Sorry to resurrect a thread "declared dead", but I would like to point out some recent events..

The iPhone 4S can be downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 now (as long as you aren't on iOS 9.1), so all those out there (like me) who have some old iPhones hidden away in drawers might consider giving them a new purpose.

I would like to know if anybody still has the appradio 2.30 ipa file?

after all, appEx for iOS 6 worked amazingly!

I've ordered the device and will be picking it up later today.

Will post my findings as soon as I've tested it properly.

Really looking forward to having Garmin running on the Pioneer Unit.

Hi there!

Currently I'm using the iPhone 4S with the Pioneer AHV-8400BT, but the phone is getting a bit outdated.

Planning on buying another phone, and chances are this one (officially) won't be appradio compatible.

Will get a new (company) car soon, so this unit will most likely be moved into storage for a future car.
Yet, to make it a bit more useful when the time comes, I'm planning on buying a seperate GPS unit.

The original one from Pioneer (Currently the AVIC-F260 is available) will cost a small fortune (550€/685$)

So I went and looked for another (cheaper) solution.

Also because I believe it's a bit more interesting to have Garmin/Tomtom/Igo installed, compared to Pioneer's AVIC maps.

Not only because the maps are cheaper, but especially because they get updated more frequently.

Anyone experience with these chinese Windows CE 6.0 or Android GPS units?

Have found a few on aliexpress, but guess they will be available on other sites (ebay for example) too.

WinCE Demo

Android Demo

You can just select "app mixing" in the settings of the radio.

you then have the audio from the app, as well as the selected source.

when you connect your iphone

is it recognized as USB/iPhone 1?

it HAS TO BE 1, cannot work in 2

Yellow: +12V Continuous (battery)
Red: 12V Switched (ignition)
Black: -12V Ground

Then it should work properly
What you can do, is link the Yellow & Red wire (Pioneer cables are from factory prepared for it).
So: Yellow from battery -> Link with red wire --> Attach to +12V Continous

This way you'll be able to use the radio without the ignition turned on.

However, you will always need to turn off the radio manually, or your battery will get drained.

So the subs have to be embedded in the avi?

will try later this week!

Adrian Santiago,

try and check the "tv out" setting (on the iphone) when it's connected to the appradio.
I had the same issue with Carmediaplayer.  after setting the option "full screen" (or wide screen, not 100% sure) to "on", it displayed as it should.

You need to buu the in-app AppRadio support.

Then it should work.

After downgrading the appradio app to 1.8.2, my iPhone 4S (6.1.2) doesn't seem to recognize the AVH8400...

That is, in the app... When using YouTube the display out works as it should...

It just keeps giving the 'connect to appradio' screen..

Updating to the most recent version works properly.

It worked before the update with the same cable without issues...

155 views and no response...
The solution is apparently to enable wide screen view in the video-out options for the iphone.

Anyone else who has this issue?

When I launch EC Touch 2.1.4 on my AVH-8400BT, the screen is displayed incorrectly.

With version 2.1.3 I don't have this issue.

The icons are way too big, and about 1/3rd of the screen has 'fallen off'.

Hello everyone!

I am trying to figure out how to get subtitles to work with the 8400BT...

on page 78 of the manual, it says the unit is compatible with srt subtitles for divx files.

Yet, I have the avi and srt file in the same folder (same filename, except the extension) and it won't get recognized as a subtitle.

Any ideas?

they are working properly on my media player at home.

the audio/video plays without issue.

e.g.:

VIDEO\

2FAST2FURIOUS\

2fast2furious.avi

2fast2furious.srt

I have figured out that it won't take the folder.jpg files as albumart from usb/sd card.

if the albumart is embedded in the file, it gets loaded properly.

as for limitations:

it is clearly written in the manual there is only a limitation on amount of files.

15.000 files, 700 folders for video, 3.000 folders for music.(see page 78)

You can press the 'home' button. it's center button with the 4 squares to go back to the menu to select apps.

Is there an option somewhere to disable the screen of the iPhone with unsupported apps?

I have the phone in plain view, and it's quite annoying to have the screens display exactly the same

Except for that, the app is working perfectly on my 8400bt!

IAPFREE/IAP CRACKER is causing the facebook crash

Its not that easy as you think and it also take more time than you think..

I did it as soon as I had some time available.

Now, every file/rom I made I checked myself on my AVIC S2 except this one, my AVIC S2 is dead, sent it to repair, so I cant check this rom, and guarantee it works. So if it doesn't please let me know.

 

Of course you can go to ppath.txt and change direction, takes 1 minutes, but after you turn it off you will have to do it again, with the ROM it won't loose those setting. I explained everything in the first page

have uploaded the rom to my device

works...PERFECT!!!! THANKS!

now I just press my "navigate" button, and garmin loads without a problem!

hooray!

if anyone would like to know how to install garmin mobile XT on the device, let me know

1 minor point: sound of voices is rather quiet, but maybe this can be patched too

So in this one you altered the link already?

It should now start up garmin, or am I mistaking?

Yet, I would still like to know how to edit the roms myself.

This because I get frustrated of each time having to run through the setup and change my region and stuff.

Would also be useful to understand the system behind it.

I've studied programming, so I'm not completely retarded when it gets to computers

Anyway,

if you have any documententation, please share.

tnx

anyone who has an idea how to edit the rom?

then I can change the file and have it working perfectly

tnx

Sorry, was type-o.

I have the avic s2.

The reason I wanted to restore it, is because I think the original software works better.

However,

Yesterday I installed Garmin Mobile XT on the device, and it runs perfectly!

Just still need to change the link, but that's apparently changing a link in sys.txt which I will try in 2 minutes

Hi there!

I didn't read the first part correctly, and forgot to do the backup of "the flash disk".

Anyone who could post this, so I can restore my avic-s1?

thanks!
