I have not contacted them yet. But I've been experimenting with the problem the last few commutes to work. I started downloading some appradio apps to the phone for shits and giggles to see how/if they would work with this unit.

The past two mornings, I did not experience the issue if I launched pioneer carmediaplayer and then plugged in the phone to the avic. I did have the switching problem in the afternoon commute though. I cannot figure what exact behavior causes this issue.

Has the issue returned for you chitown?

nope, no problems try this : Go to settings- AV settings- set AV-1 for ipod. set Apps for wired! this is the setup that im running and it seems to be working without any hicups .

I have used those same settings when I experienced the issue.

I did not experience the issue this morning though. I'm hoping that it stays that way.

kool I hope it works for you and it stay that way, have you change out the splash screen yet??

mossberg any problems with the deck,??so i havent had any more problems with mine, not sure what could have been the cause of the problem??

It's been working fine lately other than occasionally needing to disconnect and reconnect my iPhone. I also can't seem to control Inrix through the advanced app interface, but google maps works fine.

The last two days, I did not get the source switching out of Pandora problem.

The problem returned this morning.

After I disconnected and reconnected the iphone, I didn't have the problem for the rest of my trip to work.

This is frustrating, since I cannot pinpoint the exact behavior that causes the issue. I did just update to the latest version of the AppRadio App last night on my iphone, but I don't notice any changes.

i also just did that update for appradio app. i did not notice any difference/or improvements with it. my radio just started acting up again, theres time when i select the panadora app on the radio it will not communicate with phone , it seems as it goes into a thinking

mode and never sends the message to the phone, so i have to kill the pandora app on the phone and start from scratch and after the third time it will work...i belive that there might be a conflick with os in the radio. boy it sucks that i have to get stuck this headache.

I am still having the issues, and it's getting to the point of being a safety hazard. I find myself constantly having to fiddle with the radio and/or iphone while driving since this problem started, which is dangerous. Yesterday, while driving and listening to a Playlist on iPod mode, the radio would just randomly pause itself several times and go into app mode.

I also am having an issue where Inrix traffic cannot be controlled by the screen on the X940BT. The Google Maps app I can control from the screen just fine though.

I've decided that my radio is most likely going back to Crutchfield this weekend. This thing is too big of a distraction. I want to be able to plug in my iPhone and select a source and simply leave it alone. This radio in its current state does not allow this.

New install 2 days ago... Getting same problem... ANy updates?? I purchased from Amazon and will be returning if this keeps happening which I suspect it will. Mine is doing it when I'm simply listening to music on my iPhone 4s... Screen goes into the all black app mode and stops playback. I have to switch back to resume play. I have about a 15 minute commute to work and it happened twice!!! Ughhhh

No solution yet. Mine also does it in iPod mode like yours does.

Well, I traded mine for a Clarion NX602. The Nav system on this unit KILLS the Pioneer! I absolutely love the 3d buildings and it is just more intuitive overall. I do miss the app functionality, but the only app I really used was Pandora (which the Clarion has Pandora integration anyway). I also wish that there was a larger user base for Clarion, so I can browse wonderful forums like this. It seems there are no Clarion forums.

The funny part about it is that the X940BT started acting properly only after I ordered the Clarion. The last few days with the Pioneer were trouble-free. Go figure.

So far (day 2), I'm happy with my choice to switch units.

Just picked up this 940. I thankfully do not have this issue, but I am using a iPod Touch 4. Pandora plays and does not switch. But Pandora sucks and I use Slacker. For Slacker - USUALLY I get the album art. Occasionally its missing but most of the time its there.

Bought 940 from Amazon. I also have the Pioneer iPod cable with factory packaging, also from Amazon. No issues.

AppRadio is another story, but I will make another thread...
