Not a model I am familiar with and Pioneer doesn't seem to have much detail on. Do I take it you are in India as the two models you have listed appear to only be for that market. It looks like there is more chance that it will work, but the descriptions I have found on line don't allow me to confirm what functionality it allows over that HDMI connection.

I take it you are aware of the limitations of Chromecast? It must be on the same wifi network as the phone and must have an internet connection when it starts up in order to function even to cast the screen.
[Android General] karthik247:
Bought the 8690 HU today, and started ARUnchained. It first says listening for device, and then gets to negotiating protocol and disconnects after. Any workaround for this?

I've ordered the Chromecast, which should be with me in a day or two so yet to check if it'll work. I thought I can set up a WiFi hotspot on the phone (rooted OnePlus One), connect the Chromecast and then stream the image. And since the phone has an internet connection, I guess Chromecast will start up?

And just to confirm, the OnePlus One will NOT work with a HDMI cable would it? Read online that it doesn't, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks for the help!
[Android General] 400ixl:
OnePlusOne does not support HDMI, it needs to go through a Miracast or Chromecast type box over WIDI. So not sure how you are expecting it to connect today if you don't have your Chromecast yet. It has nothing to negotiate with to connect. You should be able to set up the bluetooth call capability though. Also, assuming you have routed your phone already.

And yes, using a Tethered hotspot (if your carrier allows it) is one way to do it, as long as you have a good 3G signal wherever you are when you start it up. Any 3G blackspots and it will not connect. Thats the main downside of the Chromecast, which for me stops it being useful as there are too many blackspots in the UK.
[Android General] karthik247:
Right, understood. It's not connecting/negotiating cuz there is no HDMI connection yet. I thought I could try to connect the app anyway, but like you mentioned, it has nothing to work with.

If I get the app started using internet on the phone, does it always require the 2G/3G connection to work? Even to just stream videos or apps from the phone?

Basically, the reason I want to get this setup to work is to mirror the Torque Pro app from my phone to the HU. Since the OnePlus One doesn't support any HDMI cables, Chromecast is the only other option. Or I will have to change my phone, which I'm not really looking forward to.

Any other way you would suggest?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Its not ARU that requires the internet, its the Chromecast that needs it. I believe it is only when connecting, once mirrored it will run fine if the internet connection is dropped. This is every time you start the connection even just to display local content unfortunately.

Does the OnePlus One support Miracast? If so that could be another wireless alternative.
[Android General] karthik247:
As long as it just needs data to start up and not eat into my 3G allowance, that's fine.

So all I need to do to get this setup working is wire the Chromecast to the HU. Set up a hotspot on the phone and connect to Chromecast. This should be enough to get the mirroring working I suppose?

OnePlus One does support Miracast, but by reading posts online, seems Chromecast is better. Besides, it's easier to source in this part of the world.

Thanks!

Need help with resolution, screen is zoomed in using chromecast.

I have a Nex4000, Nexus 6 rooted, Chromecast and App Radio Unchained Reloaded. I can get it to cast and respond to touch inputs fine. My problem is that when I cast from my phone the resolution is wrong. It only shows the top left of my phone. I don't know how to get it to fit the screen correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android General] adamg89:
I have the AVH-x3700DAB which connects using AppRadio 2.7.0 via a USB Mirrorlink cable opposed to HDMI.

Are there any plans to allow full android control in the same way as has been achieved in ARUnchained at present, but on the newer version of AppRadio which supports the USB Mirrorlink cable?
[Android General] Area51©:
Not right now. I don't have an AppRadio like that and also I am very busy working on ARUnchained Reloaded besides my normal job.

How is the video response actually with everything going through USB?
[Android General] adamg89:
Totally understand. I was going to get an app radio 3 but last minute opted for the dab model.

I don't think it's as responsive or clear as the videos I've seen of the app radio models via hdmi but it's not bad, and expected with mirror link. I'll post a video when I get a chance.

