I'm just gonna make a run-down of how i have this thing hooked up. Maybe someone will point something out.

I am using a VZW Galaxy S5 running optimalrom, into an AVIC-8000NEX. From my S5, I am using this MHL adapter to transmit from the phone to the radio.

From there, I have my HDMI cable plugged into the adapter on one end, and the other into the back of the AVIC. I then have a micro usb cable going from port 2 on the pioneer to the mhl adapter. I bought ARU Reloaded from the app store, and am using that.

I don't think I missed anything. It seems like the MHL adapter is bad, because it pixelates, breaks up, and just works crappily in the car, but when i bring the adapter inside and hook it up to a TV, there's no problems. I don't even have to use a USB to power it. I'm exchanging the adapter tonight at best buy (and might haggle them because they charged me 60, samsung sells this for 40!), i'll post results but it seems like something is wonky. I'll most likely go with the above member's set up if this doesnt work
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
Your setup sounds fine. Same thing I went through when I first installed my system. It is either a bad mhl adapter or a crappy/bent HDMI cable. I noticed when using the Samsung mhl adapter, if I bent the end of the HDMI that goes into the mhl, I could stop/start the screen issues. Since I changed to the mhl cable off amazon, picture has been fine. Plus, I sit my phone in my cupholder and with the Samsung mhl attached, its just clunky and cables get all tangled and bent and that's just gonna cause more problems in the future. Now with the mhl cable, I have 3' extra cable and no clunky mess to deal with.

I work for best buy as a car electronics installer (10 years now) They should have a rocketfish brand mhl adapter you could could try as well, my store doesn't carry the Samsung one so I had ordered it off amazon. But really you should just buy the mhl cable I linked and not have to mess with it any more ;)
[Android General] spadz93:
well i spent 60 bucks, so ill try getting a new one, and if no dice, i'll return it, cut my losses, and order your setup :good:

Edit: brand new second samsung mhl adapter made it 10 minutes of the way home before crapping. Picked up the rocketfish piece at best buy and was using that, still broke. Ordered the rankie

Hey guys, I'm currently running the new free version of appradio unchained. I have an HTC one m8 running lollipop. Already rooted and SU permissions granted. Appradio 2 unit. Everything connects and I'm getting the mirroring but I cannot use my appradios touchscreen. Before my lollipop update it worked with no issues. Now Ive got nothing. Any ideas? It may be something simple but I'm not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
Check under settings/about phone

Is SELinux set to enforcing or permissive?

If enforcing, download this app and see if it switches to permissive, that should get you going.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux
[Android General] Silvahawk:
I actually don't have SELinux. I didn't need it before. I'll get it and try it out.
[Android General] 400ixl:
SELinux is a default part of Lollipop, so unless you are running a custom ROM that has already put it in permissive mode you do have it.

As recommended, try the app, if you have an up to date SuperSU then it should set it correctly.
[Android General] Silvahawk:
I can't find it via settings > about phone. I'm running the stock Rom. Weird. Ok, I downloaded the app and have it set to permissive. But touchscreen on the appradio still not working.
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
I'm just guessing here, I have an s5 and that's where my SELinux status shows up. When you opened the mode changer app, did it ask for root privilege? And when you tried to connect to the radio, did you start over from the beginning? I would reset factory defaults on radio and clear Bluetooth paired devices in the phone then try again, but all this is assuming your SELinux did in fact change to permissive...
[Android General] Silvahawk:
Yes, it asked for root privilege which I granted, however I did not try factory defaulting the unit and starting over. That's probably somethin I should have done. I will try that.

By the way, thanks for the help!

I'm planning on getting my appradio 3 tomorrow but first I have some questions....

1. Has anyone had success with the LG g2 d803 stock Rom

2. if so what cables did you use or did you just buy the pioneer cable kit

Please if anyone could help that would be great cause I don't want to spend 300$ on something I can't really use.

3. this is probably a very stupid question but what features can you use if you don't connect a phone to the HU
[Android General] 400ixl:
Yes, people have got the G2 working. It is essentially a Nexus 5. The Pioneer kit will not work as the LG G2 uses slimport adapters not the MHL adapter as supplied with the Pioneer kit.

