No, AppRadio 4 is, but the 2790BT is not related to the AppRadio 4 as that has the HDMI connectivity. No one supports USB Mirrorlink in any other way than the standard OEM method.

hi! I have xperia z1 compact with android 5.02, to me are necessary root for the arur installation?
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes you always need root access to be able to inject touch and key events on system level.

MHL is the issue, not ARU

hi,

to save your time, make sure your phone has gps signal with plain TV before you troubleshoot appradio and ARU

this took me a while ... hope you learn from it

I tried another S3 AT&T phone with stock ROM and got the same exact issue.

This how MHL cuts GPS signal video

And this is Samsung MHL from samsung com
[Android General] jimmietilt:
Thats the command i was using but i had to put in a wait of 20 seconds, seems to connect automatically most of the time.....the delay varies but most of the time its probably like one second... Very happy so far, have streamed videos with success....one issue is that you cant be connected to wifi and use it...i am a cable guy and my company has wifi on the poles so normally my phone would connect to them as i drove but now i cant have that because it will interfere with allshare....no biggie cuz i have unlimited data but whatevssss......so much better then mhl which i got alot of snow from
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Hi, thank you for your reply :)

would you please be kind enough to make a short video showing the delay lag?

it is the only thing stopping me from putting $ on the allshare...

the PTV3000 was a bust, i would like to see the lag prior to buying :) Please, pretty please :)

I dont like that service iether, buy the way Waze gps works on the HU but not navfree, if i turn the gps off navfree says 'no GPS'.
[Android General] nfaust01:
Yep that is Samsung for you. Mine does exactly the same thing. Can't wait until the nexus 5 is on pre order. Should be any day now. Hopefully once area has mock GPS working it will solve the GPS issue with Samsung.

Hey guys, I threw a quick app together that might benefit those of us using the appradio. Its a simple hud that shows a speedometer and music track info. So, if you have a spare android device laying around and want to check it out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498068

If Area51 wants to incorporate something like this into AppRadio Unchained, I'll happily share the source code.

[Android General] stargate125645:
Hiatus for a bit? Damn! I was hoping to get GPS working so I'm up to full strength again. Phone-side GPS is a pain. I guess I'll have to use the built-in Google Maps version.

Edit: I didn't mean for that to come off ungrateful sounding...I thank you for the hard work so far! This is leaps and bounds better than ARL at the moment.

Is this working on Xperia Z?

I plan to buy a ar3 many many thks,

Pd. can someone make a video and show as was working and what not??
[Android General] mikek753:
ShadeZero,

Would you mind to provide details about your setup? Please.

1. what MHL adapter? is it Pioneer 5 pin MHL or etc

2. what S3 phone ROM (url, pls), is it Samsung kernel based? Or how the ROM got Samsung HDMI drivers?

3. Car HU unit? AR2, AR3, x8500, etc

if not to the forum reply, pls send me private message.

This GPS loss drives me crazy.

Only good part of it that isn't ARU related.

However, can ARU re enable GPS and other sensors that were killed by MHL connection?

Samsung said that to keep battery drain limited all sensors "killed" as no need for TV watching video. Why do you need GPS inside to watch movie?

They decided for us what we need and don't.

I can provide logcat in another reply.

thanks.
[Android General] FingerBlastJ:
New Update: So i uninstalled and reinstalled SS and got the screen to turn off. Once i did that, i lost gps signal. When i uninstalled again, GPS was back online while connected to MHL. SS for some reason kills gps, does anyone know of a similar app that does the same thing but doesnt kill gps?

So i received the 11 pin extension so i can keep the genuine samsung mhl hidden behind the unit. It didnt work for me even though it did for someone else in this forum. But they are sending me out 2 more wires in different lengths to test it out for them. They are a pleasure to deal with so dont fear if you decide to go that route.

Also, this is the first time i took apart the dash myself and plugged the mhl and hdmi cable to the unit and phone.

All i can say is the genuine mhl 2.0 from Samsung is FLAWLESS!!!

Not one hiccup, not one spec of snow, the audio seems better and the gps and overall connectivity doesnt have any issue any more either.

The only problem i did run into is that i have SS installed on the phone and hdmi detect checked/on. It launches car home ultra phone like i instructed it to, but it doesnt turn off the screen and im still trying to figure out why?????

