No worries. I have to support the developer anyway. It is the right thing to do. After some further checking the app does appear in the drawer however, it is a little green android with the file name of the one I gave you earlier. If you have Google Maps installed it will most likely be the icon right after that.
[Android General] sinbrad:
Thanks again for that, It was indeed the icon with the Android Robot. I was looking for the original icon. Gonna test everything out tomorrow as too late tonite to venture outside in the cold
[Android General] jpen:
Ok so this is a slightly off topic question, but not sure where else to post, and you guys seem like you know your stuff. So I am purchasing an AR3 next week, and I was wondering if I could have my Galaxy S4 hooked up by HDMI with ARU, but have an iPod connected also to the USB wire on the back of the HU. I have an old iPod that I leave in my car at all times so it would be nice to have that hooked up and use the iPod feature on the HU, but also use my phone incase I want to stream music.
[Android General] Area51©:
I don't think it's normal. On my Nexus 4 still running 4.2.2 it's still visible showing a red icon with ARU and a syringe, named ARUnchained GPS Injector. What phones do you have and what Android version are you runnning? For 4.4.x you need to move it to /system/priv-app.

[MENTION=5663829]sinbrad[/MENTION] I just saw that you have a 950DAB, I am afraid that it won't work with your HU. For those HUs with built in navigation Pioneer decided to not send the GPS data to your phone because they presumably want you to buy the map updates for the built in navigation. I put that in the description in the Play store.
[Android General] ixian:
This is good to know, thanks!

Do you happen to know off-hand if the Rotation Locker app, the one on the Play store, uses the same method? I like using that - while I do appreciate you putting the feature in to ARU (since RL is a paid app) RL does have a Tasker plugin so I have better control over when my screen rotates.

I was wondering why all the car stick installs I saw had a USB keyboard dongle hooked up. I still like the idea, but it sounds like a lot of trouble over using a phone, particularly a phone that uses SlimPort, which you can get good cheap cables for vs. MHL.
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes all rotation lockers use the same method.

I don't think that's necessary. My reason for giving it a try was because it's difficult to keep your phone charged and they tend to run very hot when being charged and providing HDMI at the same time.
[Android General] ixian:
Interesting question. My first instinct is to say while you could probably have both hooked up - Android doesn't need the USB port on the HU, the iPod doesn't need the HDMI connector, and you can connect two at once via BT - it'll probably confuse the hell out of the AR3. I don't know how you would be able to switch between the two using the interface. I'm pretty sure that if an Android device connects via ARU or the stock AR app then it switches to that mode.

That said, you could probably connect both via BT and stream audio only from the iPod to it, since the AR3 supports AD2P. You probably wouldn't get track information, etc, on the HU though from the iPod. I guess the only thing to do is try it and let us know :)

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Agreed - I wish Screen Settings worked for the N5 and reliably turned off the display without killing HDMI output, which might help - but since it's a phone my primary concern is not so much charging the phone but just keeping it from draining too much. For that reason, the USB port on the AR3 works fine, since 500mA will keep the battery from running down (much) but won't provide enough power to actually charge, and thus potentially overheat, it. As my phone stays with me I have other ways to regularly charge it and thus in the car I only care about not draining the battery too much. Everyone's use case is different though, that's just me.