You can stream music on the Appradio 3 without it being physically connected by a cable, use the radio, iPod feature etc.
[Android General] Silvahawk:
Update. It worked. Factory reset the head unit. Cleared all Bluetooth on phone. SELinux is on permissive. Paired it back up and connected back. Full mirroring is working now. Thanks for the assistance!

hi,

I see in my data usage that ARU sends every time about 30k data

is it needed?

can it be disabled and how?

thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
When I view it with Notepad++ I don't have this issue so maybe you can try that?
[Android General] Norcalz71:
This has cleared the issue up, thank you.

I was/maybe am having an issue where for weeks at a time, it will just refuse to connect. Then suddenly it will work for months on end. I just reflashed to a new ROM on my S4 (ATT) though, so I will give everything another go under the new setup and see how we do. Thanks for the Notepad++ tip.

Hi all,

I currently have a Pioneer SPH-DA110 with a Sony Xperia Z. All was OK ...

But my Xperia is dead ... so I plan to buy an other smartphone : Samsung Galaxy S5. This Samsung is now under Android Lollipop.

Could you tell me if AppRadio Unchained + my Pioneer + Galaxy S5 will work ? What I have to do, only root the stock version of my futur S5 ?

Thx for all ;)
[Android General] 400ixl:
What do you mean by connected? Using Chromecast or Miracast, or have you tried an MHL cable. Nexus 6 does not support MHL if you have.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Personally I'd avoid Samsung, but if you do go that route then yes, pretty much the same process software wise. If using ARUR then you don't need to worry about SELinux, if just ARU then you will need to get it into permissive mode. Only other difference is the S5 uses a Samsung proprietary MHL connection and there are lots of poor quality fakes out there, so get an MHL 2.0 adapter direct from Samsung.

So, root, get SELinux in permissive, install app, if using injector app make that a system app, then setup as per any phone.
[Android General] Blackfox123:
Question can you run ARU on any android device like a galaxy ace 2 or galaxy core? Reason for asking is my s2 just crashed on me ? so looking for a cheap phone to keep it in the dash and always plugged in the HU.
[Android General] 400ixl:
The phone must support HDMI out via either a physical connection or wireless protocols such as Miracast, Chromecast or Allcast.

Others have used an Android dongle to do the same thing.
[Android General] Asfi51:
Thx 400ixl for your answer :)
[Android General] metalcated:
Just got my deck installed (head unit: AVH-8000NEX with PAC TR-7) Doing some more messing around today... I have the head unit in the Other/.HDMI mode and on the phone HTC One M8 running GPE (Google Play Edition) (Lollipop 5.0.1 / rooted), I have to open Unchained and then the AppMode app opens after I press Start. Then on the Head Unit does not let me press any buttons on the screen until I force close the AppMode app, then at that point the Unchained app takes over (Says Connected) and lets me finally control the screen. If I do this in any other order, no sound of the screen cuts out and tells me the cable is not connected. Anyone seeing this type of issue?

Also how in the heck do you re-calibrate the screen size on the AVH-8000NEX? Mine Android screen is off center and bigger than the actual screen size of the LCD. I need to fix that so I can see the notification bar.

I bought this MHL Cable = http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Micro-USB-Compatible-Galaxy/dp/B006V7F380 - Works good on the TV before I installed and ran it to my center console. If anyone thinks this is not a good enough cable and this could be the source of the issue, I am open to suggestions. I have the Micro Female plugged into the back of the head unit using the HTC Power Charging cable that came with my phone.

Thanks folks.

Do you think you will get this to work with the Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS? dont want to pay for the nex and this is the next best thing. i dont want the 5600, well actually i dont know the difference between the two
[Android General] 400ixl:
Unlikely to be on the near horizon. Area51 hasn't as far as I am aware any plans to cover the Mirrorlink units. AppRadio 3 or 4 is probably the better choice.
[Android General] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
Is it possible to move the app radio notification, so that it's in the normal sticky location. So that it won't show up on the lock screen on android lollipop!

