I agree with m.a.s.e. Donate now if possible you will feel better and the developer totally deserves it. It's a great app and really unleashed the potential of Appradio.

And go listen to this because it's the GOT DAMN BOMB! ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lnse9eCo_I

I'm actually using it on the AR2, the problem I ran into was that when I got the Note 3 ARLiberator was having major issues connecting and just happened upon this one today. So far so good it doesn't appear to auto connect I have to tap on the Android icon and check mark the bluetooth and then it works every time. Which is still far better than I got with ARL, and being one of the first beta testers for that app and now being left out pretty much sucks. Gunna look through some posts to see if I can find a solution to my minor problem but again excited so far!

Check out tasker and screen standby. Screen standly currently have an issue with Samsung and 4.3 but the dev just literally now posted the fix. with these apps u can automate everything. Upon connection detection to start BT clear connection establish new one etc etc etc etc

Everything.

That's what I use. Zero connection issues
[Android General] BIGSIKE3:
Yep I sent the dev my txt log for my N3 and he confirmed the fix will work I think that should be out tomorrow so slowly but surely we're getting there. :)
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
It's out now:)
[Android General] BIGSIKE3:
Really where? on the play store? or in the his thread?

Edit: I found it! Gunna go check now! :)

Well that couldn't have gone any worse Screenstandy appeared to act the same way it did before the fix and for the life of me I couldn't get Unchained to connect again after that. I think I'm having bluetooth issues tho it seems my phone isn't connecting automatically to the radio even without the apps. I need to look into more tomorrow, but I need to straighten that out first.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
Oh man. I'm so sorry:( I have yet to test the Fix he posted in the screen standby thread..... Hope u got ur phone back on

I have an HTC One running the latest InsertCoin ROM. I am running the latest ARU. It works great for a while, and then I just get the snow and eventually it fails completely. This can happen when my car isn't moving and nothing bumps the MHL adapter or cables. I can't see any pattern to the problem. Sometimes it happens 30 minutes into my drive, sometimes 30 seconds. I want to provide usable data, but not sure how to do that with the apparent randomness of the issue. Any help or suggestions on how to provide more usable info is welcome. Thanks!
[Android General] Area51©:
Snow is a hardware related problem. It can't be fixed by changing anything to ARU.

screen resolution

Using aru with samsung s4 and pioneer avic z150bh. works but sometimes the sequences/process of getting aru to work is different. sometimes requires the app to be opened on the phone first. other times the hu will fire up the app. long and short of it, it works. my question is the screen resolution: i lose screen real estate. the the screen is full but because of the resolution about 15% of the bottom of the screen is cut off. Is there a workaround to get this corrected on my end?

thanks.
[Android General] Area51©:
I would say this can't be fixed because it's all hardware related. Phone creates HDMI signal through MHL adapter. HDMI signal is processed and scaled by HU. None of this can be influenced by software that can be controlled by us.

When you use the unmodded Pioneer AppRadio app, do you have the same problem?
[Android General] lpasq:
As for BT connection sequence ...an unfortunate byproduct of various phones and varied BT stacks combined with ROM/kernel combos and different HDMI connection methods. These variables along with whatever processes are running on phone at time of HU request for BT mirror handshake is the issue. No fix other than falling into a ROM/kernel and connection routine that is more consistent. Anyway...that is my N4 experience this past year with ARL and now ARU. If i am wrong, someone please educate me. Thank you
[Android General] cayvman:
Not sure. I'll check and post later. Thanks for the quick answer/response.

You are welcome. You can donate using paypal by clicking on the donate button.However the first page will show in Dutch ( I guess because I am registered there).

Two solutions:

1) In another browser window logon to Paypal first. Then press the "DONATE TO ME" button here.

2) At "Donatiebedrag" enter the amount in US$ you want to donate, at "LOG IN OP PAYPAL" enter your logon details. After logon the language will change to your local language.

Hey Area51!!

