So, you would use the AppRadio itself to play the FM and iPod. And use the guest device for everything else. The guest device needs to be rooted an support HDMI and Bluetooth. Since it transfers sound over HDMI, the head unit does all the work at converting the quality.
For things like, say... map calculations, does it use the guest device's processor or AppRadio's? In general, is the speed limited by the guest device's CPU?

I'll try to find a local unit and have a play. =)
