That looks a lot like mine. I don't bother with any of those task kills except ARU. Also I dont know if you are running a custom rom or not but I use tasker to enable expanded desktop. The rom I run (Purity) allows for expanded desktop to hide only to the nav bar not the notification bar which I find really useful.:good:

My tasker profile is this

Tasker > HDMI plugged

1. Bluetooth Off

2. Bluetooth ON

3. Load ARU

4. Load CarHome Ultra

5. Secure Settings : Expand desktop enabled

6. Display Brightness 0

Tasker > HDMI unplugged

1. Sercure Settings : Expand Desktop disabled

2. Kill ARU

3. Display brightness 52

Yeah I'm running Madhi rom. Expanded, Pie, and LMT. Awesomeness! Thanks DizzC.

FYI. I'm at car stereo shop now. Just tested my connections. Everything works as expected. :). Will test more when they finished up.

All done. Everything works great. Google NAV is awesome on the big screen. I can't change volume via the HU when playing Google Music... Bummer, but all else is working. I'm very pleased.
[Android General] tsitalon1:
Need a little help!

Appradio 2 installed on SG4 with MHL 2.0

Everything is working great except the backup camera.

Camera has power/ground and RCA is connected to "RC" jack on back of unit. Reverse trigger connected to reverse light circuit.

Using the menu and looking at "connection status", I can see the unit toggle from low to high camera signal when moving from Neutral to Reverse.

I can not get the unit to even attempt to see the camera, the icon in the top right is grayed out.

Do I need the parking brake lead attached to the unit to get the camera to work? I wouldn't think so..
[Android General] DizzC:
That's strange. The volume should be adjustable from the HU. It is on mine anyways.
[Android General] jdpdata:
So when you're in AppRadio mode the HU volume keys works for you? Mine doesn't do anything. Must a be setting I'm missing somewhere.
[Android General] DizzC:
Yes in appradio mode and Bluetooth mode I can control volume with the HU buttons. It only changes the volume of the stereo not the phones though, if that's what you mean.
[Android General] nosit1:
Still working on my Bluetooth connection, making it seamless. I recorded a video today for YouTube, since I did a lot of research before buying this and appreciate that there were some videos out there about ARU.

I have a 2007 Mazda 3. They come stock with steering wheel controls. I installed an AXXESS ASWC-1 controller module. It works great, except the SPH-DA210 doesn't see the play button. To get around this I use Headset Droid to map my next and previous track. I have one click next set to next, two click next to play/pause, three clicks set to screen off (for Screen Standby). Then previous is one click previous track, two clicks loads CarHome, three clicks turns screen back on.

It's a pretty nice setup and has been working pretty well for me. We end up watching a lot of movies through Nextflix on the radio while eating fast food.

It will only change the head unit volume, not the device.
[Android General] jdpdata:
So how do you people change volume on the phone? Mine is in the glove box not very accessible when I'm driving?
[Android General] Area51©:
There's a setting somewhere on the HU where you can enable the camera and set whether it should switch on on low signal or on high signal. Did you set that? If not RTFM;)
[Android General] DizzC:
I'm not sure why you need to change the phones volume? All sound comes out from the HU anyways.
[Android General] Area51©:
Why do you need to set the phone volume when you can change the volume on the HU. I always set the phone volume to max before connecting.

If you really have to change it you can go to the phone's settings menu and change it there.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I will look into it when I have time. If you make lots of $$$ and don't need it anymore just let me know:)
[Android General] jdpdata:
Maybe I'm not making myself clear. When I'm in AppRadio mode and playing music or watching Netflix/YouTube volume comes out to HU at fixed level. Pressing volume keys on HU don't change levels on the HU itself. Is this behavior not what you guys experienced?

I just got the thing installed yesterday. Haven't play with it much. Maybe I'm missing something.
[Android General] Area51©:
On the X8500 isn't there something about setting a volume mix mode or similar? I vaguely remember it was mentioned here before but I don't know any details as I have only an AR2 and an AR3.

Anybody has some ideas for a guy with a Samsung Note 2 SGH-T889. He has problems rooting it:

My first problem is that I can't get my phone to ask for Root Access when I load the unchained apk. I rooted my phone per these directions: http://xdaforums.com/note-2-tmobile#root. For some reason I haven't been able to get the app to request root.

Any recommendations from other Note 2 users?
[Android General] jdpdata:
Yeah I turn on mixing mode. Is that what's causing my issue. I'll test later. And A51 thanks so much for creating/supporting this awesome app.

