Mossberg Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 It's been working fine lately other than occasionally needing to disconnect and reconnect my iPhone. I also can't seem to control Inrix through the advanced app interface, but google maps works fine. The last two days, I did not get the source switching out of Pandora problem.

Mossberg Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 The problem returned this morning. After I disconnected and reconnected the iphone, I didn't have the problem for the rest of my trip to work. This is frustrating, since I cannot pinpoint the exact behavior that causes the issue. I did just update to the latest version of the AppRadio App last night on my iphone, but I don't notice any changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chitown kid Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 i also just did that update for appradio app. i did not notice any difference/or improvements with it. my radio just started acting up again, theres time when i select the panadora app on the radio it will not communicate with phone , it seems as it goes into a thinking mode and never sends the message to the phone, so i have to kill the pandora app on the phone and start from scratch and after the third time it will work...i belive that there might be a conflick with os in the radio. boy it sucks that i have to get stuck this headache.

Mossberg Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I am still having the issues, and it's getting to the point of being a safety hazard. I find myself constantly having to fiddle with the radio and/or iphone while driving since this problem started, which is dangerous. Yesterday, while driving and listening to a Playlist on iPod mode, the radio would just randomly pause itself several times and go into app mode. I also am having an issue where Inrix traffic cannot be controlled by the screen on the X940BT. The Google Maps app I can control from the screen just fine though. I've decided that my radio is most likely going back to Crutchfield this weekend. This thing is too big of a distraction. I want to be able to plug in my iPhone and select a source and simply leave it alone. This radio in its current state does not allow this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pjbigshow Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 New install 2 days ago... Getting same problem... ANy updates?? I purchased from Amazon and will be returning if this keeps happening which I suspect it will. Mine is doing it when I'm simply listening to music on my iPhone 4s... Screen goes into the all black app mode and stops playback. I have to switch back to resume play. I have about a 15 minute commute to work and it happened twice!!! Ughhhh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mossberg Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 No solution yet. Mine also does it in iPod mode like yours does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mossberg Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Well, I traded mine for a Clarion NX602. The Nav system on this unit KILLS the Pioneer! I absolutely love the 3d buildings and it is just more intuitive overall. I do miss the app functionality, but the only app I really used was Pandora (which the Clarion has Pandora integration anyway). I also wish that there was a larger user base for Clarion, so I can browse wonderful forums like this. It seems there are no Clarion forums. The funny part about it is that the X940BT started acting properly only after I ordered the Clarion. The last few days with the Pioneer were trouble-free. Go figure. So far (day 2), I'm happy with my choice to switch units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ohlarikd Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Just picked up this 940. I thankfully do not have this issue, but I am using a iPod Touch 4. Pandora plays and does not switch. But Pandora sucks and I use Slacker. For Slacker - USUALLY I get the album art. Occasionally its missing but most of the time its there. Bought 940 from Amazon. I also have the Pioneer iPod cable with factory packaging, also from Amazon. No issues. AppRadio is another story, but I will make another thread...
