The iPod Touch/AirServer method works great, but I can't figure out how to get it to mirror the iPhone 4S screen on the touch.

that's a good question...and sure it will be the solution for "tomorow" even with iphone 5...iphone.6...iphone256 etc....

i can"t downgrade my ipod touch 4...so that i'm "locked" to try it. ( i buy it as second hand firm 6, cheap price and very good alternative idea...)

mike, if you find a way to this, just sell the app to pioneer , sure you can earn money you deserve for all your work !!! ( i'm serious !! )

Found out that AirServer for iOS doesn't support mirroring, so you can play video and music but you can't display apps wirelessly.

i was thinking of an "appletv" device to connect to the appradio so that wirelessly something could work...but...too hard to transform that...

i"m sur pioneer must find a solution with an intermediate device that works wirelessly ...like appletv device connected insted of the iphone to the appradio( if they want to stay alive with appradio and iphone...)

something like that...

You could use an AppleTV, or even a Raspberry Pi running XBMC, but I don't know if the HDMI would size correctly to the screen. You would have to route it through the backup camera input. There's also that annoying "image may be reversed" message over the screen.

I would think that an Apple TV connected to the HDMI port on the AppRadio2 and set the Apple device for a screen resolution of 720P should work fine. I'm going to try this in the next few days. I guess the only downside is that you would need a small 120 to 12 volt inverter to make it work since the Apple TV is doing the voltage conversion internally. Unless someone else beats me to it, I'll let you know how well this works out. This could be a good option for iPhone 5 users, except that it adds about $125, with inverter, to your parts list.

Another option would be to get the HDMI adapter for the lightning port and just plug it straight into the HDMI jack if you have a carmount and don't need wireless. I'll try this as well.

Mike, you're right about air server...it's only "basic" not full option...

Dude, if you can try apple tv system, i'm curious !! not sure to have video , but not sur to not have too,

maybe it will need a kind of patch software or something like that, but anyway if you can try it , great !!!

Here's a video for connecting your non-jailbroken iPhone 5 or iPad 4th gen via HDMI. Works pretty well. The video on the head unit looks over exposed in this shoot, but it actually is perfectly exposed in real life, so disregard that. My next shoot will be with the Apple TV installed, I'm going to shoot it with the parking lights on to dim the Pioneer screen to see if that helps. Anyway, this works pretty well, check it out:

cool video

but waiting for second option

I'll be making the AppRadio2 / Apple TV video as soon as my mobile router arrives from Amazon: http://www.cnetusa.com/esp/CQR-980.php

Stand by...

Dudeman44, thank you for posting this! I had been looking for some sort of solution for a while and have been curious how the videos work. I just installed the hdmi cord and it works great. Pioneer really needs to find a solution for this, it's a bit ridiculous.

one more info, fake or not...

I hooked my iphone 5 up via HDMI as well, when I turn on a navigation app, it shows on the screen of the Appradio for about 5 seconds and that's it. Any ideas what am I doing wrong? I am using the new Apple lightning to AV HDMI adapter that just came out. What are you guys using?

After that 5 seconds, what appears on the head unit and what appears on the iPhone screen? Does the head unit still have an Android symbol in the Apps icon?

Here's how you connect the AppRadio 2 to Apple TV:

dude, can you do that please, sorry to ask, but while you are doing great experiments , can you have a look about this ?

it's free to try , it's called :

Is it possible to do a parallel installation where I can choose if I want ipod connectivity with App Radio etc, and one cable only to mirror (love the Navigon app and would like to use it simply mirrored out)?

That is: One lightning harnest resulting in HDMI + USB (providing external, non-Pioneer power only for charging) and One lightning to Pioneer iPhone harnest? Or do we need a brand new Pioneer cable once the new firmware is out (will an ordinary Apple Lightning to 30-pin be enough?)
