Wow looks interesting, can't wait to see how this turns out.

ok so have been giving this a lot of thought and figured id post up on how to do this.

first you need to jailbreak you phone. Then buy the tv out or display out app from cydia,the mimics module drivers, sb rotator and landscapelock.

you need to then purchase the mimics module from mp3car.com or customgadz

if you want to keep the radio functions you will need the oem switcher module they are fairly cheap and can be found on both sites.( not required if you just wanna use the the unit as a screen and touch panel)

once the module arrives you need to open up the unit and locate the touch ribbon and remove it, insert the ribbon into the module and find a way to secure it to the inside of the panel, then take the barrel connector and cut it off and strip the wires and solder the positive and negative to the radio harness positive and negative wires.

Not really worth destroying your app radio then if it is in warranty, since this is then a hardware solution it is basically useless and destroys a good unit, it is fine with just a touch screen unit but not the app radio, hence fail

And there may be a software only solution on the way, depending on how much I figure out over the weekend.

You can do it Mike!!

My money is on you!

Please keep us updated with your progress.

Hey mike, if there's any hardware you don't have, or you need others to test things for you, let us know. I'm sure you could find some people on the forums here willing to donate for a worthy cause

Mike if you want to start a little donation via paypal to help in your efforts I am sure most people could chip in, I will give you the price of two pints of guinness here in Ireland €10

Don't forget Serhy that have done a great work too !!!!

but i join the same point of view

This looks very promising...I can't wait so check it out.

Funny that you only have 2 posts on the entire board, and you liken mike's work to being an "Immitator", when the stated name of other methods is "mimics".

Trolls will be trolls, though.

friends, we are started donation for buy AppRadio2 unit to our test... come to hackradio.me website

Sorry to hear you give Mike that label. He is a nice and extremerly talented individual. Not nice. mimics copy pioneer functionality. Sorry for mistunderstanding.

Why don't they release a product and use profits to buy a hackradio 2?

some customers asked about appradio2 support... and for answer we need to look inside...

and final: we are need few weeks for small tricks like a force landscape and ect... basicaly all function work fine!

you will see soon our really Pro product...

p.s. not for Trolls

Just curious, could you use a piece of software like "Switcher Rotator" to force landscape?

Just a thought, though. Perhaps you had a different direction in mind?

I know you aren't a troll -- I'm eagerly awaiting the hackradio.me, I just feel like both Mike's work and the mimics solution (if that's what it is) will both be high quality products. I just don't think mud needs to be slung in either direction :/

we are working with mike for best results to hackradiome tweaks

This is great news ...

@hackradiome: Features:

Use AppRadio in two modes: Standart (AppRadio Advanced Mode) and HackRadio (Total iPhone Control)

@hackradiome: How it works: After install HackRadio pack you can use AppRadio's touchscreen as external touchscreen for your iPhone/iPod

@hackradiome: Installation is simply: Need to open your headunit and put HackRadio module inside (plug n play, no soldering cutting wires required), after that you need to install some HackRadio software from Cydia to your iPhone

@hackradiome: * Jailbreak Required

* *Tweaks Required: HackRadio, DisplayOut, SB Rotator

*** Cant use HandsFree (You can plug wired headset)

if you cant use the handsfree it defeats the purpose of this all together, whats the point if I cant use the bluetooth option, totally pointless, also this will invalidate your warranty on the app radio.

Okay you can control the iphone from the touchscreen great but loose functionality of one of the most important parts of the unit, the handsfree bluetooth option for safe driving.

Sorry but total fail, Mikes option is by far the better option as it leaves the functionality intact.

If your unit is out of warranty maybe otherwise not a hope.

Totally agree with you. And they want £130+ for us to loose Bluetooth... No thanks

i think you can't find software way many month after... (i mean with fast performance) and who knows, maybe we can find the way to use hands free and upgrade our firmware.... hehe
