I've used the Sirius app on both iOS and now on my Nexus 5, sounds great & works great. Plus you have the ability to access on demand episodes of shows (i.e. Howard Stern interviews or other special events).

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

I tried to use this, but I don't think it's working on Nexus 5 on 4.4

Every time I go through the setup and select the "Check for root and BusyBox" option it just hangs. (FYI - I did use a BusyBox installer before hitting that button.)

Other than that ARU seems to be working great.

[EDIT] -- I just uninstalled the BusyBox Installer by JRummy (which was last updated in July), and then installed BusyBox by Stericson (updated this month)....... now the Screen Standby app works :)
[Android General] shaxs:
Does the app work in landscape mode? I need to call and see what they will offer for just an internet subscription. If they match the price of my actual radio (like $4 a month) I will do it.

So does anyone experience glare issues with the glossy screens of the App Radios? Or has anyone tried a custom cut screen protector to help reduce glare on these? I like the 8500BHS since the screen is matte.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I use a Nexus 4 rather than 5, but won't make a difference. ScreenStandby works fine on 4.4.2

Use the HDMI detection option in the app to activate it so it doesn't switch the screen off when you just have it unplugged but in the car.

One word of warning, if you use Xposed framework (which I doubt you will) then the Gravitybox module does something that screws over ScreenStandby so you can't use both. at least it has for the few N4's and N5's I have set up for people.
[Android General] lpasq:
I use this on my retired AR2 and now on my AR3. Perfect fit. No cutting. Eliminates fingerprint smudging and reduces glare. Has a matte finish and does not interfere with touch sensitivity on HU's capacitive screen.

[Android General] jasoncwms:
Yes, it works in landscape mode.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

I managed to get it to turn off and on using ScreenStandby, but I did run into another issue. Whenever I turn it off (I made homescreen shortcuts to turn it off and on), then go to bring up another app (i.e. the Sirius app or Google Maps), the phone screen turns back on again.

Am I missing something that I should be doing?
[Android General] cwalkin:
Did they send me the wrong mhl adapter? How does it connect to Note 3 as it doesn't have micro usb port??
[Android General] evillela2001:
The port on the right of your picture is the micro USB. It should connect fine. Hopefully you bought that from the Samsung website because amazon and others sell a lot of counterfeits that will give you a lot of issues
[Android General] shaxs:
How does that stick to the screen? Is it like a standard smartphone screen protector?

And now that you have had an AR2 and AR3, is the AR3 much better?
[Android General] cwalkin:
Yes, direct from Samsung...so the micro-usb will still connect to the usb 3.0 port on Note 3. phew
[Android General] 400ixl:
Why have you made homescreen shortvuts? Just set it up to blank on hdmi connect and come back on when it disconnects.
[Android General] evillela2001:
So the micro USB end on the adapter goes to the phone then if you want to charge then use another micro usb cable to the adapter then just connect your hdmi. Should work fine I have a friend with an S4 should be the same setup
[Android General] lpasq:
...it has a very light and tacky film on one side and can be set and removed and reset again. once placed, use a plastic straight like a credit card to push out any air bubbles that might get caught between screen and protector. ...i have no idea what "standard smartphone screen protector" is like since i never used on at anytime on any device. this protector is not like the 3M film i use on my motorbikes which are very playable. this protector is a bit ridged and little thicker. hope this info is useful.

...my opinion about ar2/ar3... the ar2 is just fine if not needing/wanting bt a2dp. the ar3 has mic firmware allowing for voice command but it is useless for me since i have a sports car with a noisy interior. basically, i can be heard when on calls but voice commands are a joke with all the background ambient noise in by cabin. also, voice command is limited in functionality for a myriad of reasons/variables.
[Android General] 400ixl:
I use a screen protector on mine which is anti glare. Its good as a screen protector and marginally reduces glare, mind you this is probably due to mine being a convertible.

