Hi Everyone! Two days ago I decided to buy a Appradio :-), this morning I decided to install the Appradio Plus software and Igo 8 and it works like a charm! So keep up the good work everyone!

 

I also found out I have the latest 2.45 version and I'm running into the Time issue. It looks like the time will reset when the radio is shutdown and booted up again. Then the time in Win CE is reset to Jan 2009 12pm or something like that.

 

But, so far so good!

 

Greetings from the Netherlands!

4n, if you take Dejan's last igo version and the last version of sserhy, time is ok !!!!!

You just have to go to the settings of igo and in time setup, you disable all time synchronisation ( in 2 menus )

You adjust time simply, and everything stays correct in appradio time !!!

 

Second obs", carmediaplayer is displayed again now !!! cool

 

Guys ( Dejan & Sserhy ) you are doing a great work, please keep on that way !!!!!! it's fantastic !!!!!

 

AND NEXT THE SOUND PLEASE !!! I SEND YOU A VODKA, PROMISE ! :)

 

( i'm on 2.45 appradio firmware )

yonel, I'm on the versions you mention. The only difference is the timesync, so I'm gonna check this today.

 

For the sound, we probably have to check first if there is a sound device available for Win CE. I think the radio is a different device controlled by some parameters from the Win CE app. Also the iPhone sound out is directed to the radio's output. The volume is controlled by a device that also is controlled by some parameters from Win CE, that's the reason the volume buttons allways direct respond.

 

Those are my thoughts about it, I don't have any evidence for it.. yet ;-)

 

So a little checklist:

  1. Check if there is a sound device available for WinCE (I saw something about a AMD processor, maybe there is a SOC with sound support)
  2. Check if there are driveres available for WinCE
  3. Build a software version with sounddrivers
  4. Deploy :-)

Greetings!

4n, so i need your help too, because when i'm in windows CE, you're right, there is in panel config "no device sound" but in another place i have device sound, so maybe that's the diffrences you talked about....have too look that... :)

 

i've been discussing with Dejan about sound unavaibility, seems that's an official problem with that kind of systems ( windows CE with mips processor...even in microsoft official "technical" problems, there is a thread about this....hope there is a solution...

 

for the time, you can go on, sure it will work.

i don't remember because that didn't look important to me, but it's maybe only in windows CE that time is not ok....but there....it's not a problem, we don't see it in big size like in main screen of appradio :P

 

Anyway, thank you !!! you give me good advise, even if it's simple, i didn't think it that way :)

Hi yonel, I think the microsoft technical issue you mentioned, do not apply to our problem.. Cause there is no sound-device available.

 

Ok, to get back to my own checklist.

 

I went in to Win CE system properties and found out the mips proccessor is probably based on a AMD Alchemy SOC. http://developer.amd.com/documentation/articles/pages/616200624.aspx . Looking at the usage description on that page, the type we have is probably the AU1500. Google brings me to: http://datasheet.elcodis.com/pdf/49/42/494222/au1500-500mbd.pdf

 

That datasheet tells me, that a ac97 controller should be available. (the audio codec) So when I'm right, we just need to build the driver for it into the 2.45 firmware package and deploy it.. right?

really interesting, but have to look if we don't risk something wrong in use....

at least we can probably uninstall from "device list"... but we are one "step" maybe to make it work....or maybe to make it worst....to be honest , i'm a little affraid to try... but sure i'll do something....when i got more info...

( in some treads they talk that "nand" folder is the main folder of appradio system...maybe i will backup it, to be sure....( i was looking for a backup software that could run in the device....and backup in the sd itself...)

 

your links are very good infos

yonel, do you have the bug of black screen and small green dots when disconnect iphone during igo navigation?

Posted Apr 23, 2012 · 22:16 UTC#308

i didn't try it yet like that pistillo...

you mean while using igo from sd card, you disconnect the iphone...let me see the following days, i tell you.

 

if that happen, what did you do ? reset ?

Posted Apr 24, 2012 · 14:31 UTC#309

Appradio plus dont work in news 2.50, install sucessfully but all application (phone, radio, settings... Dont work) have a blackscreen

Posted Apr 25, 2012 · 21:54 UTC#312

if you uninstall app+ , does it work correct ? ( i mean in the poor original pioneer version ...)

Posted Apr 27, 2012 · 00:59 UTC#314

^ Is that version compatible with the new firmware? How about 2.45?

2.50

been lurking around for weeks trying to discern what the state of this appradio+ thing is. can someone quickly summarize (in English please) these things:

 

- how to install this? I'm on 2.50 already and I'm assuming I unrar the latest SD_AppRadio_plus_23_250.rar to the root of a microsd, boot, pop in microsd, press reset button and follow on-screen prompts?

