I just preordered the galaxy s3 for sprint to replace my galaxy s2 that's working great with the appradio 2. I just read online that they changed the MHL pinout, and it doesn't work with regular MHL adapters and requires a special one. Can anyone confirm if the galaxy s3 works with the pioneer adapter I just possibly wasted $100 on?

You might be in trouble... The pioneer adaptor would be for a normal mhl devices. What you would need is an official samsung g3 mhl cable, at least until someone else out there was to make one.

Take back the Pioneer one. They overcharge for it anyway.

 

Get yourself the Samsung MHL adapter for the S3, an HDMI cable, plus a good car charger and you'll save about $50.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't work. Luckily my dad is eyeballing an appradio2, so hopefully I can pass it off to him. :mrgreen:

That adapter doesn't look like it'll charge the phone while being used.

Ahh yeah, good point.

Finally got my s3 mhl adapter in after a week and got it hooked up. Galaxy s3 works great with the appradio2 for all who may be thinking about getting this phone. Just make sure you get the correct mhl adapter as the pioneer one doesn't work!

Thank jhanson, I was debating on returning my EVO LTE because I wasn't sure if I could get the S3 working with my appradio 2 but you just sealed the deal, thanks!

 

PS: How do you like it? What phone are you coming from?

Posted Jun 28, 2012 · 17:45 UTC#12

I love it. The bigger screen is very nice, the battery life finally makes the phone usable for more than a day and factory ICS is much better than the roms i've been running. I'm coming from a galaxy s2, but a buddy of mine here at work has the evo lte too. He likes the phone but is still debating on switching to the galaxy s3 as well. I'd recommend it. Before my galaxy s2 I had about 10 HTC phones going all the way back to the apache 6700 running windows mobile and ending on the evo 3d. I still really like HTC, but I've really started to like samsung products much more.

Nice, thanks for the info. I love the EVO LTE but the multitasking problem is really annoying me, it even causes problem with the appradio.

I've got a question for you. Is your S3 prompting you for the bluetooth connection every time you start the car?

 

What happens when I start the car:

 

AppRadio boots up quickly. 20-40 seconds after I start the car I get prompted to allow the bluetooth connection on my S2 LTE (Skyrocket) and now on my new S3. This prompt will sometimes only display for one second before disappearing. If it disappears I have to manually connect my phone to the deck either through the bluetooth menu on the phone, or through the phone menu on the deck (again hoping that I catch the bluetooth permission prompt in time). It's driving me insane!

Yeah, I get the same annoying bluetooth pairing request everytime. I've scripted around it using tasker. Heres what I have:

 

TASK 1: "Pairing Request" - Event -> UI -> New Window: Label: Bluetooth pairing request, Window Type: Dialog

Actions:

1) Input -> Dpad -> Button Down Repeat 2 Times

2) Input -> Dpad -> Button Right 1 Time

3) Input -> Dpad -> Button Press 1 Time

4) Variable -> Variable Set -> Name: %AcceptBluetooth To: true

 

TASK 2: "Bluetooth Accepted" - Event -> Variable -> Variable Changed, Variable: %AcceptBluetooth Value: true

Actions:

1) App -> Load App -> AppRadio

2) Display -> Auto Brightness -> Set: Off

3) Display -> Display Brightness -> Level 0

4) Task -> Wait, 10 Seconds

5) App -> Load App -> AppRadio

That tasker profile isn't working for me, when I got to Input -> Dpad it says "sorry that action is unavailable on this device".

Hmm... about the only think that may make a difference would be go to settings -> security -> device administrators and make sure tasker is checked as an admin. If not, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be available. I'm on the Sprint version of the S3.... are you on a GSM model? Would something be different there?

Posted Jul 03, 2012 · 10:38 UTC#18

Wow! I had no idea Tasker could do that! Thanks for the tip!

Posted Jul 03, 2012 · 10:46 UTC#19

Ahh yeah, good point.

 

FYI, I was wrong. That adapter is used with older MHL adapters to make them compatible with the S3. It'll allow all of the functionality still, including charging.

 

I actually went out and bought the S3 MHL adapter. I don't have the patience to wait for that adapter to come out. lol

Looks like I can't use the dpad either. Is your phone rooted? I haven't rooted mine yet as I'm going to be trading it in for a Pebble Blue one later today.

You need root access for that input to work.

Alright, I've copied this. I'll find out later how well it works. I have another BlueTooth prompt I have to work on for my Elm327 Bluetooth adapter. Thanks again for the tip!

Believe it or not, Tasker is a fraction of a second too slow to hit OK. The connection fails every time. Grrrrr!

Ok, I just wasted an hour trying to connect my new Appradio2 and my new Sprint SGS3. So evidently the android kit will not work?

 

Will any part of it still work? Will an adapter run in line between the phone and android cable or do I have to take this car back to the installer to have it put in with a new cable?

Just to confirm, you ordered:

 

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EPL-FU10BEGSTA

 

and it simply connects between the Android/Pioneer MHL cable (CD-AH200C) and the phone?

 

I wonder if anyone has one of these locally on the night of the 4th of July? I doubt it.