The best success I had was to modify the cage so that it now faces marginally downwards, and that plus the anti glare screen protector do a good job.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Yes, the port on the phone is a micro USB connection, not a USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 is a protocol and a bit of internal firmware rather than a connection type.
[Android General] lpasq:
I should add that the film I referenced above is used specifically for anti-glare and to keep the down the smudging from fingers. It works well for both in my coupe.
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Yes it works. I have a g2

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

I have a g2. Works fine.
[Android General] cheesebox:
Thanks for the confirmation. Is this with Appradio 2?
[Android General] Area51©:
It works with AppRadio 2 and 3.
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Ok, I took your advice and set it up using the hdmi connect option. Although it did turn off as soon as I connected it with the cable, as soon as I tried to open another app or perform any other function, the phone's screen lights back up.

Not sure what I'm possibly doing wrong. I should mention that every time I try to do that setup process where it checks for root + busybox, it always hangs at that "check". Dunno if it has something to do with the type of root I did (I did the CF-Auto-Root mentioned in the Nexus 5 beginners guide on here), or the BusyBox installer I used.
[Android General] TurboX2:
With all these complicated features being pushed to the android phone... couldn't someone make a windows app for a laptop that enables touch control just as nicely?? I feel like it should be even simpler to do this for windows.
[Android General] AllenConder:
That's funny I was thinking the same. Unfortunately I think that Ar Unchained only happened due to the number of people with App radio who has Android is far more than people with a Windows laptop with HDMI.

My fiancé received a Transformer Book and I love it. Maybe you should post a bounty for Windows and test the demand. Maybe it could entice a dev as good as Area51 :)
[Android General] shaxs:
Thanks! I like AD2P when I dont want to do the whole phone experience. I am still trying to decide between this and the 8500BHS.
[Android General] vjnhv6:
Is this still the case? I have a Droid Razr HD with system version: 9.30.1 and supposedly there is no way to root it?.. Any advice?..
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, this is still the case. You can use the OEM app unrooted, but it has limited functionality.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

If its not getting SU permissions then there is a good chance it isn't going to be able to work properly. Personally I won't use CF-Auto-Root as I have found it to be unreliable, I tend to use WUgfresh Nexus Rootkit myself.

Have you got SuperSU installed and is it the latest version? What does that say for SU permissions for ScreenStandBy?
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Well every time it starts screen standby SuperSU says that it has been granted access, and when I go into SuperSU itself it says the same.

I also noticed that when the phone does go dark, it then awakes again as soon as the notification comes up saying that it was granted access.

I guess I will have to restore this nexus 5 to stock then root it again using the one you mentioned. I only used the CF Root because it was mentioned in that beginners guide on here, and since I'm new to this rooting thing I didn't want to mess up anything lol.
[Android General] bchiu:
I see! So whats the advantage of using the HU GPS vs the phone GPS? :rolleyes:
[Android General] TEK112:
I see a couple of pros:

1.) The phone doesn't have to be on the dash or somewhere with a clear line of site to the satellite.

2.) The internal GPS uses a lot of power and can drain the device faster than you can charge it (depending on the device)

3.) The AR GPS is usually more powerful and capable of a better locki in limited areas.

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Root is root is root.

You either have it or your don't. It sounds like you got it. The notifications can be turned off in SuperSu if you don't want to see them.
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Lol... well I'm over here getting ready to root it again using the WugFresh one you mentioned earlier. So we shall see what happens later after I get it all setup again.
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Just to update, I rooted it with WugFresh (which is great btw, and seems better than the CF one I did before), but still have the same result with Screen Standby. Tried everything, even tried adding tasks to Tasker that would make sure to make Screen Standby turn on/off with hdmi connection (yes I know it has that option within the app as well), but the app still doesn't work 100%.

Basically it does shut off, but less than 5 seconds later the screen comes right back on again. Guess we will have to just wait until the dev of that app releases a new version.
[Android General] 400ixl:
It works for others so its not necessarily an issue the dev can sort.

