Morning all! Have just purchased the full version just to show my support, was happy with the old version but had to show my appreciation.

I need to get a new cable as mine is the cheap variety and sometimes doesn't work.

My setup is nexus 5 and pioneer sph-da100. Does anyone have a recommendation of one which is actually going to work and last? ?

Alternatively is it possible to use something like chrome cast and do it all wireless or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Thanks again!
[Android General] 400ixl:
Anaologix is a make that many use. I have actually bought a fairly cheap one that has lasted, mainly because it has a long flylead that means it doesn't bent at the joint too much which is the weak point in these.

You can go wireless with Chromecast. Its a bit of a pain to first setup and not 100% reliable, so you do sometimes end up messing about to get it going. I went back to wired as it was less hassle.
[Android General] wrayvon:
Hmm so if I do go wireless it still works the same? Full touch screen etc? May give it a go, if it is unreliable I could always send it back I guess! I don't know much about them though, what's the setup like?

Thanks!

FYI,I purchased the slimport adapter for my G3 and I now works like a champ
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, functionality is still the same.
[Android General] wrayvon:
So I went ahead and bought one, just waiting for an adapter to arrive before I can use it. Any quick guides on how to set this up with a car stereo?
[Android General] Xenosis:
On the chromecast/wireless note, I recently had a breakthrough after trying countless configurations.

You can set up a mobile hotspot, pair the chromecast to that hotspot one time with another android device, and than go into the chromecast app on the hotspot phone, and finally ignore turning wifi back on and just cast screen to the chromecast. It works flawlessly.

Day-to-day: Power up car (chromecast plugged in already), turn on hot spot (can probably be automated), wait for chromecast to power up, cast screen via phone and do whatever.

So long as you keep bluetooth on, the HU should do its thing automatically.
[Android General] Dougw133:
ever since I started using is dedicated device with AR Unchained reloaded I've been having a lot of connection issues. My tablet is always connected via HDMI and USB for power. Whenever I turn the vehicle on in my head unit powers up I get along hang sometimes it connects and sometimes it does not. Usually the only way to solve this is to manually connect using the Bluetooth connect option within the head unit. When I was using my phone simply plugging the HDMI in it always connected flawlessly using the auto start on HDMI option. Is there any reliable way to have a arunchained reloaded to connect while it's always hooked up? Is it possible to may be implemented feature to start and stop on usb power? I'm trying to set up a tasker profile however I can only start and stop the application, not the actual connection process.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Switch on the toggle bluetooth option and also the connect on HDMI option. This should sort it. Leave it so that it does not switch off bluetooth on disconnect.
[Android General] Dougw133:
thank you for the reply I really appreciate it. That is exactly how I have it set up. I don't know why its giving me an issue I'll test it again in the morning and report back.
[Android General] robollama:
How do you guys have your cords set up? I've got an Analogix SP1004 that works fine, but the cord is ridiculously small coming off of the adapter, and micro-USB extensions do not work. It really looks ugly with the Analogix SP1004 hooked up to my phone + hdmi + micro usb for charging. I tried buying this:

Cable Matters Micro USB SlimPort (MyDP) to HDMI 6 Foot Cable with 6 Foot USB Charging Cable but it flat out doesn't work. So, I guess I'm returning that and back to the ugly-ass Analogix SP1004.

Does anyone have a way to make the setup cleaner? (apart from abandoning my phone and going for an android hdmi stick/chromecast). :(
[Android General] Xenosis:
This one worked very well for me: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4V21T67852 - clean connection unlike others I've tried where it never felt like it was plugged into my phone. Other than that, get the HDMI extension coming from the back of the HU and plug the MHL cable into that.

(My bad, you need SlimPort) - ^ Ignore unless using MHL.

Some SlimPort suggestions:

The Analogix is the only adapter that fast charges my Nexus 5. Shows AC charging. Every other one shows USB charging, aka slow charge. If they made one with a long micro USB cord that plugs onto the phone, I'd be all over it.
[Android General] wrayvon:
Please forgive what could be a really stupid post...

How do you actually connect your chromecast to your hot-spot when it's plugged into a stereo. I know when it's in a TV you go to the hdmi channel but a head unit doesn't have channels like that. Just trying to get my head around this!

Confusing me! Will be trying tomorrow anyway but if you could explain that, that would be awesome!
[Android General] Xenosis:
I used a third android device which also hops on the same hotspot network after repairing the chromecast to it. You just use the market chromecast app to configure it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app&hl=en

The pairing is a one-time thing - after that you won't need the third device, just the same chromecast app on your main phone.
[Android General] wrayvon:
Ah brilliant, makes much more sense! Thanks! I shall be trying tonight ☺
[Android General] Asfi51:
Hi,

someone know how to switch off display of smartphone when MHL is used ?