I'm confused though - from your description it sounds like that with a Android stick you either have to update it outside the car or deal with a keyboard or force-kill ARU - which I think would require a keyboard anyway since that removes the BT connection? Maybe I missed an option?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes you can just disable the rotation locker. Power cycle the stick and it will work. But as a backup input method a mouse would be fine, not a keyboard.
[Android General] TEK112:
I have the Galaxy Note 2. Thanks to Verizon, I just received my update to 4.3 2 days ago.
[Android General] jpen:
Well the reason I thought of it was because watching a few videos of the AR3 and an Android phone, the iPod icon on the HU interface wasn't lit up or anything. So I am thinking that by hooking up the iPod, not with a pioneer "kit" to utilize that apps and whatnot, just a typical charging cable to the back of the HU that the iPod icon should light up and work. Hopefully if I get it I can test it out, still saving up a bit for it. Just curious if anyone else had tried it.
[Android General] fatalsync:
I have an 8500 bhs with an iPod Nano hooked up to the USB and I can use both that and my GS3 at the same time and it works just fine.
[Android General] sinbrad:
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 with android 4.3 at the moment. I did read the part where you put that it won't work with pioneer nav systems but took the plunge anyway. Since I'm actually pretty unhappy with the way this unit works, I'll probably get rid of it and purchase one without nav system as the support for this model out on the open web, and that includes pioneer, is non existant
[Android General] Area51©:
Sounds like a plan. Kinda weird from Pioneer that their high end models provide less AppRadio features than the lower end models like the AR2 and AR3.
[Android General] kachaffeous:
Just tried it for you. I only have old apple devices b/c I switched to android, but I tried a 3gs and 4s and couldn't get either of them to light up the icon with just USB plugged in. Not sure if the usb_ to 30 pin doesn't work or if the devices are to old. Guess I can find the manual and see what it says
[Android General] jpen:
Wow thanks for testing. Appreciate it. If you look at the attached picture it should work. That is the manual from Pioneers website. I thought it would, because every video I have seen with stuff hooked up utilizing the App features, the iPod icon was never on. So I assumed it was only for non appradio phones if that makes sense. But since it didn't work for you, I am curious if it actually doesn't or if it was your usb to 30 pin like you had mentioned.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Help!! Need to figure this out before I leave the audio shop. I connected Note 3 to my AR3 using MHL, got everything working great...but now when I plug in MHL I get "HDMI connected"...followed by "HDMI disconnected".. Over and over again. Do we need to swap the cable, or is there something in the settings I need to change

On the Appradio 2 the iPod / iPhone connection will only work over the Pioneer 30 pin to HU lead. I would assume this will be the same for the Appradio 3.

Doesn't disappear on my Nexus 4 on 4.4.2

Mind you, I used Root Browser to move mine manually as Titanium Backup didn't do it properly with 4.4.2. So maybe try moving it manually with that app.

You have to uninstall the stock AppRadio app first.
[Android General] Jayrcr3:
Thanks! That fixed it.
[Android General] j.brag:
So I just got my Nexus 5 hooked up with ARU and the display works but I get no audio. If I try the stock radio app and try to play pandora it works. If I go to the mirroring and try to use any apps that use sounds nothing works. I just get some kind of weird static.
[Android General] Area51©:
If you connect your phone and slimport adapter to a tv, do you get sound?
[Android General] cwalkin:
Ok, So Here is more info on my problem:

I have:

Appradio 3

Galaxy Note 3

HyperDrive ROM

ARU .15

Samsung MHL Adapter

Bluetooth On & connected

Most times when I connect the MHL adapter, I get "HDMI Connected" message then 2 seconds later "HDMI Disconnected" Message and the app button on the HU lights up, then greys out, repeat, repeat, repeat.

The only time I am succesful in connecting is if i Turn off car, unplug HDMI cable from MHL adapater, restart phone, then start car, click "ok" on HU screen, after phone reboots, unlock it, connect HDMI cable to MHL adapter, then connect MHL adapter to phone. Even that is only successful 50% of the time.

Also, when I am connected and I try to use a AR3 approved app like Waze, it shows on the HU, but then gives me a message about viewing it some other way so I can't use it.

Lastly, I noticed that the sound quality is better when I don't even connect ARU and just stream audio via bluetooth.

Any ideas???
[Android General] Area51©:
Handbrake bypass installed? I know that Waze won't allow you to do some stuff unless the parking brake is on. Or if the handbrake input from the HU is actually wired to the handbrake you have to put handbrake on, release and then put it on again. If handbrake input is not connected at all you could have weird problems like that.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Yes it is installed
[Android General] Area51©:
Ok, can you test the MHL adapter by connecting it to a TV?
[Android General] j.brag:
Just tested it out on the tv and yes sound works.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Just tested it it connected without any issues...ARU actually opened when i connected it. No "HDMI connect/disconnect" issues.
[Android General] Area51©:
Can you connect another device with HDMI output (DVD player for instance) to your AppRadio? After pressing Android icon just select ignore. With that other device do you get sound?

