Actually what is tries to do is to disable screencasting but on Samsung that doesn't work. On non-Samsung phones when the phone's cast screen is shown, nothing happens automatically. So then the configured adapter (identified by the name configured in the settings) is clicked on by the GUI automation to start casting. When the Bluetooth connection to the head unit stops, the phone's cast screen is shown again to be able to stop screencasting.

What happens with Samsung devices is that whenever the cast screen is shown it will by itself automatically connect to any device that is available. Which is not that bad when you're not casting yet. However when there's multiple devices shown there's no control to which one to connect.

When the BT connection to the head unit stops and the cast screen is brought up and the screencast connection was already gone it will try to connect again to something because of Samsung's autoconnect. In case of Samsung device it would probably be best to not try to disconnect since it won't work and the connection will be gone anyway when the car is shut off.

I just launch screencast manually with the quick dropdown on android and then launch AR-Radio with manual connection and bluetooth toggle option enabled. Then I press Start in your program and tap the screen of my AppRadio. When I'm done I just shut off the car and switch to your app and press Stop. Works perfectly.

Is there no way to upgrade from the old Arunchained App? Or get a 50% Refund of the original app after buying the new one?

I really loved my Appradio (but got it replaced with a cheap native Android Radio, since i can´t root my S7). Now i found out about the vootles variant, but if I buy this one i spent about 50€ for software, just as much as the radio cost me :(

Did anybody uploaded a video yet? I would like to check the input delay with a Miracast Connection and inputs to the smartphone...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Sorry but there's no way to do partial refunds. The only two choices are free or full and it's not going to be free. There was just too much work involved to make it a free update.

Looking for some info before I purchase the microsoft wireless display adapter. I have an old app radio 2 that I'd like to use. I just got an LG V30. Should the combination of appradio 2 + LG V30 + MS Wireless adapter + Appradio unchained rootless work?

I use the same setup with a galaxy s7. Works fine as well. Has hickups connecting some times, but it can easily be remedied by using samsung smart connect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
Same setup here. With the touch screen calibration offsets making this work for 16:9, the only issue is that Samsung Smart Connect gets in its own way sometimes, and in my way often when I'm leaving the car. I wish Miracast would allow us to shut off phone screen, but alas...

google pixel 2 XL compatible

Hello Forum

Can anyone confirm if a google pixel 2 XL is compatible?

I currently use a S7 edge with a screenbeam mini 2 connected to a 4100NEX

Do i need a chromecast or can I use the sb mini 2?

Is there an adapter to hard wire the phone to the pioneer deck?

thanks

Thank you for so many years of unchaining the AppRadio, and the great development and support. It has been an awesome experience since the beginning. I appreciated your work and respected the consistent engagement and support provided to your apps' users. I have a new vehicle and transitioned to modern breed OEM infotainment. I am leaving the community. The closed nature of these systems feels wrong, since my conditioning is an Android root, adb, and fastboot life, started with 1.1 and Cupcake. I gave in to the holistic experience of my new electric hybrid tech car, and the cohesive interfacing of all vehicle systems, at the cost of unrestricted smartphone mirroring.

I will miss this transformative stage of Android and automotive headunits.

You are a trailblazer!

Thanks. Does your new car support Android Auto by any chance?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
It does not. It is a BMW, and they seem to be anti Google in that way. It is possible that a future software update adds it. Back to the dark ages.... I shopped for an Android Auto car but liked the deal I got for the car I ended up leasing for the next two years.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
That's too bad since my next project will be unchaining Android Auto. I am pretty sure that it can be done. Will start on it when my current assignment at a customer ends in about 7 weeks. I already was looking into supporting the new AppRadio head units that have AppRadio mode via USB. However Android Auto seems to be a better idea since it would not only work for Pioneer but a lot of other brands and factory installed head units as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lpasq:
I will support your Android Auto development. I think it is the better prospect project with broader sales opportunity for you. I am staying in your G+ community, and will remain subscribed here. Let us know when you start that project so I can donate.

i have a rooted note 8 and a 8201 nex what would be the best way to set this up for picture quality and responds quickly? i just got the radio this week i believe it will still work being the radio say its a 8200nex i guess the 1 is for the camera they added. thanks for any help and will donate for future updates.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Thanks but there's no need to donate. Just going to invest time in it and hopefully it will end up in a product that can be sold.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The most reliable option would be wired, see here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71981264&postcount=8

There's many similar devices that would work.

