LordDamax Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 So I upgrade to an iphone 5, woo! I find out I need a new $50 cable, AND a $50 apple adapter to make it work. Awesome. I buy said parts and hook it all up. First of all, my damn appradio wont do a thing because it thinks its paired to an Android device! I'm using the CD-IH202 kit from Pioneer, and genuine apple cables and adapters. And it thinks its a damn android! AND, AND, I come here for a solution, and see that this setup makes me lose half the damn functionality I actually want! Assuming I can convince my Appradio that it's an iphone and NOT an android... somehow (any clue how?) I lose my ipod app (so presumably Siri control over itunes too) AND I need to play Pandora over bluetooth? What do I gain? Some crappy apps on the head unit? What the hell? Why the heck id the iphone 5 WORSE than my 4 was? Total fail Pioneer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asfd64 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Did you upgrade the firmware to 8.30? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordDamax Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Did you upgrade the firmware to 8.30? Yep. Also forgot to mention. Furiously pissed that in the $50 HDMI cable box that I waited 2 months for the instructions tell me I dont even NEED the goddamned $50 HDMI cable. Any USB Lightning + HDMI will work.

asfd64 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 What doesn't work exactly? Why do you say it thinks it's connected to an Android? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well I am having no issues with my setup so it must be something with you. And the change in the way things now work is what Pioneer had to do to compensate for the change in standard that Apple implemented. Pioneer simply could have chose not to address anything with these units and only offered an upgrade with next years unit but they didn't so I see it as win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asfd64 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I only started using the appradio with the iPhone 5 so I don't have much experience besides testing it out with my iPhone 4 and wasn't able to get it to mirror. That alone on the 5 is worth it for me Still waiting for rdio to update it's app! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyz3343 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 First off calm down. I know the changes are annoying at first, and yes in some ways you are losing some capability with the change. Remember it is still far better than having to replace you're entire radio because you got a new phone. Calm yet? Hope so. Pandora doesn't play over bluetooth, it's controlled via bluetooth. All audio is routed from the HDMI and is actually better quality than the analog audio you were sending before. So there is your first improvement. Your phone thinks it's an Android phone because you have the radio set to Other mode. disconnect your iPhone, turn off bluetooth on your iPhone, turn the radio off by sliding to the right and pressing the speaker icon and then go into settings. In settings find the device chooser. Based on your post I am thinking it is set to Other. Change it to iPhone AV Digital. Once you have done that re-enable your bluetooth and plug your iPhone back in. Your car should recognize your phone correctly now. You do not lose Siri control. I chose new songs through siri all the time with my 5 and it works without a problem. You do lose the iPod app but you just use the carmediaplayer app instead. It is a far smoother app than the built in app. Any other questions? Feel free to ask, but don't yell at us. We didn't do anything to you and are happy to help when you're calm about it.

LordDamax Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Phone disconnected, BT off. Turn appradio off. Have to turn it back on to get into settings. Click App Connection Settings. It does say Others. But when I click it it just tells me to do what you just did. I can't change it. Now what, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyz3343 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 No don't turn it off all the way. Press the speaker on the second page. That turns off the amp but lets you go into settings. Once you do that you will be able to switch other to iPhone AV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyz3343 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 and again don't have your iPhone plugged in at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordDamax Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 When I press the speaker the screen clears and it says Off at the top. I can't do anything til I hit the center home button and turn it back on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LordDamax Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Pressing the speaker does this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

asfd64 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 That's weird, with the phone disconnected from the cable and bluetooth you should be able to change that. When you updated your appradio did you copy only the SPH-DA100_SYS_UC_Ver08.30.yuk file to the USB and update then copy only the SPH-DA100_MMD_UC_Ver08.30.hat file to the usb and run that update? Maybe just confirm your update using the instructions here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Car-Firmware/SPHDA100_AppRadio2-FW-Update_v8.30_INSTRUCTIONS.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
