You may want to try ARU Reloaded. It has an option to start connection on HDMI detection and also an option to toggle bluetooth for improved connection success. Basically this saves you from messing around with tasker.

You can still join the beta by donating 20$. It's going to be released very soon, then it will be 10$ more and directly available from the Playstore.

The MK809III is a stick that is cheap (mine was 40$) and works well.

AVIC-F60DAB - Sony Xperia Z2

Hello from Paris (France),

I am French so I hope you will understand me.

I made a test this morning on a AVIC-F60DAB using my Xperia Z2 with ARL Unchained with a basic MHL cable including mini USB.

View of my tel has been working

I can click on the icons but I got a terrible problem of calibration when I tried to click on my app icons.

I tried to calibrate it with the head unit, respecting the size of my tel but it did not give me the possibility to calibrate correctly.

In conclusion, my click on the screen were not going at the same place if you understand me but the good news is that the touch control is transmitted by ARL Unchained but I see a serious problem of calibration here.

I am want to be sure that all is working well before to buy the unit and I am looking for a unit having a GPS in case I loose signal from my tel

My tel configuration (root)

Sony Xperia Z2

Firmware 4.4.2

Build 17.1.2.A.0.314

If it is not possible, I am ready to buy a Samsung S4 to continue my tests as I think it can come from the tel itself.

Last question if someone can hekp me

Where can I have find the list of the recent unit working well ?

I agree to donate to show I am serious here

Usually, I am always ready to help when I can but since I am a beguinner for such issue, for the moment, guys

I will come obly for questions :)

Hope someone will help

Keep strong until then,

Cheers

The question is whether all of that goes to the phone, which I do not believe it does since MHL requires an external power source to function. The 4.5W is to the MHL adapter per the wording. Wikipedia explicitly states later on that power given to the connected device is 500mA, which I believe is in line with USB power delivery when it is a data state (versus charge state). My experience with Samsung is more in line with the 500mA unless you have a fastcharge kernel, or somehow something isn't following specifications. Maybe Samsung's use of 11 pins to allow USB OTG screwed up some capability. You are implicitly using a data connection when sending picture and sound out of your USB port, so it would make sense for the limit to be 500mA. However, MHL 2.0 sends 900mA to the device, so there is apparently a way around it. If you can figure out why you are getting enough current to charge your device despite using MHL 1.0, that'd be great for many, many people! Your experience is not the norm from countless other posters on here, myself included, so that's why I think something else is going on that is not standard.
[Android General] leobg:
I left with the impression 900mA is the pass thru current, don't get me wrong I'm not saying I am right you're wrong or anything like that - I am just trying to find reasonable explanation of why my phone gets charged with this particular MHL adapter and not with others given everything else in the setup is the same. If anyone would be following standards, I think it would be much more Pioneer than all those Chinese knock-offs...

For Samsung phones - the only (and likely last) Samsung made phone I have is the Galaxy Nexus. And - yes - it definitely needs hacked kernel to achieve AC charging. It always charges, or should I rather say discharges, in USB mode when plugged to MHL regardless of what MHL adapter is used or power source is applied. Not sure about newer Samsungs with 11 pin connectors - isn't MHL 2.0 the 11 pin thing Samsung does with their newer phones actually?

I guess everytime i saw someone talking about reloaded i thought it was unchained. I guess I'll keep an eye out on this or donate soon. Thank you.
[Android General] klaariskees:
It seems that you have to change X/Y coördinates, maybe this will be solved when you have your phone in landscape mode.

When you don't succeed, try ARU Reloaded. With that app, you have a setting that can invert X/Y axis permanent for you. When you want to use the app, look over here:

I am using an Android stick with my appradio and it works fine. However, as the android stick does not have a built in GPS receiver, does this mean that GPS injector will not work?
[Android General] NicoK249:
Hey guys,

my Samsung S4 (GT-I9505) is rooted with a custom Kernel, Stock 4.4.2. ROM and KNOX warranty void 0x1. Hence, my MHL connection is gone. I do not know if there is any chance to reset the status to official in order to make MHL work. Therefore, I have plans to switch to the Samsung S5. Does the S5 work with AppRadio Unchained? Can I root it with TowelRoot without tripping KNOX?

Other than that, I am interested in the Sony Z3. Does this smartphone work with AppRadio Unchained?

Thank you very much in advance!