What else have you got running as I have had issues with it laying with other apps. For example Lightflow and Gravitybox both stop it working properly and there would be little the dev can do about it as those apps do what they want when they want, over riding what ScreenStandby sets.
[Android General] shaxs:
I tried using a LG G2 with 8500BHS and a Netgear mirracast device. Worked, but was slow and buggy. Some random warning popped up saying I would have degraded performance if using mirracast and bluetooth which you have to do to make the appradio work. So it looks hard line for me.
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Does that support slim port? That is what I'm using with the g2. The one linked earlier from Amazon.
[Android General] shaxs:
Does what? The head unit? 8500bhs?
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Yes the hu. I have a g2 w/ appradio 3. That works fine with a slim port adapter.
[Android General] shaxs:
Not sure yet. Amazon failed to deliver the slimport on one day shipping. In fact, they still havent shipped it but amazon refunded my whole purchase, is still sending the unit, and gave me a $5 promotional credit.

I went ahead and bought the appradio as well. The 8500BHS is in my wife's car.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

I have found the solution to this problem that stick boot every time I start/stop my car, when I did my setup in the car, I connected stick to constant power from my cars original "radio" power cable net, but on many cars when you start power are cut just for a split second to give a much power to the engine as possible, that will not delete settings in radio, but stick reboots. Now I have a cable direct from battery, and stick are always ready to connect to APPRADIO (ARU) never boot, it works like a dream (10 seconds at the maximum and I am connected)

Basmand:D
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Nothing else really. When I posted yesterday that it didn't work, that was right after I rooted it again. So it didn't have anything on it really except for ARU, SuperSU, Busybox and Screen Standby (outside of the default Google apps of course). But it still only works for like 5 secs then turns back on.

I'm not doubting that it works for others, but I still think this may be either an issue with 4.4 or Nexus 5, or a combination of the two. Looking at recent posts on the Screen Standby thread, others are having issues as well.

Either way, I won't clog up this ARU thread with this stuff. ARU works great for me, it's just Screen Standby that is having the issue. So lets continue the convo on that thread.
[Android General] Altaman:
Quick question, I am thinking of getting x5600bhs and was wondering if all I need gs3 is the mhl cable and micro usb?
[Android General] 400ixl:
[MENTION=5627140]jasoncwms[/MENTION] Just a quick thought, what launcher are you using? There are some major changes in the OEM launcher on the N5 with 4.4.x. Maybe try Apex Launcher if you haven't.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

The 5600 does not have appradio mode for Android, only the ability to play music from it. You can't do the advanced mirroring etc of the screen, that is only on the iPhone.
[Android General] Altaman:
Ok, good thing you said something before I bought it. So what cables are needed for an SPH-DA210 and my GS3? I already have the actual samsung MHL cable.

Thanks
[Android General] extream87:
Nice work :D
[Android General] robshabazz:
I have the x5600bhs & HTC one, mirroring is supported for rooted android devices with this app
[Android General] andybrumz:
This app rocks mate! Finally my appradio 3 works like it should have out of the box......
[Android General] Altaman:
Ok so it seems the AVH-X5600BHS compatible. If you were choosing would you buy it or the SPH-DA210?

Also does a person need any other cables than the Samsung mhl cable, hdmi and micro usb?
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Good idea, but it's a no go. Tried it with Nova and Apex.
[Android General] Faran52:
cool will definitely give it a try
[Android General] 400ixl:
Interesting, the specs from Pioneer says it shouldn't. Their site has:

Bluetooth®	Built-In (HFP/A2DP/AVRCP/SSP)

Direct Control for iPod®/iPhone® (Audio and Video)	Cable Required (see connection chart)

Link Search for iPod®	Yes

iTunes® Tagging	Yes

AppRadio Mode	iPhone® (CD-IV203 cable required)

