The one thing I've noticed, which may or may not be fixable, is when you switch from an app back to the appradio main menu, it has to reload as if you were just plugging the phone in. Any fix for this?

It takes forever.

 

Yes, I should be able to fix this in a future release. Killing the app was a workaround for a previous issue that has been fixed. Never tried changing it back.

 

I just opened BiteSMS on my appradio, and when it switched to landscape, it looked like this.....

...

Any ideas? Is it just BiteSMS? Mail worked fine in landscape, as did Messages.

 

I'll download it and take a look. Should be an easy fix.

 

Everything was working well with beta3 on my iphone4 with appradio2. The beta7 and rc1 have slowed things down to a crawl. Even the supported apps.

 

Can you be more specific with "slowed things down to a crawl"? Launching apps? The menu? Literally everything? Just trying to narrow it down so I know where to start looking.

On iPhone 4s and appradio2 everything works beautifully. Thanks again mike

Hey Mike RC package works GREAT, beta 5,6,7 were causing me all kinds of issues.

 

So here are something I have noticed.

 

- Much more responsive and faster!

- When I press the home button while in WAZE, NAV Free no welcome video anymore :)

- When I come out of an unsupported app (press the black bars) the hello iphone video always loads (not a big deal and only happens on unsupported apps) won't go back to app screen.

- Small thing, I think it was in beta 3 or 4 when i pressed the Siri button the bluetooth screen wasn't there. Now when i press Siri the bluetooth screen comes in and covers half the siri screen. I know it's not huge but I use Siri a lot and if you could fix this that would be awesome!

- Love the Home app you put it (I guess there is no way to make that landscape is there?) I use this for Pandora.

- On Pandora is there any way you can get Pandora to show up on the apps screen when it's selected on the more apps from settings.

- I have tried it on the more apps, and forced out put and I still get nothing???

 

Great work.

I have an Appradio2 with an iphone 4, OS 4.1.1

 

With the beta3, Everything was working well as expected.

 

When I upgraded to Beta7 and RC1. They both were about the same for me and caused the following issues:

 

1. When I open the Google Maps app (the Pioneer supported app), I was unable to drap the map using the touchscreen, unable to pinch zoom in or out. If it did work, there was a major delay

 

2. When I open any other supported map app (Waze or Intrix), I am unable to swipe, pinch zoom, or anything of the sort. When it does accosionally work, it is slow or there is a major delay.

 

3. When I attempt full iphone control, using the new HOME icon. I cannot swipe to scroll through the home screen.

 

4. The keyboard inputs have slowed down drastically.

 

5. When I do try to open a menu within an app, there is a major delay.

 

These are some of my problems.

What do you mean by "bluetooth screen"?

I updated RC2 to support SBRotator, another app in Cydia. It allows the springboard to display in landscape mode.

 

- On Pandora is there any way you can get Pandora to show up on the apps screen when it's selected on the more apps from settings.

Pandora automatically shows up in my AppRadio app menu. It doesn't show on yours?

I'll do some testing with my iPhone 4 tomorrow. It's running 5.1.1 though. I have no way to go all the way back to 4.1.1.

Posted Sep 13, 2012 · 07:24 UTC#457

when i try to install rc1 it gives me: dpkg requires superuser privileged code: 512 ??? this happens when i click install in ifile.

Hi Mike, just installed Beta 7 and amazingly I dont get a black screen on unsupported Apps any more !! Thats awesome. I do have a little problem there. In any unsupported App i can not scroll up or down. Touchscreen does work but not scrolling. Also what i have noticed that if I want to rearrange/move the Icons in the Advanced App Mode it doesnt let me do it any more. Might be connected to the scrolling problem. Any Idea on how to fix that ?

 

Keep up the great work man !! Ur the best !!!

 

Cheers Goofy

Sorry you are right, I meant to say iphone 4 with 5.1.1.

 

Also I did some more testing. I used iheartradio on a regular basis with beta3. Now it does not pick up touches. Any app that requires a side swipe does not work, like the weather app when you are swiping over to the next city.

 

Thank you very much for your hard work.

Swipe gestures are in the list of known issues. Working on it.

Can you take a look at your phone while controlling it using the AppRadio screen? Does the phone run at normal speed and the AppRadio run slow?

The objects on the screen move at normal speeds. I tried this for example with angry birds. The objects of the screen tend to stutter but the iPhone screen is moving at normal speeds.

 

One thing I keep noticing is that touch events are now absent in certain unsupported apps. For example, I used iheardradio with beta3. With beta7 and rc1 it no longer accepts touch events off the appradio2.

