Scott TMN Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 how are you finding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oderuyter Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 just waiting on the HDTV usit to turn up, as I have a Samsung Note 3 (same issue with S4) so can return the £50 android cable and replace with £6 part. Its nice, but Fek all stock features! plus sounds weird but i miss having a volume dial or rocker, two tiny buttons is kinda weird. Will give a bit of a review in a few weeks, as loads of reviews around but only iPony users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbw100 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thinking of going for this radio. I have a Nexus 4. Are you having much joy with it? Have you tried ARLiberator to gain access to all your phone apps on Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oderuyter Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 No, terrible luck! Pioneers tech support speak a good talk, but ara ctually useless. Wont work with Note3 because the app is Pants! it works but the app crashes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdotc Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Reviews speak for themselves, looks top notch but in reality is very poor and support is limited. Was considering getting one myself until I read a ton of reviews. Edited February 6, 2014 by tomdotc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbw100 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The appradio app on your Note keeps crashing? Take it Bluetooth streaming and phone controls/mic all work as expected using steering wheel controls? Bummer when things don't work as you'd expected. Support for Android users seems surprisingly poor in the incar entertainment world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oderuyter Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Device is essentially limited. Audio for calls connection is great but mic is pants. Need to look to move onto on board mic or relocate, everyone complains they can hear me. Bluetooth audio is a little juddery at time and flakey on connection. I don't have mine in the steering wheel yet road radio didnt have the part in stock. So am waiting to pull it all out again to have various parts dipped. Appauled at how poor support is for android, especially as I hate apple and would never own one of their piece of junk. On reflection and reading back my post, could have done the same install if not better for a lot less, 300 + all the other bits for instsll. for this head unit is far too much. Shaking my head, what was I thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbw100 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Am thinking of the avh-x2500bt now. Appradio2 so chance it might work with ARLiberator. The 2600bt is appradio3 so no chance of working. I'm on Android 4.4.2 which technically however isn't supported. Worst case it won't work but I'll still at least have Bluetooth streaming and hands free phone as long as I get the mic position correct. This a mine field of compatability issues!!!

Angrybiker Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Initially had it wired to take my iPhone 6 and it was really poor. Apps would freeze (anything after an iPhone4, the iPod button is greyed out on the screen and the only way to play music is using the apps) you need to disconnect/reconnect phone every time you start the car. In the end I re-wired it to accept an iPod which is now permanently connected and it works a lot better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I absolutely loathe mine. LOATHE it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeW Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have just fitted one in mine, seems ok to me, sound isnt the best but will do. One thing though, my facia which came with the unit doesnt fit - a huge gap below the unit and too little above - anyone else get this?

Angrybiker Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Nope. Mine fits like a glove. Ps the sound wasn't great with mine when fitted, try the buster mod, worked a treat with mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Sound is noticeably different when using BT vs wire. When its working its fine but does need a good mobile data connection. the Live App was a big improvement - my issue is the Apple adaptor - they seem to get twisted too easily which makes intermittent connection and now looks like I will have to buy another - that's 3 in 18 months @ £40 a pop. It still looks good but would not recommend unless it was a bucket price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