App Mode	iPhone®

Voice Recognition Support	Siri® Eyes Free (iPhone 5, iPhone 4S)

Android™ Media Access (requires Android OS 4.0 or later)	Yes

Pandora® Radio App Compatible	iPhone®, Android™

Pandora® Station Creation	Yes

USB Port	Rear

AUX Input	Rear

Is the mirroring via wireless mirrorlink or is there actually an HDMI port on it?
[Android General] robshabazz:
Sorry wrong model number, mines is x8500bhs
[Android General] 400ixl:
Ah, OK, that makes sense, the 8500 does have Android Advanced Appmode.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

The 5600 isn't compatible, see above. You need the 8500 or one of the AppRadio 3's.

Cable wise they all require the same to connect up the phone. Other than that it is the adapter leads for your car.
[Android General] 400ixl:
And you have Busybox installed and up to date?
[Android General] jasoncwms:
Yup, v 1.21.1

[Android General] anin23:
Hi there first of all thank you for making such a great app.This is my first post:good: I just placed a order for the AR3 and the micro bypass. I have a nexus 5 which I still need to root. Sorry to bring up the same questions, I'm just confused on do i need a mhl adapter or can i use the usb on the back of the HU? I think from what i understand the samsung mhl adapter is the one to get, directly from samsung, however I'm not quite sure if the mhl is required or is it so you can also charge? Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
You need a SlimPort adapter for the Nexus 5. Recommended is the Analogix SP1003. Previous model SP1002 should also work but apparently the SP1003 can deliver higher current to the phone. Cheaper China SlimPort adapters will cause snow on the screen so best to avoid those.

The Analogix adapters as mentioned have a micro usb input for power which is passed on to the phone. You can connect this to the HU usb using the appropriate cable. Some however prefer to connect it to a hardwired 12V to 5V 1.2A adapter as this can supply a higher current than the HU.

Also to avoid snow some recommend a heavy duty HDMI cable with ferrite cores. Someone reported this has solved a snow issue for him. Search the thread for links.

Problem installing

Here is the problem I am having.

I have app radio running fine on the radio and phone.

I tried to install arunchained APK file. I emailed it to myself, then installed on my Galaxy S4. But I dont see any icon for it or anything on the home screen. I dont see anything inside app radio.

I dont see any AR Unchained program when I go to uninstall programs. And when I re-email myself the arunchained.apk file and try to reinstall it, it says it is already installed and nothing will be changed.

I think the first install got corrupted somehow. Any way to remove it from my phone if its not shown as an application under Application manager so I can reinstall it?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Try Titanium Backup
[Android General] Kaczman:
I tried that. I dont see any processes or names relating to AP Unchained?
[Android General] lpasq:
....also, look for ARU in /system/app and /data/app, find, manually delete with a file manager that uses root...
[Android General] Kaczman:
Thanks, I tried that next. I see nothing for AR Unchained and nothing for com.arunchained in /system/app or /data/app. Is IS called arunchained, right?
[Android General] 400ixl:
In Titanium Backup it will be listed as Appradio Unchained

In a file manager it is \data\app\jp.pioneer.mbg.appradio.AppRadioLauncher-1.apk as it is a hacked version of the original APK and why they cannot co-exist.
[Android General] Kaczman:
I just tried installing a previous version, and im still getting the same thing.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Thanks for that info. I deleted appradio, I deleted that jp.pioneer.apk and then reset. Now when I go to install arunchained0.15.apk, it worked. So thank you for yoru help 400ixl. I really appreciate it.

Youtube blackout

I have no major problems with ARU for AR3, but for one. I notice, when in Youtube, I cannot exit. And if I hit the home button on AR3 to exit, the mirroring stops working (black screen). Anybody with any hints?