I'm assuming aru reloaded also won't work with my setup?

If you do decide to support this connection let me know. Will be happy to test. [emoji3]
[Android General] Area51©:
That would be interesting.

Nope. I decompiled the new Pioneer app and took a quick peek. It has some kind of driver included to support video over mirror link.

note 4 help

I just installed my avh-4000nex and Im using my pioneer mhl adapter that I had for my appradio 2 on a new note 4. Wondering if anyone can help me? In portrait mode everything displays fine on the headunit, but once arunchained connects and it switches to landscape the picture goes greyscale and there are black bars accross the top and bottom of the screen. It automatically goes into the touch calibration and when i tap the dot it brings a pop up saying retry or cancel.

I had arunchained working with my nexus 5 and app radio 2, so I am familiar with how it works, but I am new to this head unit and to the note 4.

EDIT* I got the picture to display properly, but the touch calibration still comes up with a confirmation pop up every time I touch the dot. It says I can hit the menu button to cancel but my phone does not have a menu button.

EDIT #2 It appears that knox was preventing me from setting selinux to permissive, so I installed a custom kernel and removed knox. I know have selinux set to permissive and will try again after work.
[Android General] ilpleasu:
Sir are you using the dev addition note 4 ? I just purchased the same head unit that you have. Was wondering if in fact do I have to have a rooted phone to make this ARUchainged work. O I have a Verizon Note 4. Am I fighting a loosing battle here? Thanks in advance
[Android General] rmadrid20:

Can anyone direct me to the proper place for research for a AR U on t889 and the 4000nex? Running dn3v5 right now with agni, but willing to change what I have to to get full mirroring. Any suggestions on where to look would be great.
[Android General] fixit35:
The way i did it was on my main phone turn my hotspot on. then use another phone are tablet to connect to your main phones hotspot then just setup cromecast with the second phone are tablet. now you can use your main phone with cromecast.
[Android General] mad212:
Thanks! I'll give it another try tonight.
[Android General] nadrojcote:
Even with a kernel that allows selinux to be switch to permissive and knox is disabled, I still cannot make it through the calibration, when I tap the dots the confirmation retry/cancel box pops up. Does anyone have any ideas other than installing a different rom?
[Android General] Area51©:
Your issue is that the old Pioneer app on which ARU is based doesn't handle high resolutions screens well. That is why the calibration fails.

ARUR (Reloaded) doesn't have this issue.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes you do have to be rooted, and no the developer editions are not rooted by default. You still need to gain root on a developer edition phone to use ARU.

Android 4.4.3 connection problems?

Has anyone had connection problems after updating to android 4.4.3?

I was using ARU with my HTC One M7 on viperone 6.0.2 (android 4.3) and it worked great. I upgraded my firmware and upgraded to viperone 7.0.2 which is android 4.4.3 and now when I connect the cable to my stereo it tries to connect, then immediately disconnects. It keeps trying, doing the same each time but never successfully.

Any ideas?

Did you delete the bluetooth pairing on the HU and recreate it?

I assume this was a full wipe and not trying to do some sort of in place update.
[Android General] nadrojcote:
Thanks for your hard work on this, I've been using it for a long time, but I cannot afford $30 for the all right now. I have got it working by changing my resolution to 1080p doing the calibration and then switching resolution back. I will be purchasing in the near future.
[Android General] MrPez:
It was a full wipe but then I restored from titanium so the pairing is ok. Bluetooth is working fine for calls and music streaming, so don't think that is the issue.
[Android General] 400ixl:
If you restored ARU by titanium, then do go through and delete the bluetooth pairing, then go into at ARU app and clear the cache. One that is done reset it all up fresh as you can get very strange things going on.
[Android General] MrPez:
ok, will try tomorrow, thanks very much
[Android General] maggel:
Thank you for your time. I have tried a lot of different options here but I still can't get sound out of the HU while everything else works fine. I did tried test with soundabout and even when I force the audio to the aux HDMI I here nothing from the HU. I did also test the Mhl adapter on several TVs and audio comes out fine. do you think that I should change the stock ROM or kernel? I running out of ideas here.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Trying it on the TV was just fine. Audio plays excellent. How can I test the HU's HDMI audio in condition. Could it be a ROM issue? Thanx