:good:
[Android General] Xenosis:
Best way I know of: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby&hl=en (Screen Standby ♯ Root)

Set it up for auto HDMI detection.
[Android General] Nillaz:
I was just experimenting with this app on a Note 4 yesterday and came away unimpressed. It's not an officially supported device and while it worked as expected every now and again it would periodically do weird things with the screen, requiring a battery pull to reset. Does anyone have this working satisfactorily on a Note 4?
[Android General] Area51©:
This app is known to cause all kinds of trouble. Like creating lag and really bad response to SWC commands (delay of 1 to several seconds to a keypress) so use at your own risk.
[Android General] Nillaz:
Agreed. I messed with it for an hour or two before abandoning it, but I was curious if there was something I was missing here. I need to find a way to reduce battery consumption. I'm loving ARU and it was worth every penny, but the power requirements are prohibitive.
[Android General] Area51©:
The issue is that switching off the screen is not supported by the SDK so it involves directly addressing hardware which is a nightmare when you have to support all hardware. What would be easy to add, is to dim to minimum level. I plan to add that soon.
[Android General] Nillaz:
Understood, and thanks for the input. Looking forward to future updates!
[Android General] NK2014:
The previous my posts are here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57342174&postcount=47 . I switched from ARUR to ARU and ARU GPS Injector, so I continue in this thread.

I had no success with ARU GPS Injector on Android 4.4 wiht no clue from catlog and dmesg. Apart from a few "avc: denial" messages when arunchainedgps accesses /dev/uinput in despite of SELinux was set in permissive mode from boot time in init.rc :( So I gived up with 4.4 and flashed Android 4.2.

Again ARU GPS Injector does not work. When I press Start button it shows "Starting service" forever.

I double checked with the original Pioneer AppRadio application, I got my position on AppRadio Maps. WiFi was switched off, ARU and ARU GPS were uninstalled. Can return to home position after swept away current map view. The position slightly fluctuates over time what is common for a GPS position.

Go back to ARU and ARU GPS Injector. I attached logcat file from boot up to ARU connects to HU, I open GPS Injector and press Start button.

[Android General] robertusIT:
works if i have a nexus 5 with lollipop 5.0.1 ?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not put 5.0.1 on mine yet, job for the weekend probably.

ARU works on 5.0 if you also get SELinux in permissive mode, so 5.0.1 should be no different.

ARUR only needs root as it works with SELinux in enforcing mode.
[Android General] robollama:
Quoted for new page... I'm so sick of this ugly ass slimport adapter with cords everywhere
[Android General] jthall1010:
help please!!

I am sorry and I hope I don't bug you guys. I have searched hours and hours and hours and can not find a solution to my problem. I am trying to mirror my s5(rooted) to my pioneer agh-x2600bt. I bought the mhl adapter only to go to install it and there is no hdmi input. Im lost and clueless and have no idea where to go. I hope someone can walk me through a process and any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance if your able to help. My wife is getting pretty upset about how much i have invested in this lol
[Android General] 400ixl:
That model does not support this method, it only supports mirror link which requires a different type of connectivity altogether.

No one knows if ARU will work over that type of Mirrorlink either, so would be good to know that as well.
[Android General] jthall1010:
Thank you! I'm probably going to buy the mirrorlink adapter and see if it works. I know it worked with the s3 so I'm sure we can figure out a way to get it to work with the s5. If all else fails I have an iPad laying around that I'm sure I could probably hook up to.
[Android General] Area51©:
I am 146% sure it won't work with Mirrorlink as code for supporting this is only found in the latest Pioneer AppRadio release that was done in december. ARU uses an AppRadio version from more than one year ago.
[Android General] 400ixl:
My thought is the same. Would be good if someone who has bought one can confirm thought. At least we can answer with certainty and update the FAQ's etc.
[Android General] jthall1010:
So is there anyway to get GPS with touch control on the head unit from my phone? I love the idea of touch control and not just mirror. I guess I could probably use basic appradio app and do that? And again thank you both! Lifesaver! Glad I can come somewhere and ask questions.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Unlikely other than the Pioneer OEM functionality.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Upgraded my Nexus 5 to 5.0.1 and its all working fine.
[Android General] pamarakos:
Are we talking about usb connection or hdmi?
[Android General] hwardlaw01:
Been having great success using Appradio Unchained & GPS injector with Appradio 3. My set up is: official Samsung MHL adapter, Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 rooted with Negalites Wonderom/kernel that I not Selinux enforcing so it connects flawlessly 95% of the time. The other 5% it doesn't connect is when I have my Plantronics Bluetooth connected for voice & media. I'm about to upgrade to the Sprint Note 3 which ill root immediately but I don't want to add a new rom/kernel just yet. B4 I pay the whopping $30, will the ARUR app work out the box without a rom/kernel switching selinux to permissive. Don't want to have to change/add files for it to work like my current set up. If so ill just go ahead and add Fre3 Beastmode Rom/kernel, continue using ARU & GPS injector, & save $30. Anyone please advise...
[Android General] 400ixl:
I connect via Slimport on the AppRadio 2, so there is no USB option for me.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

