s6 + pioneer 5700 ? won't work...

Any chance I can get this to work with an s6 and a pioneer 5700?

The problem is that the s6 doesn't have mhl. which means I guess I can try chromcast (which I've read about but don't know exactly how it works in this context), but the 5700 doesn't have an hdmi input, only rca inputs. (phone is rooted btw)

Will this work if I connect chromcast -> hdmi -to-rca converter, connect the rca converter to the back of my 5700?

Are there any guides to dealing with the 5700?

Tried this on my m8, worked flawlessly... but the s6 is my daily phone now, this is driving me nuts
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Are you saying you got an HTC M8 working on the AVH-X5700DAB with ARUR? If so, how was it connected as it shouldn't be able to work. Or you you meen the M8 with the 5700 via the Pioneer App?

In theory, there is no way to get any phone and ARUR working on that HIU, so would be interesting if you did and there may be a way to get the S6 to do the same.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jtg22:
huh... I'm assuming you say no way to get arur working on that head unit because no HDMI input?

I'm using the m8 in mirror link mode. Nothing special. Not rooted. didn't add any programs. When I bought the radio about a year ago, I just turned mirrorlink on on the m8, plugged it n and it worked -- using Android 4.4. Just using an mhl cable.

I know it's bizzare and shouldn't work, but I connect it, it goes into a mirror link screen with the few approved apps I have, I load up the HTC car dock (ultimate dock does this too), and voila, I'm getting screen mirroring. If I exit car dock, I get my htc home screen with my email, whatever.

I'm more than happy to talk about the m8 if you want more info, but my question really is about the s6--- just because the m8 works doesn't mean the s6 will. Specifically, I think the s6 isn't working because Samsung doesn't offer MHL at the usb output. So somehow I have to get video to ARUR. But maybe I'm wrong--- I'm getting a perpetual "listening" message in ARUR, never a "connected" (but perhaps the lack of mhl and the lack of connection are linked?)

If I happen to have the one bizzare combo that gives me stock mirroring with the m8 and that's the best I can do, I may just set up a hotspot and keep it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JLPDA:
...you have touch screen working with your M8 in mirror link mode???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JLPDA:
Since I wasn't happy with the fact that the AppRadio phone dialer screen while call is in process is basically limited to "hang up" or "private" or close/minimize (in which case the audio then goes to the phone) and the phone number keypad isn't available (Press "1" for English), I decided to (once again) speak with Pioneer Product Support. Well, I learned something new today. I'm being told that the full dialer screen with all keypad and other options should be available to me while the handbrake is engaged. Keeping in mind I have the brake bypass (supposedly properly) installed, the tech instructed me to turn my phone's Bluetooth off and not connect HDMI then turn on the AppRadio (AR3, SPH-DA210) with the handbrake engaged (shouldn't matter with the bypass), then go to settings and see if "picture adjustment" is an available option....it was NOT. Picture Adjustment was greyed out (fyi, picture adjustment is available when connected to HDMI). He says that the "Light Green" wire from the HU is not connected!!! So, do I somehow rewire the bypass so it correctly recognizes (fools) the handbrake as engaged? I thought that's what the bypass was doing.

Although I'd really like to minimize the phone screen, keep phone call car audio active, and have full mirrorring (which we know isn't possible), but, if I can at least use the dialpad and call conference features, etc. of the AR dialer that would help quite a bit.

Do other users (with the bypass) have the same experience with the AR dialer? If others have full functionality of the AR dialer, please let me know how you're doing it. Sorry for the long post. Thanx for any assistance.

Somewhat related to the above post, I find it hard to believe that there isn't an app, or someone (ie. area51, LOL) hasn't figured out how to circumvent, or permantely turn on, BT audio to our AppRadios. Hmmm, I'd think there would be a way to do this when the "X" close button is pressed on the AR dialer.

Maybe this helps to figure it out - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...to-bluetooth-headset-non-a2dp-on-android?rq=1
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jtg22:
yes. Works great. And I did nothing to it.

I just assumed that it was a "bug" in android 4.4, so I haven't upgraded to lollipop yet.

No Bluetooth running either, so I can still get calls from my "active" s6. The best part is, the HD radio continues to play even when I'm in mirror link mode (when I connect my s6, mirror link cuts out the HD. In addition to not mirroring anything )

It seems I'm getting the best I can from just using the M8...

and BTW, I have no idea how or why this is working. I'm more than happy to post any specs on the HU or the M8, or post video if you want. I confirmed this morning the m8 is NOT rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jtg22:
I've actually had no problem doing this -- again, ONLY with the m8, running android 4.4.4. ZERO luck with the s6. running a 5700bhs, if that makes any difference.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Ok, that explains why the M8 worked fine. It was ARUR that I was talking about not working, Mirrorlink will work fine with it, but as you know gives very limited access to only a few approved applications.

