So I'm at best buy and bought all the parts myself. They are going to install it and asked me if I bought the harness kit for my Volvo. I didn't know what that was so they said they would hard wire it and charged me $35. Is this accurate? What harness kit?
[Android General] Area51©:
Harness kit would be a cable that connects on one side to your existing radio connectors (that now connect to your stock radio) and on the other side to the ISO connectors from the AppRadio cable.

I think hard wiring it means they cut off the existing radio connectors and connect it to some ISO connectors or even cut off ISO connectors from AppRadio and solder both ends together. It would mean that if you want to put back your stock radio later it may be a bit of a challenge.

Here's a weird issue someone may be able to help with

Here's a little issue.

I have just got this all working on my rooted HTC One. I have installed Screen Standby, busybox etc.

It all works fine until I reboot the One, then Screen Standby wont switch the screen off. It says it is going into screen off, but it stays on. Screen off button does nothing, does not highlight etc, but emergency button does, as if it thinks the screen is off. Pressing screen off then does nothing either.

Going through the Screen Standby menu setup again, it says busybox is not installed. I then have to go back into busybox and install it again, upon where the Screen standby works fine, until I reboot and it all goes wrong again. I have just noticed if it is all working and I shut my phone off for over 30 mins or so, it does the same and needs busybox installing again.

Am I missing something stupid. I know it is a busybox issue, but wondered if any of you guru's could help as I have searched the net with no help. Is busybox supposed to load on every reboot, or is it only used to install Screen standby, then it's not used as such.

Sorry for asking here if it is the wrong place, but I have no reply from Screen Standby forum, cannot find anything at all on busybox forums, and tbh I am not sure how busybox should work being a newbie :) but seeing as most of you guys are running the Screen Standby thought someone may be able to help.

Although I am rooted etc, I am running the std T Mobile rom which came on the phone, do you think this could be the issue?

Tearing my hair out now as I am just going round & round. So close to having it perfect but so far.....

Cheers

RIGHT, all sorted. I ended up wiping and flashing a Revolution rom and all is happy so it looks like it didn't play nicely with a stock rom. Just a heads up in case anyone else comes across the same scenario!!

Bodeism, if you aren't even going to bother understanding what you're trying to argue with me over then you're just being purposefully obnoxious. The point isn't what you meant, and isn't about you. Hell, I wasn't the only one calling for people to be explicit so your comments are that much more pointless. Even if you meant something it behooves you to be explicit because clearly not everyone is on the same page or cares enough to make sure. Besides, my mind reading abilities have died after so much disuse.

So the S4 no longer requires phone GPS to be enabled to use turn by turn on Google Maps? And you can use Google voice search with the AR3 microphone?

ARUnchained GPS Injector

The GPS Injector just went in production in the google play store.

[Android General] AxelRoldos:
Hey everyone! I have a Nexus 5 I think I'd like to get working with this. I'd like to get a few things clear, if someone doesn't mind explaining a few things to me:

The screen on the phone HAS to remain on in order for the mirroring to work? I suppose it makes sense, but since steering wheel controls to change the track won't work, I liked being able to use the volume rocker while it sleeps to change the track.

I understand that BT is required to transmit certain data. But does their HAVE to be an MHL wired connection? I saw a video for a similar app (ARLiberator) where the demo phone was connected to the HU using the wireless display feature built into Android. (Or did I misunderstand that?

Can you use the HU mic for everything voice related? Ie, OK Google, voice prompts, voice to text transcriptions, calls, etc?

I'm sure the answer to this may be scattered throughout but using the search function yielded unviable results. If someone could fill me in, I'd really appreciate it!
[Android General] bodieism:
Oh I understand perfectly what I'm trying to argue and I think most everyone here will agree with me that it is YOU, who is being obnoxious. Everyone here was just trying to help you and you seem to get off by slapping them all in the face. If you maintain your present course you can rest assured that no one will assist you with trouble shooting or help of any kind. If you want to continue being a jerk feel free to quote me or respond to this post, but I'm done with you.

Enjoy yourself :D
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
U can use screen standby app (may very if supported on ur phone and version). - that will fix ur screen on issue.

BT is a must but for mirroring u can also use wireless display .. The two supported devices are netgear ptv3000 and Samsung allcast share hub...

