I know this may not be the right forum but maybe y'all can help me. I got my AR3 today along with a bypass. I want to test and get things setup in my house before the install. I have the radio hooked up to a computer power supply just fine. I have a micro bypass bought on amazon. I have it hooked up to ground, remote line, and the parking break cable.

Since this is not in the car, I took the the parking break wire and the wire from the bypass and grounded it as well. This allowed me to access bluetooth that was grayed out before. But I consistently get the caution video sign when trying to access the app radio part. Sometimes I can get it to work. I cant quite figure out why.

Anything I should be doing differently? Does the remote line need to be grounded or given power for the bypass to work properly? It is just weird that the bluetooth options are available and not the video screen.

You will need a bypass. Grounding doesnt work on newer models. Search Amazon and you shall find one.

Xperia Z1 on SPH-DA210

So i have a Sony Xperia Z1 and the Pioneer SPH-DA210. I have not installed it yet. The pioneer guide says get the MHL cable. However, my phone has a mirror link capability and there is the cd-mu200 cable for mirror link that I can buy as well. I am confused as to which one I need for this latest Sony phone, especially if I want to get the Arunchained working. Thanks for any help on this subject... I just don't want to have to buy both cables to figure it out
[Android General] Area51©:
- Best to get the SP1003 Analogix SlimPort adapter.

- Heavy duty HDMI cable with ferrite cores.

- Micro USB cable for power supply to SlimPort adapter.

- Optionally, hard wired 12V to 5V 1.2A (or more) power supply so you are you will get enough power to charge your phone. The AR 2 can only deliver 0.5A and I am not sure but the AR3 might be able to deliver 1A.

Yes for US models you need a handbrake bypass. For EU models grounding works fine.

Also US models might have a different FM receiver. They can only receive odd frequencies like 100.1, 100.3 etc.

And last but not least shipping is a lot more and you have to pay import tax also.

And what big advantage will I get by getting the AR3 instead of the AR2? The only thing I see is if I get the one with CD/DVD I can tilt the display... (Which actualy might be usefull for me... But is that worth paying around $80 more...?!?! Not sure about that...

Yes, for EU model grounding is fine.

Thank you, I ordered the SP1003 and monoprice hdmi w/ferrite cores. Excited to get this all going.
[Android General] Area51©:
You should not ground the micro bypass output (the connection that goes to the handbrake) as then you will have just grounded which doesn't work. That it doesn't work may be because the way the power supply starts. What might help is to disconnect the remote input from the bypass. Then first power up the power supply (while the AR is connected already) and then connect the remote input from the bypass to the remote output of the AR or to the + 12V of the power supply. You should never ground the remote output of the AR as it's a output and it's never good to short an output.

Wow... Thats a reply I was hoping for...!! :) :)

OK, so I realy need all of those three wires?! I´ll be having more cables in my car than I have in my living room... :laugh:

Is there no way at all to get this done with one cable?! (Hopefully some day without a cable :highfive: )

I have found to guys not to far away from me offering the SPH DA 100 for quite a good price... would you recoment buying the latest 110/210 model? As said befor I dont see such a big advantage apart from the Display Tilt (only in model 210) and the bluetooth streaming... Of course both features would benice... (For me especially the tilt) but as I would have to pay quite a lot more... What would you do?

I´ll give you the of my "thanks" from today in some other post and will think about a donation as well (of course need to try the app first ;) )

But thanks so much in advance for your quick respond :highfive:
[Android General] Area51©:
For ARUnchained you need a MHL cable. Mirrorlink is something completely different and apparently has much more restrictions and lag.

Another Xperia user reported this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47417367&postcount=1377

He had snow issues which were solved by getting the Sony MHL adapter.
[Android General] shaxs:
I gave it power instead of ground and it works fine. Question though. Is there ANYway to exit AppMode and go to the AppRadio home screen using hardware buttons? I could only do it if I killed bluetooth or opened ARU and pressed the back key.