Regards,

Nico

I love the design of the new one. 0.8 inch difference isn't big deal for me. Ability to play USB recorded a/v media is golden! Having Apple CarPlay is great as my wife has an iPhone. And if Pioneer updates the unit to support Android Auto once it is official, it will be perfect!

ARU no control

Hi there, I have ARU installed on my Google Nexus 5. Mirroring is working fine and I can play audio from Spotify. The only thing I cant seem to do is control the phone from the touch screen on the head unit, is this possible? When I first connected the phone, I went through what looked like a screen touch calibration by touching white areas on the head unit screen.

Ive checked and the BT settings seem to be fine. Can anyone help please? Thank you
[Android General] 400ixl:
You need to have rooted your Nexus 5 and given ARU Super User privileges for touch control to work.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

There is no difference in the way you need to get the S4 working than there is an S5. Both need Knox disabling and SELinux in permissive mode once rooted with ARU granted Super User privileges. The Z3 doesn't have Knox and SELinus is already permissive in the current version.
[Android General] redjoe100:
Thanks, can you point me to the best "how to" to root the Nexus 5? Thanks
[Android General] 400ixl:
I find the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit the most reliable and its pretty easy to use. http://www.wugfresh.com/
[Android General] Area51©:
It will work. The goal of the GPS injector is to get the GPS data from the HU (AR2 or AR3) and inject it as mock locations so it can be used by any app. If you didn't buy it yet you might consider donating 20$ to join Reloaded beta that has built in GPS injector and is completely Pioneer-less. I am just saying this so you won't complain later.
[Android General] uberNoobZA:
Thanks for the reply. The reason I asked is because I read somewhere that if your Android device did not have it's own GPS chip, it would not accept location data. I guess I read wrong.

I'm already on the beta (I'm the same guy that wrote the guides and made the youtube video the last couple of days :D ) on my main Google account, and using ARUR on my Nexus 5 without any issues.

Currently my Android stick is running on a different Google account to my phone, as I wanted to leave the Android stick in my car permanently connected to the head unit, and obviously didn't want to use my main Google account on it. Therefore I don't have access to the ARUR beta on the Google account I used for the Android stick, so currently am using ARU and separate ARU GPS Injector. I also wanted to ensure my guides were correct :D
[Android General] Area51©:
Right. Difficult for me to know who is who, so I gave up on trying that. Anyway if you want to have ARUR on your Android stick, just pm or email me your other gmail account. I will add that to the beta also. You would then still have to purchase the license for the minimum price though which is 50p for you I think.
[Android General] rescueswimmer:
Could use some diagnosis help, If any of you have run into these issues. Running a VZ rooted note 3 w/app radio 3 DA210

1st. Do I need the Pioneer mirror link cable, or am I good to go with just the HDMI cable and the Samsung 2.0 MHL adaptor? (reasons to follow)

2. Trying to rule out a bad head unit. When I first got the unit installed my setup is HDMI/samsung MHL 2.0 and powered USB cable from the USB from the radio. The ARU app would connect sometimes and other times it would not. I had issues with a stock S3 and the pioneer app, I would constantly get on the note3 HDMI connected/disconnected every few seconds then then ARU would load and be stable and run fine. Then I'd get back in the car after stopping and it would not link. Bluetooth would connect but the app would not start. My screen would mirror but no touch screen from the head unit.

I replaced the MHL adaptor with a new one, NO connected/disconnected HDMI messages, but the app will not load. So I ordered a new USB cable, and an HDMI/wEthernet (it was cheaper) Replaced both of those to rule out bad cables. I'm now getting the USB has been powered down from the head unit to protect it from damage message. This is displayed on the head unit. Does an HDMI/W Ethernet do something. Or is something else going crazy. Any feedback would be helpful as this is driving me nuts.

On a side not does anybody know if the nex4000 has an external GPS antenna like the appradio3 does?
[Android General] RedRider2053:
Before anyone else grumbles about you not looking through the thread, I'll save them the trouble...

I had the same issue with my Verizon Note 2 (no touch screen input). The issue isn't your equipment, it's your phone. Specifically, Samsung's version of Android OS. Doesn't matter if you have root access, what is required is to replace the boot loader with another kernel: one that leaves SELinux status set to permissive. Unfortunately, at least on my phone with 4.4.2 OTA update applied, changing the kernel is not currently possible. Not sure about the Note 3... but after 6 hours of researching, I have given up and am going the android stick route... $50 beats buying a new phone, and there's the side benefit of not having to plug my phone in every time I get in the car.

