AppRadio 2 TRACK Skip Buttons not working in AppRadio Mode

[digzz]

I've had this problem since I've had this unit and was wondering if it's been solved yet. When you are listening to the iPod and switch over to AppRadio mode, the Track Forward/Backward buttons do not work, even though the music continues to play, so I have no way of skipping to the next track/song while I am in any other app. In fact, I can't skip tracks at all once I enter in the AppRadio mode. I tried launching CarMediaPlay and can skip forward and backward within the CarMediaPlay app but I can't skip tracks as soon as I exit that app and switch back to iGo Primo or any other app.

Did you buy the Axxcess steering wheel kit? Do these buttons work for any other mode?

I dont know of your specific configuration, but this is what I am experiencing with a AVH-P8400bh/CD-IV202A/iPhone 5:

 

 

So, first of all, a huge thank you to Mike for this development. I had to join after seeing the last post.

 

I have a VW and have a similar issue with steering wheel controls.

 

What

is interesting is that my steering wheel controls work with the

"Bluetooth Audio" function from the radio, but not when using the iPhone

5 with the CD-IV202AV, lightning cable and the lightning to VGA

adapter.

 

I never had an iPhone 4 connected to "advanced app mode"

before upgrading the radio firmware to support the new cable/iPhone 5

to know if the steering wheel controls worked with the car media player

or other media players, but the forward/back buttons do not work on an

iPhone 5 when "advanced app mode" is active.

 

I am curious if the

reason that the steering wheel controls are not working is because when

using the iPhone 5 with the CD-IV202AV the audio is being transmitted

via Bluetooth and the radio is not responding to the steering wheel

controls because the radio is expecting when "Advanced app mode" is

enabled that steering wheel controls related to appradio functions are

coming from "iPod control" not Bluetooth.

 

Summary, Bluetooth with

steering wheel controls works with "Bluetooth Audio" source function,

but not when in appradio/advanced app mode on iPhone 5 with CD-IV202AV.

 

Can

any iPhone 4S/4 users confirm that steering wheel controls work for

appradio/advanced app mode? If steering wheel controls do work, and if

there is nothing that Mike can do on his side, then this may mean that

Pioneer may need to update the firmware of units using an iPhone 5 with

the CD-IV202AV which forces the audio to be transmitted via Bluetooth.

 

Thoughts?

 

 

Also, i did talk to Pioneer today and they confirmed that my assumption was correct...

Now that's information that would have been useful in your first post.
