I will try this today. I have issues with Bluetooth connecting on my unit, so we'll see if it connects better using the official application. I will give you an update in about 9 hours regarding it.
[Android General] kisaev:
What could it be? Root has on a stick. I tried different stock and custom firmware for the stick.

May be the case in the firmware in the DA210, 08.05?

Hey all,

Is there a ARU step by step instruction some place? I have been looking but have not found anything.

Would love to get this working any help would be great!
[Android General] Area51©:
Great. I am wondering if they really changed something else too. Their compatible device list here: AppRadio+3+(SPH-DA110) is lagging massively with the Android versions that are currently on the market.
[Android General] TEK112:
Instructions are in the app.

Start ARU and grant superuser permission

Reboot phone (not necessary, but it is the way I did it)

Start car

Pair BT - must say voice and media or phone audio, but there will be two profiled under the one connection.

Plug in HDMI

That is pretty much it. I have noticed that you should not start the car with HDMI already plugged in. The BT must be paired first.
[Android General] nosit1:
I haven't really noticed anything different. I still have massive issues with getting BT to stick with A2DP profile. Often have to connect and reconnect and disconnect. It seemed to connect relatively quick, but I'm not sure any quicker than before (no parking brake sensor installed, so I couldn't actually test out the App Radio portion).

Hey Basmand,

Any thoughts on the MK809IV? Any reason why you're biased to the MK809III?

[Android General] basmand:
Hi

The reason why I mention MK809III are be course that stick is supported by the firmware that I referrers to in my answer two. If I look on your link to the MK802IV, It is the new and low budget CPU 3188-T (at least my guess be course of CPU speed 1,6 MHZ) my own MK802IV have the original and more expensive CPU RK3188 that are running 1,8 GHz. unfortunately you can only confirm that if you disassembly your stick, so your local dealer don't know what's inside, and in this case they have given you a clue (1,6 MHz)

In practical it is no big deal, in the beginning I was running at quad core 1,4 GHz. works perfect with our 7 inch screen and fast enough to our use with the appradio, only thing to look out for is firmware and as you can see developers are taking care of this issue!!

One last issue we cant solve at the moment on the MK802IV, is oc on GPU!! still runs at 446 MHz. no problem with CPU and RAM best thing are that there are no heating problems and my Antutu score are between 19100 and 19445. If we solved oc on GPU my guess are Antutu around 21000

Just got my second hand Appradio 2

I have the following issues on my HTC One Dual Sim W802 with Maximus Rom:

1. Mobile phone says it is not charging because the device drains more power then it receives. It seems to charge but too slow to keep the phone at full power.

2. The display needs to stay on (any solution for this???) So phone draws more power.

3. Sometimes I get white display with noise (like on old analog TV no reception) and no sound. After a while. I don't know if it is the cables or connectors...it seems to get signal again after a 5-10 seconds.
[Android General] TEK112:
Don't plug the usb into the appradio. Buy a converter that hardwires the USB into the car. The USB is only for power.

As for the screen you can use screen standby on the market. However, it is known to cause issues with appradio unchained.

***This thread will not provide appradio unchained support if you have screen standby installed. The first recommendation will be to uninstall it.
[Android General] nosit1:
Is there a reason for the incompatibilities with Screen Standby?
[Android General] TEK112:
Since the app is written for a multitude of device coupled with the different ways it turns off the screen leaves a lot of questions unanswered as to what the app, the phone and the ROM is having changed and the way it responds to that change.

On some devices it works, on other it will kill the display on the output, disable HDMI, block audio, etc...

I hope this helps.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
1. Install a custom ROM With FAST CHARGE option.

2. Try Screen Standby - the Developer gave up on the project and released the source code. it might still work on ur device.

3. buy an original adapter - not eBay certified.
[Android General] Defender666:
ok for 1. and 2.

BUT for 3, I'm using the original Connection KIT from Pioneer
[Android General] nlitend1:
Help Needed!