So I was looking on Freaktab today and found that Finless Bob has updated the Rom for the mk908.. I saw it was now 1.6a and one of the updates was for the the USB Touch.. So I decided to try it..

Guess what, it works great!! I was able to connect to my App Radio AND touch WORKED!!!! Completely..

Unfortunately since the only version of ARU is 0.11 for the Sticks I am currently using my modded ARL app.

One thing I found odd and I am not sure why is that Car Home Ultra has issues with the ROM and Stick, then I could not install Pandora, then I could but the Car home app crashes. I am not going to redo the ROM on it yet, I am hoping you will have a newer app soon that allows for the HDMI Stick.

Anyway I am making head way on it atleast
[Android General] basmand:
HI

What version of ARL are you running that works on stick, and is there a chance that it will be released, I am not so good to programming that I can change ARL to work on my stick, so hopefully we will have a version off ARU013 or newer that do the job on stick??

Steeringwheel control

Hi, does anyone know if i can get the swc to work on my volvo S60, the Steeringwheel just has volume and track back/forward.

Thanks
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
3.01 ARL I modded it with Area51's instructions and it work pretty well
[Android General] Area51©:
Version 0.13 supports this.

Do you have an adapter installed? The HU has a SWC input according to Pioneer's specification. In general this is not compatible with any SWCs built in your car. There are adapters available that can convert the SWC signals from a specific car to Pioneer SWC input. That's what you need.

Here's some more info: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...-Avic-install-Phase-one...-Need-some-guidance

As I understand the SWC signals are sent over the CAN bus and need to be converted to signals that the radio supports.

U will need an adapter. PAC audio swi PS works flawlessly with the ar3 and also support Bluetooth buttons (version 1.8)
[Android General] Area51©:
Quite well. I got a basic version working yesterday. It's a separate app that gets the GPS data through the pioneer SDK and then injects it on system level via mock locations. Tomtom and Google maps got the GPS data and showed the correct location on the map. I didn't do any driving with it yet because I was testing it with my AR3 that's assigned for desk use but I am confident it will work.

Things left to do:

- Make it more robust by catching some more errors.

- Hack the AppRadio app a bit more so I don't have to use the Waze SDK key.

- Make some provisions for autostarting the app when connecting to the HU.

- Add a status screen to the app so you can see it's working.

- See how to put it in the play store.

Regarding SWC adapters, double check that it will work for your car before ordering.
[Android General] Area51©:
Not sure if that one will work because Volvo uses the CAN bus to send the SWC data.
[Android General] basmand:
Hi

Thanks for your answer, I will stay on ARU011 stick version until new version are ready.

PS!! Just noted that my problem with mobile hotspot on and off connection on stick seams to be power related, when stick on 220 volt no problem with signal strength and connection from my Samsung S4, but in car on USB power all the troubles begins!!

[Android General] lpasq:
Hi Area51.

Are you considering addressing the following hard button behavior or leaving it as is?

When mirroring Android, and using Pioneer volume buttons, the volume level graphic appears on top of the Pioneer clock/time graphic partially visible...along with part of the Mix Mode bar at bottom too.

The use of volume buttons in Android mirror mode looks to be in conjunction with Mix Mode media source controls. I guess so that volume buttons function. In non mirroring modes the Mix Mode and clock/time do not float below the volume meter graphic.

If others wish to duplicate, play with the volume buttons in all the various display modes by double pressing the Pioneer physical home bottom and adjust volume in all the different display scenarios to see when the clock/time and Mix Mode are tied to toggling volume.

Cheers
[Android General] antvuur:
Hi, i was advised to get the Axxess Metra ASWC-1, is this the some as your adapter?

What i cant find yet is the connection on the back of the HU, do the adapters plug into the sw hole on the back? It looks like a headphone jack but smaller.