[MENTION=3027164]cwalkin[/MENTION]g , can you try the same? Then still have HDMI connection issues?
[Android General] cwalkin:
You mean connect the HDMI cable directly to another device? Or How bout connecting the MHL adapter in the car to a tablet?
[Android General] j.brag:
Just tried with my macbook pro and adapter. Video works perfect but still getting static for sound. Seems like a problem with the radio, I'll be returning it tomorrow. It's an open box Appradio 2 I picked up from Best Buy this week. Thanks for your help, I did purchase the injector app to show some support.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Connected Macbook Pro directly to HDMI and no HDMI connectivity issues. Pressed "apps" on HU, Macbook screen popped right up on HU, mirroring without issue. So MHL adapter works fine inside house without car-installed HDMI cable, and car-installed HDMI cable works fine without MHL adapter. ????

I didnt test for sound, but maybe i should (even though not primary issue).

Well after having no joy what ever I tried but today flashed brand new Echoerom V14 kitkat 4.4 and it works. I love it its great. Now what would be amazing is if you could add your own apps to the APU home screen.

Don't know if that is possible ?
[Android General] TEK112:
Open up Google Music and in the settings tell it to use the external SD card. In order to remove the music that has been saved locally you have to clear data on the app. It saves it under data not cache. Actually, thinking about it Google music has an option to delete all of the stored music.

1st time using ARU, didnt go so well.

Hello, I installed my pioneer AVH-X8500BHS and the pioneer android connectivity kit CD-AH200C. Rooted my phone and download ARU. Synced bluetooth, launched ARU and plugged the mhl cable in. Voila, my phone is mirrored on my screen. That is about all that worked. Once the mhl cable was plugged in my signal dropped to hardly nothing, one bar. Unplug the phone and it goes up to 3 or 4 bars. Plugged it back in and back down to 1. Next I tried to use goggle maps bit as soon as I turn the phone gps on the screen goes black. It is still running on the phone and I can't get a gps signal. Unplug the mhl cable and within less than a minute the phone says you now have gps signal. Next I tried to watch a show from my geniego app but got the message the app doesn't work on rooted device. Found a workaround by using the app root cloak pro. Launched the geniego app a the movie stayed playing, but for only a minute. The screen went to snow and then went black. The only way to get it back is to reset the radio. Any ideas what may be going wrong here? Also another problem unaltered to ARU, now that my phone is ripped my mobile hotspot isn't working. I read somewhere that SuperSU had a feature to turn root off but I can't find it in the settings. There is a full unroot option but I didn't want to select it because I didn't know exactly what it would do. I don't know how to root my phone, in fact I paid one of the sponsors of this site, rootandroid.com to root it for me. I don't want to undo what they did then have to pay them again to reroot my phone. If I can get the snow/black screen problem and the gps problem resolved I may just unroot the phone and use the original appradio app and just control the apps from the phone. Does anyone have any idea what I may be wrong with my set up?
[Android General] cwalkin:
Yessir!!! Moved storage to sd card and that did the trick!! Also deselected "store cache during playbook" will see how that works.

BT has to be on. Tethering shouldn't matter. That only affects Wi-Fi.

I have heard the snow issue is directly related to crappy cables.

As for GPS and signal, too weird. Have you tried disabling mock locations and allowing the phone gps to get the lock?

OK thanks...I don't have the snow issue, just HDMI connecting and disconnecting within seconds and repeatedly. Tested MHL adapter in the house with different HDMI cable and worked flawlessly, tested HDMI cable in car with Macbook Pro (without MHL) and it worked flawlessly.
[Android General] Area51©:
For just checking the HDMI connection BT doesn't have to be on nor wi-fi thethering. Just press the Apps icon on the HU and then Ignore.

That should just show your phone's screen without any HDMI disconnection messages.