Oh I also just bought the GPS injector. The settings key does not work for me. When I click it on my LG G2 the menu disappears and it goes right back to the default screen.
[Android General] DizzC:
Double click on the home button, then click on the grid of four squares that pops up. That should get you back to the Home Screen. :good:
[Android General] shaxs:
You rock thanks!
[Android General] Area51©:
I would get the SPH-DA110 (AR3). A2DP can be useful sometimes on short trips when you don't want to connect the cable. Also it seems possible to do voice commands. Though it's not sure that it works well. People have reported various levels of success. I haven't tried that yet as my SPH-DA110 is assigned to desk duty for development purposes. My SPH-DA100 (AR2) is in my convertible car that I don't drive during winter. When I compare I would rather have the AR3 as it's a bit more versatile.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
in ur case make sure u install the latest HU firmware as they released a fix specific for the sony experia phones
[Android General] Area51©:
Not sure that you really need this as the release notes mention this: "Adds MirrorLink support for Sony Xperia devices". For ARU you won't use MirrorLink.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
In that case u absolutely right.my apologIes for any confusion made.

lol. only a month ago but seems years :)

im here, just took a small step back to dedicate to the family and focus on regular work and projects etc :) i will def be helping u with new versions and whenever u need just like old times :) hope all is well with you as well !!!
[Android General] Area51©:
Yes I am fine too. Just not working much on ARU right now. There's some minor issues to fix but it's not that urgent so I can finally have a holiday break. Also got my new car last week so need some time to play with that. It's a plugin hybrid electric vehicle and it has lots of toys. Including a navigation entertainment system but it's a bit slow compared to a fast phone and an AR. I won't be replacing it though as it's nicely integrated with the hybrid system, to show all kind of info and status stuff.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
aww, nice man !!!! enjoy ur new "Gift" ! i totaly agree ARU is def in production state. u def deserve the time off to be with ur fam and holiday etc. if u were in the US i would come help u install everything in ur car :) enjoy the new car, that is very exciting !!!!! congrats !

[Android General] ibe2fly:
just wanna say thank again ... i paid $40 for arliberator before this came out ... with the gs4 ar didn't work ... i've also added an allshare cast dongle to my setup for wireless connection and it works like a champ this is actually more stable than arliberator was with regards to connection to the HU and touch support ... i'm currently running HyperDrive RS 12 ... wondering if anyone else is running this ROM or has a similar situation ... i'm running stock launcher but when it turns landscape some of the screen is cut off ... if i run with Apex Launcher ... the problem doesn't happen ... this isn't an AppRadio thing but just mentioning it for full disclosure ... its a launcher thing i'm sure ... everything else is great!!
[Android General] mha1021:
The Problem is TouchwIz Launcher.... with samsung galaxy s3 the launcher works fine in landscape but with Note 2, Note 3 and S4 the launcher doesn't work in Landscape. I have Samsung Note 3 and same thing happens to me. Touchwiz is the default launcher in my phone and whenever i connect my phone to Appradio i use Nova launcher.
[Android General] bodieism:
You wouldn't happen to have One Two Dim mode turned on would you? That's probably not it, but figured it might be worth mentioning. If that mode is a activated it will temporarily turn the screen back on every time you touch the screen.
[Android General] jasoncwms:
No, I do not have that turned on. However, I have seen some people say that after they turned that on, it did work. But for me it did not work at all. Some other Nexus 5 owners said the app didn't work for them either on the Screen Standby thread, and even a recent post today says it didn't even save battery life for them.

For the time being, I probably won't worry about it.

HTC One w/ AVH-X8500BHS Working Well!

Hey Guys - I've been snooping on this thread for a while before and after I got my AVH-X8500BHS installed in my Kia Soul. Just wanted to chime in to say that so far with AR Unchained everything is working perfectly! I may have to plug/unplug the MHL adapter or re-do the Bluetooth connection every now and again, but really nothing too bad. It usually just syncs right up and works well. Here's a run-down of my setup if anyone is curious:

Phone:

AT&T HTC One Unlocked and S-OFF

ROM:

Android Revolution HD 6.0 Google Play Edition

Kernel:

ElementalX GPe 11.3 Kernel (for Fastcharge and various tweaks).

Headunit:

Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS

MHL Adapter:

Cable Matters Micro-USB to HDMI MHL Adapter

AR Unchained is always running, which so far doesn't seem to effect my battery life or anything. Never had to force-close or anything to get it to work, almost always immediately connects to AppRadio. I've also got Screen Standby set to automatically turn on when I connect to MHL, which works fairly well so far, I just have to manually do it if I have to turn the screen back on to fix/do something.

