I don't really know any app that interferes with the connection. Only app I know not to trust is "Screen standby". It causes problems with a lot of other apps. Regarding other apps, it should be something related to bluetooth. I assume that you don't have ARLiberator installed as well, that's an app that could interfere.
[Android General] cchant:
Only problem I've had is the cheap mhl adapter causing snow on LTE. I noticed if I disable LTE and use just HSPA+ or 3G then I have absolutely no problems.

Unfortunately I regularly drive through areas with only Edge or even no service in spots and when the phone is switching data speeds it causes it to freak out.

Airplane mode altogether solves it but renders the phone useless for voice calls and Pandora etc so isn't a good solution.

I've been on the hunt for a genuine Samsung or HTC mhl adapter but have turned up empty so far.
[Android General] Mibuix0r:
Well, I got it working. I think it was that I turned off the data upload setting and turned on simple mode in ARU. I also uninstalled some apps but I doubt that did anything. I installed the GPS Injector as a system app and reenabled in the the ARU settings as well and its still working.

What exactly does the data upload setting do?
[Android General] sterod:
If you do end up trying ARU on the AVIC-4000NEX please report back on your findings. I'm holding out on buying an AVIC-8000NEX until someone braver (or richer than me) is able to report back on compatibility.

Do you have a direct link to omega rom v 11 dload .. I followed it but said dloading spots were full try another mirror ... Also are you on stock kernel
[Android General] gatsutaichou:
Please help

Was anyone able to help with this issue? The same exact thing is happening to me. AppRadio2 was working fine until I sent it in for a warranty repair and Pioneer upgraded the firmware. That and I upgraded to KitKat. I suspect that maybe the problem.

Do you have App Sound Mixing Mode set on?

It's under System Menu.

You need to select Low > Mid > or High.

I have no idea, I never messed with that.
[Android General] winn442:
Newbie here....got the 8500 up and running with my Note 3 with ARU with no problems. Use Tasker to start ARU and CarHome Ultra. CHU also launches the phones Hands Free Mode which I like. Problem is when I unplug I have to use Taskkill for CHU, regular Kill App won't kill it. Exiting CHU this way, however, doesn't turn off Hands Free Mode (it turns it off if you exit the app with the exit button). I have gotten out of my car on several occasions and walked into a meeting, where my phone rudely interrupts! It sounds a little anal, I could take two seconds and go in and toggle it off, but is there a way to turn it off with Tasker? I haven't found a way to do it yet.
[Android General] gatsutaichou:
It was already set to Mid and I tried Low and High just for kicks. Any other suggestions?
[Android General] jdpdata:
I assume you meant Car Mode. If so, try ExitCarMode on Play Store. It was design to work with Tasker to kill Car Mode.

I just found it today.
[Android General] winn442:
No, the note 3 has a car mode and a hands free mode. I just tried ExitCarMode, it doesn't kill handsfree
[Android General] chico260:
Which variant of note 3 an are u on stock kernel
[Android General] winn442:
All I did to it was run a program to root phone, that's all I know....4.3 and kernel 3.4.0 I'm new to android....
[Android General] gatsutaichou:
Did some digging and it's definitely the 8.3 firmware. I tried following the instructions from the FAQ below but no luck.

http://appradioforums.com/Thread-FAQ--600
[Android General] winn442:
Figured it out....hands free mode on Note 3 is the same as "driving mode" on older phones, and it's a Samsung specific app, so I used Secure settings as a tasker plugin to kill it on HDMI unplug.
[Android General] Compromise:
ARU keeps asking for permission

Just wondering, but what is happening when I'm not using my phone?

Is this what's causing the injector to become unlicensed? :eek:
[Android General] DarrenMi:
Yeah their thread is a mare for finding download links... have to open several links before getting there.

From here: http://omegadroid.co/samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9005/ you have the option of a link (all download slots are full right now) or a torrent - I think I chose the torrent.

Yes I am on the stock kernel that comes with OmegaROM. I would actually like to try their kernel on another ROM like SweetROM to see if it works, but not sure how....
[Android General] Mibuix0r:
And today its not working again :crying: I don't get it, I made a CWM backup right after I got it working and when it wasnt working this morning I restored it to that backup and still no luck. This thing just hates me, It wont go in to advanced app mode. I almost want to try to upgrade the firmware on the appradio.

Why Does it say AdvancedMode = False in the catlog?

And how come it doesnt ask for root when I started it to make the catlog? https://www.dropbox.com/s/xes4kh5046vjoxt/Screenshot_2014-03-19-15-02-46.png

This can be seen:

03-19 13:03:08.956 D/ARUnchained(15825): Activate GPS service

..