I had the appradio 3 working well with my phone (HTC Rezound with pioneer mhl adapter) and now I have moved the radio into a new car and the bluetooth will connect, but the appradio mode will not start. On the main radio screen... i get a bluetooth symbol and a red x near the app icon. When i click on that, then settings, then connection... it states "no compatible device has been paired......"

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the app on the phone. I have tried unpairing the device on the phone and on the radio. I am confused as to why it is connecting via bluetooth but not enabling appradio mode. I also noticed that the app notification on the phone always says "ready to connect".

Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[Android General] low405:
The connection type needs changing to others in the AR3 settings. It will currently be on iPhone. I had the same problem when I changed cars recently.

[Android General] schooled_ca:
Hey everyone,

First off, love the fact we have a community building AppRadio apps :)

I'm an ARLiberator user currently, and very frustrated with the non existent support of the app. It's pretty sad you spend 40 dollars and get no support or bug fixes... but that's another story.

I've been going through this thread and reading along... is it a better performing setup? Does it have the same annoying Bluetooth connectivity issues that ARLiberator has? I love the functionality, but I don't love trying to connect 10 times before it works.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 and an AppRadio 2 DH-100. Anyone else with this combination?

Would love to hear some feedback if it's worth the switch over!

Cheers,

Terence
[Android General] tureH:
Nice work man! :d
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
how about u simply try it out for ur self .... u can try the functionality minus HU GPS for free...

ARL is garbage compered to this. zero issues SG4 + AR3
[Android General] BMXfool93:
Ok, I got my AR3 the other day and I have been stressing out to get this to work. I have a rooted Galaxy S3 T999l and a Pioneer appradio 3 sph-da110. At first I was using the DriveLink full mirroring mod and it worked fine, but I really hated the lag. I uninstalled it and installed ARUnchained. On my phone, it says it's connected and the bluetooth symbol with the 6 dots shows up. But when I plug it in, the radio does not pick it up at all. I tried un plugging then plugging back in, uninstalling then reinstalling and still no results.

This is the reason I bought the radio, and I'm in desperate need for it to work. If there's anyone in the Houston area, I'm willing pay for anyone who can meet up and successfully get it to work. (Yes I'm that desperate)

Also, I'm using and mhl adapter and have nothing hooked up to the hdmi port. Could that be an issue?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
No need to pay anyone.

I'm in Dallas, if I could I would come hook this up for u.

...

Let's start by telling me which phone u have. Is it rooted, have u tried:

1. Installing the original appradio app and check if it successfully connect to the hu (head unit).

2. Take the hdmi/mhl cable and connect to a tv and see if u get images.

I promise u u will get this to work. We just need to root cause ur issue by elimination process
[Android General] schooled_ca:
Installed and working!

It does have some connection consistency issues.. but seems more reliable than ARLiberator. I think I saw somewhere in the thread something about using Tasker to keep autotrying the connection until it works?

I have a Galaxy S4 stock rooted and an AR2 DH-100.

Is the tasker method the only reliable way to keep trying the BT until it works or is it a problem with the way I have it set up?
[Android General] akballow:
Thanks for this app. I hated arliberator and normal app radio soo much. This works great and is the first actual app to control the home button on my z150bh! I think the way to fix the bluetooth connection issue is to just connect the HDMI and run the appmode when the circle is still grey, instead of when its green. While your in that mode, the bluetooth seems to kick in.

Many thanks

PS> also to the guy who said after he clicked the white dots it would not work. Install the non HDMI stick one. I had the same problem

Any clue why screenstandby does not work with this app? It seems to make some apps suck at loading, and for example the google voice search not work. Otherwise it sort of works. Since the screen standby guy made his stuff open source could you consider implementing it in the code so that it disables the screen at hdmi connection? This would save like 50% of the battery, since most dongles do not charge the phone fast enough.
[Android General] BMXfool93:
Galaxy S3 T-Mobile T999l rooted with the stock 4.3 rom (which is awesome.) I tried the original pioneer app and that didn't work either. I never tried an hdmi set up on my phone. My brother has a cable for his S4, but the pins are slighty different between the S3 and S4, but thats a different story. The only app I got working was the drivelink stock and modded.
[Android General] 400ixl:
The pins for the MHL are not different between the S3 and the S4. It was the S2 and the S3 where they changed to a non standard pinout.

