Am I missing something? HDMI/AppRadio Mode on 4000nex

Hey guys,

 

First post here and I've got to admit I'm just a consumer of these products. I have them installed by a "professional" so I'm a little ignorant.

 

I'm having trouble with AppRadio mode on my AVH4000NEX, I have a HDMI cord attached to the back of the unit, then a lightning cord from usb2 both connecting to an Apple AV adapter, then into my iPhone 6 IOS 8.1.2 (jailbroken? Does it matter?). I have connected my iPhone to the deck with Bluetooth but still, I never have an option for AppRadio, I can only view the iPhone screen under "HDMI" which isn't terrible. But it wasn't the AppRadio I was promised, a theme I'm getting alot from Pionner.

 

Am I missing any cords for AppRadio? Am I doing something wrong? I was told I had all the proper cords from my installer but alas.

 

Big Question for you that have App Radio though:

 

Can you Listen to the radio while viewing AppRadio?

 

My biggest pet peeve about "HDMI Mode" is I cannot listen to the radio like I can while I have Carplay up. If you can't listen to the radio while you have Dash Command up I'm not even going to bother trying to fix this head unit anymore.

 

I have had trouble with the AVH4000NEX from day 1. I live in Vancouver, Canada and since the first moment I turned it on the unit was very uncooperative with the cooler weather (first purchased in late November) after months of fighting with the supplier I got a new head unit a few days ago, after months of back and forth.

 

Hope somebody can help me!

 

Thanks guys!

In the settings of your next go to smart phone settings and set it to AV adapter you're probably on the USB setting that will enable app radio mode when you want to go back to car play set it back to USB