Pioneer AVH-X3600BHS

[Android General] 400ixl:
No, AppMode is for iPhone only
[Android General] Area51©:
If it works fine on a TV it's probably not a ROM issue. It might be something with the head unit / HDMI cable / power to HDMI adapter. One thing to test the head unit and HDMI cable is to connect a laptop that has HDMI out. You should then be able to get video and sound.
[Android General] Xenosis:
1. configure and enable hotspot on primary phone

2. use a 2nd android device to configure the chromecast to work with the hotspot

3. cast screen on primary phone to chromecast using the market chromecast app - it won't work with the native cast option in display settings or the 5.0 pull-down.

You'll first see the main chromecast app page that says to turn on wifi - ignore that and go to the cast screen tab within the app. If it doesn't show up at first, toggle the hotspot. You can then forget the hotspot wifi on the 2nd android device.

I'll try it this weekend. Currently using an android stick but would love to mirror my nexus 6. No HDMI out support :(

[Android General] MrPez:
I deleted the pairing and the cache in the app and still no luck. It gives the message "USB connection temporarily disabled for device protection, do not connect usb device to the unit". It said something else too but I wasn't quick enough to read it...

I've read other people having this message but that has been when the wrong mhl adapter was used and as I've had it working I don't think that is the case here.

Any ideas?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Are you powering it off of USB1 on the HU? If so, do it off of a separate source such as a cigarette lighter converter.

[Android General] MrPez:
Bluetooth

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

It is from the USB port. I haven't done anything with the head unit though, so why would it complain now?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Depends which AppRadio you have. AppRadio 2 can't for example, but the newer ones can over A2DP bluetooth. All in the manual.
[Android General] iamjezz:
I've got appradio 2 looking to chromecast , question is i see a lot of people saying they need to setup a wireless hotspot, so does this mean the connection will drop if my phone loses signal?

Also do you have to use the official Google chromecast or will any after market one work?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Chromecast needs to connect to the internet everytime you switch on your car to use the HU. If it can't get a signal it will not work. Once you have done that initial connection I believe it can then work for the remainder of your journey in screen casting mode.
[Android General] Sal R.:
For AppRadio4 users, make sure you have the Pioneer AppRadioLive (not AppRadio) installed and logged in.

Apps like Waze that have native support to use the HU GPS needs AppRadioLive installed for it to work without GPS Injection.

Hopefully, Area51 will have a fix for the GPS injection issue that was introduced with AppRadio4.
[Android General] Wade-0:
For the people using screen casting with a Chromecast, how is the audio quality? Or more importantly, how does it compare to A2DP bluetooth streaming? I'm not happy with the audio quality I'm getting using a Miracast, even after trying two different adapters it sounds overly compressed and it has regular crackles/hiccups whenever the display is heavily refreshing. It actually makes A2DP bluetooth sound like high bitrate audio.

Since I have a couple Chromecasts already, was wondering if it was worth the headache to try that option out.
[Android General] Hammer3246:
My audio sounds great.
[Android General] Wade-0:
Care to post some details about your setup? What phone, and what audio gear?

Ok so i just installed my pioneer avic-8000nex in my car. I havr a sprint note 3 rooted of corse. And have appradio unchainef 16 (tired 15, and 14). Ive got the bluetooth connection made between my head unit and phone no prob, pandroa work perfect, and calls work perfect.

I have usb1 and hdmi connected. No prob.

Problem im having is:

Appradio unchained tried to connect bluetooth, it says connecting, then i get a quick disconnected followed by ready to connect. It never actually connects bluetooth even though the h3ad unit and the phone are properly connected via bluetooth.