Im gonna try to uninstall and reinstall SS and see if that works or if it starts to ruin my gps and data signals.

I will keep everyone posted.

P.S. Im on S3 4.1.2 MOAR 5.0.1

Hi all

Been inactive for awhile ;). Last time I was here I was looking for mods for me LG G2X. I'm back and very excited about this new Pioneer Appradio 3 that I have been researching. Looks really cool. I just upgraded my cell phone to the new LG G2 and ordered the Appradio 3 for my car. Looking forward to seeing what XDA can do with this wonderful radio.

HDMI connection problem

Good day!

I use SONY XPERIA ARC S with HDMI connector.

Installed the program ARUnchained.

Connect to a smartphone with a Bluetooth Appradio3 (Pioneer SPH-DA110). The connection is fine.

After starting the program ARUnchained AppRadio screen is calibrated. At this time, I can control the smartphone with Appradio3 (press OK on the message appears). After the calibration run my smartphone with Appradio3 not possible.

How to solve this problem?

I apologize for my knowledge of English.

P.S. Another smartphone sony xperia SP (MHL connector) is working with the program without problems ARUnchained (controlled from the screen AppRadio3)

Hi there. Im going to swap my note3 for xperia z3c device, but i heard that there is a problem with sony phones if you unlock bootloader (mhl dont work anymore becouse of security reasons) just want to confirm if thats a true or false?

If yes, is there any fix for that?

Im worried becouse if i will buy z3c now it will probably run on lollipop now, and i will be forced to root it some way to work with arunchained relpaded.

Thanks for any help.
[Android General] 400ixl:
You will have to root it for it to work with ARUR regardless of what version of Android the Z3C is running.

As for unlocking the bootloader stopping HDMI, not something I heard of but maybe check with owners in the forum section for that phone http://xdaforums.com/z3
[Android General] docquinton:
Anyone that uses this app like I do, do you have to wait until Bluetooth connection is made before you connect HDMI? I do and I wonder if ARUR fixes this. Don't want to blindly purchase the app if it has the same result.
[Android General] AgentJz:
I do not have to wait with just ARU and LG Rom 4.4.2.
[Android General] esmenikmatixx:
theres a setting in arur to toggle bt off/on when you press start, not sure if that setting is there on the free version (i assume thats what youre using)

with my s5 and now G4, it doesnt matter what connects first
[Android General] docquinton:
If ARUR is completely automated, that is enough to make me purchase it. On a LG G3 running Lollipop 5.1 and the free app, if I connect the HDMI before Bluetooth, the connection will continually fail and try again for at least 45s. Waiting until after Bluetooth connects results in about 95% successful connection.
[Android General] Area51©:
With ARUR there's also a 48 hours trial period. If it doesn't work as you want, email the order number within 48 hours and I will give you a refund.

Somebody have the same problems like me? and how i fix?

When i try to use Pioneer AppRadio works and calibrate perfectly in Cataclysm Lollipop Nexus 5.

But when i try use AppRadio Unchained Mod, i cant use. Because when i try to calibrate, and touch in the first or second point says "Try to Connect".

Just now after using my RK3288 for a couple of weeks, I wonder why I tried for weeks to get rid of connection issues with my HTC One M7

The stick has Android 4.4.4, is using ARU and it takes about a minute to get ready to use.

All needed apps are on the stick and an external USB stick keeps my music.

It was a little tricky teach the AppRadio to use both connections:

One M7 for phone calls

and the Stick for touch functionality.

For online functionality, I use Tasker to open a Tethering connection on my M7, when the BT connection is established to the AppRadio. The stick connects at startup and has a stable connection.

One single bug observed: Here maps does not give any sound output. I tried anything to get the navigation voice commands to the speaker, but nothing worked for me.

Navigon and Google maps are working fine.

Updates for the stick are easy for me, because I got home WIFI in my parking lot so I´m able to keep the stick updated, without getting it out of the car.

I have a stable connection over hours of traveling without snow... and that´s all I need.

First tests with a RK3188 worked too, but it took ~2 minutes to get touch working, so I decided to buy a newer RK3288.