Since your Note 8 is rooted you may want to use AppRadio Unchained Reloaded as it offers better touch response because it can inject events. Rootless is limited by the accessibility service that only allows to inject complete gestures.

There's no need to donate as that is not really a viable business model. Instead you need to purchase either one of the apps from the Play store.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Google Pixel 2 XL should work. However as Google only supports Chromecast that is what you need to use. To be able to connect to a Chromecast it needs internet access which can be provided via the phone's Android hotspot if your provider allows wifi tethering.

issues with lg v30

I'm hoping this an issue that may have happened before and solved but my phone is acting stupid out of nowhere it stops working properly like when I first got the phone the app worked well but recently when it connects it doesn't let me see apps or allow me to scroll to select app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
Have you tried resetting the calibration and doing it again? Sometimes the touch gets wonky on me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sawoosevens:
I did but it didn't help any it got like that of nowhere I hadn't even mess with the setting s.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
What's displayed in the app's status?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sawoosevens:
The the status is normal it just no longer allow me to use it like normal out of nowhere and I hadn't changed anything I tried clearing cache and even factory resetting the head unit but its not helping.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:

When the app's connected and you touch the head unit's screen does 'HDMI' light up in the background?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sawoosevens:
Yes, I have even replaced my wireless display adapter still everytime the phone connects I'm unable to scroll or choose any apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
If it lights up 'HDMI' in the background when you touch the screen the head unit has 'HDMI' source selected. In that mode you can only show the HDMI input but touch won't work. To use AppRadio mode you needs to select 'APPS' as source. When 'HDMI' source is selected you can switch to 'APPS' by hitting the head unit's 'Mode' button once.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sawoosevens:
​

Sorry I miss red the question I always only do use the apps function I checked the HDMI just because.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
When the app is connected, does it react to the head unit's side bar buttons? To show the side bar, double tap the head unit's central button with the 4 squares.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sawoosevens:
Yes, those buttons work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Then it's pretty much working.

Please do the following when the app is NOT connected:

- In the app's 'Screen settings' make sure that 'Invert XY-coordinates' is NOT ticked

- From the app's menu select 'Reset calibration'

- Connect and touch should work

- You can now do a Screen calibration
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stargate125645:
My S8+ has Android 8.0 now (Samsung Experience 9.0). The screen off feature when mirroring is awesome! I do notice that the wireless screencasting automation is even less reliable now, though. Just an FYI for those who are getting the update: it is often easier to connect manually.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sawoosevens:
I followed those steps provided, but it remains the same ahh well it was a great run while it lasted imma just have to make do with how it is now. Thanks for the help:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pinetreehater:
I would like to thank the Developer for this outstanding application. It works perfectly. My setup:

1. AVIC-8200

2. Mustang Maestro

The Maestro comes with a small cubby hole below the Pioneer. To use the ARUnchained, I use HDMI. I first purchased a cradle from here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VT29BPB/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

This particular cradle has a simple plate at the bottom that can be unscrewed to remove the Type C connector. After removing the connector, I replaced it with the connector from this Type C to HDMI converter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUXA9YK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A little super glue and placing the screws and back plate hold the connector firm.

I placed my phone in the cradle and with the cubby removed from the dash, I superglued the cradle at the exact spot to the far left so that my phone slides into it (inside the craddle).

Can't get the pics to load in the post...tired of trying.

You also cannot see the cradle normally, as the cubby hole is low on the dash.

The only issue is unlocking. Even with auto unlock (via bluetooth), you still have to swipe to unlock. For some reason the ARUnchained app with show the swipe to unlock screen, but won't let you swipe to unlock. If you unlock first, it works fine.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
With Android 7 it works. The app waits till the smart unlock activates and then does a swipe. Did some testing with Android 8 it doesn't work. The rotation locker that becomes active when connected to force landscape, can do so even when the device is locked on Android 7. On Android 8 landscape is activated after the device becomes unlocked. However touch orientation is assumed to be correct already and then the swipe from bottom to up is not correct to unlock. What however works is to swipe from left to right.