03-19 13:03:21.986 D/ARUnchained(15825): Stop GPS service

This means that it connects but after 13 seconds disconnects already. I don't see anything about bluetooth disconnecting so it is probably disconnecting because of HDMI. This could be because of a low quality MHL adapter / bad HDMI cable. Do you notice snow/black screen issues when mirroring your phone?

Edit:

Analysed the file some more and I see this line:

I/Tvout ( 2195): TvoutSetDefaultString = HDMI not available while application is running. Application will display on phone only

I think this means that you don't get HDMI output somehow. Also I see that the rotation locker is not started which is done on HDMI connection. Assuming you didn't disable it, this means there's no HDMI signal detected by the HU. There might also be an issue with your custom rom regarding HDMI output.
[Android General] dutchronnie:
I try to ask again this question.

There must be somebody who nows the answer.

I want to upgrade to android 4.4.2, but i have to be sure that ARU is stil working.
[Android General] bodieism:
I've never really used the Pioneer app so I guess I was assumed that it too, used mock locations for GPS. I'm with you as far as that goes... if it's possible it would be really nice to have GPS without having to turn on mock locations.
[Android General] zr2ee:
I've always been curious as well how some apps require root access, mock locations etc. but others that are the same don't.
[Android General] drawblood:
.11 not working on stocked rooted 4.1.2 GS3 on AR3.

The calibration screen comes up (white dots). It accepts the touches, then no touches will work after that.

I converted back to .10 until the problem can be fixed...:(
[Android General] stargate125645:
I don't think it was required for the application to work (think how useless most people who use the stock application are with phones), but I could be wrong. Really though the hand-off is the important part. It was messed up on ARL and the developer refused to address it like many of the other bugs.
[Android General] s0uli:
Perfect, thank you Area51! I already downloaded the file and made a short test. The new version work now on my device without permission problems. Really good work and happy that you could change this!

I will try to make a full test at the evening!

Keep on going that good work!

[Android General] Area51©:
I addressed this before already, I think in the other thread but I will try to explain again. It really depends on what you want but if you want any navigation app to be able to work with the radio GPS there's no way around mock locations.

The "Pioneer approved" navigation apps (like Waze) communicate with the AppRadio app by means of the Pioneer SDK. This means they get the GPS info directly from the AppRadio app without going through the android system.

Now in order to get a non approved app working you would have to modify that app to use the Pioneer SDK. As there are many navigation apps out there, this is simply not feasible.

By using mock locations you simply inject the GPS info on android system level which means that any navigation app will work with it. I think this is what most people would want.
[Android General] Area51©:
I think it's not because of using mock locations that it doesn't work well but because of something in ARL.

Anyway we will know soon when I implement it for ARU.

[Android General] tmp_do:

[Android General] bodieism:
I figured it might not be possible / too tedious. I was ready to fill my AppRadio 2 with 357 bullet holes due to mock locations issues with ARL on my S4 so I suppose that's where my bias comes from lol.

That's good to hear. My GPS position was jumping anywhere from 500-1500 ft at a time with ARL, which basically made it useless. I'll be happy with any solution that works :good:
[Android General] Area51©:
Thanks. This will give me some idea what's wrong.

Will check some stuff at home later.

Root access seems fine now but somehow the input device can't be opened.
[Android General] bodieism:
I installed the AppRadio 3 (SPH-DA210) last night and it seems to be working great with my S4 (vzw 4.2.2 Eclipse v2.0) with the following Tasker setup:

I'm going to load another ROM sometime in the next few days that works with Allshare to see if I can make a reliable Tasker profile that will automate the process. It'd be sweet to have full screen mirroring without even having to take the phone out of your pocket.
[Android General] stewbuntu:
Since Tasker doesn't have HDMI as an option yet. I just ordered a few NFC tags to use with NFC tag tasker to auto a few things like loading up ARU. I let you guys know if it's any good compared to tasker, esp with easy of set up. I can't make clones or get it do what I want it to do following those directions for the If-Thens, e.g. no option for screen standby as a task to select under any category.
[Android General] bodieism:
Screen Standby can broadcast an intent that Tasker can pick up so you can actually setup Tasker to recognize when HDMI is connected.

The developer of Screen Standby has directions on how to set it up if you are interested.

Edit: There is also a feature that lets you enable/disable Screen Standby by broadcasting an intent via Tasker:

com.nkahoang.screenstandby.action.ENABLE

com.nkahoang.screenstandby.action.DISABLE
[Android General] zr2ee:
I see the variable you created in your profile to do this but I could never figure out how to implement it into tasker and use MHL connection as a trigger. i'm trying to find it in that link you posted but i'm not seeing it. could you give some more details?

lol never mind I just found it, guess I have a reason to pick up the pro version now.
[Android General] dykast:
So I have my 4000Nex installed. When I can actually get it to come up.(having major connection issues) I am using this cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESM3TTA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is mirrored but it is squished on the right side of the screen with menu bar on on the left side. I just need to take a picture, hard to explain. I put Cynogen 10.2.1 my Verizon S4 on it so its running 4.3 clean.