The pioneer mic will support phone search calling etc. It will not support OK Google or Google built in search. For that until further development u are subjected to pioneer SDK built in search tool...

Steering wheel controls should work on ur phone as long as ur in appmode (connected mhl) and BT connected. Fast forward and rewind are not yet supported on appmode.
[Android General] lpasq:
I confirm I do not need phone GPS on my Nexus 5 for turn by turn with ARUGPS. I don't have a Samsung. Google voice search from Google Maps? Haven't tried yet. Will do so and update.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Well done. Have purchased it to support the cause.

Probably won't get time to install and test it until next weekend though.
[Android General] Area51©:
I worked on it last night. I am able to take it out but after that GPS Injector won't start anymore. I think then advanced appmode isn't working anymore. Will look for a better solution.
[Android General] :
Yes indeed it works.

Yes, I also bought this injector in store.

- But sometimes that does not automatically connect the injector after the system starts. - In principle not critical.

Thank you.

I removed the video but do not yet have a certain number of posts to insert it into your post.
[Android General] Darthdiddy:
Yeah you need the mhl/hdmi wired direct that provides video, the bt part is transmitting touches, as far as going completely wireless there are devices out there that connect to the stereos hdmi and provide a wireless connection to your phone and or tablets.
[Android General] Sean_S:
Great App! Excellent work!

Ruud,

I want to post my thanks for this app. I have not had any issues with it. It has enabled me to have an infinitely customizable HU for about $500--fantastic. I've purchased the GPS injector and it works great as well. Now I need to take a long road trip...

Again, many thanks for your time and effort!

Proost!

[Android General] llxxjinxxll:
I just installed the injecter from the appstore....however does this mean that its impossible for me to install the app as a system app?
[Android General] Area51©:
No, you can convert it to a system app. One of the easiest ways is to use Titanium backup but there are many other ways as well.

From the FAQ:

This can be done using Titanium backup:

Open Titanium Backup

Search for ARUnchained GPS Injector

Long press and choose convert to system app

Reboot phone.

AVIC-Z150BH and GPS Injector

It seems that AVIC-Z150BH and GPS Injector don't work together. Earlier in this thread there was a posting that suggested that Pioneer blocked this in some way as the AVIC-Z150BH has built in navigation and Pioneer want to keep selling maps for that.

It would be interesting to know whether this is blocked in the HU or in the SDK. It's likely that it's blocked in the HU but when it's blocked in the SDK it's possible to hack it.

I added a warning to the store listing that AVIC-Z150BH and similar units with built in navigation are not supported.
[Android General] antvuur:
I didnt have to convert anything and it works fine, my phone gps is disabled and sygic dosent ask for me to engage it so it uses the HU gps.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM
[Android General] exhausted1975:
Yep. It's no go on the 150BH. But it should be noted that Waze and the "native" maps app in Appradio wouldn't work on the 150BH either so yeah, there is something about the AVIC units. Interestingly enough though, Google Maps/Nav and all that work just fine on the 150BH without the injector so it's not a huge deal for me.

AR3s are on sale here so I just popped one in my wife's car and yeah, injector works fine there of course.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think I understand why those don't work with the Z150BH. Waze can work in 2 modes. Mode 1 is using the phone GPS. Mode 2 is using the Pioneer SDK. As I was "inspired" by Waze's code I know it doesn't do a check for which HU type is connected. So when connected to a Z150BH it will use Mode 2 but a Z150BH doesn't actually supply any GPS data so it won't work and it won't use the phone's GPS either. Sounds like a big Pioneer fail to me.

Those would be using the phone GPS as they don't have the Pioneer SDK built in.

Good, at least you can still use it.

Is there any way to disable rotation locker?

Some apps that I like to use on the appradio including the NBA and NFL apps are not compatible with the forced rotation.

Right, can I......

Guys & Guru's

I have this working as near as damn it perfectly but I have one question.

At the moment I have the screen rotate so when I plug the MHL adapter into my HTC One, obviously Appradio Unchained connects & all is good.

Now my issue is, even when I don't plug in my MHL, the screen, but bluetooth connects, then Appradio connects, rotates the screen. Is there a way to either have Appradio be a manual procedure to turn it on, rather than automatically doing it, (app runs in top left at all times), which would mean I could have just the bluetooth phone side working without the screen flipping.

