  1. Answers:

     

    1. Yes the bypass must be installed for this to work. 

     

    2. No need for a diagram.

    Heres the breakdown...

    1FT HDMI cable connected to the "hdmi in" on the back of the AR3 - to "HDMI out" on the Belkin HDMI auto switching HDMI splitter - x2 3FT HDMI cables running from each "HDMI in" port on the auto switcher - One runs to my iphone lighting adapter the other to the back of the NUC.

    Power for the nuc comes from by cigarette lighter port using the inverter (in OP) and the power cable runs behind the deck to the glovebox where the NUC is. The USB cable for the Leap is run behind the glovebox and the deck to in front of the shifter.

     

    3. Yes I use my iphone 5S for a hotspot :)

  2. All iPod touches don't have gps functionality. They are all wifi location based. There are 3rd party 30pin/lightning adapters that give the itouch true gps functionality but they are horribly buggy. Some are better than others, but it's still not as good as OEM. What you could do is get an iPad mini wifi+4g which has a GPS chip built into the mobo.

  3. Okay... 175GB of music, say an average of 5MB per track (high quality compressed) gives you over 35,000 tracks. About 2500 hours of music, or 3.5 months solid listening. In other words I think you need to learn to organize your music collection a little bit better.

     

    Or you could have just used and Android phone and 128GB SD card or wireless NAS. With the SD card you could carry your vast collection with you everywhere.

     

    I have organized my collection meticulously over the last 10 years. I just like having it all with me where ever I go. :)

    The whole point of this setup was to integrate the infrared controller for hand gestures with the NUC/AR3 deck. No android setup can replicate my results, so ill pass on your suggestion.

  4. I've been playing around with multiple setups with my AR3. Connecting PC's and other iPhones/Androids simultaneously to the unit via HDMI splitters.

     

    My current setup is an iPhone 5S (docked) and iPhone 4S in the glove box with app ex installed. Both are connected via an HDMI splitter. All I need to do is switch BT connections to the iPhone I want to work properly on the head unit.

     

    All these interface cables really are is just a way to charge the Phone. They have no functionality besides that. There is already a USB port on the back that you can use..

    This USB port works for all iPhone setups :)

    They are currently a complete rip off and waste of time with the AR3 unit.  

    All you need to connect..

     

    For 30 pin:

    All touch control functions are transmitted via bluetooth with APP RADIO 3 decks

     

    People say they could be used for some mysterious future functionality, but i wouldn't hold your breath. 

  5. I just set this up today, and I wanted to share with you guys.
     
    My setup:

     

     
    nuc-kit-dn2820fykh-10516694-2x1.jpg.rend
    Intel® NUC Kit DN2820FYKH (8GB RAM, WIFI, BT 4.0,INFRARED PORT, USB 3.0, 240GB SSD, 2.2GHZ DUAL CORE CELERON BAY TRAIL)

    Leap Motion controller (Controls NUC with swipe gestures)

    Lenovo Multimedia Remote with Keyboard N5901
     
    Heres a quick video I made of me skipping tracks from winamp in my car 
     
     
    I currently have Windows 8.1 Pro installed on the NUC, I find the tiles make it easier to navigate with such a low screen res. 
     
    The HDMI switcher works perfectly, I can have my iPhone 5S plugged in and outputting video to the AR3, as soon as I power on the NUC the HDMI input switches automatically to the PC. When the PC turns off, it goes back to the iPhone. :)
     
    When Im listening to music, I can still have my iPhone 5S connected via Bluetooth and make/receive calls/use siri
     
    The leap motion controller works perfectly in the area of space I have in my car. I can control my Windows 8.1 mouse pointer with my index finger, Adjust my volume with circle gestures, skip tracks with left to right swipes, keytap swipes for play/pause. So far this is all that I have tested today.
     
    I was concerned about heat generating from the NUC from it being in my glovebox. But I can tell you this thing hardly generates any heat at all. Its such low power, it doesnt get hot. I think I read that it draws somewhere around 7 watts power. It was a perfect fit in my DIN slot in my glovebox. Had it powered on with the glovebox door closed for a 3 hr drive today. It was still cool to the touch when I arrived at my destination.
     
    More videos to come....  soon :)

     

  6. Ill have more time this weekend to play around with things. What im thinking im going to start doing is making a skeleton winterboard theme. Within that theme will be all the images and image locations you can modify. All  we will need to do is go in and change the images to what we want ( keeping them in the same size ratio ) and then drop the theme folder in winterboards theme folder. 

    You can have multiple themes in winterboard and all you will need to do is select the one you want and respring your device for it to show up. This way the stock images can stay in the app radio app, instead of replacing them with modified images (like I did above)

     

    Ill keep you guys posted 

  7. You will need to be jailbroken with a iPhone 5/5S for this stock img mod to work for you.

    You will need ifunbox (WINDOWS) or cyberduck (MAC) installed to view the file system

    You will need afc2add installed from Cydia (USB SUPPORT)

     

    Tonight I started digging around my iPhone 5S's filesystem.

    I was checking out my App Radio App files on my phone in this location,

     

     //var/mobile/Applications/DC385366-84BE-43E4-B391-E96A9FD49AFB/AppRadio.app/

     

    I came across this image

     

     

    1hxr.png

    NX120_L_IP_001_iPhone5.png

     

    Ive uploaded for a size template (No scaling)

     

    After some quick photoshopping and replacing/overwriting the image with the same name in filesystem, I now have this as my splash screen on my iphone when the app radio app is connected

     

    lp8q.png

     

    By the looks of it there is alot more I can modify in there

     

    vtj8.png

     

    I have a background in theming iphones with winterboard (Cydia)

     

    So I think its time I start creating some appradio winterboard themes, so it will be easier to switch themes on the fly from your iPhone using winterboard. 

     

    More to come as I have more time to play around with it and customize the images at my disposal.

    Came across this on my first google search.

    .

    This will work without a jailbreak (- the unlimited skips hack)

     

    IF JAILBROKEN on 7.0.4 - Download/install through Cydia - Pandora downloader Ver 3.5.2

    Nav to the settings and enable unlimted skips/ no ads

     

    I can confirm this works

    I live in Canada, my App Radio 3 connects to my iPhone 5S Pandora app on iOS 7.0.4   :mrgreen:

    Works perfect through that VPN hack

     

    Enjoy.