ARUR works with SELinux in enforcing mode from what I have seen people report back. You will still need root and to make the app a System App.

The ARUR thread is at http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/android-4-0-root-appradio-unchained-t2955966/page3500
[Android General] RRSpikes:
Root yes, but there's no need to convert ARUR to a system app for an S4, S5, Note 3 or a Note 4.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Only if you don't want it to be able to switch mock locations.

Which probably you don't on the Samsung devices as GPS doesn't work properly a lot of the time on those anyway through the HU.
[Android General] Area51©:
It also depends on the HU. The AR2, 3 & 4 are the only ones that send GPS data.

lg flex and app radio

Can u please tell me how u Got this to work with ur lg flex… app radio 2
[Android General] 400ixl:
Slimport adapter connects to the phone USB port and the HDMI from the AR2 plugs into the slimport adapter.

http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/doc-1389715848757-en-LGEAI

To use ARU you will need to root your phone in order to get it to work.

Does that help answer the question?
[Android General] RRSpikes:
Sorry, I keep forgetting this thread is mostly AR2/AR3 related. I have a 7000NEX.

Anyways, ARUR is awesome!

[Android General] Dougw133:
Is USB a requirement when using HDMI? Using my tablet it seems to discharge faster than it can charge from the crappy pioneer 500ma USB connection. If it is required, is it possible to use and otg splitter to supplement with a 2amp source?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Without knowing what Tablet.

I assume it is one using an MHL adapter (USB to HDMI)? on most of these you can plug a USB cable into the MHL adapter to supply a charge (OTG is not possible). Using the HU USB is not really a good source, better to use a 2A source (cigarette lighter adapter for example) but you may still also require a fast charge kernel for the tablet to keep up with the power draw.
[Android General] Dougw133:
I am not using an MHL adapter. I am using direct HDMI out from the tablet which is the reason I am using it. So, having direct HDMI out is there any need for the USB to be connected to the HU or does Arunchained just need the HDMI and BT? If not, I'll do as stated, just use a 2 Amp source.
[Android General] Xenosis:
Working well on HTC One m7 and Nexus 5 for me. Zero hangups aside from lack of automating screen cast. Still it is just a few clicks so to speak.

One other wierd thing actually and I wasn't sure at first but I think it is due to chromecasts: I have to repeatedly configure ARU every time I boot up the HU, pair phone etc. ARU automatically connects but doesn't jump into landscape and when I open the app, I need to re-calibrate. So far I have just avoided it and jumped into Netflix and all is well. You can also use a rotation manager app to simulate the same functionality.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Just connect it to a better power source. If you go 2A you will also need a USB cable with the pins connected to make it think it is in AC mode. ARU just needs HDMI and Bluetooth.
[Android General] Dougw133:
Excellent thank you! I will just wire a switched 12V Source to an AC compatible USB cable and be done with it. Thanks for the info!
[Android General] Kalash:
I've switched over from ScreenStandby.

Yes - I think it's worth it. It's far less clunky, and doesn't seem to slow things down like SS does.

The setup isn't as pretty - but the quick actions (from the menu bar) work great for toggling the screen if you need to.

I've had the screen stay on a few times - toggle it on, toggle it off from the Nav bar prevents a complete reload of the System UI (relocks screen).

That's only happened one or two times - and I've been using it daily for a couple months now.

Merry Christmas to all of you
[Android General] themanapart:
Hi guys,

i've been using ARU 1.6 with my LG G3 and Appradio 3.

This morning I found my passenger window broken and my appradio got stolen. useless to say they also broke a little the dashboard.

anyway, since I cannot stand driving my car with such a hole in the dash, I am looking for a new headunit.

i've just read that Kenwood DDX7701HD or DDX5901HD or DDX8901HD are more Android compatible. while pioneer is tending more to be Apple friendly with Carplay.

i've seen in some videos that with kenwood is enough to use the official kenwood app to fully access and control the android phone via mhl cable.

anyone can confirm?

otherwise i'll just go for the appradio 4 :P
[Android General] Proweedsmoker:
While I have emailed the dev from google play, I wanted to ask here...... What am I doing wrong?

