Thanks guys, I did ask them and I am sure they said they are required to do it by law, but I will ask him again on Sunday.

Yes that is the correct version. It won't work if you already have the American version of the same firmware loaded. You can't overwrite it. I had 4.14 so it worked. Yes FM still works. You can still listen to pandora but the display will be black on the appradio.

Are you sure about that? I have US 4.16 and i want UE 4.16...is there any way to downgrade to 4.14 and then upgrade to UE 4.16? Or any other way to put UE 4.16?

Once you have a version of 4.16 you can't change it to another 4.16. It says it is already updated. If you can find a lower version let us all know. Good luck

halfords uk fitted mine yesterday and sent the handbrake wire to the back of the unit, grounding it, no need for any bypass

yes, thank you. it has been covered about 7 or 8 times in this thread so far that euro units do not need a bypass...

Is it possible in any way shape or form, for a micro bypass to affect Bluetooth calling?  My DA100 has HORRIBLE reception (Bad static, and echoing)  and I'm trying to narrow down the culprit.  I've exchanged the deck for a new one, same problem... I'm thinking it could be my phone (GS3), or the micro bypass... any ideas would be great, thanks! 

It's not the bypass.

nope, have you tried a different phone to see if the problem still persist?

For what its worth I am using the Microbypass and it works without issue. For twenty bucks without having to use a potentially complicated programing proceeder it cant be beat. And according to the guy that runs this company, he is contracted by Pioneer to provide all the bypasses for their units at trade shows and gets the bypass info straight from them. He also offers a 5 year guarantee so if they do change something in firmware that renders the bypass useless he will replace it with an updated one for free.

could you post the link where you got it I'm going to go with the microbypass too y have a SPH-DA100

nevermind I found it

I sent an email to them and the 2013 microbypass will work according to them

The bypass does work. I had the old wiring from my AR2 in my truck when I installed the AR3. No issues what so ever so anyone upgrading just use your existing wiring.

I'm curious with those using the Microbypass, when you hit the app mode button, does it sometimes show the OK button greyed out? Causing you to exit app mode and start again?

It shows the greyed out button for 2 seconds then allows you to hit it and enter app mode. You dont have to exit appmode and re enter it.

I do. For me if I hit the app mode button too early after power up it is greyed out. I have to exit then reenter in order for the OK button to be available. I may contact Microbypass and have it replaced.

do you think that it is triggering it too early for the system, or do you think maybe you have a software glitch? or are you thinking that it just might be a intermittently defective bypass?

you said "sometimes", so if you try to go into app mode right away a bunch of times, does it do that (stay grayed out) every time, or just actually only some of the time.   if its all the time, then it probably is a problem with the timing being a little too short, but f it really is only some of the time, then it definitely could be either a bad bypass or a software glitch.

regardless, god I'm glad to have an AVIC with a pain in the ass bypass that just works. why the hell cant we just have the Kenwood/JVC/Sony/Jensen/almost every other brand kind of bypass?!?!?

I believe its triggering too early. If I wait about 10 seconds before hitting the app mode button it will work. If I go to app mode right away its greyed out. I just needed to know if others have the same behavior.

I'm thinking of getting the AppRadio 3.   Looks like this should do the trick.

(correct?best option?)

I see one glowing review saying it worked great on the AR3.  

The title even says "Better then PAC TR7"

Thats the one.

thats marketing. if he said that it was limited and couldn't do 10% of what a TR7 could do, no one would buy it...

it is definitely easier to install, so in that respect it is better, the TR7 is more versatile so it has many more uses than just bypassing a MV/nav system. 

I cannot get past this stupid screen.  I think the bypass I have is defective.  I just ordered another one.  Almost forgot, I am using an AppRadio2 with 8.30 firmware.

I found the bypass switch was bad.  I installed a toggle switch and it is working just fine now.  I still can't get the touchscreen to work for the phone though.  It mirrors just fine and I can navigate using the phone, but not the stereo.  Any suggestions?  I get the little finger with the x when trying to use the touchscreen.

Do you have the app radio app installed and opened?

If you are referring to the Pioneer App radio app, then no.  I came to understand that it is not required and actually discouraged by arliberator.  I did have the pioneer app installed at one point though along with the carkeyboard app.  Now I just use arliberator.  I've tried with both a droid bionic and a galaxy s4 with the correct mhl cable.  I did a lot of searching and found quite a few people with the same issue.  I really do hope it is something simple I'm missing.  I was thinking about doing a factory restor on the unit and then trying again.  That's about the only thing I didn't do.

Well install the necessary required components and see if that fixes the problem. Relying on hacks cant always be considered reliable.
