Has anyone had any luck having an iPod Classic connected to the 2nd USB port.. AND the iPhone 5 kit connected.... AND be able to see both the iPod Classic and iPhone 5 in advance appmode? I have iPhone 5 working great with AdvApp Mode. But when I reset the unit because it was not seeing the iPod Classic... it changed the AppMode setting to OTHERS vs iPhone AV Digiital. I got it changed back to AV Digital, but it wont see the iPod Classic now. Do I have to have the iPOD cable kit from Pioneer for BOTH to work... or will there just be too much conflict? I am thinking it may just b

On my AVH8500, I like to have SiriusXM always playing off the bat when I get in the vehicle. I always connect my iPhone 5 to the unit with the AppRadio app ready to pair up. However when I do this, it automatically switches to USB2 (my iPhone). Then I have to switch back. One of the things that drove me nuts with the AppRadio 2 was the constant need to touch screen through a series of "ok" and prompts before I could get music playing. So its a little disappointing that the AVH8500 goes from a playing source to telling me the iPhone 5 is connected but nothing to play back on it.

Any update on this? I have AVH8500, and a 2.5" 7200rpm 750gb Seagate Momentius I used to use in a Macbook pro. I formatted as FAT32. I used the MixTraxx app on my MAC to load in my iTunes library, and it took a couple days but it fully analyzed all 33k+ songs. I then synchronized the full library to my hard drive. Excited to connect to my AVH8500 and nothing showed up. I am using an extension cable from the back of the unit into the glove box. When installed at Best Buy they connected an iPod and it was able to see and play just fine. So I think the cable is fine, but I am ponderi

Maybe this will help clarify. Apple supports Audio and Video CONTROL over bluetooth. That is not the same as pushing video from the iOS device to the external display. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Bluetooth has a video output profile/protocol called VDP, but I do not know of a single device that supports or uses it. Most likely because the bandwidth capacity for BT is ~3mps. You would be severely limited as to the quality of video output, not to mention audio and control data sharing that same connection. BT is also fairly battery intensive.

If it connects via WiFi then its using Airplay

Android devices do not support video over Bluetooth either. They push video via a Kit that includes HDMI.

Here are my top favorites and why: iGo may seem costly; however it is awesomely powerful. When I got home to my parents there is a good hour I am void of any 3G or 4G coverage. iGo has provisions to keep maps available for 'Offline" use. Which means it just your GPS and the screen. Works wonderfully and is so accurate it is almost scary! I just did the $24.99 version from the AppStore and then bought the AppRadio add on for $35. That purchase also gets you a year of 2 of the other service add-ons. So its best to go that route. iHeart is getting better and better as they work through

There are 4 options: (Note: Bluetooth Phone mode will work with all 4 options. Therefore I have not included it with each option.) iPhone 4/4S with stock 30 PIN connector: Both the embedded iPod/Pandora and Advanced AppRadio Modes will work. 100% of the apps available for AppRadio will work with this configuration. iPhone 5 with stock 30 PIN connector + 30PIN to Lightning adapter: Only the embedded iPod/Pandora apps will work. No advanced AppRadio Mode. Therefore 0% of the apps available for AppRadio will NOT work with this configuration. But if you are only after the 7" screen and

I had this issue with my 4S/30 pin setup. Spent weeks and months with Pioneer to resolve the issue. I found a solution myself. You need to leave the AppRadio app up at all times, including when Pandora is running, Pandora will work just fine on the AppRadio. What I found was the AppRadio unit kept trying to launch the AppRadio app, even while in Pandora mode. So the black screen is the units change in channel. I hope it helps!

Hi RCHarris, Try the following and see if it helps. 1) delete the iPhone for the phone menu on the AppRadio and then re-pair the Bluetooth connection. It will take a couple minutes for the contact and phone book data to sync so give it a few to complete. 2) delete the AppRadio App on your iPhone and reinstall it. Make sure you launch it before connecting and select your country, select your wallpaper, setup social networking, etc... If you do #1, it's best to do this between the delete and re-pairing 3) be patient I between switching your apps and returning home to the AppRadio sc

If you use apps like mixtrax and i heart and switch to navigation and loose your music audio, this double tap home and press play restarts the audio from the last playing appradio music app.

I have wrote SiriusXM and Pionerr both to try and work together to extend the SXM app to the AR. The sound is great and you can mirror the SXM app to the AR so your passengers can see the station and info. But it is very tiny for just glancing and reading. The font is really small. Even if the SXM just pushed a landscape display to external display screens with full sized text it would be awesome. I could deal with occasionally going to the iPhone to change station which is very easy with preset favorites

Delete your AppRadio App on your phone and make sure you launch it on your iPhone 5 before connecting it the first time to your AR. You will want to select the country and let the compatible apps pages all load before you connect up. Also you may eant to delete your iPhone on the AR Bluetooth and pair it over again and let the contacts and such all sync & connect. Are you seeing the Bluetooth icons in the upper right of the Apps button on the AR main screen?

I like Waze, especially since it works with iPhone 5 and AR2 setup. But it's sort of clunky and I don't really want all the social crap. So I have been looking at others. I used motion X for a whole but my 1 year expired recently. I hated how I had to use the iPhone to input everything and couldn't quickly swap to a destination on the AR2 itself. IGo looks pretty sweet because its professionally mapped and the maps are downloaded and updated locally. So if you end up in an out of coverage area, you can still get a map and GPS to navigate without needing a data connection. The downside