Thanks for the info.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
if he is also buying an adapter to connect built in car stereo to after market stereo (like MITO-02) he can use the SWI%PS to make is work.

http://www.amazon.com/SWI-PS-Steeri...690&sr=8-2&keywords=pac+swi+ps#productDetails

the SWI&PS works flawlessly only with Pioneer and Sony radio's . He can even use the built in car cables spliced from the original harness...

but if he will tell us the year of the volvo he got i can also post a link to the adapter to keep all original cables the same with adding an adapter to make the appraido work....

if he already got the appradio 3 connected in his car then the SWI&PS will make is work (almost 99% sure - of course i could be wrong ) :)

[Android General] Area51©:
It would be best to get the wiring diagram of that Volvo S60 from 2001. Then I would be able to see if it's CAN bus or just simple resistors.

Ok, found some wiring diagrams here: http://www.volvowiringdiagrams.com/?dir=volvo/S60 Wiring Diagrams

From that I read that it's all CAN bus, 2001 S60 and 2006 S60. So I guess Axxess might work but better check with Axxess first.

This is NOT ARU issue !!!

I got MHL from monoprice

This is for Samsung S3 and S4 that comes with 11 pin microUSB connector, also all cables are connected - so you don't need any cables.

It impacts GPS signal and network, but those work

this is where good part stops

the bad - constant black outs and snow, so I have to push "Mode" on HU to go back to Radio input and back to App to get video feed for a min or two only.

I've waited for local BestBuy to restock Samsung MHL 2.0 white.

The pioneer MHL with Samsung 5-11 didn't work for me as I got the same black outs - I think that 5-11 is the issue in this case.

My quest for reliable MHL continues, so far it's just distraction instead of useful Appradio.
[Android General] texbuck:
That's exactly where it plugs in. I think Pioneer calls it remote in their literature, but sw does stand for steering wheel....
[Android General] -=Jeff=-:
SO when do you think you will have an Updated Stick version? I am looking forward to getting my android stick fully working in my car..

Last think I have now is getting a battery between it and a power source in the car
[Android General] Area51©:
I will do that right after the GPS implementation is finished which I expect to be done in about a week.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think I can not change that because volume stuff is all handled by the HU directly so it would be in the HU firmware.

Soft rebbot

Hello

Maybe someone report this but can't found it on all the posts. I have a Root HTC ONE with Google edition official rom 4.3. I can't tell if this come with the ARU 1.3 or with the OTA JWR66Y, but from now when I get the Bluetooth connection, then I connect the Cable true an Official pioneer MHL everything work fine. But after like 3 to 5 min I got a "soft" reboot of my phone... After the reboot the phone is stable and works fine.

Where is the log tool that you had at the beginning ?

Thanks

Seems that the hardware volume buttons, when mirroring, control volume as coded through Mix Mode. When in AppRadio app mode and in an Android app or the AppRadio itself, volume control shows the volume meter clean (without pulling up part of the Mix Mode interface.

Thank you very much for sharing this with the community.

I just gave this v3 a quick 2 minute test, I will do more when i get time in the car soon. So far my quick review on my Appradio 2 with z1

App connection is excellent:good: I plugged mhl cable in and out multiple times and it connected with touch control every single time.

all buttons worked Home button volume etc, including my steering wheel controls on the car,

Anyone having snow issues there is an easy fix, change your network mode to 3G only ;)
[Android General] Area51©:
Made some progress today. I hacked the SDK key checking process so that I can now generate my own keys.

This means that I can now make an app myself with any name I like and register it with the Pioneer SDK so

that it appears to be a Pioneer approved app.

Things left to do:

- Make it more robust by catching some more errors.

- Hack the AppRadio app a bit more so I don't have to use the Waze SDK key.

- Make some provisions for autostarting the app when connecting to the HU.

- Add a status screen to the app so you can see it's working.

- See how to put it in the play store.

Also ARU seems to be really taking off now: there's 855 downloads of the latest release.

