[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jdkbph:
Hi all. After months of smooth sailing I've got an issue I wanted to ask about. As of the last Oneplus update to my phone, my steering wheel skip track/forward and replay track/reverse controls no longer work. Volume works fine. At first I assumed the problem was with the Android update from Oneplus. But the problem only exists on Google Play Music. Amazon music and Slacker both work fine. Google just ignores it. Assuming they all use the same APIs to communicate with the head unit controls (which also works fine) the problem has to be with Google? No?

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Any thoughts on where I might look for a fix?

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Without root the only way to do something useful with the SWCs is to inject those as Media buttons. Unfortunately it depends on each app if it handles Media buttons. Apparently Google Play Music doesn't handle those anymore. I got a similar report before. There's no workaround to fix this. It can only be fixed by Google.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jdkbph:
Thanks for the reply Area51. Am I right in thinking that if this is what's happened, everyone who uses ARUR with Google Play Music should be having the same problem? Google Play Music has got to be one of - if not THE - most popular streaming music service... at least in the US. Yet, based on web searches (yes, using Google), I seem to be the only one affected.

Strange...

I know this is a bit off topic but if I may . . .

I swapped my broken AppRadio II with an NEX4200. Since the wiring harness for the radios are identical, the swap was quick and I didn't have to cut/reconnect any wires. My problem is the with ebrake sensor. There was a trick to install a relay to fool the radio into thinking the ebrake was pulled when it wasn't, then there was another solution that didn't require the relay so I went with that - but I don't remember what it was. With my new radio it tells me that the handbrake has to be engaged. Which is odd since I didn't remove anything from the AppRadio setup, so I'd think it would work for the new radio. I pulled the dash apart and found that I covered the end of the ebrake sensor wire, meaning it wasn't being used with the old trick. Is it possible the trick (which I can't remember) no longer works with the newer headunit? Is there another trick I can apply? Only using bluetooth is boring! :)

You need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VKQ6ECQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_lvQCxbNCTX540

For AVIC head units there's another way that doesn't require hardware but it doesn't work for the NEX4200.

list-phones-supporting-mhl-or-hdmi-output/

For those looking for a list of phones that they can use a cable for back up plan to casting.

Found this since my trusty g3 (resurrection remix) is dying (flaky screen issue). I have found some information on how to fix it but I think it’s time to let it go. Currently running SPH-DA210 LG G3 on Resurrection Remix Rom Android 7.1.2

Anybody have suggestions of phones that have had the least trouble with ARU?

Thanks in advance!

I would say Samsung S8 (plus) / Note 8 / S9 (plus). First of all it has wired HDMI support that I found working very well. Alternatively it has good Miracast support. Slight disadvantage is the 18.5:9 aspect ratio which will cause small black bars on top/bottom of the head unit which is 16:9.

Do not get any Google device as it only supports Chromecast which is too cumbersome for mobile use.

Last but not least I use my S8 + for development so if there's any issues it's easiest to reproduce and fix.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigcid10:
I just bought this setup for my S8+ today

can you maybe advise me to which cables goes where?

the hdmi from the HU to the hdmi of the adapter ?

the usb-c to usm3 cable to my car quick charge adapter ?

I'm not sure,Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Yes.

USB-C- to USB-A cable from Towabo to charger.

Short USB-C cable from the Towabo to the phone. Can be extended with the USB Type C Extension cable if you got that as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigcid10:
Well,The adapter I bought from the first link must have been defective as I got no video

and it doesn't send a charge to my phone

also from what I read,it doesn't support quick charge ?

which means I would need to run the type c cable separately,no ?

I'm going to try another one and see what happens

I returned the first adapter and bought another of the same

no luck ,It doesn't work on my system.

I plugged the adapter into the usb-c output of my S8+

I plugged the hdmi cable from the 8500bhs to hdmi port on the adapter

I plugged the usb-c port on the adapter and the usb3 end to my quickcharge adapter

it didn't start charging my phone and no reaction from ARU or my phone

I checked off the wired connection tab from ARU

Pioneer's AVH-Z9100DAB also features a HDMI input, AppRadio Mode +, as well a Dual USB inputs and bluetooth.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S8+
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigcid10:
ok,here's the deal,lol

I tried it on my monitor through the adapter and it transferred a hdmi signal and

then I connected my usb-c charging cable as well and it will charge the phone ,but NOT fast charge.

but it did charge it .

here's what happened in my car :

I started by connecting the hdmi from the HU(x8500) to the adapter

then to the adapter it passed the signal and ARU connected

then I connected the usb-c charging connector and it started charging (not fast)

if I leave both connected and reconnect ,it won't connect the hdmi until I disconnect the usb-c cable

and the reconnect the adapter . I can live with this way as long as I connect them one at a time,it's fine

is there a way to get it to fast charge through the adapter though ?

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
It's not compatible as it has AppRadio Mode +, which is AppRadio mode via USB.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
I guess the adapter doesn't support fast charge. It's not a great loss though as I read about the power management of the S8(+). When the screen is on it doesn't fast charge anyway because that would heat up the phone too much. When the screen is on it will charge with 1.5A max.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigcid10:
Is there a way to adjust the aspect ratio when it's in hdmi mode ?

I could try and hook up a wireless fast charger,that might be a workaroud

as slow charging was a issue with previous phone
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
No, unfortunately there's no setting for that.