For now, when the lock screen is shown on the head unit, all you need to do is to swipe from left to right, instead of from bottom to top. I will add an option so the correct swipe will be done automatically for Android 8.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It looks like it's an AppRadio 3. First make sure that the Bluetooth connection type is set to 'Others'. Edit: it's an AppRadio 2 so most likely there's no setting like this.

With those older head units a Bluetooth connection issue can occur. A workaround for this is implemented. Please see paragraph 2.7.7 'Workaround for wrong channel assignment' of the Reloaded user's guide: https://goo.gl/iYv1Qo

You need to enable it and set a number of channels to skip, usually 3 is a good number.

Note for other readers, the link is for AppRadio Unchained Reloaded user's guide. There's another one for Rootless.

I'm experiencing the same problem as described with the LG G6 where the soft key/navigation buttons are inaccessible to touch inputs. The dots to calibrate do not extend far enough to the right to include them. My setup is the Essential phone running 8.1 casting to the original Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter with an AppRadio4 head unit. I see older posts indicating that the Essential phone was working with screencasting although not identical to my scenario. Is there a way to overcome this before I take a hit on the restocking fee and return this phone?

Edit...nevermind took it back and got a Mate 10 Pro which I can confirm works.

Hi - I have a Galaxy S6 Edge and a Pioneer 4100 NEX. I want to get the ARU Rootless version. I understand that my phone isn't compatible with MHL, so I will have to get the Screen Beam.

Control goes from the head unit to the phone via Bluetooth so it will work.

Hey everyone, I'm posting as a guest. Before I purchase the Unchained app, I had a few questions and want to make sure everything is going to work, and work how I hope it does.

This is what I have:

Pioneer Appradio 3

Samsung S8

Pioneer CD-AH200C (is this useful for the unchained setup?)

Microbypass

I would like to be able to:

Mirror the phone to the Appradio with touch input

Charge the phone (fast charging if possible)

Be able to have the phone screen OFF while connected.

If I can get the rundown on how to properly connect this the most reliable way, I would appreciate it! I'd love to buy the app if it'll all work for me.

It's one that many report working well. I don't have all possible Miracast devices so I can't tell which one is best.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Pioneer CD-AH200C won't work as the S8 doesn't support MHL. Instead the S8 supports DisplayPort Alt Mode so there's indeed a wired option and devies like this can be used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ilpage_o02_s00&redirect=true&psc=1&pldnSite=1

There's many similar devices and if you are patient enough you can order one from China for half the price.

1) Ok

2) Depends on the HDMI adapter and where you power it from. Head unit can only provide 1 A. USB adapter (12V - 5V) can provide more power however apparently S8 only charges with max 1.5A when the screen is on.

3) Not possible, phone is designed to still have screen on when mirroring via HDMI adapter. App dims backlight to minimum when connected to minimize power usage.

Nexus 6 only works with Chromecast to get the screen to HDMI. Chromecast only works when it has internet access which can be provided via phone's Android hotspot but this requires that your provider allows wifi tethering.

Help with samsung galaxy s8

So i'm having no luck with setting this up to mirror my phone on the head unit (appradio 4). I used to have this working correctly on the same head unit with my HTC One M8 rooted. Anyways, I have the adapter that plugs into both hdmi and usb on the back of the appradio, then it goes into a little black box, which has a micro usb output. that's supposed to plug into the phone. I have this all setup, and the settings on the appradio are correct. I then initialize the app, and it goes through the protocol and connects. It says it's connected, but there is no screen mirroring. I am left at the usual menu screen for the appradio. when I look around in the menu, there is nothing I can select to go into "apps" or any other input that should be the screen mirroring input.

Please advise.

The only thing i'm doing out of the ordinary is that i'm using an adapter from micro SD to usb-c so that the pioneer adapter can plug into my galaxy s8. I dont think this is the problem, but i guess anything is possible.

Thanks for any help!