On the other side of things, I can't get Mirrorlink to work at all.
[Android General] Mibuix0r:
Thank you for all your help. I have the more expensive Samsung MHL adapter and it has worked perfect till this 4.3 rom upgrade. It also still mirrors perfectly just can't use the touchscreen in that advanced app mode. I am going to go get another one at lunch and return it if it doesn't fix it, just in case. If that isn't the problem it looks like I will be trying out a few new roms today :p
[Android General] Area51©:
Weird, if you still get a good picture while mirroring it means your HDMI output is working well. I don't get why that Tvout message is in the logcat.
[Android General] cartisdm:
I'm currently stuck on 4.4.2 right now and can't root my phone until someone cracks it. Will this app be functional at all without root? Anything would be better than the stock appradio app...

EDIT: After reading the thread in more detail, is root even required for the app itself? Or is it only required for the GPS Injector?
[Android General] 400ixl:
It is required for touch capability.
[Android General] cartisdm:
Well crap
[Android General] jdpdata:
You may need to run stock rom on your S4 to get mirroring working, at least that's what I've been reading about Samsung's phones.

Also that cable might be causing you issues. I'd stick with Monoprice HDMI cable with ferrite core.

Post up some pictures when you get it working. I'm very interested in this unit.
[Android General] Mibuix0r:
OK, New rom, new issues. It connects and I can hit the white dots on the screen(on the appradio) to calibrate it. It then does the intro and I cant use the touchscreen on the Appradio but everything else seems normal. ...here is the catlog, lots of errors :rolleyes:

BTW, this catlog is of me just connecting and trying to use the touchscreen. I didnt take one of when I did calibration but I can if you think that would help.
[Android General] dykast:
Called pioneer. They checked and got full screen. I don't know if it's the app, the rom or maybe the cable. I do get fullscreen when i just switch it to HDMI mode so it kinda makes me think it isn't the cable.

Is anyone using Cyanogen mod that has this working? Or, what is the best S4 Verizon rom to get this up and running?

Thanks for the help.
[Android General] Mibuix0r:
You know what, screw it. I'm buying a Note 3 after work :cowboy:
[Android General] sterod:
Thanks for the update, can you tell me if AR Unchained (aside from the squished screen) is working, eg: responding to touches and allowing full access to the phone?

I've got my finger on the button to buy an AVIC-8000NEX depending on your feedback! :good::fingers-crossed:
[Android General] dykast:
Yes it is responding to finger touches "BUT" it isn't working like it should. Like it "thinks" the screen is fullsize when it comes to touching the screen when it isn't. Give me like an hour and I will try and take a picture.

In terms of it working, I would say yes it is working but their are bugs in my case. I don't know if it's phone, rom, cable or even the app. It is too early to tell. I can tell you that I wouldn't hesitate as I know it will work eventually.
[Android General] chucky3:
My tmobile rooted note 3 is working perfectly with arliberator running colonelx-13 kernel. I have a avh8500 HU.
[Android General] dykast:
Ok the picture is horrible but you can see the "menu" on the side I can't get rid of. This is both with CM11 and a basic 4.3 rom on my SGS4 verizon.
[Android General] dykast:
The 8000 has a Capacitive screen which is better then the 4000 restrictive screen. Also these units have better audio options. 13 band EQ, time alignment and can play flac files. I am not sure what advanced app mode is though.
[Android General] chico260:
Kit kat or 4.3 ?
[Android General] chucky3:
Kit kat
[Android General] jdpdata:
WTF is Pioneer thinking! High-end flaships like these units should all have Capacitive screens.

I'm bummed about my 8500 having Resistive screen, but even with the inferior screen, I'd still buy it over the "featureless" AR2/AR3.

You just have to be deliberate with your finger when dealing with Resistive screen. So far I really don't have any complaints about it.
[Android General] sterod:
Cool, I think I'll pull the trigger on buying the AVIC-8000NEX. I'm hoping you get this sorted out! I'll be running mine with a Nexus 5, stock ROM.
[Android General] orpheus1988:

Yeah I tried my N7 2013 too. Works OK but I get black bars on each side and everything is tiny very hard to navigate the menus. Have you figure out how to change DPI when using with appradio?
[Android General] orpheus1988:
Yeah the bars suck a bit, also the soft menu buttons at the bottom taking up that much space and its really crammed up at the top, apart from that works OK once you get the BT connection. But I have to resolve the pairing everytime I want it to reconnect otherwise the app always prompts me to do the BT connection when it is already connected.

