However the US version of the ABH-X8550BT is the AVH-X8500BHS. Different name, same thing but is SirusXM ready (with add on controller) and Pandora enabled from factory. Also they will be stuck on DVD region 2 unless you get something to make it region free.

I have a heap of links to these topics if you want to know some more?
