Important Note:
The version of AppRadio Extensions on the BigBoss repo in Cydia is not compatible with iOS 6 or the latest version of the AppRadio app (v2.0).
It will only work with v1.8.2 of the AppRadio app running on iOS 5.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

* iOS 6 *

Latest Download Link:
AppRadioExtensions_2.1.0_Beta11.deb

or

Cydia Repository:

http://mikedecaro.com/repo/  (Beta 11 will show as 2.0.1-173 in Cydia)

 

A reboot is now required after installing!

Changes:

• Full support for iOS 6
• Support for the iPhone 5

Issues:

• Swipe gestures still don't work well
• Notifications may not display on the head unit in supported apps
• Screen dims/turns off while using unsupported apps
• Some apps don't auto rotate
• Siri requires the parking brake bypass
• Rearranged AppRadio app menu icons don't stay in place

iPhone 4 Issues:

• The screen refresh is slow/lags.

iPhone 5 Issues:

• Touch events do not register in the correct location

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

** The beta versions of AppRadio Extensions assume you have the latest AppRadio app and Pioneer FW installed. **

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dependencies:

MobileSubstrate
PreferenceLoader
AppList

You may have to switch to developer mode in Cydia in order to see these packages. (Manage -> Settings -> Developer)

 

Conflicts:

Any TV Out package (DisplayOut, Landscape TV Out, TVOut2, etc.)
Dimmer by Phoenix-Dev

Instructions:
Install all of the dependencies.
Install the beta version of AppRadio Extensions.
Start the AppRadio app.
Launch an unsupported app from the menu. These can be added via the 'More Apps' setting.
The unsupported app should show on the phone screen and the radio.
Control the iPhone app from the radio.
Press on the black bars to the left or right of the app window to go back to the AppRadio app menu.

Issues:
If you have problems getting back to a normal state, try killing the AppRadio app from the task switcher. If that doesn't work, reboot the device.

Note: Please be aware that this is a beta version that could error, crash, cause your phone to become unresponsive, etc. Do not install it unless you are prepared for these things to happen.

Thank you very much for your enormous work....

nice man!!! how hard was it to crack the coding for the touch signals?

Dang, dude, did you get the gsEvent working?

I wonder what the basis of springboard control not working is?

Have you thought about making an sbsettings toggle to toggle ARextensions on/off quickly, so the stock applications can be accessed? Im not sure that anyone would even want to use the stock applications if you had full iOS access (because there are much better nav/music/photo/whatever applications than the ones bundled with pioneer).

Look out, mike! Pioneer might come knocking on your door trying to give you a job

Mike you are the best !!!!!! THANKS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU !!!!!

"whazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" ?

nice man!!! how hard was it to crack the coding for the touch signals?

I found some code by Saurik (Veency) that support mouse clicks. I based everything off of that so it made things a bit easier. Still needs some work to get swipe gestures going but I think it's looking good so far.

Not sure why SpringBoard control isn't working. I'll have to do something custom for that part. The stock application's don't work by design right now. When I first got TV working, I had to disable some of built in apps because they were causing issues with the iPod app. I narrowed it down to Music, iPodOut, and another built in app for ad's but I never turned everything else back on.

I find it interesting that hackradio.me releases a video, and it inspires you to basically do the same thing in a weekend.

Fab job, dude. I think there would be several people that would be grateful enough to donate to PayPal if you set it up. This could potentially be scalable to other head units since it looks like appradio app is going to be the control app for other head units as well.

I hope this didn't come off rude in any way. I was waiting for those guys to release HackRadio but I didn't realize it required the Mimic's hardware.

Not rude at all, dude. No one has any expectation that you HAVE to update your extensions (I think I don't only speak for myself when I say that). Throughout history, though, you find innovation happening seemingly in parallel. Bell was working on the telephone at the same time as his competitors, there was a rival team to Watson and crick to elidicate the structure of DNA... And while this is not quite as momentous as the aforementioned, hackradio shows up on the scene, and that inspires you to do the same thing, but taking a slightly different direction.

Make no mistake, I'm a big fan, and if I had more time to brush up my programming skills, these are the kinds of projects I wish I could get into.

also man there is an app to allow calibration on the screen to help with your calibration issues

[Bumpaneer]

Can't wait for this to be released!

Yeah I wouldn't bet on it. Although that would likely be awesome for Mike, Pioneer wouldn't pay him nowhere near what he would be worth sense they have their third rate Chinese software coders. After all, that is why we need Mike in the first place.

[VBLUE42]

Honestly folks, on that note I would like to make a call out to all of you to donate to him now. Take five minutes of your time and money while you browse this forum and send some love to his Paypal account. He is bringing great value to your AppRadios for free that Pioneer should have brought in the first place for the hundreds of dollars you spent for them. Lets make it happen people.

@Mike
I just make you a Paypal donation .... thank you again for everything