Thx!
[Android General] AMG1978:
I too just got the Nexus 5 on Saturday and switched from my iPhone 5 to Android. I got a SlimPort adapter from amazon that worked great. I cant post external links yet, but its from Cable Matters and is $17.99

One issue I have with ARU is that the screen turns off when in ARU automatically after a minute or two (the default). I expected it to be bypassed in a similar fashion to when I run my DISH! application where when I watch the TV on my AR3 it wont turn the screen off, but just sitting in the main menu using AR3 and ARU, it blanks so quickly. I have to hit the button on the side of the phone to bring up the unlock, then I can unlock from the AR3.

Any idea how to disable that just for ARU in use?
[Android General] 400ixl:
You could use tasker to switch off the timeout and turn the backlight right down. Then turn it back on when disconnected.

Alternatively use the ScreenStandby app to do it for you. Doesn't appear to work for some on the N5, not sure why though, never had an issue on the ones I have set up for people.
[Android General] AMG1978:
I have tasker installed. still learning all this android stuff. I will try that first as i think it allows the most power. I just thought it may be something built in. No problem, let me tweak. Thanks for the second suggestion too.

:EDIT:

I played with Tasker a bit and using Rotation Locker is setup well. Can I disable the fact that ARU automatically sets my phone to Landscape when the BT connection initiates? I have my Tasker setup to force it to landscape when I use USB connection. Otherwise, if I am over BT in the car, no need for ARU to force it to landscape. I suppose being that my undocked Tasker profile kills ARU this may solve that?
[Android General] Area51©:
There's a Tasker profile made by M.a.s.e right here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47837690&postcount=1784

This will indeed kill ARU so that it doesn't do anything when BT connects for A2DP.

I am having a bit of an ARU break right now, but one thing I intend to do is to change when the built in Rotation Locker is activated. Not on BT connection but when Advanced App mode is started.

Error: bad packed data format

Do you know why I would get the message "Error: bad packed data format" after trying to import the name.tsk.xml file into tasker?

Thx!

Never mind...I figured it out...."name.prf.XML" needs to be placed in profile sub folder of tasker folder.
[Android General] bodieism:
While connected to the radio click the ARU app then press menu to access ARU settings and uncheck the force landscape option. The GPS injector auto start is built into this as well iirc so it will not autostart anymore.

Hey everyone,

Im just about to buy either the AR2 or the AR3. So I found this thread and read the first and last 10 pages...

Just wanted to check again, that ARLiberator is now fully working on the AR3? Could no find a video hat shows the AR3 with ARLiberator working on it... YouTube only shows AR2 with working ARLiberator...

Can anyone confirm its fully working with the AR3? I would definately prefer the AR3 because of its tilt funktion....

Any help and/or suggestions are very appreciated :)
[Android General] bodieism:
This thread is for ARU not ARLiberator... afaik ARL still doesn't work with the AR3, but I haven't been keeping up with it. ARU works fine with the AR3... depending on the phone, ROM, etc.
[Android General] Marcel_87:
Hey Thanks for the reply... I guess I will then try out the ARU (sorry for thinking it was the same app)

So everything is working fine using the ARU with AR3?

There is just one last question I have... Could maybe someone post all the stuff I need, to get my Nexus 5 hooked up to the AR3?

Here is what I know about so far....:

- The SlimPort to HDMI adapter

- The ARU app on my rooted Nexus 5 (Running a custom ROM as well [DroidKang14 just in case someone would like to know]

Also... Will there be a difference if I buy the AR3 in the US and use it in Germany? It costs around $345 in the US and $430 here in Germany... :-S

And what big advantage will I get by getting the AR3 instead of the AR2? The only thing I see is if I get the one with CD/DVD I can tilt the display... (Which actualy might be usefull for me... But is that worth paying around $80 more...?!?! Not sure about that...

What else do I need? And another question Im not sure about is the Handbrake... How do I get the AR3 to think I have my Handbrake on? Just connect the handbrake cable to ground?!

Thanks again for your help guys :) :) :) :good: Cant wait to get my HU here...might buy it in a minute as I just cant wait :D