If the S6 does not also support Mirrorlink then you won't get it to work. Miracast, Chromecast etc will not help you unfortunately.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

I just use an app like Conference Call Dialer which allows you to pre-programme the responses in and dial once for the app. Just have all of the conference numbers for people I need to use saved in the app.

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

Access the Mirrorlink enabled apps is supposed to work out of the box, which explains why it works, it should.

This thread is about full screen mirroring through the ARUR application, giving a far more feature rich experience that mirrorlinking a few apps. Unfortunately the 5700 isn't currently capable of utilising ARUR.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jtg22:
That's the point -- I'm running mirror link on m8 m8, and getting FULL SCREEN mirroring. that's not supposed to work. S6 supports mirrorlink... is there any way to replicate whats going on on the m8 to the s6, either using mirror link or ARUR? again, I'm not limited on y m8 to just a few approved apps, I'm getting full mirror support through mirrorlink with just an mhl cable .. if ARUR can't do with this, I'll just stick with what I have.

sph-da120, htc one mini 2

Hi!

Sorry for my english!

I have a pioneer sph-da120, htc one mini 2 with Ruth rights and your program - arur.

Arur passes all communication procedures and says that the connection is established. but with the head unit, nothing happens.

what could be wrong?

Sincerely, Andrew!

Does that phone even support MHL out? http://xdaforums.com/one-mini-2/help/mhl-htc-one-mini-2-t2831516 suggests it doesn't.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MindProbe:
It would be super awesome if a current FAQ was out there. I'm still having issues (m7,ARHD, 4.4.2,8000nex, Chromecast, Asus adapter, Amazon Firestone, etc. )... All with no luck mirroring display. It's still a nice radio, but I would really love to have the screen mirrored.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jmg2:
I'm able to mirror through mirrolink and usb on an m8 and 5700.

there are a few annoying things--- pioneer insists on putting useless menus around the screen, so I am going to try App radio unchained on my m8.

I'm also going to try a hdmi->rca converter, use a chromcast, and see if I can't finally get my s6 to work --- has *anyone* tried apu with this combo? (s6 + chromcast + head unit that doesn't have hdmi input)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iamjezz:
currently have tasker setup to chromecast and it works 80% of the time, my detection method is bluetooth app radio. it seems if my tasks starts before the app radio is connected it fails then my exit task kicks in. Should i be letting with phone connection to the head unit then run my task and finish it by starting ARU?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
If you mean the warning about driving that you have to OK, then it is firmware and you will not be able to bypass it. If you have a North American firmware and mean the parking brake warnings then you can buy an automated relay to trick the HU into thinking the parking brake is on.

Neither can be resolved by ARUR.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

There are in the first post.

ARHD I assume is the custom ROM. Does it successfully implement MHL out? Far too many of these issues are ROM related. Get it working on the OEM ROM first to prove the capability and then find a custom ROM that you like which also works.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Is the trigger the connection to the Appradio bluetooth, or just it being seen? If the latter, try the former. Maybe just add a 5 second delay as another option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iamjezz:

The trigger is connected to "Mac address" , do you think i would have more luck being seeing the mac address and then running the latter?

assuming my phone will connect to the head unit without ARU running i could turn of ARU auto connect and then after my first task complete set it to start up ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Without knowing what you are doing in what order it will be difficult for people to advise.

What fails 20% of the time, is it the Chromecast being available to cast? The ARUR connection (and therefore not related to Chromecast?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
What app is being launched in step 9?

You are waiting 10 seconds before starting the hotspot, any reason for this? I would be wanting to start that when the ignition first goes on and the Chromecast starts looking for the network it is trying to join.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jmg2:
confirmed that pioneer 5700/s6 + chromecast+ hdmi->rca converter does not work -- it was a hail mary anyway. Either I need a phone with MHL (thanks samsung for REMOVING such a helpful feature) or a HU with hdmi. Niehter of which I'm interested in doing.