It might limit charging as well when the screen is on. Same as when charging wired.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bigcid10:
I had this hdmi setup for a few days now and the slow charging isn't much of an issue

It seems to still positive charge for me even with a heavy load on the phone

so I could say I'm happy

If I could get this to 16:9,it would be awesome

Thank you

Is the app status "Connected"? Is the car outside so the head unit does receive GPS data?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
Ok saw your post here: 4PDA

It may be that your head unit does not transfer GPS coordinates. Older head units that also have built-in navigation don't transfer GPS data in AppRadio mode. Pioneer changed that with never navigation units that use the AppRadio 4 protocol.

The only setting that influences that is in 'Workarounds->Do not use AR4 protocol'. It should not be enabled. If it's not enabled and you get no GPS data then unfortunately it can't work.

The only thing I can offer you is a refund for the app. Another possibility is to use a GPS mouse that you connect to your Android box via USB or BLuetooth.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ACROWA:
Thanks for the quick response!

Workarounds->Do not use AR4 protocol - tried differently, GPS - no.

Most likely you are right and the head unit does not transmit the GPS coordinates. Very sorry. :(

I looked, in AppPradio's application from Pioneer there is no navigation.

How can I get a refund?

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for your work!

Samsung S9 with SPH-DA120

Hi,

Fairly new here, been mostly a lurker. I have an S9 anmd a Pioneer SPH-DA120 AppRadio4. I wanted to know if this will work with an HDMI - USB-C adapter or if it will work with bluetooth? i also have a Microsoft Miracast, so that is my other option. I'm trying to make this as easy as possible to hook up. Any idea which would be the best way to go about it?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
The most reliable way is to use a HDMI to USB-C adapter which is what a S9 supports. Miracast can also work but a bit more fiddly for the connection. It won't work with only Bluetooth, that's only used for sending touch data back to the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] darksyder510:
Thanks! i'll go pick up a HDMI to USB-C then

Pioneer Avic's, AppRadio, Mirrorlink, and Galaxy S9 or Note 9

I have had a Pioneer AVIC-5100NEX for a couple years, love it... but the onl;y thing that works great when it comes to my cell phone interfacce is the hands free phoning via bluetooth. Appradio (android side) never worked, mirrorlink does nothing (usb error), and AndroidAuto, although the feature was supposedly added through a firmware update, never worked. This was all attempted, using different cables, etc, using my Galaxy S6 Edge+ phone. I do not have an HDMI input on my 5100NEX, so I never bought the Pioneer connectivity kit that they sell--it sounds like, based on others reports, that it wouldn't have worked anyways. I have always felt that Pioneer was not very supportive of Android and basically caters to IPhone users only, with ANdroid as an aftterthought, simply becasue they have to support it..

I just purchased an AVIC-8200NEX, and am considering a phone upgrade, since my S6 Edge plus battery doesn't last more than 14 hours anymore, and is a real bear to change. My question is simple, does the Galaxy S9 or Note 9 work with AndroidAuto, Mirrorlink, or AppRadio features (8200NEX would be my receiver)? Are there any special cabling requirements? Pioneer makes the connectivity kit for Android, and I was plannign on buying it and installing it when I install the new head unit in the vehicle... is that necessary? I had plans for the HDMI input, if I don't need to use it for my phone connection.

Last of all, if these devices are compatible, do I need to purchase the AppRadio Unchained Rootless app on top of all the additional expenses I am incurring for a high end phone and flagship car receiver w/ an additional connectivity kit?

Any help is appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Morphy99:
The S9 works, like most android handsets, with appradio unchained rootless which is what this thread is about.. If you want to find out what you can connect to your HU with I suggest you contact Pioneer. If your HU supports Appradio then ARUR might work with it. There is a compatibility list somewhere. You don't need a connectivity kit afaik, just a way of outputting HDMI from your phone. Either cable or casting via a dongle.

your not in court

what you see and hear on your phone is the same with ARU,nothing changes

On my Appradio 3 SPH-DA110 you can press the mix button on the left of the button panel which will enable the Bluetooth or radio whilst viewing Appradio.

I take it from the silence there isn't a fix likely for the aspect ratio on the S9?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Area51©:
No I haven't found time to try it on My S8+. Anyway, what is the issue exactly?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Morphy99:
The S9 is 18:9 aspect ratio whilst the HU display is 16:9 which results in black bands at top and bottom of screen. I can set the screen to 16:9 but when I do this the touch doesn't work correctly. The calibrate function in ARU doesn't work either.

Connectivity & need to restart

Hello [MENTION=5417637]Area51©[/MENTION],

I have enjoyed your work with AppRadio for several years now. I'm having some finicky connectivity issues that would be really nice to overcome.

Frequently my phone has difficulties connecting and screen casting if I have not restarted the phone before connecting. When I first experienced this with my Pixel 1 and just chocked it up to compatibility with the phone. Once I switched over to the Moto X4, issues went away and the connectivity was seamless. Unfortunately, it only lasted a month or two before I was back to needing to restart before attempting to connect. I'd really like to get back to the old days of reliable connectivity without restart. I cringe whenever I need to key-off mid-drive wondering if my phone will reconnect.

Other notes:

Phone: Moto X4 (Observed on Pixel 1 as well)

Connectivity: Chromecast & Bluetooth

ARUnchained Rootless - 0.07

When it doesn't work, the Chromecast artwork is typically displayed but the screen does not cast and the green Android icon is not displayed at the AR home page.

Connection trigger method: Bluetooth-Sreencasting. (Same result with manual)

End connection: key off, manually stop ARU, close app
