mattesonb Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 ok so the new unit arrived today, plugged it in and got the exact same issue as before. i think at this point it is safe to say that the unit is not the problem and it is either my phone or one of the cables. i'll be returning the new one tomorrow, at least now i know that the unit isn't the issue. i'll be going to best buy on wednesday to buy a new cable, at that point if it doesn't work i will know it is my phone. i should have access to another iphone 5 this afternoon as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Dont return the new one. Return the one you've had as defective. That way Amazon wont charge you shipping. And good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And good luck. yeah that is the plan, i also purchased a 4th generation ipod touch to test out. the ipod will be here tomorrow so i can test that out too, if that works i can tether the ipod touch off my iphone 5 until i figure this all out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattesonb Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 so i just had a pretty big break through! my pone crashed while i was using it and it was in safe mode, so i figured i might as well plug it in and see if there is any change. soon as i launched app mod it immediately worked! so it appears my phone being jailbroken is in fact the real issue here, i am going to remove everything i have added and see if i can narrow down what has caused the issue here. what appears to be the best navigation app? also what other apps are must haves?

Jas0n Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 winter board is always a good one to delete off your phone, if you added hacked sources some of the things in there make for problems, now all you have to do is find the one thing in cydia that's messing you up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Look for any TV Out apps. They can be in conflict with the built in TV Out of the iPhone. And iGo is the best navi app IMO for the moment. Navfree is actually pretty good as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Navfree is actually pretty good as well. i will look into igo for sure, i had previously downloaded i TV Out but i had already removed it before i every installed the head unit. i will have to see if any extensions are still ther Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marko1974 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi from Germany! I´ve read all your postings - sorry if I have some troubles with your language but i´ll do my very best. I´d like to purchase the same product as you have. Here in germany its called Pioneer AVH-X8500bt - but no german forum is discussing any issues at the moment, because the radio is brand new I would like to ask some questions about the US Version, which is hopefully the same (instead of frequencies) I´m also an owner of an Iphone5 but i don´t really need to get the app thing working on the radio. More important is: I want to use my Navigon app (from the Iphone5) mirrored on the radio screen (full size) - sure with the Lightning HDMI Adapter from the apple store. Navigation announcements and iphone music should come over the speakers. Better would be: Listen to the ordinary radiostations, Navigon on the radio screen, announcements mixed or with radio faded out over the speakers. My Iphone is NOT jailbroken and is running with the current version 6.1.3 Possible???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
draganjr Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I know this is for the iphone 5 but I am having the same problem with my HTC Rezound. I get a blank screen and I see my screen on the phone and the touch screen works on the unit. Very wierd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jas0n Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nav free seems to work well with iPhone 5. I know a can browse web and listen to any music I have on phone, I'll give the music and navigation thing a try next time I go somewhere Draganjr. I know nothing about android buddy, maybe some one else will chime in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I also have Navfree and it is my "secondary" navi app if you will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph0121 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Did you ever get it to work Matt? I'm really interested in getting the same unit but only if AppMode can be use with the iPhone 5. Mine is jailbroken, but only for the iBlacklist app (nothing more). I was about to pull the trigger right before I stumbled on this forum!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jas0n Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I remember saying it could be that awhile back But is great to see you got it worked out So how you like the 8500 now since you got it working? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
