PioneerGuy Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just received an AppRadio2 and ran into some issues. The headunit itself works fine; when I start the car, the radio comes on, the initial CAUTION message comes up, and after I click OK, the main screen displays. I can access the radio, settings, etc. When I connect the phone (and I've tried both my 4 and 4S) to access apps, I hear the chime that it's connected and charging, but the app icon on the screen never goes active - it stays greyed out. Is there something else that I need to do? Does the cord need to be replaced? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
odepaj Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Since you've tried two different phones I assume what I'm gonna suggest isn't the problem... But, are they jailbroken with something like "No Accessory Splash" from Cydia installed? I had this problem when I first got my radio and it didn't hit me until a few hours later while trying different things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PioneerGuy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 The 4 is jailbroken, running iOS 5; the 4S is not jailbroken and running iOS 6.1. I'm not totally convinced it's the cable since the phones do chime and charge when connected, but I don't know what else it could be or where else to look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hell520 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Have you tried clicking on the pioneer app on your phone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyz3343 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sadly that sound exactly like a bad cable. Check the port itself. It may be dirty. That would be your best hope of getting the machine working again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PioneerGuy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks. I went back and checked all of my wirining, checked the connections for any broken leads and such, then I took a can of compressed air and did thorough cleaning on all male and female connectors. I guess something got dislodged or was in the wrong place because now it works like a champ!! Now to wire the microbypass and dremel a pass through for the cable, then I can finally put my dash back together! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
