+1 on that kman! I'm not really sure if the dev took time to address the pairing issues we had with our razr maxx, but somewhere along the development path, all my problems went away. I just leave arliberator on standby so I don't even have to hit the connect button any more. I'm still looking for a spare ashtray for my truck so I can install my dock in that location, but for now, it's working great by my "A" pillar on my dash. Next project: hdmi android stick.
Full AppRadio2 control via Android phone via ARLiberator App
I bought the razr maxx dock and connected the hdmi and usb cord through my ashtray in my vette. It slide in perfect and stays in place, so all I have to do is dock the phone for a fast connect.
I definately recommend a dock if you can install it. ![]()
Does anybody knows if this also will work with the Avic-F940BT/Avic-X940BT, or similar HU's with firmware 4?
No, they do not have an Android Advanced app mode and HDMI connectivity. AppRadio 2 (SPH-DA100) is the only one it will work with currently until the new models announced at CES come out.
Just finalized my install, and all I can say is ARLiberator rocks! Worth every penny.
Can this arliberator work with correct cable on Appradio on any Android phone?
Like Samsung galaxy ace?
It needs to be the appradio 2 and the android phone needs to be rooted, have either hdmi or mhl, and on ics or above. The developer is getting it to work with many gingerbread models, but there are still some issues remaining.
I have a Samsung Note 2 and this program works perfect with it. Best money I have spent on software EVER. Made the Appradio 2 what it should have been out of the box. I was able to use a MHL cable to connect the units (11-pin SIII series) without buying the $100 Pioneer kit (I can't believe what these companies charge for stuff sometimes). I love this radio now and with this APP I can't see having any other radio out there. It is now everything I have ever wanted in the dash of my car. I will have to say though, that the iPad mini's that are being adapted for the car are pretty cool too and you can take it with you to avoid theft. Google those and check it out. I will say though, that after you spend the money for an iPad and a bluetooth deck along with the other wiring stuff and modding required to install it, this is still a much better value. Anyway,you usually have your phone with you anyway.
Arliberator continually updates the software too to make it bettter and better...... best ap for those using Android on the Appradio 2
How do we get this thread pinned to the front page like the iphone full control?

Just ask. Done.
A reverse-engineered solution like this is exactly what I was talking about on the thread I started about controlling an AppleTV via Bluetooth, hooked up with HDMI.

If you have to upgrade your phone to Android JellyBean OS...here is the link and instructions on how to root your phone after the upgrade so Arliberator works with the AppRadio 2 again.

Works perfect!!!!!!!
this is only a little bit off topic, so i´ll ask.
dou you use the original adapter cable from pioneer for your android device or an aftermarket cable? if aftermarket, are there any disadvantages?
I am not sure what adapter cable you mean?
Are you talking about the Android kit that has the mini HDMI and M cord and the Mini USB cord? If so, no, you don't need to buy the android kit, you can buy cheap Mini HDMI and Mini USB cord off ebay for $20 and save some money. Worked perfect for me. Only difference is giving extra money to Pioneer for the cables.
Save that money and buy the Arliberator App with it....and still have money left over...LOL
thanks kman1971,
just to be sure, something like this (http://www.ebay.de/itm/Micro-USB-MHL-to-HDMI-TV-Adapter-Cable-Fur-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-S2-HTC-Flyer-AC53-/400361953318?pt=DE_Handy_PDA_Kabel_Adapter&hash=item5d376e9826) should fit.
Yea, that is a pretty cool cord to have both micro usb and micro hdmi. I'm not sure how that works, I guess the cord gets the power for the micro usb from the head unit.
Just make sure you get the right type of cord for your phone, mhl or hdmi and that it is the right kind of cord for a phone. The razr uses the micro hdmi and has to be a Type D.... which is compatible with mobile phones. This is the cord I got on ebay for $5....
Ok, so i seem to have run into a snag. I own the Pioneer AVH-8400BH, but I am wanting to switch to the APPRadio 2 to use with my Tmo Note 2.
Rooted, running Miui Rom, I purchased the Galaxy S3 11 pin MHL connector/adaptor ( model number : EPL-3FHUBEGSTD ) From Samsung themselves.
Connected to my T.V. at home it works fantastic!!! Went to the audio place where I am looking at trading my 8400 for the AppRadio2, tried connecting, but it just sits there. Doesn't connect. Doesn't do anything. I can connect to the radio via BT, and it will pop up Connecting on the ARL dash thing, but then go right back to disconnected.
Is there something I am doing wrong? The USB port on my phone is fine, checked that, the phone is rooted ( that I can guarantee you ) and bought the ridiculously overpriced 34.99 ARLiberator app lol.
Perhaps someone else had this issue and figured it out and wouldn't mind sharing the details with me? puhleeeeeeassse? pretty please? Cherry on top? Megan fox in a birthday cake? Channing Tatum in a birthday cake ( covering bases with male and female members ) anyone......throw me a rope!!! blurb...blurb...i r drownin....blurb...halp!!!
Nobody? Anything? Nothing?

Your best bet is to look in the arliberator forum for people using the same hardware your using. http://appradioforums.com/Forum-Android
Agreed. Check the arliberator forum for people with set up like you and if you can't find the answer, email them or post a new topic and the arliberator crew will figure it out for you...they have awesome support...
The website is down and support has been waning for the better part of the year. Hope this isn't the end.
If interested, come help support RuuhB hack the AppRadio app he started on Kyle's forum. The dev goes by Area51 XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622795&page=30The website is down and support has been waning for the better part of the year. Hope this isn't the end.

I hope if he gets things to work he isn't so aloof with software direction.