The image is on yhe screen and i can see whay im typing rigjt now on my head unit but the touch and controls are not available because no bluetooth connection from ARU.

Please help. Ive spent months saving for this head unit specifically for ARU.

Thabk you very much!!
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you set the connection to 'Others' and 'HDMI'?
[Android General] Zaileion:
I do now. And appradio now says connected.

But...

Now i get a message that says app radio connected. Please start the activation from the touchscreen of compatable pioneer product. And i get a gray screen with a white circle. Still no touch capabilites.

What the heck is activation and why still no touch controls.

Ok. Now ive got appradio unchained fully working activated and calibrated but still no touch controls from head unit. Any suggestions would be extreemly welcome!!!
[Android General] rigattoni:
Did you try to touch the white circles on the screen? They come up, starting on upper left and turn around...

This is the screen calibration which is needed once for first time the phone is fully connected..
[Android General] Zaileion:
I did and the calibration worked. But after that my phones launcher came up on the head unit. Looks great. But no touch controls... grrrr....

Thank you for the help an I appreciate it very much!!!
[Android General] rigattoni:
hmmm... Once again only for my correct understanding:

Phone connects to the head unit,

Calibration screen pops up and you are able to touch all 4 upcoming points on the screen,

Calibration is verified, calibration screen switches off, your launcher comes up but then no touch possible???

Do you get the red crossed hand on the top right?
[Android General] Area51©:
That is because ARU needs SELinux to be in permissive mode. ARU Reloaded works with SELinux in enforcing mode.

Having a Samsung that is stock rooted means it has SELinux in enforcing mode. To change that you need to install a custom kernel but that's not possible if you have a locked bootloader.
[Android General] iamjezz:
I can cast to my the chromecast no problem using my phone as a hotspot and using the google chrome office app app (screencast) , however now i wasn't to use tasker to automate this but autocast doesn't have a mirror option how are you all mirroring your phone?

Do you know why I might not be able to access the phone settings in step 7? When I click on HU phone icon the settings icon is grayed out with the phone connected by HDMI or Bluetooth, or disconnected all together. I am not able to access the phone settings in the HU.

My set up had been working great but the all of the sudden it stopped. That happened once before and I used the steps above to reestablish the connection but now I am unable to. I can get it to connect the first time and go through the calibration steps but I can not get it to reconnect.

Edit/Update:

I successfully got it to work perfectly 1 time as you can probity tell by my excitement above.

Then I switched to a different source and no matter what I did i couldn't get it to work again. I've even tried reinstalling the entire OS. No luck.

So

I got out my old phone "galaxy s4" updated to latest carbon rom 4.4.4 and version 6 ARU. Same result. Hdmi works, Bluetooth connects but touch controls don't work. I downloaded SELinux changer and switched to permissive mode. Confirmed in phone settings.

I even purchased ARU Reloaded for $30 and tried it on the note 3 with permissive and enforcing mode. Same result as always.

The strangest thing is I was able to get the calibration to work before but now that doesn't work either. I get the connection message and the gray background with the white dots but touch doesn't respond. Maybe a quick 1.2.3. Steps procedure may help. I've read everything I can find and tried everything I can imagine so now I need some help...

My radio system including installation cost over $2K purchased specifically with this feature in mind. Please help!!

Good day. I'm officially baffled with the audio issue.

When S5 is connected to the Panasonic TV video and audio comes out fine.

When S5 is connected to avh x8600bt video and touch control is OK sound is muted with sound about installed and with sound about Uninstalled it comes out of the phone speaker. Never though from the HU.

When laptop connected to avh x8600bt hdmi sound plays from HU fine.

I cannot understand how to resolve this issue and I can't imagine the source of of it. I've been troubleshooting it for so long now and I can't come to a conclusion. Is it the phone, the mhl cable?

S5 is rooted with towel root and stock Rom.

Avh x8600bt is with latest firmware 1.07.

Anyone with similar experience can help me?