Example

I tried simply disabling the notification but this seems to prevent ARU from connecting to my head unit

[Android General] metalcated:
Doesn't work with the 5700, I JUST swapped that deck out for the AVH 8000 NEX.
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
On my s5, I can press and hold the notification for more options, then press the bell for ignore like messages. Doesn't interfere with the app working on my appradio 4
[Android General] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
I think I have something similar on the nexus. I'm going to try seeing it to sensitive.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

My only other question is. I can't consistently get a solid connection to the radio.

Do I need to make ARUnchained a system app? Will that make a difference in it being able to connect to the radio?

MOTO NEKUSASU 6
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
I have the paid arur app, and it is not set as a system app, and I don't really have any issues connecting.

Edited-the tr-7 bit, it was somebody else that mentioned it

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

That tr-7 might be a problem.. Do you get the emergency brake warning when you launch app mode? On my appradio 4 I get the ebrake message the first time I open app mode in a drive cycle. So every time I shut the car off, I have to do it again next time I drive. I used two relays, one off the remote output on the deck to ground the ebrake input, the another to break the ebrake connection when I push a momentary push button that I mounted on the console in the car. So I connect phone to radio, open arur app, press start, get the ebrake message on the radio, push my push button to undo the ebrake, let go and it reconnects ebrake, then I can tap OK on the radio and I'm in app mode. If I don't do the ebrake thing, it will time out and just show the phone's screen on the radio, but I can't do touch controls.

Reason I think its the tr-7 is cause there's no trigger from the radio that outputs when you switch to app mode. I'm not aware of any ebrake bypass that works without a physical switch for these app mode radios, but if I'm wrong I'd be interested to hear what works..
[Android General] 400ixl:
System App is only required to allow the app to switch the mock locations status for GPS injection if you also have that app. It will make no difference to the connection.
[Android General] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
I've been meaning to get the paid version anyway. so I'll be giving that one a try soon!

MOTO NEKUSASU 6
[Android General] metalcated:
I can look into that but I have no issues with the PAC unit. Red to AC+, Black to Ground, White to eBrake Sensor from Head unit, brown to blue remote cable from harness, done and no issues. No wires from the PAC unit should connect to actual car itself. Its just a bypass.

AppRadio 3, Nexus 5 and Unchained - HELP!

Hi everyone! I installed the AppRadio 3 (SPH-DA210) in my car and the AppRadio Unchained and GPS Injector on my Nexus 5.

When I connect the two (using a SlimPort) I can view the phone's screen on the stereo, but I have no touch screen control from the radio (I get a little hand with a red X on the screen when I touch it). What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Android General] 400ixl:
Red X means your bluetooth connection is not working correctly.

Have you set the connection type to Other on the HU, else it will think you are using an Apple device. All in the handbook as part of the basic setup instructions.
[Android General] SaXaPhIDeSoUl:
Is this possible on the app radio 2? I constantly get the red x.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Not needed on the 2. That one means your bluetooth connection is not working properly.
[Android General] GermanGirl:
Thank you all for the quick help! I was wondering whether it's the bluetooth, as I can never get it to connect more than 50%... I did change the connection type to "other" on the HU, but that didn't help. I also tried clearing the cache and data for bluetooth on my Nexus 5 (lollipop 5.0.1), without any success. :(
[Android General] bk73w:
It helps to let the BT connect before you plug in the cord. Wait until you see connected with the red "sync" icon on your notifications. If it doesn't happen within a few minutes, go to ARUnchained>settings/help >how to connect to Bluetooth >open Bluetooth settings> then disconnect, and re-connect from that screen
[Android General] Area51©:
Did you uninstall the Pioneer AppRadio app?
[Android General] metalcated:
I can confirm this helped my issue with the disconnections. However I still get issues where sound stops working and I get random disconnects and until I reboot my phone and power off/on my head unit, which could very well be ROM related. I plan to switch over to CM12 to test and then CM11 to test and see if this makes any differences. [MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION]

Do we know if anyone has had any specific issues with Lollipop (Android L 5.0.x)?
[Android General] bk73w:
Sounds like a cheap MHL cable. Once I got the official htc mhl cable I never got disconnects. Should be same for official samsung mhl adapters, just make sure you have the proper pin configuration. I know samsung tricky.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Cyanogenmod ROMS are well known for having HDMI / MHL type issues. I'd steer clear personally. Test it on the OEM ROM first to see if the issue persists.