BT connection is necessary to have touch and GPS data to your phone.
[Android General] Area51©:
Nope but why would you want that? You can just exit the ARU app and your normal launcher screen will be shown.
[Android General] maxum3300:
I am not using screen standby. I didn't know I needed a 5 to 11 pin adaptor until the first time I tried to used the stock appradio app. Found out the hard way. Went to best buy. They didn't have the Samsung bit they had one made by Auvio. Never heard of them. Anyway came home and tried it on my tv, world great, but on the 8500 I get snow and black screen.
[Android General] TEK112:
Is the car moving when this happens? I am having an issue where upon heavy braking war with my car is pointed down hill under braking the HDMI goes out briefly. I think I want to upgrade my cable is well. But for the time being I will just deal with it.

Fair enough. It's just I like the size and layout of the AR home screen. Used to be able to add much more when I had an iPhone and app extensions.

You could try Car Home Ultra. I think some people here use that.

That is what I use and it works great!
[Android General] cwalkin:
No, this happens when parked. But I think I've narrowed it down to an issue with the MHL adapter, my ROM, AR3 and ARU and here is why. I just noticed that when I connect MHL to phone in the car, not only does HDMI Connect & Disconnect, but I also keep getting the "for a faster charge plug in your original charger" message meaning it isn't JUST HDMI that's losing connection, but the MHL adapter itself. And since this doesn't happen when I connect MHL adapter in the house. Maybe I should install the new Hyperdrive OTA update and see what happens.

Yes, further searching this problem I see the genuine samsung mh, apadtor is recommended. I just orded the white mhl 2.0 cable.

Can you post the Tasker profile that you use?
[Android General] TEK112:
That explains it. Are you plugging into the USB on the head unit itself or do you have external power? In order for my MHL to function correctly I needed to hardwire in a powered USB port. I don't think the head unit puts out enough amperage.

How about your just pony up the money and support the dev who brought you this fine app for the AppRadio instead? If you can afford an AppRadio, you can afford the $6.99 or whatever it is.

Yeah good call. Problem is I had a good job when I bought my app radio but then I got made redundant so I'm now skint :(
[Android General] shaxs:
From my research, I dont believe I can use tasker to do the following:

When Bluetooth is not connected, home button works as normal and goes to my default launcher.

When Bluetooth IS connected to AppRadio, pressing it will cause Car Home Ultra to launch instead of the launcher.

Since I dont think Tasker can do that, I have been trying to think of a way to accomplish that. I think I found a way, but it doesnt exist yet. Maybe an Android Dev can tell me if this is possible and maybe I will pay to have it developed.

Here is the idea: I used to use an app called Home 2 Shortcut: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut

It would act as my launcher and then it would do a few things based on button presses. If you just pressed home once, it would then load a launcher of your choice. If you double clicked home, it would do some action based on settings. Ect ect. It had multiple options. They key is, it was thew default launcher for the system, used the navigational menu home click to do something.

What if a similar app was developed. It would technically be a launcher and when the home button is pressed and a certain condition is not met (I.E. not connected to AppRadio Bluetooth), it would then just load a launcher of your choice. But IF it was connected to the AppRadio, the "launcher" would then launch Car Home Ultra (or whatever app was defined).

Is this technically possible? And how hard would that be to code? I think this would make using the AppRadio in the car more useful and safe.

That sucks sorry to hear that. I wasn't trying to be insensitive. I am just trying to help the developer get what he deserves. I bought the app and probably wont even use it. I don't think he can charge for the ARU app because it piggy backs on Pioneers app.

[Android General] 400ixl:
Are you trying to get Car Mode working again which Google broke in 4.x of Android?

Basically make it turn on Car Mode so that Car Home Ultra can become the default home app when attached. If so, this problem has already been solved. You need to install the Xposed Framework and then the Enable Car Dock module. It will then work.
[Android General] bennetski:
Trust me, when I get some cash I will buy it. I rely on navigation apps a lot :)
[Android General] Area51©:
A little while back there was someone who had that problem. I turned out it was because he used an extension cable between his phone and the mhl or slimport adapter. What seemed to happen was that this extension cable didn't have proper shielding and the HDMI signal was disturbing the GPS signal. Now since you are using a non genuine mhl adapter exactly the same thing seems to be happening. A genuine adapter has much better shielding so it may solve this problem too.