AVH 4000NEX with latest 1.08 firmware and Microbypass installed and soldered in.

VZM S4 w/ Hyperdrive RL20 rom / KT kernel

HDMI cable

USB to Micro HDMI (Charger)

Authentic Samsung MHL adapter

The phone sees the HDMI connection. When I updated the radio, I also lost the "HDMI" input option / whacked out, ghetto, but working screen mirror just from from the cable.

ARU hangs at "waiting for parking brake to be engauged" when I have the bypass installed, and just had a DVD playing for the kids last night on a small road trip. Video in motion works just fine. Why is ARU hanging asking for parking brake with its "bypassed"...

Also, maybe another 4000NEX user out there: When pressing the mode button, the screen just goes "Display off" however in all videos it goes to "app radio" somehow. What gives with this?

The bypass is wired/soldered as instructed and works fine, but why does ARU not see it?
[Android General] Area51©:
I will reply here too. It's an issue I was chasing for quite some time. I thought it's the handbrake input the head unit was complaining about but in fact it's the HDMI input signal. Only 1 bit difference. The issue is detected properly, however the message is wrong. So will fix it in the next release.

The issue is that when the head unit doesn't detect a valid HDMI input signal, it can't go into AppMode and waits for it to become available.
[Android General] Proweedsmoker:
Wow, thanks alot for your response so fast Area51!

So, Im trying to follow along here, You're saying the HDMI cable is bad/not working and that's causing the hang up? I know Pioneer has their own cable setup for 60 bucks, but I was under the impression any HDMI would work since it has to connect to the Samsung MHL adapter...

I will admit, I'm just using a regular HDMI Male/Male cable from the house because the Samsung MHL adapter requires a regular, full size male input. It was working hooked up just like the car on my house TV, and was working on the radio itself before updating the radio to firmware 1.08.

Just trying to find what I can do to use this lovely app!
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't know what is exactly wrong but since yesterday I am pretty sure that this means that the head unit does not get a valid HDMI input signal. This could be the cable / the MHL adapter or the power supply to the adapter.

You say it doesn't work after the firmware update. It could also be that you have to set some settings again. With the 4000NEX you can show the HDMI input, It's on page 46 of http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/AVH-4000NEX_OwnersManual011714.pdf﻿ , does that work?
[Android General] Proweedsmoker:
Link didn't work :(

I wish I could roll back firmware to what it came with out of the box, I'm pretty sure the update 1.08 is whats causing the problems. Just ran out to test again:

Heres my process:

Radio "Smartphone setup" set to "other" and HDMI

Ignition on. Radio is booting/playing w/e

Regular HDMI + Radio USB2? to USB to micro -> White Samsung MHL adapter -> Micro HDMI into phone. Phone Shows "HDMI cable connected" (Same setup that gave me the crappy mirror of the phones screen on the out of the box firmware.

Launch ARU -> Listening for connection. ARU toggles Bluetooth connection off -> Phone -> settings -> pair 4000NEX -> ARU negotiating protocol -> "Waiting for handbrake to be engaged" -> Brick wall. Nothing I change in settings changes this. (Except switching smartphone setup, but it just doesnt work this way)

The reason I use a regular HDMI+Authentic Samsung MHL is because Samsung is funny using no authentic MHL adapters (Snow/ screen flickering/ etc..,) I highly doubt Pioneers version would make any difference. the phone shows a good HDMI connection and charge, Just cant get the radio / ARU / past the parking brake error.
[Android General] Area51©:
Well, that handbrake message (which should read no valid HDMI input) is caused by the head unit. I can't change that. Note that once the HDMI input becomes valid, it will connect. I checked this with my AR3 today.

Theoretically it could be another issue. What you can do, is uninstall Reloaded. Install the Pioneer AppRadio app and see if it can connect. By connect, I mean, you get the 4 calibration snowballs and then the main screen. If that works it's another issue. If it doesn't work either I am afraid it means no valid HDMI input.

For the manual just go to the Pioneer USA page of the 4000NEX and check the owner's manual. No idea why the link won't work.
[Android General] Area51©:
Something else you can try is to connect a laptop with HDMI out to the HDMI cable that goes into the HU.
[Android General] Proweedsmoker:
Thanks alot for all the help boss, you have helped me narrow down the issue. I will try your suggestions / downgrading firmware / new high speed cable this week. Wife will kick my butt if I go back out tonight lol.

Just so weird the cable transmitted just fine before updating the firmware.

I have atleast figured out ARU is working as it should and I need to trouble shoot on my end.
