I just picked up a lightning av adapter to connect my iPhone 5 to my appradio.
The 1st app I tried was navfree. Does anybody use this with an iPhone 5 and appradio 2? I can't get it to work. The app opens but does not fill the screen on the head unit and the maps don't show when I try to use the app. Does anyone else have this problem?
Also browsing photos that are stored on the phone is pretty sluggish. Is this normal?
Where did you buy the adapter? And do you have the latest firmware on the unit?
I got it from the app store. I have the most up to date firmware.
Waze works fine and so does car media player. It is just navfree that doesn't display properly. I have noticed the touchscreen works as if the app is filling the screen but the picture itself is about the half the size it should be and also not centered.
Does it work on your unit?
Start reseting, rebooting devices and reinstalling apps until it works. Also make sure you have the latest versions of all involved apps. And yes it does work on my unit.

I have tried everything and still cannot get it to work. Are you using an iPhone 5 or a 4/4s?
have you gone in to the settings>NavFree> and allow in-car TV-out?
Yes, I have done that. Are you running it on an i5?

Hey mate,
Same here on my i5. I believe NavFree is not yet compatible with the i5 resolution. Use Waze instead, that's totally compatible.
And yeah the sluggish photo viewing is due to the Bluetooth being used for touch controls, so there is a lag unfortunately
It is fully compatible with the i5 and yes, I have used it.
Just be to be clear on my i5 navfree works fine on its own. It's only when connected to the appradio that I have problems. It is as if the video out over the hdmi is the wrong resolution. Is this what you are experiencing?
Does this currently work properly for anybody?

Yes.
Yes.
Sorry to be a pest but is this on an i5 and with everything (radio, phone and app) fully up to date? If so I must have a faulty radio.
Yes.
Shit, looks like I need to return my unit.
Thanks for the reply.
If that is the only app you are having an issue with it is likely a software issue with your phone. Try another phone to troubleshoot.
Good idea. I will borrow my brothers iphone 5 and try with that first.
My Navfree (Sweden) doesn't work either. I have AR2 European FW 8.17 Iphone 4. It's only black on my Headunit. I think there is a problem with the navfree app...
Have you gone into your iPhone settings a d turned on appradio support for the app?
I have just noticed the USA version of the app is 2.06 and the UK version (that I have) is 2.05. Guess what 2.06 introduces? Yes, improved iPhone 5 appradio support. Looks like I need to wait for navfree to update the UK app.

Yes, appradio support is ticked. Mine is only version 2.0.1. I guess I have to wait for an update...
Ok, I got a reply from Navfree support regarding this. They confirmed that navfree version 2.06 or above is required to work with an iphone 5 and the appradio. The UK version of the app is only 2.05 and hence it doesnt work. He advised that they are currently testing version 2.1 but because they are also updating the base map for this version it has been slightly delayed. He didnt give a timescale but I am happy a fix is on its way.
That's navfree 2.1 released in most regions and I can confirm that everything seems to work fine using an iPhone 5.
