I'm occasionally getting the same "small screen" issue in Waze that some others have reported in Navigon. It seems to occur when I do something with the phone itself, like use the phone's touch screen or turn the phone on it's side (i.e. to landscape). Not sure which. I've also been getting the keyboard appearing on the phone rather than on Appradio sometimes in Waze.
Otherwise the new beta 17 is working great for me! Thanks Mike!
I'm on Appradio 2, iPhone 5, ios 6.1.2.
Xa4 how do you like Navigon? Drive X took me to a non existant In N Out today
I use iPhone satnav daily for work, that's why I bought the da100, and I've tried almost every satnav on ios, tomtom wins hands down, just need it to be full screen and were in business
I installed SBRotator 6, but I can not understand how it works. Sometimes I turn the spirgboard sometimes not. Can you tell me how should I set it?
That's so weird. I have an iPhone 5 and a Z150 (and latest official release of appext)...the left side of my screen is a little off while the right side is spot on (in landscape). I can actually fully use it except for any button presses needed on the extreme left side of the screen.
Also, LOVE the home button now, works perfectly. It's so much better than pressing the black bars, for me anyways.
Lastly, the scrolling/dragging is working great too. Before, I couldn't move the map around in Radarscope. Now, it works like a charm.
Mike, any way to get the black bars removed (or at least have it as an option) to take full advantage of the screen now that the home button will do the same?
I'll look into different sizing options (stretch, fill, etc).
I have an Iphone4 5.1.1(JB) with
AppRadioExtensions_2.0.0.deb
AppRadio app v2.1.0
Can I use with an Iphone4 5.1.1(JB)
AppRadioExtensions_2.1.0_Beta17.deb
AppRadio app v2.3.0
The beta versions do not work with iOS 5.
Mike also with this version I get NAVIGON in a really small version on the appradio, first it works but when I push navigate it became smaller.
Hope you can sorted it out
Thanks!
I'll look into it.
Hi All,
Just wanted to add this to the official forum thread for AppRadio Extensions that with the latest beta on Mike's repo I was able to get my iPhone 3GS working with my AppRadio 1 (SPH-DA01). The trick was to install the Resupported tweak to enable the video signal to be transmitted to the AppRadio. I'm now using my 3GS as a dedicated device for the AppRadio instead of replacing the head unit now that I'm using the iPhone 5. I've setup data tethering to the 3GS which also shares GPS data. My only issue is getting the mirroring function to display full screen. As of right now, the mirrored screen is small and centered, but touch is working.
Also, to comment on the above, Waze is hands down my favorite navigation app. It's free, actually works with the AppRadio natively even though it's not officially supported and the live traffic/police/incident notifications as well as other social features are invaluable.
It's most likely mirroring small because I didn't add support for the 3GS screen resolution. I'll add it to the next beta and we can go from there.
I installed SBRotator 6, but I can not understand how it works. Sometimes I turn the spirgboard sometimes not. Can you tell me how should I set it?
There are still bugs with SBRotator. It's on the todo list.
Mikedecaro, have you used the app AssistantLove? It's from Cydia, not from the App Store. It extends Siri's capabilities. One of the best ways it extends Siri is that in the settings for the app you can tell it which GPS app you use (Google Maps, Wazy, TomTom, Navigon, Motion-X, Motion-X Drive, or Motion-X Drive HD) and when you ask Siri for directions it will open the directions in the navigation app you have specified. This is perfect for using in the car with your AppEx!!
Note that I do not have an App Radio. I have the AVH-X5500BHS so I don't know if you can recreate my problem or not. The problem I'm having is that when I use Siri through Advanced App Mode on the radio and tell it where I want directions to it opens Navigon properly on my phone and starts directing me, but the screen on my radio stays black after I tell Siri where I want to go. I have to double-click the home button on my phone and open the AppRadio app back up on the phone. Then the main app screen opens on my radio and I press the button on the radio for Navigon and it opens Navigon on the radio and it is already in progress giving me directions.
This is SO CLOSE to an amazing solution. If only after I use the Siri button on my radio to tell it where I wanted to go if the radio would open Navigon since Navigon is now open on my phone. Even if the radio went back to the main App Mode screen after Siri would be better than having to click stuff on the phone itself.
Anyway, if you haven't checked out the app AssistantLove I definitely recommend you do.
As of now, apps can only be launched via the AppRadio app. The mirroring is triggered only when you press on an icon in the menu. I may be able to do something to fix this, but I can't promise anything.
I have bene using the AR3 in my car for two solid days and it is great (with APPEX) The only APPEX issue I am having is in the Pioneer screen sometimes and much less than in my video it takes several swipes to scroll screens. The only other request I have is being able to move icons and for them to stay. If I could do that I could have my most used apps on page one and not need to scroll.
Thanks!

