fruitbat04 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 You can check the AV adapter by changing the source to HDMI - It should then mirror your screen, although you'll obviously get no touch. Sometimes you need to force quit the app and relaunch. I find if I launch with Waze rather than the official app, it always works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gazpilot Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 You can check the AV adapter by changing the source to HDMI - It should then mirror your screen, although you'll obviously get no touch. Sometimes you need to force quit the app and relaunch. I find if I launch with Waze rather than the official app, it always works. Then I definately have a problem as I now get the mirrored screen with no touch. I've tried connecting with the app booted and without and the results still the same. As said earlier, I think appradio has a limited life so I'll stick with it as CarPlay works great and hopefully there'll be be compatible nav apps soon. Grant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PoobBubes Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just an FYI, you can get this on Amazon for around $527 right now from third party sellers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00OBSKRGY/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grant. I guess you can use Apple's Map application to do turn by turn directions. But I you said, it is likely more Car Play enabled applications are on the way...

JJJones Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Not sure if this helps but in order to use Appradio, dont you also need to install the Appradio app on your phone aswell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Not sure if this helps but in order to use Appradio, dont you also need to install the Appradio app on your phone aswell? Technically no. All Appradio apps run appradio mode independent from each other. So for example if the only appradio app you had any interest in was Waze, you could download waze and nothing else, and every time you open the Waze app it will display in appradio mode on the display, while nothing else will unless you are mirroring the display. Now if you want to go in with Appradio, the Appradio app is your center hub that the phone will go back to when you press the home button on the head unit. Personally I find Carplay to be what Appradio wishes it could have been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJJones Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I just tried out Appradio mode on my Appradio 4... Its pretty shit to be honest. Its laggy, slow, apps take forever to launch and the display seems to be very low quality? Worst thing is you have to use a big ass lightning to HDMI cable. I'll stick with CarPlay.

fruitbat04 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Is there a bug in messages? If you look at this video from about 8:00, you'll see that he clearly wants to check the message from his girlfriend, but it seems to start a new message using the previous text. I get this every time as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Markymark34 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Can someone please tell us how long the AR4 takes to boot up? Much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Markymark34 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks fruitbat! I had a couple more questions hoping someone could help out with. When powered up can the radio automatically pick up Bluetooth to stream audio or do you always have to select it? Anyone utilizing steering controls? Does it only work with a specific control unit or can you retrofit with exiting original manufacturer steering wheel controls? Thanks again for the time. Finally getting ready to pull the trigger on buying an AR since the 1st on was announced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJJones Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hey Mate, Yes, the unit will automatically play bluetooth audio at the last song position before you turned the car off. No need to press anything, it will connect and auto-play. Regarding steering wheel controls, i am using Axxess ASWC-1. Im pretty sure you can use any but i read that Axxess was one of the easiest to install/program so thats why im using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markymark34 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Much thanks JJJones! I am going to pull the trigger finally. Now if only carplay would utilize Waze instead of Apple map crap! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