 

Also with supported apps. Especially the pioneer supported google maps and intrix apps. Multitouch, pinch zoom is no longer possible. These two apps are inconsistent with touch input on appradio. There is also issues with scrolling the map.

 

iPhone 4 os 5.1.1 with appradio2

 

Thanks for all you have done with this app.

First, THANK YOU very much for the time and work you put in this project.

Now I would like to know if AppRadio Extension 2.0 will support both iOS 6 and iPhone 5 (as soon as iPhone 5 get out of jail).

And an other thing, what is the difference between AppRadio and AppRadio 2?

 

Thanks

The i5 wont work on the App Radio because there is no more video out from the dock connection.

Then I will wait for a pioneer hardware uptade to support the i5.

Not with this unit. Maybe on the next unit if ever. Video out is now only support through Airplay and to my knowledge there is no remote control protocol with Airplay like there is with the Dock Connector. That means control from the screen is likely over for good or at least for a while.

Well maybe not then.

 

 

I searched all over to try and find an answer to this...

this is what I found in macworld.

 

"As with the 30-pin connector, the Lightning connector supports video output; Apple told Macworld that Lightning-to-HDMI and Lightning-to-VGA cables will be available “in the coming months.â€"

 

found from: http://www.macworld....ns_for_you.html

 

also from : http://www.trustedre...cables-incoming

 

So the real question is, how soon will pioneer be able to research and engineer a cable that goes from the lightning port to our radios?

 

Also, I wonder, if I were to take the lightning cable that came with the iphone, plug it into the usb port that the iphone cable plugs into, then take a male-male headphone cable and plug it into the other female cable attached, would THAT work? Just wondering... I doubt it, but what if...

 

Also found here: http://avic411.com/i...we-know-so-far/

 

From what we currently understand, the iPhone 5, with the 30 pin adapter and the current cable from pioneer:

  • Will support audio iPod output.
  • Will support audio out apps (like Pandora)
    • Might support controls (thumb up, thumb down, next, etc)

    [*]Will NOT support video iPod, video app, or Enhanced App Radio functions.

 

I think I feel a little better now.

Just a crazy thought. I realy wounder what will happen if u get the Iphone 5 hooked up to the HDMI Port of the Appradio. That could be very well a sollution to alot of Problems. HDMI is fully digital (correct me if i´m wrong). To take this a litte further, I wonder if we would be able to mirror the hole phone onto the Appradio2 via HDMI. It has been done with XBoxes, etc,.. and over at XDA Developers they just managed to mirror Android Phones though the HDMI Port.

 

Anyone any thoughts on that ??

Hi Mike

 

My appriciation is too little in front of what you have presented in shape of AppRadio Extensions, but I am here to appriciate your working (cheers...). Just want to let you know that I am using this with my Pioneer AVH-P8400BH. and its working great. Since this project is in its Beta so I can understand few bugs. One thing which I have noticed is iPhone heats up while using it in APPRadio Mode and the other thing is while receiving phone calls notification alerts do not work, can you please have a look on these

 

Thanks

The iPhone heating up is a known issue with the way Pioneer/Apple designed the video out. The iPhone screen has to be on in order to display the app on the head unit. I've been messing around with toggling the brightness of the screen when plugged in but nothing is included in the Extensions yet.

http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/32028-is-anyone-elses-appradio-cooking-their-iphone/

 

I don't have the 8400 but I assume when you get a phone call, the built in call screen is displayed. I am only able to show notifications over the iPhone apps. You won't see them when any of the screens built into the firmware are displayed (including Pandora).

hey Mike, when I use netflix the video plays smoothly on my 8400 but when I use other video streaming such as Directv Sunday Ticket the video on the phone is smooth but a little choppy on the 8400. Is there a setting for this or is this something between the extensions and Sunday Ticket app?

My guess:

The Netflix app supports external displays (TV out), so video plays natively on the headunit. The Directv Sunday Ticket app most likely doesn't support TV out (I know the Optimum app doesn't), so when the video is playing it's using the mirroring feature built into the extensions to show the video on the screen. At the moment, the mirroring component in AppRadio Extensions doesn't have a good frame rate. Hopefully I can fix this at some point.

I'm confused on how to get this to work): I have the appradio extensions the cydia hack and all the dependencies instlled but it wont work): I get to the app screen and it shows the apps i've listed to be able to control but when I go to the app it wont let me control them, it just shows the red no touch thing in the top right:(

Posted Sep 17, 2012 · 23:33 UTC#474

Where did you download App Extensions from?