Hope that helps. This is a REALLY long thread, and I don't blame you for not going through the whole thing like I did.
[Android General] rescueswimmer:
Thanks for the reply. It works sometimes others it does not. Example Im driving to the store with the phone plugged in and bam it pops up works great until I disconnect and try again? I guess I'll look into the stick method as well. have you found one that is working well.
[Android General] Area51©:
If it works sometimes it isn't the SELinux permissive problem because in that case it would never work.
[Android General] redjoe100:
Thank you its working now and the GPS injector too! I want to connect a reversing camera, how will the camera be switched/displayed when the phone is connected...is there a way to manually switch or do i have to connect to the reverse light? Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
It's a RTFM question. Anyway, you can select the camera from the HU screen (there's an icon for it) and there's also an input for the reverse light switch. That input overrules anything and shows the camera input when reverse is selected. When reverse is not selected anymore it will show what was on before. It would be very inconvenient to not use that input.
[Android General] redjoe100:
Ok so when the phone is connected how do I get back to the headunit home screen to press the camera button? So far the only way I've figured is to disconnect the phone
[Android General] NicoK249:
Thank you very much for your reply! So, that means (I'm still a newbie to that subject), the Z3 Kernel is already ready for AppRadio Unchained and there is no root neccessary? That means, I can get the phone and instantly use it with the App?

Is there any tutorial how to setup the S5 with AppRadio Unchained without killing the KNOX flag? It seems as if I ruined my S4 due to flashing for AppRadio and I do not want to waste such huge amout of money if I can't get the S5 right. So, can I just root it with Towel Root and use the S5 with ARU?

Thank you in advance once again. I am asking since I could not find proper documentation.
[Android General] 400ixl:
Go into the ARU app and use the home button.
[Android General] Area51©:
No, you still need to root it. However you don't need to set SELinux in a permissive state.

I think it's not possible to root without killing the KNOX flag.

I think if you find the right ROM you can get your S4 to work with MHL. There are loads of people that have a rooted S4 without KNOX that works with MHL.

Rooting is not part of this thread as it is different for each phone and a subject in itself. So there's no generic procedure that will work for every phone. There's many other threads that describe how to root your specific phone. Just need to search for it.
[Android General] 400ixl:
To try to answer the questions in order.

No, you still need root on the Z3. It is just that SELinux permissions won't block you.

Not sure what you mean by "without killing the Knox Flag"? You need to disable Knox and put SELinux into permissive mode.

Again, No, I don't believe Towelroot disables Knox and sets SELinux to permissive.

You either need to go to the handset specific section of XDA and find the relevant information / method or seek someone who can hands on help you understand how to correctly root your phone. Some network providers have locked the bootloader on Samsung phones which means you cannot get them to work with ARU and touch.

Most likely that your S4 can be revived with the correct recovery method.

[Android General] RedRider2053:
Works great meaning you have full touchscreen of your phone's interface (outside of waze and other appradio apps)? Agreed, that would mean SELinux is not your issue. But I think you mean the mirroring of the screen works, you just can't use the touchscreen, right?

For stick stuff, I ordered this on Amazon. The one review is from an ARUnchained user, says it's plug and play and works fine. I'm prepared to root if that's required.

Here's the thread that talks about using sticks instead. Sucks about the Samsung/SELinux/ARUnchained phone incompatibility, but I like that S-pen too much to switch to non-Samsung brand. I'll probably still get a Note 4, even if they lock the boot loader down and keep SELinux enforced.
[Android General] buck0:
Have You tried to double tap the menu button on the head unit? It brings up a box that let's You go to the main screen itd the radio
[Android General] rescueswimmer:
No Sometimes ARU will boot up I get the MHL connection image and then it connects. I have full control of touch ect from the HU to control the phone. So like others have said the SElinux is not the issue unless its a random issue. but I can plug the phone in and bam it works. Then I plug it in sometimes and drive for 15 minutes and it will just connect out of the blue and it works for how ever long I have to drive before I disconnect. So I ordered the same stick last night. I'll let you know how it works out.
[Android General] Area51©:
What might help is to know how the connection process works. ARU works as a server, listening for a connection that is initiated by the HU that acts as a client. This is how it is designed by Pioneer. If the HU does not initiate a connection, then ARU can't force it to do so. There are two ways the HU can be "helped". One is when the HU discovers a new BT connection it will also try to connect in AppRadio mode. This is why it helps to toggle BT on your phone from on to off and then to on again.