I do like the rotation btw, as all my apps, screens etc work perfectly, I just don't want it doing it all the time.

I know of a program called tasker, but not sure how or if I could get this to work properly.

Cheers
[Android General] rs2k:
Thanks, that's the app I'm using to come up with the mah numbers. When I show AC I'm actually only charging at about 500 mah. When I'm on USB I'm only charging at 250 mah. When I'm pluggred into slimport I have a drain of about 600 mah. When I plug it in with fast charge enables I get a drain of 100 mah. I can get that close to 0 by undervolting and reducing max cpu but then I get a sluggish experience. I really need to figure out what's going on. I'm plugged into a 2 amp charger right now wtih GPS + torque + full brightness and am getting a 100 mah drain right now. I was able to charge while running all that in the past with the stock rom... I may just have to find another rom.

Anyone get a blackscreen :-/ issue ?? do you think it's a MHL box issue ?

Thanks

[Android General] Area51©:
Did you connect your handbrake cable?

Do you mean that the "Apps" icon on the headunit stays grey? Or does it turn green, you connect and then the whole screen stays gray?
[Android General] Maxd13:
I bypass the hand break by attaching it to the ground. All the function lock out are available so this should be ok

What I means is the unist display work fine, but When I connect the phone, The apps icon change with the little android green (normal). if it's the first time ( becuase I reset, reinstall try & try several time ) I go the calibration screen on the smartphone but the unit stay black/grey. If I go true the process of calibration, the smartphone is acting correctly but the display of the unit stay black/grey. The touch screen on the unit work and I can manipulate the phone from the unit... So looks like the video signal do not pass.

It's the official cables from Pioneer that we can get here CA-ANW-200.

Any help are welcome :)

Thanks

Got my AR3

Today I received my SPH-DA110. Have installed it already on my desk with a 12V power supply connected.

This makes developing and hacking so much easier.Great!

I got it at www.hifidump.nl for 339 euro (about 460$) for here in the Netherlands that's cheap because most shops charge 449 euro (607$) for it.

That's a crazy price I think. Hifidump sounds a bit dodgy so I googled a bit and everything seemed ok. So ordered on monday and received it today.

Everything was neatly packaged so I can recommend them.

Also I quickly did a check whether the communication protocol is really a lot different from AR2. I compared my communication log file from the AR3 with some old logs from the AR2 and it's a bit different but not a lot. It's not encrypted or something difficult like that. Good to know in case I want to make an ARL clone. In the end I might do that.
[Android General] Area51©:
That seems really weird. I think the apps icon only changes to green when it detects a HDMI signal.

Another thing you might try: can you connect the HDMI output to a tv? If that works you know you have HDMI video signal.

The only time I get a black screen is when the phone switches off the screen after not using it for a while.

Are you sure there's nothing on your phone that might blank the screen?

Are you sure your rom actually correctly supports HDMI because some custom roms have issues with that.

Thanks for working on this application!

I've been waiting on ARLiberator to support AppRadio 3 but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon so I'm thrilled to see another developer figuring it out.

Update: AR3 Using Galaxy S4 Stock Everything

Thanks for the reply ... Seems like the problem I was having was user error ... Somehow I disabled the root access and didn't know ... After enabling it it seems to be accessing great with no slowdowns or error messages ... I am still trying to test the features , but as of right now it's on point ... Using Ultimate Rotate ( Auto rotate and lock when plugged in ), Button Savior for complete access, and Screen Standy By ( Phone screen stays off but mirroring stays on ) ... ABSOLUTE GREAT JOB .

Question: Is there anyway turn off the proximity sensor ... My phone is docked in my armrest in my truck and when I access one of my voicemail apps it triggers the proximity sensor and everything goes black.
[Android General] Area51©:
Since I have an AR3 on my desk now I finally had some time to test ARU a bit more myself.

I noticed that once the Pioneer app is closed, that when your screen times out and goes dark, the screen on the AppRadio

(of course) goes dark too. Yet nobody reported having a problem with that except one guy reported it tonight. So are

you all keeping the Pioneer app running in the background? Just wondering why almost nobody reported it.

AT&T Note II with CleanROM 4.9 and the SPH-DA210 AppRadio 3 works like a champ! I'm also using Button Savior and Screen Timeout and everything works fantastic!

