Iphone 5 experiences and may not need AHA
I took delivery of my Cayenne Diesel a couple of weeks ago. Just to say that my Iphone 5 running IOS 7 is nicely integrated with the latest PCM 3.1.
I can have all the playlists displayed on the PCM, including my iTunes radio lists. Had I known how well integrated it is now, I may not have ordered the online services (aka AHA app). So, far AHA has been a disappointment. It seems to be unable to keep data after awhile. On the other hand, the iPhone own's music app works perfectly even when using data through Itunes radio.

That's good news, I never ordered online services in the first place. My problem however, is that I'm unable to successfully download IOS7 (for iPhone5 and iPad4). Initially tried via cellular on iPhone and via internet on iPad. Error messages just said "failed-try again". Apple support said sync devices with iTunes first, still no luck. Error now says "download corrupt". Apple says it's Verizon's fault, Verizon says it's Apples fault. Any suggestions?

yup, backup, do a hard reset and try.
if that won't work, donwload the latest sw here: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/downlo...ipsw-files.php
connect your device via USB and then by pressing the shift (windows) or command key (mac) push the update button in itunes and choose the file you've just downloaded. voila. restore data and you're done.
in that won't work, you might need to restore your phone/ipad to IOS 6.1.4 and then update manually. youtube search about updates to IOS7, there's a ton of tutorials.

I guess the Jukebox is still nice to have if you want to store a lot more songs than what your Iphone can hold. [Edit: If you have your iTunes songs in iCloud, rather than stored in your phone, then in reality, you can have the ability to play all your Itunes songs through the PCM. Of course, by doing this, you'll be consuming data from your cell phone provider.]
For me, what I found nice is that my personally created Itunes radio playlists are also displayed on the PCM. If so, why have AHA, right? All that AHA provides as extra are the location-based searches for eats, coffee or gas stations (which, I think, are based on Yelp). So far AHA seems to be on beta state. Half the time the PCM does not recognizes it and I need to re-start the app. A lot of times, it loses the data midway and I am greeted with total silence.

Yup. Using the lightning cable that came with the phone and connected to the USB slot of the CPM. No need to use a lightning to 30-pin adapter, as previously reported.

You can only display playlists on the PCM main screen but not on the round screen in front of the driver. When you use Jukebox or an USB stick, you can display song folders on both screens.

Oh, It does too. Ok, let me clarify. Itunes Radio consumes data, just like the AHA app. Itunes songs do not, depending if it is in the phone or in the cloud. If you subscribe to Itunes Match, then your Iphone can have the ability to play all your iTunes songs that you have stored somewhere else because they are in ICloud. Obviously, if you have Itunes playlists that contain songs you did not downloaded to the phone, and are in Icloud, then of course those songs will consume data.
What I am trying to say about Itunes radio is that it functions in a similar way to the AHA app. At least, as far as Internet radio does. So, you may not really need the AHA app if all you want is Internet radio (unless you really want the stations that AHA provides).
Hope I am correct.