If you are using an earlier 5 pin MHL adapter it won't work with the S3.
[Android General] Area51©:
Uhm, you don't have an HDMI cable from the MHL adapter to the HDMI input of the AR3? That would certainly be a big issue.
[Android General] Altaman:
Had my sph-da210 installed yesterday and it is working perfectly with ARU and gps injector. My galaxy s3 also charges nicely connected to the hu usb port.

Thanks for the great apps.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
if the original pioneer app doesnt work then its not this thread app issue.

have u purchased the samsung MHL 5 to 11 adapter ?

u need that for samsung galaxy phones along with the MHL to HDMI cable, which u didnt mention which cable u got? is it the pioneer original?

buy the 5 to 11 PIN adapter (from samsung official site) and then hook it up to ur MHL to HDMI cable and connect it to a TV and check if u can see an image.

from there we will continue on to the HU.

ur issue to me seems like misconfiguration on connection. not faulty devices.
[Android General] sterod:
Hey I've got a Z150BH as well, but with my Nexus 5, I've got black bars on the top of the screen on the head unit. Are you having this problem too or is your head unit using the full screen, every pixel? Also, can you tell me what phone and hdmi adapter you are using?
[Android General] BMXfool93:
Yeah the mhl goes into the usb port. That is what came with my Pioneer radio. My DriveLink full mirror works, but could it mean that the Pioneer/ARU app require the use of the HDMI instead of the usb?

Nexus 5 + x8500BHS

I'm researching if my rooted Nexus 5 (running Madhi Rom and Franco r32 Kernel) will work with AVH-X8500BHS.

My current setup in my 2009 Honda Civic is tethering N5 to my N7-2013 for Google Navigation and and external BT-FM transmitter for phone calls.

While this works ok, it's an awful mess and voice quality is so-so.

I want to simplify my setup, will ARU+Nexus5+AVH-X8500BHS achieve my needs below?

1. Google Navigation with Turn-by-Turn Voice guidance

2. Google Apps- Gmail, Hangout, Play Music, Google Now

3. Netflix, Youtube

4. Chrome Browser

5. Phone calls, obviously

Headunit: X8500BHS seems to have all features I want, especially HD Radio and two USB inputs. But my understanding is that it lacks external GPS. Will internal GPS on my N5 work adequately for Navigation? Should I looks at another unit that has built-in GPS like AR2 or AR3?

Cabling: I will need a SlimPort adapter, someone recommended Analogix SlimPort SP1003. Is that the best one? I will also need HDMI for video and micro-USB cables for charging correct? Does the x8500 output enough to keep the phone charged while GPS/BT/Screen is on? What about heat issues on the phone?

Lots of questions I know. Been reading this forum on ARL forum, but can't find exact answers. Too much info. If anyone can provide some guidance I would appreciate it very much.
[Android General] DizzC:
I'm using a nexus 5 with an appradio 3 and it works just fine with all the apps and tasks you listed. The SP1003 works well enough but it really bothers me that the hdmi and usb plug in on different ends. I'm thinking of looking for an adapter that has a better design or going wireless with the miracast route. As far as charging goes I find that the usb out from the headunit does NOT have enough juice to keep the nexus 5 from losing charge will using gps or streaming music. It doesn't help that I cant find an app to properly put the screen into standby mode.

I have the external gps hooked up but I'm not currently using the gps injector but I find that the onboard gps from the N5 works fine for guidance. I would go for the extra options afforded by the x8500 over the gps of the appradio3. Personally I wish I had done the same. The appradio 3 feels really barebones.
[Android General] jdpdata:
Thanks for reply Dizz. Yeah I'm leaning towards the 8500 for all the extra features. Does your N5 backlight stays on all the time while connected to the AR3. Any heat issues? Sudden shutdown? That's what I'm fearing, as I commute at least 2 hours each day.
[Android General] DizzC:
Yes the display stays on the entire time. I use tasker to dim the display as low as it will go when connected though.