I have an iPhone 5 and an X950BH (which is basically the same as you except for a slightly smaller screen). I too have an issue with the left side. I find if I tap it just left of the button or whatever should be tapped, it will respond. Only app that was a bit quirky for me was Google Maps. If I typed in a search and needed to tap the space bar on the bottom, the whole app quits and returns to the home screen. I found that if I just tap it slightly above the space bar, it would accept it as a space and not restart the app. I have yet to try the X and Y adjustments in AppEx. I'm not sure if that will fix the left and bottom issue but I will give it a shot tomorrow. Overall, I jumped a few betas to get to 17 and it appears to be much better than the previous beta with the previous AppRadio app. It feels like Mike is almost there but what makes it challenging is the fact that the AppRadio appears to be a bit different from model to model and especially with the AVIC NAV units compared to the SPH series.
Out of curiosity, does Car Browser, Motion X, or Best Parking load on your Z150? None of those apps will even load on my X950BH and those are "supported" apps. It's amazing that w/AppEx I can almost get Google Maps to work completely with NAV instructions but the supported apps won't even load. The apps that do work for me are Car Media Browser, CommuteWX, Inrix, and Waze.
sometimes my appradio does not recognize my iPhone and I need to restart with little button near microsd and some of settings reseted after that... or of acc and wait
how can I restar my head unit with another way?
sry for my bad english )

It's usually better to cycle your iPhone (turn it off and back on), instead of reset your head unit 
Mike,
New issue with Beta17 that I haven't encountered in previous releases. My ability to switch audio sources while within AppRadio mode and within apps within AppRadio mode has been removed on my AVH-X5500BHS. iPhone 4S on 6.1.1 / AppRadio 2.3.0
Previous to Beta17 I could hit the "SRC" button to move between iPod audio, Digital Radio / AUX / Bluetooth / Disc. That button doesn't function any more within AppRadio mode but works as it should when I'm just at the radio screen. Also, I used to be able to start iPod audio before launching AppRadio mode and it would continue to play after I got through the "Warning" prompts when launching AppRadio mode. That stopped working as well. Please advise. 
@BigDonVincenzo: Non of this should have anything to do with AppEx. Again AppEx only alters the way the App radio app functions and has nothing to do with the unit. What you are describing are unit functions. Try removing AppEx and restarting your phone and report back what happens.
I'll give it a try and let you know.
Great thanks!
Also, on the unsupported app, "Google Maps", I can't get pinch/zoom to work but everything else works (panning, entering text, etc.) minus the offset issue. Was curious if you had the same results.

I tried the Best Parking app and it didn't work. It only loaded on the phone's screen, only got a black screen on the radio. I haven't purchased Motion X or Car Browser so I didn't try those.
I also have the same problem as you with Google Maps. I can pan, enter text, etc. I just can't pinch to zoom. I'm not sure if the Z150 even has multi-point touch capability. However, I can still zoom in/out in Google Maps if I double-tap and then drag my finger up/down on the map. That's also how I have to zoom in/out in the Radarscope app.