The only sort of weird thing I have noticed (which I just noticed today) is that my One is randomly dropping service I only noticed it while connected to AppRadio, but I'm really not sure if it's an appradio/MHL/etc thing or just my One being dumb (I'm currently on AIO and I've had some weird service connectivity issues with them anyways). I'm going to be doing some more investigating on it and I'll be sure to let you guys know if it is isolated to being connected to AppRadio/MHL.
[Android General] ibe2fly:
thank for the reply! ... I found something yesterday that I forgot to try on the way to work this morning .... hopefully I'll remember on my way home / in my driveway ... in HyperDrive there's a per app DPI setting ... perhaps I can key off a rotation event and update the DPI ... again this is all hypothetical I haven't used the per app DPI setting ever ... I'll update tonight on my results. I really don't care for Touchwiz at all ... I actually really like Apex ... but i'm in love with the touchwiz weather widget lol .. as a last resort I can run 2 launchers ... and just manually activate Apex when using AppRadio

Can tasker be used to kill and start ARU? I tried just killing the app using root, but it comes back which I guess is probably a function of the services running in the background.
[Android General] bodieism:
Yes. I made a Tasker widget that shuts the app down completely and then restarts it in case I ever have connection issues. Then I just tap the widget and it reconnects. What plugin did you use to kill ARU? You might need to choose a different kill method.

Edit: Link to plugin I use.

I use the extreme setting and it works great anytime I have a problem (very rarely). So far it's worked 100% of the time for getting ARU to connect after a failed connection. I also toggle bluetooth with the widget.

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 AM ----------

I should also add that I use an app called bluetooth auto connect so that the entire process requires no interaction on my part other than clicking the widget.

losing connection

Been using ARU since inception and besides a few user errors here and there have never had a problem. Lately I have been losing connection all together, screen goes "snowy/dark" all data from phone stops, it keeps doing this for a few minutes then it will be fine for awhile. not sure if it's losing bluetooth connection or mhl connection.

Galaxy Note II, rooted

ARU 1.5
[Android General] Kaczman:
I also am having some problems. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with a 4.3 rom. When I first installed, it worked great for a day or two.

Now when I try to connect, bluetooth gets to 75%, then it says failed every time. But when I click bluetooth on the radio, the check box is checked... but APUnchained isnt colored. Then I try disabling bluetooth, enabling bluetooth, resetting the phone, unplugging it and plugging it back in, nothing. I can no longer get it to reconnect. I even deleted the pairing on the radio and the phone and tried again... nothing.

Any suggestions?
[Android General] cwalkin:
So this is how those with a Note 3 have it connected to their AR3 correct? HU > HDMI Cable > MHL Adapter > Note 3

I'm still hearing conflicting info about the use of the 5 to 11 pin adapter along with OEM Samsung MHL for the Note 3. Some here have said you don't need the 5 to 11 pin, and others have said you do. Also, does the Micro usb 2.0 connection lose contact in the micro usb 3.0 slot, or is that what the 5 to 11 pin cable is for??

For the Note 3 and AppRadio 3 should it be HU > HDMI Cable > MHL Adapter > 5 to 11 pin adapter > Note 3
[Android General] 400ixl:
Note 3 uses an 11 pin connector, so you will need to either use an 5-11 pin converter, or even better just use a genuine Samsung MHL 2.0 11 pin adapter.

I also wouldn't use the USB cable off of the HU for the power source as typically it doesn't provide enough power to charge the phone as well as run it.
[Android General] cwalkin:
Also, I've read that there are two versions of the official Samsung MHL 2.0 Adapter:

ET-H10FAUWESTA - (US version and designed for Quad-core phone)

ET-H10FAUWESTE - (UK version and designed for the octa-core phone I9500)

Can anyone confirm this?

I ordered directly from Samsung the ET-H10FAUWESTA, which is listed on the box. But the part number on the adapter is ET-H10FAUWESTE. Should I return it for exchange?

When I get that I hit ignore. Then you get the screen with the red hand. If you just keep tapping on the hu screen aru will kick in after 4-5 taps
[Android General] kingoanklebreakn:
I'm using stock. Maybe that's why. Tapping the screen didn't seem to help because ARU always says disconnected right after that. I may need to switch kernels
[Android General] 400ixl:
As you are in the US have you both got the Pandora app installed. This is required, even if you don't use it.

what cables do I need for pioneer avh-x8500bhs?

Im about to purchase a pioneer avh-x8500bhs and download ARU to my galaxy s3 once I get it rooted (still gotta figure out how to do that). My question is once I get the HU installed, phone rooted and Aru ibstalled what cables do I need. I see alot of talk about people uding the OEM samsung 5 to 11 pin adaptor but why is this needed. The mhl to hdmi adaptor outputs the hdmi signal and is powered by the micro usb cable, so when and why is the samsung 5 to 11 pin adaptor needed?