 

- what does this buy me? major thing i want is for the parking brake prompt to go away when hitting apps button on main menu. will I get that functionality with this? i don't necessarily want to show video while driving but shouldn't hitting apps button from the main screen go to a list of currently usable apps, so only music and gps ones if car is moving, rather than throwing up a prompt you can't get past without parking? The CarMediaPlay app, when launched from iPhone goes to blank screen. can this fix that too?

 

your work is much appreciated. just trying to get a fix on how far the project has progressed.

I'm new to the appradio completely. Just got a refurb from best buy for $179 looked brand new. Cables all sealed etc. I upgraded to version 2.50, I had 2.19 I think. This took two microsd cards, one to upgrade boot stuff, then one for the appradio software. Then I had a third with appradio plus on it. I'm not sure if I installed appradio plus correctly. I put everything in root. The layout in the .rar was different then I put on the microsd. In the rar there was a folder appradio plus 23_250 etc, then under that was folder Appradio and 5 files. On the microsd card I put everything in the Appradio folder onto the root of the microsd along with the 5 files, so on the microsd there ended up being wallpaper,user,ce66,system,appl, folders, and then the 5 files from the top folder and another like 5 file from the appradio folder, so root of microsd had 5 folders and like 10 files. Not sure if I should of left appradio and the 5 files in the root of the microsd. Cuase it works but its very quirky. windows ce seems to pop up alot. seems like everything works though in the little time i've had to play with it. I can't seem to get a stylus to work and operating windows ce by touch is very finicky. Sometimes the windows ce, and pioneer software seem to be fighting over the same screen, like I'll see parts of both on the screen. I've been able to work everything Ive used so far though. One thing I dont understand about using dash command, mine plugs in via gopoint gl1 cable. If I have the appradio plugged in I cant plug in the gl1 adapter to get all the good data on the screen. Do they make a pass through cable so I can plug in both? Anyways I hope this helped some. If anyone knows if I put things wrong on the sd please let me/us know. Could be why mine seems a bit quirky.

Thanks

Mike

Hello! I am also from Russia ))

Unfortunately, I do not understand how to install AppRadioPlus.

Can the work of navigation, or the media player without the iPhone?

If there are people speaking in Russian, then be happy to talk!

 

Ð’Ñем привет! Я тоже из РоÑÑии ))

К Ñожалению, Ñ Ñ‚Ð°Ðº и не понÑл как уÑтанавливаетÑÑ AppRadioPlus.

Dmitry, app plus is easy to install

 

first you unzip the file.

file unziped, you have the main folder ( app plus" ) and in this main folder you have 7 or 8 file...something like that.

 

you copy paste all these 7 or 8 files in micro sd card, in root of sd card !!!

so that when you start appradio with micro sd card, system will understand directly to launch setup of app plus.

 

install the "setup" ( complete overwrite ) and let the setup install itself.

when finished, you turn off appradio ( just normal turn off, same as getting out of your car )

 

you wait 5 minutes, and pull out micro sd card, and restart appradio.

 

app + must be in system, you'll see simply the "ok" valid itself when it start.

 

you "re use" the sd card, ( erase all you've just used inside the sd...) and you can downolad igo

just create a main folder in sd card : "APL" and in this one, put igo...

 

just look the first video of this thread ;)

I'm happy that it help you, but thanks to Sserhy !!! he is the boss 8):idea::mrgreen:

in end of may, a new official firmware update will come....i don't know what will be "upgrade" exactly next time

 

the new available actual update (v2.5) improved the bluetooth...( i don't know what exactly but time connection between phone and appradio is correct now )

and when you use the "volume" fonction, you can use other fonction meanwhile...

and the pressing "home" button allow "easier" to get out of the app...

 

a little bit faster...but "old" good bugs are still there...

 

PS : Dmitry, don't forget when you go in "appradio plus" fonction....first of all, choose radio fonction, so that you don't have windows "volume" displayed in middle of appradio screen...( you'll see )

and one other important point...only "mips" versions of different software like "IGO" can be used in app+.... due to the "mips" cpu of the appradio ( even if it run windows ce...)

 

 

PS: Sserhy, did you prepare something new in the "kitchen" or you are waiting the end of the month, untill new release update ?

 

good luck guys !!!!

This is a considerable improvement over the factory firmware. Thank you for your hard work! I recommend it for anyone who made the mistake of buying the AppRadio.

 

Changes I'd like to see in AppRadio+:

 

1. Home button always takes you home, not to the list of apps.

2. Settings button takes you to the settings screen by default, not to the list of WinCE apps.

3. Ability to delete recent calls/phone book/missed call history.