General question:How do I know if I connected the (red/yellow) power cables the right way around or should cross them, do the settings immediately get lost once you turn off the engine or does it keep them for a short time even when you connected them the wrong way around.

Wasn't bothered so far by everything being tiny, did you try https: // play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity&hl=en already for dpi changing ?

[Android General] jdpdata:
Read few pages up, someone got a 4000NEX, but it's buggy he says.

I personally would stick to last year's model 8500BHS, which is very similar to 4000NEX.

I have it, and it works flawlessly.

However, both have Resistive screens. That's a major disadvantage for some people.
[Android General] orpheus1988:
Connection works better now and if it doesn't, BT off-on makes it work most of the time. Also got an antenna adapter, resolved the power cable issues and hooked up everything to the amp again.

Is it possible to use the MIX-MODE, i.e. radio audio and for example android navigation on the Appradio 2 or is that a feature of the Appradio 3 or only possible with the stock app?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Mix mode is on the AppRadio 2. Double press the home button when in advanced app mode.
[Android General] dykast:
Responding to my own reply. Ok since someone mentioned the "fix" to get it going full screen everything is good to go. Of course in the process of trying to figure this out I upgraded my rom to the latest stock rom without reading. So now my bootloader is locked! UGG. To me it seems like all of the roms actually work with the G4 verizon using this program. So I have it working great, but now I don't have CM11 and I blew a tweeter:(

ARU connects minutes later ...

hi all,

I got some strange issue, where ARU / AppRadio connects with long delay that takes minutes.

The BT is connected and MHL as well, phone calls work over BT to HU just fine, but touch screen is disabled due to ARU isn't connected.

How I can make AppRadio connect faster?

How to troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks.
[Android General] Fekker:
I have been using ARU for a couple of weeks now on a Galaxy S4 and when it updated to Kit Kat 4.4.2 I lost all touch functions as mentioned by others. I got everything working again today by flashing SlimKat ROM, so it might be an option for others having the no touch problem. :good:
[Android General] Compromise:
So I've been trying a lot of things (such as keeping constant internet), but the injector keeps becoming Unlicensed. I have to convert back and uninstall it every time.. I wonder how to fix this. :(
[Android General] m.a.s.e:
I wish :( sadly my new note 3 is locked bootloader and we can't put custom kernel which seems like the stock 442 kernel blocked touches with aru :(
[Android General] orpheus1988:
Once you do it the right way, stuff just works. ;)

I now have a "strange problem", after successfully connecting, the black ARU splash screen shows and then it shows my devices current screen, like it should, but also a little message box saying Appradio Unchained was closed/has crashed or something like that, also the notification Icon seems to be the stock pinkish circle one, I mean everything (display/touch/sound) works like it should, just found the message sort of irritating.
[Android General] Area51©:
Hard to say what causes that. Somehow the app crashes but the service is still running so that's why it still works. If you can make a logcat (see FAQ on how to do that) I might get a clue what's going on.
[Android General] winn442:
I was torn between the AR3 and the 8500, I went with the 8500 mainly because the Sirius/XM app sucked so bad, and I listen to XM a lot. There is definitely a learning curve involved in swiping the screen successfully, especially while driving. That and having to add a bluetooth GPS unit is it's downfalls. But having the satellite module, SD slot, extra USB for when my wife wants to listen to her Iphone, etc., is worth dealing with the screen. That and I got a "scratch and dent" unit from Crutchfield for $399.

Google Maps

Has anyone managed to get the MAPS working through ARunchained via the HU. All I get is a blank screen with the positioner in the middle of the screen and nothing else happens. If I change to mirroring my device and select MAPS from my apps it works no problems. I have mock locations selected etc so when I'm in app mode but I don't seem to be getting anywhere even though the other navigation apps work like Waze etc?
[Android General] orpheus1988:
I still haven't tried GPS Injection, yet. With internal GPS, Maps works without a problem.

You did install the ARUnchained GPS Injector?

What does the UI Activity say about the GPS service and the GPS Data?

Do you have Wifi/3g/4g active so the app can load the maps ?
[Android General] stargate125645:
Area51,

I asked around on Avic411 since no one here would answer, and it seems that a car's voice activation button, as well as the hang up and answer buttons, work with the AppRadio 3. However, the voice activation button brings up the phone book on the head unit. Is there a way to tell if a button command is sent through the head unit and to the phone? It would be immensely helpful if we could get the voice activation button to bring up Google Now.

Another option would be to provide a setting whereby a different button that does work, such as play/pause, can be chosen to activate Google Now. The steering wheel interface can then just be programmed to do play/pause and the same thing as above is accomplished.