Edit: Yup mixing mode was culprit. Turn off now I can adjust volume. But that means I can't listen to radio while using Google Nav. Oh well...

Does anyone know where to get a micro USB male to female extension cable that will carry data and not just charge? I have a GS4 with the official samsung mhl 1.0 adapter, but the adapter is "heavy" just hanging off the end of my phone with that short little male USB cord that comes out to the phone. I would rather stash the mhl in the dash and just have a regular micro USB cord coming out like a charge cord. But that will carry data too. Micro female to male seems to be almost non existent in a data carry form, I ordered one from amazon but it seems to be charge only and won't work with the mhl adapter and appradio

Did you root it properly? If so did you install the proper super user for your note 2? Or did you update the binaries yet? Or just go into the play store and download superuser

You were right :)

Problem was with camera polarity.. It was set to off..

Since I've already proven to be dim witted, I have no problem asking how do you get back to the radio without disconnecting your phone? Thought I could hold the home button down for 10secs but that didn't work.

no audio through HU samsung gs3

Just installed CM 10.2 on my AT&T Samsung GS 3 and installed AR Unchained yesterday. All the functionality of the phone seems to be working really well except the audio isn't coming through the head unit. Instead it just plays through the phone. Sorry if this is already an issue that's been resolved but I couldn't seem to find the answer. Does anyone have a suggestion? Already deleted the connection to my phone from the HU and added it again. As a side note, the audio comes through the HU just fine on Bluetooth audio mode.

For AR3 double click on the home button then tap on the grid of four squares that pops up.
[Android General] WaRDaNYo:
Great app mod! Sub-par radio from pioneer.

I've just installed in my vehicle. It has it's drawbacks and it's strengths, overall I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks for your hard work on the app! My HTC One is connected almost every time automatically, if not I just toggle Bluetooth on the phone. I find my phone gets quite hot while mhl is connected, and my radio usb port nor my cigarette lighter power adapter are sufficiently charging the phone. I may need a better charger, like the hard wired one suggested earlier in the thread.

My main complaints of the Pioneer AppRadio3 are:

No usb thumb drive support, every other radio has this function and it's not for lack of a usb port.

No SD memory card slot. It would have been nice to have one in the CD/DVD model, behind the motorized screen.

No internal writeable memory. Give me a few gb's for heaven's sake it's 2014!

Can only chooose one of 4 home screen backgrounds. Come on?

Do yourself a big favor and get the model with the dvd/cd drive, if you don't, you will regret it.
[Android General] Area51©:
To go back to the native HU interface you have to open the AppRadio app manually and then press the home button.

To go to the AppRadio app easily, swipe down the status bar and click the AppRadio notification.

Fast option to go back to the native HU interface on AR3: Double click the home button, touch the blue bar in the middle with 4 squares on the left.

Hi guys im having some issues trying to make my Nexus 5(rooted 4.4.2 stock rom) work with Appradio unchained or even the standard appradio 3 app from the playstore.

I got a slimport adapter today, i tested it on my tv and it works fine. but cant get it working with my SPH-DA110

Bluetooth hands free and bluetooth audio works fine, however when i connect my phone to the slimport in the car. There is a small red x beside a bluetooth symbol on the APP icon.

It looks like a bluetooth serial port profile is not being setup.

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

Did you set the connection setting on the HU to Other instead of Iphone?

Seems like i now have another problem that my parking brake bypass relay doesnt seem to work with this model. I wired it up the same as on my old 3300BT unit.

I have no idea why it won't work in some screens. There's really no explanation that I can think of. If it happens too with ARL then I suspect it's something on your phone.

I don't think it's related to rooting but you never know.

Great video for people new to the app. Also good to see some of the issues. Only one minor remark, you didn't try the menu and back hardware buttons on the radio.

At some point in time I will try to add a rotation locker, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

Some of the issues come with the app for free. So maybe they will be there forever because it will just take too much time to fix and not really worth the effort.
[Android General] zr2ee:
yeah i always forget about those ones because i have the on screen buttons
[Android General] Area51©:
That feature is more for people with Samsung phones. But sometimes it's quicker to use the menu button when you have a really small menu in the upper right corner.

What do you mean " make this full screen" ?

In response:

This app is free, the fixes you need are free, here's what to do until he has enough time to fix stuff and people donate enough to make it worth his wild!