Never had a shutdown and the heat isn't too bad. I used it for 4 hours straight last weekend playing music with GPM and it was only warm to the touch. That being said it was only getting a small charge from the headunit so if using a proper 1A or greater charging source might produce more heat.
[Android General] Compromise:
Hello,

Have you seen this: ht tp://w ww.eonon.com/Car-GPS/2-Din-Car-GPS-DVD/M1.html

And this (larger screen, no DVD playback and knobs): ht tp://w ww.eonon.com/Car-GPS/2-Din-Car-GPS-DVD/M2.html

Eonon provides Miracasting wirelessly, although there is no way to control your phone from the headunit. Would Miracasting be more important to you than AppRadio mode of Pioneer headunits?

PS: Can't post links right now, sorry lol.
[Android General] DizzC:
Looks interesting but the whole reason I went with the appradio was for the control of my phone through the headunit.
[Android General] andybrumz:
Hi...I've been using this app for a while now and it's great!!!! I had been using it in the normal way using hdmi and a mhl adapter to connect my note 3...all good.... today I purchased a netgear pvt3000 and I can connect the phone and the display shows up and it connects thru blue tooth but my screen touches are not recognised. I don't get the red finger with the red x just nothing happens...maybe I'm doing something wrong if any one has any ideas to help .....thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
If you have an AR3, is the bluetooth connection still set to other?
[Android General] andybrumz:
Yes it is!
[Android General] Area51©:
Touches not being registered have 2 causes in general. A) No bluetooth connection. B) No proper root access. Since you have it working with a MH L adapter B) doesn't apply. Can you check your bluetooth connection again? Maybe even remove the BT settings from both devices and then pair again.
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I have an AppRadio 3 and a Nexus 5. I use this SlimPort adaptor: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F8FGSOE/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I was using one like the one you mentioned, with the USB plugging into the opposite end the HDMI plugs into but it was awkward having the USB charging cable looped around like that. I could've lived with it, but I had it unsecured in my glove box and it broke when it got caught between some things when I closed the glove box. So I got the one I linked to and secured it with double-sided tape. The USB plugging into the side is more manageable, too.

Like DizzC said, all of those apps will work fine. That's assuming that the AppRadio mode makes it behave just like the AppRadio. When I installed the radio I also hooked up this USB charger: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5Q1YZ6/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. So far I've just been using a regular USB cable and I'll only use a few % points of charge on my 40 minute commute. That's using BT and GPS. The phone gets warm (~100 degrees F) but doesn't overheat.

I also tried just hooking up a simple relay to bypass the parking brake but couldn't get it to work. It seems like it switched too quickly. I ended up with this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NQL00W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works great.
[Android General] jdpdata:
Thanks for all the replies fellas. I'm almost ready to order the parts. One more questions. How reliable is this setup? I've been reading about ppl with GPS/3G issues. Are those mostly result of cheap MHL adapters and cabling problems? My commute is about an hour each way. I don't want to fuss with connection issues while driving.
[Android General] andybrumz:
Ok...I've tried clearing bt on both devices...still no luck....
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I had a couple connection issues, but I discovered it was because my SlimPort wasn't secured in the glove box and, with opening/closing the box all the time, sometimes the cables or the SlimPort would get pinched and it loosened then finally broke the connections inside. I haven't had an issue since getting a new one and taping it in place. Most of the connection issues in this thread seem to be people who have to use an MHL instead of the SlimPort.

I also just installed a charging USB (this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088HTYUE/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and now the phone shows AC charging instead of USB charging. I put it in this morning, so we'll see tomorrow after my commute how well it charges.

I also use Tasker to get things going when I plug in the phone.

