I ended up returning my AppRadio and got an Clarion NX501 instead.... it has Nav, Bluetooth, audio-over-Bluetooth (AVTCP protocol too, meaning one can fast forward/rewind/play/pause apps like Spotify and Pandora on the phone) and even has a bunch of places where you can "flick" through stuff (like the AppRadio *should*) like music and contacts... The end of my time with the radio was for the situation you describe above, the AppRadio sometimes just wouldn't recognize the iPhone..... making itself a $400 FM tuner.... Anyways, good luck....

ordered a Clarion NX501.... my first non-Pioneer radio since like 2000

I called Amazon today and got an RMA to return it... i'm done with it..... using it is an absolute displeasure

I also have issues with my Bluetooth... when a call is initiated the person on the other end can hear me for about 5 seconds then they are not able hear me anymore...... .

I do not have any idea if it is "standard SMA", but I can help you by providing a few pics of the connector:

thanks for posting.... i feel a little more at ease that i am not the only one.... still doesn't fix the issue, which i feel is the radio charging waaaay too aggressively, but what can we do

oooh yeah, i forgot about that "feature" what's weird, well screwed up, about that feature is that the music doesn't automatically play upon return, mine doesn't do anything until i hit the uber-annoying "OK" button saying i won't use the GPS to drive into a lake, then goes to home screen, THEN have to hit Radio or iPod to resume playing....

I'll be short since I have been lengthly on previous issues pretty much this one is: - I am listening to iPod "app" - Turn off car, leave iPhone plugged in - Gone for however long (NN minutes) - Turn car back on - iPod had been playing, silently, for NN minutes that shouldn't happen, the iPod function should pause while turned off, just like any Pioneer radio with iPd interaction from the past 8-10 years anyone able to confirm this issue?

Simply listening to music off the iPod app, the iPhone still gets hot to the touch... no data, no GPS, no apps, screen off i do not have this issue charging with the charger it came with, plugged into my computer, or on one of the radio/docks I have at the house, it *only* happens when plugged into the AppRadio

that is the way it is supposed to work, what the OP posted about, and i relied that I ran into as well, was that this was *not* working like it should

yeah, the screen being on isn't the issue.... there is zero chance that the screen showing is causing the phone to get *that* hot

I haven't seen any chatter about this anywhere: but is anyone else's iPhone running (very) hot from being plugged into the AppRadio? My first one did it, my second one does it, and I have a feeling that the radio is charging the iPhone too aggressively...

My first one was indeed stuck in Demo mode as well, but what didn't work for me were the 3 actual buttons (volume up, down, and the home)... My replacement does not show this behavior

actually, i think ibcr8iv is right on point.. Pioneer seemed to have ditched their custom iPod interface for this generic "iPod out" functionality... which works great in a car like a BMW since they have the knob to easily go up and down the menus.... but Pioneer's choice to use this functionality while making the controls for it virtual up/down arrows is just flat out moronic... I swear, they released this thing with absolutely zero input from user testing.... there is no other explanation

Sorry for the background noise, it was raining pretty good while I was recording this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z5C5S0Jwmc
