Hi all!

New to the forum and to appradio so if i ask a silly question, please just remember i am behind the times lol.

So got the Appradio 2 and installed it y-day.. The unit looks fantastic but a few issues have came my way.

First off i know there is a bypass for the parking break ie switch or relay but i just hooked it to the break for now.

My ipod classic works fine for music but the video option is faded on the radio and will not let me access it no matter how many times i put on the break. i have the videos in the "movies" folder on my ipod.  

I haven't bothered trying a usb flash as i've seen on 100s of forums that it doesn't work anyway.

My phone i have is a windows phone so i klnow thats also a no go, appart from the fantastic hands free it offers!

I is out the box new so maybe a firmware update is needed? I have no idea any help you guys can offer would be amazing!

Thanks in advance,

Dan.

Are you positive you hooked the brake wire above the switch?  If you hooked it below the parking brake switch, it would be in a permanent ground state and wouldn't work, unless your Appradio 2 is a European model.

These posts kill me in any forum.

 

How about a sticky or pinned thread to say NOT to post "PLEASE HELP!!" in the title in your post.

 

It seems that every time I see one of these, we get dead silence from the original poster.

You probably need to change the settings from digital to analog. (if you're using a 30 pin connection, and not lightning)