Lollipop has worked fine from day 1 for me. You will need to put SELinux is permissive mode if not using ARUR
[Android General] spark001uk:
I've been looking at the F960DAB as a possibility for my next unit, or maybe even the F60, does anyone know if these are AR3 or 4 units?
[Android General] bk73w:
That would be something you can easily Google bud....
[Android General] spark001uk:
[bites tongue]

I've already tried that, and it's unclear, that's why I thought I'd ask here. If that's OK? :)

[/bites tongue]
[Android General] metalcated:
OK, good to know. This is GPE from the HTC One M8 Google Play Edition with some mods and tweaks. they offer some sound mods in Aroma but I opt to install and leave defaults. This ROM also runs in Permissive mode and not Enforced.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Its neither, otherwise it would be called one or the other, and explains why you couldn't find an answer. Given the screen size and the fact it has car play and mirrorlink it would most likely make it more related to the software in the 4 than the 3.
[Android General] spark001uk:
Ah OK, thanks. However that still confuses, as the da120 has car play and mirrorlink, yet they call that appradio 4.?!
[Android General] Area51©:
The software of the AR4 and the NEX series (F960 / F60 is EU version) is based on the same platform, running Android internally also.
[Android General] metalcated:
The disconnects keep happening. Says something along the lines of "Cable has been disconnected, please reconnect." Does this right in the middle of playing music.
[Android General] spark001uk:
So it sounds like either your CM or a dodgy cable?

I've got a Nexus device so I plan to set up with a chromecast, no wires!
[Android General] GermanGirl:
I tried waiting for the bluetooth to fully connect, but it never exceeded 50% connectivity.

Now here's something that entirely confuses me. I did not install the Pioneer AppRadio, but when I go back to the PlayStore it shows as being installed on my phone. I clicked "open" there, and my phone opens up AppRadio Unchained. Is that normal? *confused* :confused:

I'm starting to think it might be Android 5.0.1, as it seems to have general bluetooth connectivity issues. I'm tempted to revert my Nexus 5 back to KitKat as it ran much smoother and had a longer battery life.

Do any of you have experience with AppRadio 3 and Android 4.4.4?
[Android General] Area51©:
I thought you have AppRadio Unchained Reloaded (ARUR) installed, sorry. If you have ARU installed it's normal as that is a modded version of the Pioneer AppRadio app. In that case you can't have both version installed anyway.

Imho there's no need to switch back to KitKat as I don't have an indication that there's any Bluetooth issues with ARUR and Android 5.
[Android General] GermanGirl:
I will look into that and report back. Thank you!
[Android General] 400ixl:
I have been running 5.0.1 from the day it was released on my Nexus 5 and there are no bluetooth issues with it. Battery life is better than Kitkat, its some poorly programmed apps that are killing the battery.

I take it you have got SELinux in permissive mode on Lollipop?
[Android General] GermanGirl:
Thanks for the tip with the SELinux being in permissive mode; I downloaded an app that changed that and the bluetooth is now connecting to my HU. Hooray!

However.... I had uninstalled the original AppRadio Unchained and GPS Injector, and purchased and installed the AppRadio Unchained Reloaded instead. Does that need to be a system app? I set it as such, but it now crashes every single time I attempt to open it.

I booted my phone into safe mode to see if any of the other apps are causing the issue, but when I opened AppRadio Unchained Reloaded then (while set as system app) it crashed just as fast.

So, still no true progress in controlling my phone through the HU... :(
[Android General] Area51©:
How did you make it a system app? If you do it the wrong way it will crash. With the latest version there's no need to move any files around. You can just give it system app rights from the menu by selecting 'System app enable'. It is only necessary to be able to switch Mock locations automatically for injecting GPS data. Also with ARUR it's not necessary to set SELinux in permissive mode. Maybe you should read the ARUR user's manual: http://goo.gl/DcO5v2 ? It describes all these things.