[Android General] AllenConder:
I'm trying to learn Tasker and now my head hurts. I'm trying to make my Bluetooth shut off on start up, then wait for "x" amount of time, then turn on after ARU starts up.

I have a Probox2 (Uhost2) rk3066 stick that I have booting cold with my car. The Bluetooth connects almost every time, but ARU loads on boot and stays in "Ready To Connect". A simple toggle of my bluetooh connects the 2 and everything works. So you can see how Tasker* can help me. Any ideas/tips?

Almost exactly what I needed. I ended up making my own but it got me started

I didn't know the Bluetooth was under "Net" and kept trying "Bluetooth Settings" and it obviously isn't what I needed

Event - System - On boot

Action: Net - Bluetooth - Set off

Action: Task - Wait - 30 Seconds

Action: Net - Bluetooth - Set on

I'll test it and report back!
[Android General] bodieism:
You might want to add a wait action to the beginning of that profile. The developer of Tasker recommends at least a 5 second wait when using the on boot event iirc.

http://bit.ly/1d9bkCG

Not that I'm aware of, but I never really looked into it since I don't have any backseats. Perhaps a HDMI splitter would work on the AR3, but if you are going with the x8500 then you probably don't have to worry about that.
[Android General] Kaczman:
It appears the only way I can get it to connect is to uninstall AR Unchained and reinstall it. It will connect the first and ONLY time.

Any way I can get the settings you use for bluetooth auto connect and tasker?
[Android General] bodieism:
See the attachment below for my profile. I had to save it as a txt document so that I could upload it here. You will need to change the file extension to .xml then save it under profiles under the Tasker folder. I only use this when ARU fails to connect on it's on, which is very rare. You will need this app for it to work and this app for the auto reconnect. You might need to play around with the profile a bit to get it to your liking. The wait actions may not be needed and I have it set to return to homescreen 2 (the one I use for ARU) so you might want to remove or change that as well.

Hi

Is it just me, that cant see what you are gaining by using a tasker setup?? When you turn on your APPRADIO, it will prompt you for an answer, will you continue to do BT connection or not!!

If you instead press on the android icon on main screen and those ignore, you can see that the stick/phone are performing the boot sequence and if you touch the screen when it is finish, you will probably get the hand with the red mark on but 2-4 sec after it will have done the BT connection and you are up and running. This is the same procudure if you want BT connection to an ordinary phone and at the same time use the HDMI stick solution.

I hope root is 100% working. i can set chmod 777 things via root terminal emulator and all other software are also working. So i hope and guess root is working but sure is a other thing ;)

Attached the catlog file and i hope it will help you to check whats wrong....

One more.... On screen there will be the info that ARU is try to make chmod 666 to /dev/uinput and after a while the info came on screen that ARU has ended. But the app is still running and after a while i get the infos again from above..... maybe root!?!?!

I already reroot with cfroot and also reinstalled supersu 3 times manually! Still the same!!!!

UPDATE.... Stupid question but could it be that the Pioneer car keyboard needs to be installed so that there will be no crash!?!?! I installed it now and i get now no crashes. Interesting..... Anyway... i will go now downstairs to my car to make some tests and come back soon.....

UPDATE 2.... I was in the car now and ARU did not really connect. Also the stupid error that the app crashed is also back and it was only a mistake from me. So Area51 when you have time and can check my log i would be very happy ;)

By the way... i will make a donation now because i´m sure it will run soon also on my device and i´m happy to have a second app like ARL!

I have been able to achieve WIRELESS screen and audio mirroring with my AppRadio!

I just connected my adapter to the HDMI input and powered it via USB then used the wireless display feature in the phone to connect.

I am using tasker to force landscape and manage screen timeout etc etc.

This is all really awesome but there is one major caveat, the display will mirror but I can not interact with it through the head unit. Anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks for your donation.

I checked your log. It might still be root. There's an error somewhere in my code also that causes the crash but I think that would only happen when root access fails somehow.

To check, can you open a terminal and then do the following:

su

chmod 666 /dev/uinput

ls -l /dev/uinput

This should then show something like:

crw-rw-rw- system bluetooth 10, 223 2013-09-28 14:58 uinput

There's really no need to install CarKeyBoard.