This man is a GENIUS! He has solved the cursed A2DP "connected (no media)" problem. See below:

The following tweak has fixed the issue for me:

I altered the /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file. They're pretty minor alterations but I've been able to successfully auto-connect to both my Tunelink A2DP adapter and my vehicle's hands free system. My streaming audio is clear and voice communication has so far been garble/robot free.

Specifically, I have changed the following settings:

Master=True

Autoconnect=true

HFP=True

FastConnectable=True

If you are rooted and would like to flash the the audio.conf that I'm using, here is a link.

ARUnchained and Verizon Note II running 4.4.2

Gentlemen,

I currently have a Verizon Galaxy Note II running Android 4.4.2 Stock Rom and rooted. Bootloader locked of course.

In my vehicle I have an Alpine ICS-X7HD which supports MirrorLink.

I was using a modified DriveLink found on this forum to enjoy full mirror on my Alpine until I updated the Note II to 4.4.2. DriveLink no longer works and doesn't appear that it ever will. I have decided to ditch the Alpine and go with a Pioneer AppRadio. I have a line on a SPH-DA100 at a good deal. I have read through most of this forum and believe this combination of phone and head unit will work.

Any input on my assumptions?

What additional equipment will I need?

Thanks in advance.

I am looking at using this unit (Pioneer AVH-X2750BT) with S4.

Does Appradio unchained reloaded work with USB connection to radio? I dont think X2750BT has MHL/HDMI.

Thanks

Awesome, thank you for the help. sorry for the late reply. Haven't had a whole lot of time to play around with it, since the car is off getting some custom suspension work done.

Turn by Turn Audio

I have an appradio 2 and since I got my S6 I found out I couldn't connect it using MHL. I came across this thread and saw a post from krytikul talking about the ScreenBeam Mini2 so I went out and purchased it. For the most part it works, I do get audio glitches every once in a while but I also find my ATT S6 that's still on 5.0.2 kind of laggy and slow so I will figure that out later.

My issue is with turn by turn directions while playing music. When my phone is not mirroring and the sound is coming out of the phones speakers the audio directions will lower the music volume so that I can hear them. I also tried using Cast Screen with a chromecast and it also works the same way. For some reason with the ScreenBeam Mini2 it does not lower the music volume so it's hard to hear the directions since it kind of gets lost in the music playing. I have tried it with a combination of TomTom and Google maps with rdio and Google play music and they all have the same issue. It will happen when connected to a TV or the appradio.

I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anyone else mentioning this and I was wondering if anyone else noticed it. I upgraded the ScreenBeam to the latest version 5.3.4.0, my phone is not rooted and I am not using AR Unchained.

Thanks for the help
[Android General] Mati24:
I have a Z3c, I had the bootloader unlocked when it was the only way to root it, and I had no problem with MHL and ARU. Now I have a second Z3c (because I broke the first...), and you can root it without unlock the bootloader, and again, no problem.

Hey guys, a quick question, slightly off topic. I just upgraded from a da100 to a da210 for the sake of Bluetooth A2DP streaming.

I been trying to connect an old 5th gen iPod Nano to the AR3 using the 13pin USB cable that comes with the AR2, then the standard apple 30pin connector to that. Now the Radio is detecting the iPod, displaying all the song data, also play pause, with changing tracks, but I'm not getting any Sound. Iv tried everything I can think of. I thought maybe it's a bad cable, but then it wouldn't be able to display all the song info either.

Any suggestions?

Tried sonething similar with same results way back.
[Android General] f575gtc:
So I am kinda stuck here, I got the radio to work fine the first time , but it seems like when it reconnected it is doing what it wants.

I have an Lg G3 running ARU paid on a Pioneer SPH-DA120 using Slimport Usb to HDM and connecting through Bluetooth as well.

I can't get the radio to give me a full screen of the phone, I either get a menu on the left like this and it lets me control the phone from the touch screen, but it cuts a chunk of valuable real estate off the screen

Or if I click on the down arrow and select HDMI I get this which is full screen, but I cant click on anything it just gives me the full/zoom/normal button, but it is strictly a screen mirror I can do anything on the phone from the radios screen

What setting do I have wrong? Also anyone know how to force the radio to go through the phone setup again where it asks me to move the yellow line to the edge of the screen I want to view like in the initial setup.

Im basically trying to get it to look like this in this video

I will get a little drain depending on what apps are running. I run a lot, dash command full time using bluetooth.

