I know its not a "solution" to your problem, but you can try my "workaround". I got tired of having to change cables and reset everything up everytime i switched phones or switched roms on Android so I picked up a broken screen ipod touch off ebay for cheap. I leave that plugged in at all times and just have the ipod touch connect via bluetooth tethering to my phone to share my internet connection. This way i get the benefit of the extended support that iOS gets on the app radio and still have Android as my main phone. I dont have to plug anything in when i get into my car, its all automat

Is there any reason that this wouldnt work on an iPod touch running 5.1.1? I've tried installing it and it shows in Cydia as installed but i dont get any settings in the settings menu and none of the benefits show up either.

In case anyone was wondering, as of right now the app radio 2 does not work with android 4.1 Jelly bean. Doesn't respond to any input in the apps menu and I haven't been able to successfully connect Pandora.

Is it possible to control Pandora from the headunit on the 8400 if you have an android phone? (over bluetooth). The website isnt real clear. Thanks

You might try an A/V Dock instead. I purchased a Desktop Dock for my Razr Maxx and just mounted it to my car. Since the Razr has both micro HDMI and USB i didnt want to have to plug both in everytime.

Is there anyone out there that would be willing to work up a background app that allows full control of your Android from the appRadio Interface. I'm sure its possible, since the iPhone can do it now. I dont have time to look into all the APIs and all that. I'd be willing to donate to anyone that could.

Google Maps works on the headunit but it is not the "navigation" part, just the maps directions that update as you go. The Navigation part can be done but you have to set it up on the phone. Then it will display on the screen and play the prompts through the stereo.

Ok, so i picked up an AppRadio 2 last week to replace my AppRadio 1. Then Saturday I picked up a Droid Razr Maxx to replace my iPhone 4s. Here are my first thoughts. Hardware: I just used a cheap HDMI to micro HDMI cable from Best Buy and plugged it into the back of the Headunit (into the HDMI port). Thats all it took, no special cable required. I actually ended up picking up an HD Dock for the Razr and i am mounting that on the corner of my dash so it will be a quick and easy plug and play for both HDMI and Micro USB (to charge). Other than that it took about 5 minutes to get the ca

Do you have some information on how you set that up? Pictures, diagrams or whatever?

I believe that module is to allow any "vehicle" noise to work. So you without that you wont have onstar or your dinger (like with lights on and doors open and stuff) and anything else that the vehicle might play out through the stereo.

Does anyone know of a replacement for backgrounder for iOS 5. I dont think its going to be updated for it and it makes life so much better on the APPradio. You can back out of the app on your phone but your headunit will still updated and remain control of the app. So if i need to respond to a text or something i can. Anyone know of anything or willing to look into develop something?

Thanks for the input but i have it working in my car right now. So yes it WILL and DOES work as already stated.

For the override you dont have to find the parking brake wire on the car. Just connect the parking brake wire on the back of the head unit to a switch then to a ground.

Mine doesnt. When i got my iPhone originally i had one with horrible battery life and would heat up really bad. Swapped it out and it runs fine now.

Did you try pressing the reset under the microsd door ?

I will agree with you on many subject. The ipod app is crap. It really is. The biggest flaw is you cant just click ON the name. Even if it is on the screen you have to use the arrow buttons to toggle to it then press ok. Making a one press item possible a 5 press item. With that said i have been using the RDIO app and i really like that. After setting up to sync my iTunes with their library i now have my entire library on there and can find other albums by that artist quickly or even set up a pandora like station for them. But with this you can skip songs, start over songs, and jump

All it takes is hooking the parking brake wire to a switch then to a ground. Flip it up and down when it asks for the brake and you are good to go.

I'm using it to overcome the issues that Apple has with multitasking. Unfortunately, it takes away alot of power from the App developers to create great apps

Because while the iOS has mulittasking built in, it still isnt true multi tasking. For instance, say i start a song on pandora and then i get a text, i switch to the text and the pandora information on the screen freezes. The music will still play but the information and controls are back on the iphone now not the HU. I had a few times where it wouldnt return control to the head unit when you brought it back up. More serious is with the navigation. I start navigating and then go to respond to a text or something and when i minimize the navigation program the maps disappear from the s

Very true, but unfortunately to get the most use out of this headunit you need to jailbreak. Backgrounder does wonders for this headunit. You can start Pandora, then back out of it to reply to a text message and the head unit will maintain control and keep updating.

Has anyone figured out a way to override the parking brake protection on the App radio. I havent even hooked up the parking brake wire yet and was wondering if hooking it up to a low voltage hot source with a switch would work. Edit 1: Scratch that. All it takes is simply grounding the parking brake wire. Now when my whole group goes on a float trip this weekend we can stream netflix on the way there. Edit 2: Ok after a few reboots the device started asking again for me to 1. Apply the parking brake 2. Remove it, 3. Reapply it. So i wired it up to a simply 2 position switch with

How do we enable the larger text on the left. I have a 700bt if that makes any difference. Also i am not getting the mute and cancel nav buttons on the navigation screen like shown. Great mods by the way. I think you need to delete your save files. Either that or you are in full screen cockpit mode. Larger text is enabled by default. This is the old: [attachment=1]IMG_0343.JPG[/attachment] And this is the new: Ok .. i had full screen cockpit enabled haha. So i got that figured out. My next question is more of a functionality question than a question about your m

Ok, i Just picked up a F700BT from my Best Buy that used to be on display. This one is most likely on the first firmware released. Do i need to update to 2.0 before updating to 3.0? Or can i just go straight to 3.0? Thanks

How hard would it be to swap the screen from a bricked F700BT to one with a broken screen?