When HDMI is plugged in:

BT off

BT on

Load ARU

Load CarHome Ultra

When HDMI is unplugged:

Taskkill Waze

Taskkill Google Play Music

BT off

Taskkill ARU

I turn on the car, tap OK on the HU and then plug in the phone It takes about 8 seconds until it's ready to go. Killing just those apps when I unplug seems to be enough, nothing seems to be staying open draining the battery. Killing ARU probably isn't even necessary, but I added it when I was trying to troubleshoot what turned out to be an unrelated mediaserver battery drain.
[Android General] jdpdata:
Wow thanks for all the tips guys. Can't wait to get this in my ride. Pioneer has come a long ways since I first got my AVIC Z1
[Android General] smoki3:
Same Problem here.
[Android General] nosit1:
If I recall correctly, generally this was connected with an adapter issue. Most of the non-OEM adapters and other no brand ones had this issue (mine included). Occassionaly I found it was due to electrical interference with other things. Make sure to check your connections too.

In addition, I went back and tried my Droid Bionic and it has been working flawlessly. Unfortunately, there were too many issues with my Galaxy Note 2 that caused almost a 25% success rate on connection due to Bluetooth.
[Android General] BMXfool93:
Ok, so I have the cable running from the usb to the mhl cable. Nothing in the HDMI slot. Would that be the reason the Pioneer/ARUnchained app may not be working? Again, I have been successful with the DriveLink full mirroring app, just not ARunchained.

I tried finding another thread to post this in, but I couldn't find anything appropriate for this problem.
[Android General] nosit1:
Can you elaborate more on your setup?

Device, type of cable (HDMI or MHL and brand?), device software, ARU version.
[Android General] italynstylion:
Tasker Profile?

I'm betting it's been asked before but if so, I can't find it.

I'm using the unchained app successfully and really like it thus far. However, I need to learn how to use Tasker. I know most of you are using it with great success. I need help building my first tasker profile as I've not done one yet. I think if I see how one of the profile's is built I'll be able to build other ones myself.

I'd like help building a profile that states....IF HDMI is connected THEN do not ever dim/turn off the display. (my screen is turning off while driving lol)

I think the other popular profile is the one that states....IF HDMI is connected THEN turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. (I guess this helps with connection?)
[Android General] smoki3:
I use tasker. It turns on Bluetooth, set the display standby time up to 2 hous , turns off the lock screen, starts aru and press at least the home button.

If I disconnect it sets all to stock.

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
In Tasker, on the Profile tab, tap the "+" and then select State>Hardware>HDMI Plugged. Now tap the header "State Edit" and when the window pops up hit "New Task", then name the thing you just made. You can rename it later, too. Hit the "+" again on the bottom of the screen and then add the things you want to do. This is the point where you click through everything to see what's available to you and just add things to see how to add things.

I keep the screen on by using the developer options in the phone. Settings>Developer options>Stay awake.
[Android General] maverickronny:
Hi, I am new to this and am looking to buy something like this, what is the cheapest solution right now for something like this, either a full fledged or a mirroring device
[Android General] Compromise:
Just a quick question for those using AppRadio 3:

When it is connected via HDMI and bluetooth, what happens during a phone call? Does the sound still come out of the car speaker as opposed to only the HDMI's sound output?

EDIT: Also, since I have a LG G2, I would need a SlimPort adapter for this to work; I was wondering how charging is through the SlimPort. Is it slow, does it not keep up with the battery drain, and also does your phones get too hot?

Thanks in advance!
[Android General] nosit1:
It looks like Slimport doesn't require a power connection to send signal over (uses the phone's power). But you have the option of using a charger with it. Unfortunately, you're locked in at whatever the Slimport adapter outputs (possibly 500mAh, maybe 1000mAh). To circumvent this, you may want to try dimming the screen all the way and making sure anything that can consume un-needed battery is turned off. Additionally, look into a custom kernel that provides support for fast charging or changing charging currents.
[Android General] Yarzospatflute:
I don't know if the sound is transmitted over BT or HDMI (BT I'd guess) but phone calls will be over the car speakers.