[Android General] knives of ice:
coming from the Nexus 6 thread hoping someone here has dealt with similar issues. with a nexus 6 my only option to connect is via chromecast.

i have setup and resetup this chromecast 10x or more now. factory resetting it many times. i have tried TWO different chromecasts now and the same thing keeps happening with each one

this is a picture of what i constantly get:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zBYWywXsAdb1BJRjVxNkdlLXc/view?usp=sharing

basically, i go through the chromecast setup process and then the chromecast connects but can't get on the internet. i have no idea why. any other device i use to make sure the hotspot is working can connect to the internet no problem.

i've tried with security on my hotspot and without. doesn't make any difference.

- yes, i know i have to use a 3rd device to setup the chromecast with the hotspot. hotspot (my phone's lte), another phone (connected to wifi via hotspot) and my appradio hooked up to chromecast. i can get through setup no problem, then it will not connect again.

any ideas?

i've used my appradio for years now flawlessly with mhl. not being able to use it is driving me insane tonight been struggling for hours trying everything i can think of

ARU with Pioneer AVH-4100NEX and HTC M9

Planning to purchase ARU soon to use with Pioneer AVH-4100NEX, but I don't want to cut into my 48 hour refund grace period until I'm sure I have all the correct cables. Phone is HTC One M9. Coming from long time Samsung, I have 2 different MHL adapters.

Micro-USB input / HDMI Only output

Micro-USB input / splits into 1 x HDMI output & 1 x standard USB output (this one came in a Pioneer Android connection kit)

Hopefully it's one of these I'll need to get up & running? Does ARU need only HDMI or does it also need connection to Pioneer's USB2 port? Thanks!

I'm starting back at square one today trying to figure this out. Here is what i do in the initial setup process is there anything wrong?

turn on car with chromecast plugged in and appradio unchained running.

ARU connects and i can see the chromecast setup screen

i turn on wifi hotspot on my nexus 6 and connect my galaxy mega to the hotspot. i then run the setup process on the mega and complete chromecast setup.

NOW - here is the thing, if i leave my mega on i can send casts to the chromecast no problem from my mega.

once i turn my car off and remove the mega from the mix so that only my N6 is the hotspot i get the no internet connection message. WHY? am i doing something wrong in the setup process here?

So after months of no connectivity due to upgrading to lollipop and not being able to install the app, I finally have arunchained back on my phone. Now I'm having problems with getting the app to connect using my HTC m7. Some days it connects, other days it doesn't.

When I connect, I turn on BT, wait for the phone to connect to the HU, then plug the cable in. Anything that I'm doing wrong here? I've had my Appradio2 for 2 years now and never had problems. I used to use version 14 of the app, but I get the "unable to parse" error. Now I'm running version 16.
[Android General] AgentJz:
I have to plug in my g3 immediately when the my 210 comes on, when I plug into hdmi ARU launches and I connect every time. If I wait to plug in I have to go into settings on my 210 and disconnect the Bluetooth connecting to my phone, then reconnect while phone is plugged in.

My appradio unchained will not let me use touch screen (everything else is fine). If I go back to the appradio app from the playstore everything works but then i'm super limited to which apps I can use >.< I do have appradio 4 (sph-da120).. Is that my issue?
[Android General] sjorge3442:
This used to work for me. If the connection didnt pickup immediately, I could simple toggle BT and it would connect.

Now, with using version 16, getting the phone to connect is hit or miss, mostly miss. I even setup a tasker profile to cycle the BT and launch ARUnchained automatically when the HDMI is plugged in, but that isnt working either. I wish I could find an earlier version of the app since those worked better for me in the past. If someone could confirm that the $30 pay for app works 100% of the time with their HTC M7 running Lollipop, I will buy the app. I just dont want to waste $30 if it doesnt solve my issues.

Can you send me the APK that you are using? I spent over 2 hours last night sitting in my car trying to get it to work. I was able to try AR16,15,and14, and during the 2 hour period, I could only get it to connect once. Its so annoying. The worst part is, this damn radio is a judging factor on which phone I buy next. I want a Note, but the lack of rooting options make it less than ideal.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Have you rooted the phone and given the ARU app SU permissions. You will also need to have SELinux in permissive mode.