So I'm stuck with using my m8 over mirrorlink to do screen mirroring -- which I STILL don't understand why, works (I'm not getting select apps, I'm getting full screen mirroring).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iamjezz:
Step 9 is Chomecast, the reason for the 10 second delay is at one stage if the task is running ARU connects at 75% and fails so i wait till ARU is connected then i run the casting tasks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
I dont believe so
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SWAYD3:
Is there something that will simulate that in the app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] onebyside:
the bypass is to use GPS and or watch video while car is in motion

no the app doesnt cover bypass itself

Didn't think so, OK thanks for clearing that up

8000nex and Note 3

Recently installed arunchained reloaded. Android version is 4.4.2

Rooted with towelroot successfully, installed supersu, Nova Launcher.

Everything worked great initially, but now the HU does not register any touch in appmode.

During the setup, the touch worked at first, and then stopped functioning.

Wondering what steps I need to take to get the touch on the HU working again.

Let me know,

Thnx

or perhaps one of the fixes on the faq for the regular arunchained?

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45768526&postcount=3)

LIke I said im pretty new to this, and am kinda lost at this point in regards to getting the touch functioning.

What i found odd was that upon install of arunchained reloaded, the screen was not sized correctly (fixed by nova launcher)

but the touch worked. Upon the second opening of the program, touch ceased to work (before even installing nova launcher)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Everything seems fine. You should not have to fix anything. In your case the free version won't work anyway.

What status is shown in the main screen of the app? Does it as some point state Connected?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sti_mtl:
I would seemingly connect fine with BT, and the phone/audio would work fine through BT, and arunchained reloaded connect, saying connected 8000nex (just no touch working and the appradio menu icons grayed out)

Just got it working tho! :)

It seems as though the initial BT connection does not work.

Once the HDMI is connected, and then in arunchained reloaded, I hit it the START button in arunchained reloaded. (even tho it says its already connected)

The initial BT connection dissapears.

With the HDMI still plugged in, I then re-establish the BT connection through the HU (on the appradio screen by hitting the BT icon, and re-selecting my phone which is listed but not connected)

The connection establishes, and voila! arunchained functions fully. Full touch control, appradio menu icons on the left hand side no longer grayed out.

I wonder why the initial BT connection does not work, and I must manually re-establish the connection this way, after the hdmi is connected/car is turned on.

Will have to do this everytime :(

There has got to be a way to get the connection working the first shot, or will I have to tell the settings in BT to connect only when the HDMI is plugged in?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RRSpikes:
Checkmark these in settings:

Toggle BT on start

Start/Stop on HDMI connection/dissconnection

Do not switch off BT connection on HDMI disconnection

Plug your phone into HDMI.

Start vehicle.

For me, the above is 100% successful as long as I connect the HDMI before I start my car. If I don't connect to HDMI before starting my car, I'll sometimes (rare but it happens) have to go into the radios settings and connect BT.

Is there a way to get this to work with a Nexus 6? As it does not have HDMI out if I were to use a Chromecast would I be able to control from the Appradio screen or would I have to use the phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _invader_:
I use a Push2TV (PTV3000) with my Nexus 6 to screencast to my AppRadio headunit.

I had this method working with my Nexus 5, but the wireless display would seriously heat my N5 to the point of thermal throttling and it was a serious pain to keep charged (not an issue with the Nexus 6, so far).

While Miracast is not officially supported on the Nexus 6, it's very simple to enable if rooted...only requires adding a single line to your /system/build.prop file:

persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

After you've added the above line, reboot. You should then be able to Miracast to supported devices. I've successfully screencasted to my Samsung TV as well as my Netgear Push2TV unit (which is connected to my AppRadio).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donosaur:
Does this method allow screen presses on appradio or do you have to use the phone to launch apps etc.?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _invader_:
Yes, with ARUR running and connected and the handset screencasting to a Miracast device connected to the headunit, the entire handset is controlled from the headunit...

It's functionally identical to directly cabling the phone to the headunit, with the only difference being the amount of time it takes to boot the Miracast device (around 15-20 seconds) and the additional time it takes for the phone to find the device (another 3-5 seconds) and connect to it to stream audio/video.

I have ARUnchained Reloaded set to start on boot, so it's always waiting for an AppRadio connection. It does exactly what it advertises it should do...connects to the headunit, starts GPS injection, and switches to landscape on the phone.

I have a Tasker task setup to handle enabling screencasting, which works well enough since there's really not a whole lot to do... Starting with the handset unlocked (at the home screen), I start my car and the headunit starts up. I have the Tasker task start on BT connect to the headunit: it waits 22 seconds, opens the WifiDisplaySettings (using the SecureSettings plugin), waits another 3 seconds, and sends dpad down, dpad press, and button back.

