Constant FREEZING issues with CarPlay? (Appradio4)


Recommended Posts

Just got a Appradio4. Updated firmware (1.08). New iPhone 6 (iOS 8.2). My maps app freezes consistently. Usually within minutes of usage on my appradio, my maps will free up, and the radio will become 100% unresponsive to any touch. This is while in Carplay mode.
 

When I unplug my phone during this, the radio will exit carplay and my normal features work on the headunit, but if I try to plug my phone back in, I cannot get back into carplay. The only way to get back is to reset my phone completely.
 

To rule out, I have tried 2 iPhones so far. Same issue. Both latest software.
 

Does anyone else have consistent freezing and unresponsive issues? I contacted pioneer and they claim they are unaware of ANY reports, (which sounds misleading). I'm just trying to figure out this thing because this radio can be amazing if Carplay didnt freeze as much :(

I had contacted Pioneer about the AR4 crashing while trying to use CarPlay. This was also on 1.08, but with the previous iOS. They could not duplicate the error, although I had experienced it several times. Perhaps it was a different error than you have experienced because the radio itself became almost unresponsive. It would take a minute just to register a command. The only way to fix it was to turn off the ignition and turn the car back on. I may remedy that by placing an inline switch somewhere so that I can force the head unit to reboot even if I'm driving. 

 

I installed iOS 8.2 yesterday and used CarPlay and Maps this morning. All worked well during my 30 minute commute. This is also with an iPhone 6.

Very interesting. The only thing I can think of is possibly the restore I did on my iPhone, which was a restore from an old iphone. Maybe it's corrupt? I'm going to do a clean install on my iPhone and give it a shot. This is consistently happening and I cant do anything in Carplay without expecting a freeze up. I'll report back after I try this.
