miscrap

UPDATE: I did a factory reset (paper clip in the small hole lower right corner). Radio apparently did reset, as it came up on a screen saying I need to enter the password. I know the password, so I clicked OK to get to the input screen. Nothing. The screen seems to not be responding to touch. Is there anything I can do, besides sending it in for repairs?

I pulled my 4100NEX today to replace the Android cable to try to get it to work with Android Auto. I have a new Samsung Note9 phone with a USB-C connector, and I've read that the phones are fussy about what kind of cables you use for Android Auto.  I tried a couple that I had around the house last week and they didn't work, so I picked up a couple different USB 3.1 Gen 2 cables last night. I pulled the radio out of the dashboard, and when I turned it on, it seemed to take a little longer on the Loading screen. It then went to the Warning screen, but I get no response to hitting OK. Can't get past that screen. As far as I can tell I didn't pull any wires loose. Pulling the radio out last week and putting it back didn't have this problem. Any ideas what happened, and what I can do about it?

Thanks!

I have a 4100NEX. Recently I've become unable to use the radio to make calls in my car. When I make or receive a call the other party can hear me, but I can't hear them. This happens over Bluetooth and when plugged in over Android Auto. I took the car into the shop that installed the radio. They checked all the connections and settings and said everything was ok, and blamed a setting on the phone. We have an AT&T service center in my town, so I took my Samsung Note5 there, and they told me that the problem was with the radio. So now I'm stuck in the middle. I turned off the Bluetooth on the radio so that the phone doesn't connect. Now I can make and receive calls, but I risk getting a ticket for not being hand held.

Also, I noticed that when the call connects the microphone in the upper right corner gets a slash through it, and the slash is removed when the call is disconnected.

Suggestions?

Edit: I connected an iPhone to the radio via Bluetooth and had the same problem, so it's definitely an issue with the radio.

Everything was hooked up right.  Replaced the Pioneer MHL adapter with a generic one off eBay and it instantly started working.

android auto only use USB, appradio mode u need to set in HDMI, and plug everything in and reboot the phone.

Thanks. What does "set in HDMI" mean?

Hi,

I recently installed a Pioneer 4100NEX in my 2014 Jeep Patriot.  Android Auto works great with my Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 5.0, but I can't get App Radio to work.  I purchased the Pioneer CD-AH200 kit, and connected to the HDMI and USB cables using the MHL adapter.  The phone is also Bluetooth connected to the radio.  I installed the Appradio app on my phone and started it.  When I hit the Home key on the radio the App button has an X and no apps appear. What am I doing wrong?

How about a 2014-15 Cherry Red Jeep Patriot.  And going with the Patriot theme, maybe a 'merica flag or a bald eagle or something for the background?

I changed the splash screen on my 4100NEX to a picture I downloaded.  That one comes on for about a second.  Then a black screen with a red Pioneer logo and the word loading comes on.  Is it possible to change that screen?