Thanks. I have the exact same issue with Best Parking. It loads on the phone but not on the radio. As for pinch to zoom, it should work on the Z150 as INRIX Traffic allows me to pinch/zoom. I wasn't aware of the double-tap so I'll try that with Google Maps.
Thanks again for your help!
Help! I had to get my iphone 4s replaced because wifi was not working and before on the old 4s the calibration was perfect, now in messages I hit space bar and it throws me back to the main screen. Seems like the left side and the middle is semi on point, but the whole right side is completely out of calibration. I don't understand I went from one 4s to another why is this happening now? Im using the same version of app radio ext, the newest one. I have tried to mess with calibration settings but it seems like a longshot finding a perfect tune as it seems certain buttons in the messages are scaled differently if that makes sense. like the s button has a smaller touch radius while another key might have double or triple that. Or for example if some keys are already calibrated if I was to mess with X Y axis I might could fix the others while messing up the ones that already work. My settings are at default 1 and 1 btw. Hope this helps im on Appradio 1 and iphone 4s verizon
Mike,
I am also having some trouble with the calibration of the buttons on right / left of the screen. I have an avh-8500bhs is it worth my playing around with the multiplier x / y settings?
If there is anything I can do to help you in testing for the issue let me know, I can take a youtube vid of exactly how much the screen is out of sync for example.

You're right. Turned out not to be an issue with AppRadioExtension like you said. When I disconnected my battery and after restoring all my settings I missed "App Sound Mixing," which was set to "off" 
Hi! Sorry If hvis has been asked before, but when I try to install the beta, it wants to uninstall the cydia app Dimmer. Is that to be expected? Thanks!

You shouldn't have to modify the X and Y for the 4S on an AppRadio 1. That's the same set up I'm using.

I'll contact you directly about this so we can figure out. I don't think I've tested on that head unit yet.

Someone reported an incompatibility with Dimmer and I haven't checked out the problem yet. For now, they don't work together.
Any one tried already the update of AppRadio 2.4.0 with appex??? Every thing still working ??
It works just fine.
Hi mates
My Iphone 4 iOS 6.1.3, JB rebooting and switching to safe mode once i connect to app radio 2, anyone can help with this issue please
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HELP
With my AVIC-X950BH, I tried to run Safari and it loads but only in portrait mode. Landscape is not forced like Google Maps for example. However, if I tilt the phone itself to lanscape mode, then it will mirror on the radio. Not sure why Safari doesn't work but Google Maps does. Second thing, if you run a video from say ESPN, you can't get out of it like on the phone. I can't figure out a way to get back to the prior page unless I do it on the phone itself.
Two other questions:
1) I forgot what Forced Mirror is used for.
2) The on screen keyboard for either Safari or Google Maps is off to the left and up a bit. Will the X Y switches compensate for the offset? I haven't had an opportunity to try it yet but figured I'd ask while I was here. May answer my own question later this week when I get a chance to play around with it.
Overall I'm impressed to see that I can now use Safari as Car Browser won't even load on the AVIC units. With the exception of Car Media Player and a few other apps, it appears the unsupported apps work better than the supported apps (at least on the AVIC series for me).
Greetings,
After reading through the posts using the search term "bypass", I am a little confused about what I need regarding the parking brake bypass. I have a iPhone 5, App Radio 3, with AppEx beta 17 installed. I purchased a 4 wire relay from Ebay, but no car audio shop will install it as "that would be illegal and I could get fired"--which I realize is unfortunately true, but frankly I have no desire to take out the head unit (again). So one car audio shop suggested purchasing a toggle switch at Radio Shack. So today I purchased a toggle switch and "cut" the green wire to my parking brake which was easily accessible on my FJ in the center console. So currently I have "green wire coming from head unit, then attached to the toggle switch, then remaining green wire from toggle switch to parking brake". Is this correct? So I toggle it "on"--what should happen? I still seem to get some of the app radio 3's annoying warning screens. On the AppEx settings, I have the App Radio and Pandora Bypass Settings to "accept"--is this correct w/ my set up? I saw where some folks in older posts had their green wires going to "ground" and not to the parking brake at all--I didn't think I could do that on an App Radio 3. Just looking for some clarification.
thanks,
D