Since the note 2 (probably note 3/ any samsung) home screens do not auto rotate in the stock touchwiz/samsung rom i use rotate ultimate control which has toggle buttons you can add to your home screen e. g. Landscape and force rotate (always changes to current angle) multicom allows for 4 toggle buttons in one. You would then be able to force rotate anytime you want and also select landscape when you are at the home screen when ARU opens. You will need a toggle for the screen standby app also to make your phone's screen dark. I do not have the keyboard issues with the note 2 and do not have that setting available in that video demo of the second version.

Also

I personally never did the screen calibration white dots and just hit the home button on my phone when the dot popped up and all worked fine. I will turn off bluetooth, and I'll try out the white dots and see if there is an auto connection difference to avoid the issues I posted earlier.
[Android General] rchapoteau:
Basically the launcher doesn't rotate on its own. When I'm looking at my home screen its always in portrait. ARL will automatically rotate it for me once its connected when using the Note 2. I've installed a screen rotator to get around this, but I'd definitely donate if this became something that happens automatically like in ARL.

[Android General] Norcalz71:
any thoughts on if something like this would work? says it is for the note 2/Gs4 and accommodates the 11-wire cable factor:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RT0XW2320.

If I understand the interface right, the standard micro usb male-female extension i bought does not work MHL adapter to phone because it is only a 5-wire, while the samsung MHL requires 11-wires (which I hope is what this is).

Personally I havent touched a cd/dvd in years so I don't regret it at all, What really bothers me is that the HU has no memory at all. Like not even enough to remember my radio station presets when the battery is disconnected. How lame is that?

Long time tech nerd, first time car techie.

So I just got my appradio3(sph-da210) installed yesterday, and what an upgrade!! But my question is: Do I have to have the pioneer mirror-link cable for your app to work correctly? I have the android connectivity kit installed. And I started fiddling with syncing and stuff this morning, it seems to stream music great, but i haven't figured out the mirroring yet. Where would I start with that? I'm a desktop support tech, so I know technology really well, but this is my first rodeo as far as tech in a car goes.

I am currently rooted running the M.O.A.R. on a sprint S3 still on 4.1.2 though.

Many Mahalo's for the out right mind bending work going on here!! And once I get this all dialed in, a big donation will be headed your way!

And for anyone looking for the parking brake bypass. I just searched ebay for my head unit model #, and sorted by price, they were listed first. The actual factual Microbypass was $20, works great, and is worth every penny! Even came with detailed install instructions. They are specific to the models(for the most part), so make sure you search correctly & read the description carefully.

[Android General] Area51©:
I don't know what the "android connectivity kit" is exactly. Basically you only need a MHL adapter to get a HDMI signal to the HU and something to power the adapter which in turn powers your phone. For a Samsung it's best to get a genuine Samsung MHL adapter or you will have snow issues. For details see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49969354&postcount=3036 or just search the thread for "genuine Samsung". To power you want something that can deliver at least 1.5A. The best seems to be a hardwired USB power adapter. Search the thread for "hardwired" for links.

HDMI Stick/Note 3

Good Morning, I feel like an idiot and probably am, but what is considered an HDMI stick? I just purchased a netgear push2tv 3000 would that be considered one?

Also, has anyone gotten the Note 3 (Veriion) to work with AR/ARU? I had success the first initial connection, but nothing since. I've done some searching here and not much as far as the Note 3.

Thanks as always for any help.
[Android General] weazrbmxr:
The android connectivity kit is the genuine pioneer MHL adapter kit for any and all android phones. I have that connected and installed, I'm just not quite getting the part where I can fully control my phone through the HU. I think I found something last night trolling through this thread, and the manual(I finally needed to read one!), but I get the hdmi plug with the red up arrow icon when I'm in the car. I read somewhere that I need to connect through bluetooth before plugging in hdmi, I'll try that and see if something starts to work.

[Android General] evillela2001:
Yes you can but there is a bit of a lag. I couldn't take it so I went back to the slimport adapter. Also I experienced audio break ups
[Android General] gcheok:
The lag is with the projection or the control of the phone?
[Android General] evillela2001:
Yeah there's about a second of lag between touch input and screen response. The audio issues are what really made me not use it
[Android General] Area51©:
I think for a Samsung you will need a 5 to 11 pin adapter for the MHL adapter to work. I recall that it has to be a genuine one as well or you will get snow. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47156244&postcount=1150

You need bluetooth to be able to control your phone from the AR touch screen. If you cancel the bluetooth connection you will however be able to see the phone's screen.

Hi,

I also have a Galaxy S4 and I hesitate to upgrade to Cyanogen 11 or Omega 22, knowing that you can upgrade to 4.3 after more ...
