Is there anyway to get this to work with an ipod touch 2g? I've tried getting the 1.8 appradio to install but it says it needs a later version of ios. I guessed if I could get this to work I could use appradioextensions_1.1.3-1?

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

 

Edit: Also, if I was to purchase a ipod 4g, would I be able to use a gps software like copilot and use the appradio 2 external gps antenna? (From what I've read, it should work, just to verify before I purchase one).

Is there a possibility that someone will develop an update so that the Appradio extensions will work with ios 7 and the latest Appradio firmware?

 

i have the SPH-DA210...i'll be honest, unless they do develop an update for appradio extensions, this unit sucks. i'm the type of person that uses an old iphone 4 - i keep it in the car hooked up to the appradio. i would much rather use my old iphone 5 and keep that in the car , BUT I have an iPhone 5s that I use and i can't seem to find a way to use my iphone 5 for playing music on the appradio AND connect my iphone 5s for hands free calling. seems like only one phone can be connected via bluetooth on it which is why i have to resort to using an iphone 4.

 

I'm really starting to be disappointed with this unit.   :(

Not sure where to begin.

 

The unit does what was advertised, it's not made by Mike, he for free released his app to us (thanks) and it works. If we upgraded before the ios7 app was ready we choose to go without it (wishing I waited)

Completely agree. The only reason I held back from making the jump to ios7 was because I knew I would lose Appex! Can't wait for the update!

I'm not sure if this was already a feature, but I'd like to ask and or request it.

 

I'd like to be able to play MixTrax app via Blue Tooth audio while the Lightening plug isn't plugged in. 

 

Right now if I try to play MixTrax, I get no audio at all.   I think the App Radio is trying to force it down the cable, and I can't play it even via iPhone speaker.   If bluetooth is enabled and connected the back end AppRadio takes over.

 

The reason I want this is, I use a battery case with micro USB charging.   I found myself using this more often than not, so I haven't been using the Lightening connectivity as often as I used to. 

 

So basically I'm looking for a way to disable the app radio connection while not plugged in via Lightning.   (and use generic blue tooth stereo only)

 

Is this possible for AppRadio Extensions to autodetect if we are plugged into lightning or now, and or fake out MixTrax to work?   It sux that I finally started liking MixTrax and now it doesn't work unless I take my iphone out of the battery case, and plug in lightning.

 

Has anyome addressed this issue? Streaming music without the lightihg cable is a must! Have you figured out how to play music using A2DP?

Hi. I am using appradio1 with an iPod 4g with the latest appradio extensions. Appradio app 2.5.0 and I'm running on ios6.1.5. Everything looks great. The only thing is that if I want to use an unsupported app then I have to open the app from the iPod before I connect it to the appradio and then it will work and have touch support on the unit. If I try to open an app from the unit while the iPod is connected then it freezes and resprings . Can anybody help me with this please??????? Your help would be much appreciated.

 

P.S thanks for all the hard work Mike

Hi Angosmyth,

I've got the same problem. I have an iPhone 4 on ios 6.1.3

Thank you Mike for your work on these bugs.

Hi Mike

 

I'm from south africa, just want to congratulate you on the awesome work. Extensions works flawlessly on my AVH-P8450BT (same as 8400BH).

Will be contributing very soon after my paypal account is verified and created.

 

Just a quick one...any news on the fullscreen tweak? That would make this absolutely awesome!!!

 

Thanks

Kris

Mike, Some of us are crafty and are running iOS 7.1 betas. Don't worry about testing your extension to run on the betas, but please make sure to allow them to install to a version that high once you launch your initial release for 7.0.4 please.

You don't have touch screen calibration issues in 8400? What is your configuration (IOS version, iphone, etc)?

Nope. No errors. Iphone 4S iOS 6.1. Latest app extensions and left as default y:1 x:1

 

However that being said, thr cable needed pressure when i inserted it into the iphone and didnt wanna work after a while. I battled 3 hours with it yesterday and finally opened the 30 pin connector of the interface cable that plugs into the iphone and i was horrified by the way this was soldered. No wonder it needed pressure since the workmanship on the cable was very poor. Of course now im stuck with no cable since about 5 of them have been disconnected. Does anyone have the wiring configurations or pinouts to get it working again? i have the wiring pinouts for the 30 pin apple connector, but need to match and configure with the 2 cables wires. it looks like one batch wires is for the video and audio and the other batch is for the usb power. Can anyone help? Or is it just gonna be beter to order cheap ones from amazon? I paid R800 for it here in south africa, which is about $80. To pay that much for a cable of inferior quality is not a good feeling. Any help? Kris

Anyone heard any more news about AppRadio Extensions for IOS 7??? He hasn't released any more status updates or an ETA. Anyone know if he is still working on it?

What "full screen tweak" are you talking about? Is it just your iphone displayed on the headunit like Extentions?

To run the apps in full screen. As in get rid of the black bars and fill the whole screen with the application. Check a couple of pages back. Everyone requests that as their top change that they would like to see.

This was post only 2 pages ago on 135, please read a bit before thinking you're the only one asking for this :-P

We are all eagerly awaiting to enjoy app radio extensions once again.

I was just at the CES in Vegas.  I brought up the problem of not being able to use MixTrax via A2DP to the head Pioneer guy there.   I even showed him via a real time demo.   It was a bitch to find pair my iPhone via bluetooth with 100's of devices around but I got it to work.   He was like wow I didn't know about this, and thanked me for reporting it.

In answer to my own questions a few pages back regarding iPods that nobody answered. Here is the information in case anyone else needs it. From what I've seen, it isn't possible to use app radio extensions with an ipod older than the 4g (need ios version 6+ which is only available from ipod 4g+). The 4g allows mirroring of apps using the 30 pin cable that comes with the radio. Non-supported apps work great (although they don't appear completely full screen even when horizontal). Great work Mike.

 

One thing I can't seem to find information about is using the app radio GPS with gps only applications (like copilot/TomTom) which doesn't require an internet connection to function. The app just says "no GPS connection" although if I go to radio settings it says "signal good".

The GPS thing is something I wondered about too, although it doesn't really matter when you have an iPhone coz the iPhone antenna works just fine. I think it is theoretically possible to use the app radio GPS though because AR liberator for android has that feature

Posted Jan 12, 2014 · 23:05 UTC#2050

That's the issue for me with an ipod, no built in GPS. It is possible on android as there as now several apps which can use the GPS functionality (AR Liberator, appradio unchained, ARUnchained GPS Injector). Is this feature implemented and it just isn't working for me, or is this something that hasn't been developed yet?

 

If it isn't developed yet, the same methodology used by the injector could help solve the issue (injecting mock locations from the radio to the ios device).
