Thank you for the information - I'll bet it is similar for Android, which is what I use. I know you can get Google Now to pop up when your phone is on desktop so it may then be possible to tie that to the steering wheel button.

I hate reviving dead threads, but no one on XDA can answer apparently, so I'll ask here. Does anyone know whether the steering wheel voice activation button and/or hang up and answer buttons now work with the AppRadio 3? They did not with the 2, and Pioneer support is too incompetent to give a straight answer. Neither PAC or Metra have answers on their sites, either.

I hope if he gets things to work he isn't so aloof with software direction.

The website is down and support has been waning for the better part of the year. Hope this isn't the end.

I understand. Just curious what your option were, and that's as good a reason as any to not get Android if you don't have to! See this link: http://www.pioneerel...e Compatibility There is an adapter (from Apple, I believe), but you will only get Bluetooth (which you can get without hooking up the phone anyway) and Pandora. If you have an AppRadio 2, you also get music playback it seems. Perhaps get a broken screen iPod Touch 4th gen. and set it up with your iPhone 5 via WiFi? That would seem to be the cheapest solution...

I'm aware of the Lexerd glare screen cover. I still don't like having to use it. If you're considering purchasing something else, why would you not just get an Android phone and have full control via the head unit?

Yes it is but you lose voice control.

No. That is there to stay.

I'll try this weekend when I'm at the installer. Push-to-Talk will not work. I am going to see if Mute, Band, Play/Enter, On Hook, Off Hook, Fan Up, Fan Down, Temp Up, or Temp Down, are passed through by the head unit. If they are, we can get those buttons set to do things on the AppRadio. I highly doubt they will work, though, as Pioneer went minimalist on pretty much everything. I mean, how hard would it have been to enable A2DP with their Parrot Bluetooth module? Pioneer didn't even develop it and still didn't get it enabled!

Lightly used? Money bags!

Broken screen or new one?

I think Pioneer's website says 4th gen only for that. I would suggest getting a broken screen iPhone (an iPod Classic will play music I believe, but not sure about AdvancedApp Mode. Pioneer is not consistent on their website with what does and does not work) if you want a cheap solution for full control. Since you have an iPhone 5, you are not due up for a new phone any time I'd imagine, soon so that will be the cheapest solution. If you are made of money, though, I'd graduate to a big boy (ha, couldn't resist!) phone and Android. With the advent of ARLiberator for Android, you have unlimited

1. I don't understand...it sounds like you already tried and want to know if there's a workaround? 2. Pioneer does not have an adapter for iPhone 5 since they changed the connector. I'm not sure you have options other than Bluetooth calls from it. 3. I'll let an avid Apple user answer this. I'm not sure.

So after finally getting a straight answer out of Pioneer, it seems there is no voice dialing.

Surely someone has gotten it to work has difinitely found out that it will not...

If Pioneer would allow for voice pass-through, then I'd have no complaints about the AppRadio 2 other than the glossy screen.

What are you guys using to enable steering wheel controls for the AppRadio 2? Specifically, I cannot get the Push-to-Talk button to bring up the voice dial prompt of the head unit. Everything else works but those two things and it is driving me nuts! I am currently using the Axxess AWSC interface. I realize similar questions have been asked, but none were explicitly my question (at least the ones immediately available when searching), nor was an answer to my question provided in them.

It varies by phone. You would need to do research to find out.

That is fantastic news, guys! Perhaps the battery will at least trickle charge then.

I'll be testing it out next week some time. Hopefully the phone doesn't get too hot. Also, guys: "Your" != "you're" in any situation.

So when you donate the developer gives you access to the application how?

Ugh. That makes me want to look at Alpine's new head unit instead. In regards to the soft keys, I was asking what is used to navigate on the head unit when a phone has physical soft keys only?

So for those who have their phones get hot, do you worry about damage? How long do you leave it plugged in? It would defeat the purpose if you could only leave the phone in for an hour or so. I also just noticed a potential issue...the Galaxy Nexus has the soft keys drawn on the screen, whereas most phones do not. How is that managed by the program?

I am already registered there and have been lurking as I indicated, which lead to the questions. I can ask them there instead, though. Like twenty pixels per side are cut off. Have you tried it on a TV? That's where mine does it. In regards to temperature, it sounds like there needs to be something programmed to allow screen time out.

Èšhe iSheeple herd is large for a relatively small selection of phones (fewer devices to program for but still encompassing a large number of people) so they are bound to garner support first.