The second one is to tap the HU screen once or twice when the phone is mirrored on the screen already. The HU will then "discover" there's no connection and besides giving you the finger will also try to initiate a BT connection. If you are not in AppRadio mode already, you can hit the apps icon (it's highlighted when a valid HDMI signal is detected) and then select ignore for the BT connection.
[Android General] rescueswimmer:
Your a Genius!

It would mirror everytime but never load ARU, So I did what you said. I hit the android guy and it would go to the mirror screen and I would touch it but get the finger, I would disconnect Bluetooth touch the screen and the HU would beep, Turn on BT and poof every time it would connect. Next question the donation version does this work with the sticks. I just ordered the mk809III, my phone just kept dying with the limited time I had it working. Also do I need an MHL adaptor for the sticks to make it work or just plug it in the HDMI cable. Thanks again.
[Android General] redjoe100:
Ok thanks I'll try that but now I have a new problem....After rooting my Nexus 5 yesterday I managed to get it all working. This was after granting super user permissions for ARU. I tried to connect the phone today but only the mirroring is working now (not the touch control). I've tried to toggle the BT connection as suggested above but that doesn't seem to kick start it. The phone no longer asks for SU permissions and I looked in the SU permissions list but there are no apps listed. Can anyone help here? Thanks
[Android General] dperez0426:
Has any one encounter a pioneer loop boot? i was finally able to have my GS5 to work but every time open APUnchained and go to the Dot calibration it seems to get stuck in a loop. i have tried to pretty much do everything. i'm running cyanogenmod with Permissive. i did read someone had a similar problem but didn't see the solution.

i would appreciate any suggestions. thanks again.
[Android General] RedRider2053:
Everything I read says it works with the mk809III, which is why I ordered it... I believe that's what Area51 uses himself. MHL not required, it has direct HDMI cable output. So you can return the MHL adapter like I will once I confirm the stick route is the way I'm going to go.
[Android General] Area51©:
Nah, just spent too much time than is good for me messing with this stuff.

Donation version works with sticks. It also has that Toggle BT as an option so that when a connection is made it will do that trick automatically for you.

A HDMI Android stick has HDMI out by itself. You just might need a HDMI Female/Female Coupler to get your existing HDMI cable and stick connected.

That was an ancient post. What do you mean stuck in a loop? You can't finish calibration?
[Android General] 400ixl:
Go into settings and check the default action is set to [Prompt]. Maybe try changing it to allow temporarily to see if that works. If it does, it may be worth doing a clean up and uninstall, then re-installing at starting the SU process again.
[Android General] dperez0426:
Once I go in the dot screen calibration its starts the pioneer introduction but never ends. Its keeps replaying over and over.

[Android General] redjoe100:
Thanks, after an uninstall and reinstall SU permissions granted and it seems to be ok now. Im still stuck with the other problem of not being able to get back to the HU home screen to touch the camera button, the only way I can get back there is to unplug the cable from the phone. If i press the HU home button once it just takes my phone to the home screen. If I press it twice I get the on screen display at the bottom but thats just for playing media or turning the display off. Am I missing something? Thanks
[Android General] Area51©:
I never heard about this before. Not saying it can't happen but nobody reported it yet.
[Android General] dperez0426:
So far what i noticed is that once it connected i go to the calibration every single time, once i calibrate it the music plays with the pioneer introduction. but once its in that loop i'm able to hit my phone's home button and it mirrors my phone with 100% screen control on my HU. the only problem is that my music stops and plays just like the pioneer introduction. I have forced closed ARU and played my music with no issue.

Now If i open the ARU app and hit my home button and then go back to ARU it seems to stop the loop but all i get is a black screen. I have tried to install ARU with an older version but in all of them i get the same issue.
[Android General] Area51©:
Some people also had the issue that they had to calibrate every time. This version fixes that: arunchained0.16a.apk

It may work for you too. If you calibrated once, it won't ask you again.
[Android General] Area51©:
To go back, you have to open the ARU/Pioneer app (where it shows the original Pioneer app screen) and then press home. Then it will go back to the HU home screen.

As you have the AR2 pressing the home button twice won't allow you to go to the HU home screen. This only works with the AR3.

If you donate enough (20$), you can also have access to the ARU Reloaded Beta. It's a standalone dedicated app that doesn't include any of the Pioneer stuff. It will be released soon and is currently being tested by 170+ people.

It will definitely not have that video playback problem as it doesn't have any nonsense stuff included.