Was just about to open my big mouth too soon and say everything was great and out of nowhere I can no longer connect. It's worked perfect the last two days and was sure it was going to be all good but this morning I couldn't connect at all. I uninstalled re installed tried different builds you name it. The last thing I was doing was testing a fix for Sceenstandby but I took that out of the process. The phone connects via BT every time but ARU will not connect no matter what I do. I just don't understand what could have gone wrong.

Do you have an AR3? Don't forget to set the connection setting to Others instead of Iphone.

I got bitten by that quite a few times as I have an AR3 for development connected to a power supply.

It's not connected to a battery and won't remember the settings so I have to set it every time I power the AR3.

You have an AR2, then you will have that setting only if you upgraded to the latest firmware.

Does this apk also work with the Pioneer AVICZ150BH? I talked to a local installer who told me not to mess with Appradio because it's junk. He's been doing this a long time so I figured he is familiar with all of the head units. He said the AVICZ150BH is top of the line and he wouldn't touch the Appradio stuff. Does this beta apk make it worth a shot with Appradio?
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
You can check the OP, theres a link to a survey, you can check there if someone tested with the AVICZ150BH. the AppRadio 3 along with this app is the best thing that ever happened to car stereo.... No need to EVER upgrade the head unit again... As long as i keep upgrading my phone root it and install ARU :)
[Android General] BIGSIKE3:
Oh I didn't upgrade the firmware on the AR2 in a long long time. I just can't figure out what I did to make it stop all if a sudden. Maybe something with Screenstandby? I don't know :/
[Android General] hoops129:
Didn't see the it listed, but if Appradio works the way it is supposed to it sounds like I should go with Appradio3. I have a rooted Galaxy S4, but I was thinking about switching to an iPhone. But this would make me change my mind. Where can I find a list of usage faq like how long it takes to connect from the time you plug in the HDMI (does bluetooth auto connect after initial setup)? And does the stock keyboard appear on the head unit or do you need to use a special keyboard app on your phone to use the head unit keyboard? I have many more, but I'm assuming these questions have been answered somewhere.

I just got a new car and started searching for a new head because the factory one is pretty lousy. So any help is appreciated.
[Android General] lpasq:
"Junk"...well I guess that is a matter of opinion based on your need. If you know how to root and flash Android phones, want the equivalent of a fully functioning 7" tablet in your dash, and enjoy keeping up with puzzle of evolving mirroring app hacks ....then a Pioneer hu with the AppRadio App Mode is not junk but a rare beast. If you want a killer audiophile radio with all the bells and whistles and don't care to fully interface your phone, then you have many better choices that simple Bluetooth connect the usual stuff.
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
1. I am on rooted SG4 with liquidsmooth ROM and it works awesome !!.

2. There is no specific list, just the comments in this thread.

3. for fast connection on initial setup forbid the appradio to read ur contact list, that is the main factor for slow initial connection. if you have a lot of contacts that is, if not. the most u will wait will be 15-30 secconds which is really logical.

4. the failure rate for ARU to connect is 0.01%

5. BT auto connects, thats how the HU is designed it will always try to auto connect and if it cant a pop up will come asking u to try or ignore (if u hadnt turned on BT on ur phone).

6. Stock keyboard will appear, no need for 3rd party keyboard (anymore thanks to area51).

7. Yup, most of the questions were already answered at some point, do a search in this thread most likely u will find the answer to a new question. and if not, were here to help :) Enjoy !

Hi all... ...a reminder.... the dev has over 800 downloads of current pre beta. At worst, if everyone downloaded twice, that is over 400 users. Odds are it is closer to 700+ users. If you are using the app and have not completed the survey linked in the OP, please do so newbies thinking of buying a Pioneer with AppRadio App Mode can confirm if the HU model number they are considering is working with ARU.

Hi Area51... ...a dev request.... what would it take for you to consider a project after ARU goes beta? Specifically, the ability for phone dialer hack that circumvents Pioneer lock that disables dialer key presses while in call?