Taking my car out for a bit tonight so I will try it for a bit longer then just the few tests I did yesterday
[Android General] zr2ee:
That's been the reason for most people using screen standby, if the screen turns off the MHL output turns off as well, screen standby helps with the battery drain and heat while keeping the MHL output active. I just keep ARU running in the background, also there is some developer settings and screen standby settings to help mitigate this.
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
Isn't your app built on the pioneer one? The beta we downloaded is called appradio in my app drawer.

I used it a bit tonight and so far so good.. Looking forward to the updated version you are working on
[Android General] stewbuntu:
Is there a way to create a macro? Similar to Motorollas' car dock Which automatically sets everything up for your car.

When plugged into hdmi/mhl or when selecting appradio app

1. appradio app opens

2. Blue tooth connects (maybe turns off then on and selects ar3 connect)

3. Select ok to app warning about moving

4. Select home screen when the black screen w a dot shows up

5. Puts phone in landscape mode

6. Selects appropriate keyboard

Maybe then auto luanches an app u can select or edit e.g car dock app, pandora....

Im sure there are some other things nthat could be added

Just a wish
[Android General] nfaust01:
You can do this with tasker. Not a free app but highly worth the cost. I kill ARU when not in use and start upon a Bluetooth connection to the AR3 and power over USB. I leave Bluetooth on so I don't have to worry about that. I also do other things such as enable say aloud SMS I receive.
[Android General] jimmietilt:
I consider myself very good when it comes to pretty much anything android but ill be damned tasker is a tough nut to crack! I simply dont get it! Anyway that someone can set that up via tasker and then share the configuration with us in a file that can only be opened by tasker? Just a thought...
[Android General] rs2k:
I thought that was normal. I just used tasker to keep the phone awake and used screen standby to keep the device's screen from running.

My setup so far:

Nexus 4.

Modified by adding .5mm heatsink to cpu.

CM 10.2 nightly.

AK kernel.

Trickster Mod settings:

Fast Charge Enabled.

Intellidemand CPU Governer with max/min set to 1512000/270000

Undervolt for lower frequencies set to 100000 uV

Undervolt of higher frequencies set to 75000 uV

Ondemand GPU Governer with Max GPU frequency set to 320

Intelli-Thermal On

Frequency Throttle Limit 55C

Core Offline Limit 65C

Apps:

Tasker.

Ultimate Rotation Control.

Trickster Mod.

Screen Standby.

(MUST disable Persistent Blank Frame for Nexus)

(Set to have screen turn off when HDMI is detected and phone is upside down)

Ultimate Car Home.

Navigation launcher Beta. (Love this)

Torque Pro.

I finally got the device to slowly charge while using all the apps above.... most of the time at least. I still need to do more work to figure this out.
[Android General] stewbuntu:
I installed the pioneer kit and do not have any video issues/ snow with it. It even seems more snappy, maybe bc it was jumping from screen to snow to app when I selected an app before.

The ipad sized screen protector has enough room to cut out two of them. I was at the tigerdirect.com store looking for a usb extension and I grabbed a screen protector to see if it works. I tried what they had, targus and turbofrog brand, but they suck for sun glare. I'm going to see about getting a zagg or something better which tiger did not have.

I do have trouble getting consistent results starting it up. Sometimes I have to hit bluetooth then ARU, or turn bluetooth on and off, hit bluetooth on the AR3, start ARU, close reopen, etc. Does anyone know the correct sequence, or should I just be waiting 2 minutes.

I have multicon on my home screen with a dozen icons with the 1x1 widget to put 4 apps in one spot. It's a quick and easy fix for now.

Download Rotation Locker and Tasker. Make a context in Tasker based on Bluetooth connection to radio and HDMI Plugged. For the Task select plugin and set Rotation Locker to force landscape. Then add an exit Task to force portrait. Then it will only go to landscape when plugged in and will return to portrait when unplugged.

So, the Google Maps issues I was having with ARL not accepting mock locations is identical with ARU. It is something that was made kaput in Google Maps' most recent update with Galaxy S3 phones, it would appear. Hooray!

Mock locations was correctly enabled by the GPS injectory utility, though with it as a system application it is no longer accessible (something that should probably be updated with the next ARU version; I know I can access it via a program like Titanium Backup, but it's be nice not to have to).
