What is the In Vehicle mode of the X5 3rd gen exactly, and how does this "special" accessory make it work?
 
Will the X5 plug directly into my car's USB port?
 
What functionality can I expect in this mode?
 
What won't I have when using In Vehicle?
 
Thanks

My current portable is an X3 1st gen, Leckerton UHA-6S.MII and Weston 4R.  Thinking up upgrading this year to the X5 3rd gen and some Campfire Andromeda IEMs.

  In the same boat, waiting for some reviews also, thinking about the Pioneer XDP 100s myself as they will be about the same price.

 
I have been using it for a few days now and i must say i'm really happy with it. I mean yes there are issues which are being discussed but does that make the device unusable. The answer is a vehement no! The device is very very usable and i must add enjoyable. I don't know its me or the clicking noise between tracks has almost disappeared.
 
I am really having a good time with the X5III, though i must admit that i'm using it more on Pure Music Mode rather than Android Mode. I did listen to spotify and music on the Hiby Music Player and the results were more than satisfactory.
 
I strongly suggest you take a look at this before going for the Pioneer XDP 100. Correct me if i'm wrong but this has dual DAC out on the SE headphone output. does the Pioneer do that too, AFAIK it does not. At the end it boils down to the SQ and i reckon the X5III won't disappoint you.
 
Update: Charged it from 20% to 100% in 2 hours 45 minutes approximately.

How long of battery life are you getting using Pure Music Mode?  What amount of stand by time are you getting between charges? 
 
Thank you
