the glove box. I bought the right cable from amazon to go in the head unit and the 30 pin adapter for the iPod - it was about £15 for the cable.

My cable was the CD-IU201N and cost me £15 from amazon.

I can do either mirror link or the full on app radio interface

Just had a look at the manual for your stereo and the cable you put in the post above mine is the right one :-)