Effectively it starts screencasting to the first wireless display that is available in the list (wish stock Android had the ability to flag displays for automatic connections).

If ARUR had the ability (and maybe it does and I just haven't seen it?) to launch activities from Tasker, I'd likely forgo the always listening and have Tasker start/stop the service when it connects to the headunit (to avoid having ARUR running all the time). This would also allow for more complex scenarios (like only starting ARUR if the handset is also charging while connected to the headunit...defaulting to the standard BT streaming if not).

The only thing left for me to do is update Screen Standby to support the N6 (I long ago pulled the source from GitHub and updated it to support the N5 and fixed a lot of file descriptor leaks...probably need to handle some SELinux stuff in Lollipop) and incorporate that into my Tasker task...but that's easy enough and left for a different day.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] crmartin9:
Do you have a copy of your build of Screen Standby for Nexus 5 or could you point me to a link where I could find a working version of this app for Nexus 5?

I'm running AppRadio Unchained Reloaded on my Nexus 5 / SPH-DA210 / PTV3000 set-up and have been quite happy with the results. My only complaint is not being able to turn off the screen to prolong the battery life while casting to the head unit. Thanks very much to the developer for this app. The stability of ARUR has been much improved over ARU and ARU injector that I was running before - I was about throw in the towel on my AppRadio and rip it out of my car when I stumbled across a link announcing the release of ARUR which breathed new life into my system!

So, I've been trying to connect my Nexus 6 with a chromecast to my 7000nex, but every time I do, the screen is completely stretched off the headunit. I generally only see the top left of my android screen on the headunit. Any way to fix this? I've tried using SecondScreen, but it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps i'm using the wrong settings? Every time I try changing the resolution in the secondscreen app, it gives me a message saying these settings can not be saved in order to protect your device. Any help please?

Nexus 5, Stock/Rooted 5.0.1 Connection Issues

I've been searching high and low with no luck, I finally broke down and decided to post here. I got my AppRadio 3 installed last night, purchased ARUR, ran out to the car to try it out, only to see that it won't connect. I'm fairly versed in the Android world, but cannot get this to work. I've ensured that SELinux is set to permissive prior to even installing ARUR, tried the numerous tricks with deleting the BT connection, disconnecting the SlimPort adapter and trying to initiate a connection that way, but still nothing. I will say, the only odd thing I've seen is that on my HU, I cannot select "Other" as the connection type. It's obviously set to iPhone from the factory, but when I touch that option, it tells me (in so many words)

Disconnect HDMI

Disconnect any BT connections

Select App Control (or something similar to that)

I follow those steps, but still am unable to change the preferred connection method. Also, and I'm guessing this has to do with the previous issue, I do not see Andy (either greyed out or green) on top of the App icon "stack" on the HU. When I go to the BT connections on the HU, it says no supported devices are connected, hit search. My device is shown in the background, and I can successfully use the hands free phone function, as well as streaming to BT audio, but Pandora fails.

I would be grateful for any assistance you guys could provide. I'd really love to get this squared away after the fiasco of installing it last night, outside, in mid-20 degree weather. ARUR looks amazing from the videos and tutorials I've watched, I'm very excited to try it out.

Thanks,

ffej

P.S. I would also like to mention; while BT is connected, I plug in my SlimPort adapter, get a message saying something to the effect of "No devices detected, please make sure..." with a settings box or ignore box below it. If I hit ignore, I can see the screen but am met with a pointing hand with a red x next to it when I touch the HU. Thanks again!

I was able to get the App Connection to Other, but now ARUR crashes occasionally: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57592626&postcount=81
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It's not that difficult.

1) Do not connect your phone to the HDMI adapter

2) Make sure BT on your phone is off and there's nothing the AR3 can connect with via BT

3) Remove power from the AR3

4) Repower and go to the settings of the AR3 and Others can be selected.

You should be able to start the wifi hotspot before the 10 second delay, then launch Chromecast at that point.

What step fails 20% of the time?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MindProbe:
FAQ.... I guess I was talking about something more current
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 400ixl:
Nothing has changed, so everything is still current. It works the sae way for Lollipop s it did for Kit Kat.

You need a ROM which can do HDMI out, root, SuperSU and ARUR. You then need a Pioneer HU with an HDMI input with Advanced AppMode for Android. There is then a choice over whether you go fully wired or via Miracast / Chromecast.

Have you done the basic test of connecting your phone to a TV and proving you get the screen mirrored?
