Pioneer NEX & Mirrorlink / AppRadio - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

bigdawg86 · 03-24-2015, 05:24 PM

Hey guys I was curious if anyone can help me out.

I just finished a complete new sound system in my BRZ. I got the Pioneer 4100NEX (with most recent firmware v1.3) because I wanted Android Auto and Mirrorlink with my Galaxy S5 (Lollipop 5.0).

Turns out I can't get AppRadio to work or Mirrorlink to work. This was why I purchased the damn thing.

I know probably not many people have this radio, but I was wondering if there was an odd chance anyone else was able to get Mirrorlink / AppRadio with the Galaxy S5 and other NEX radios since they are very similar.

Thanks

Mirrorlink sucks I find. Lags a LOT.

I used a HDMI to Samsung MHL adaptor instead for my AppRadio 3. Not sure if AppRadio unchained (look up the app) will work for the NEX series. Also requires a rooted phone. Allows unrestricted mirroring of your phone's screen on the deck.

What cable are you connecting with? Are you using the HDMI port or trying to connect through the USB only?

bigdawg86 · 03-24-2015, 09:35 PM

USB 2... The S5 doesn't have HDMI.

Does the S5 have an MHL port that you can use?
What happens when you connect via USB?

Also, when you say USB 2, you mean that you have it connected to USB port #2 on the back of the 4100 right? You could also mean that you're using USB2.0 so I just wanted to check.

You may want to hit up an audio specific forum or check out Google. Here is a thread about the older 8000 model and an S5: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/...ing-app-radio/

If you mean the port that looks like a micro usb that is HDMI, at least it was on the S4. I wouldn't imagine they would go backwards with that connection...

bigdawg86 · 03-24-2015, 11:30 PM

S5 has what I was under the impression was USB 3.0 which has the standard microUSB with a small adjacent plug to get the 3.0 connectivity with the proper cord

tato.valverde · 03-25-2015, 12:52 PM

Have you seen this?

It seems Samsung phones don't have MHL so they need an adapter...

I have that same 4100NEX, but haven't installed it yet... i'll let you know if it works with my HTC One when I do

OP,

1. Did the 4100 work with the existing dash facing? I can't seem to find an accurate measurement stat to check myself
2. I'm considering the 4100 but wanted to know how the resistive touch is over going with capacitive touch on the 8100. Thanks!

@bigdawg86

I have a Galaxy G3, S4 and S5. It does indeed have a MHL (HDMI) plug. You just need the specific Samsung version of it.

cnk · 03-28-2015, 02:06 PM

It may not work if your carrier has locked the bootloader as well. I'm on AT&T with a Note 3 and the touch interface will not work. It's a known issue on the xda forums.

Since no one has answered, I'll chime in. No the 4100 does not fit the existing dash facing exactly. It's a double DIN unit, and we've got something wider than that. You'll need some fillers on the side as discussed here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19617 and pictured here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8585

No, I don't have a 4100nex myself, but I've done a lot of research. Can't justify the price at the moment. I've got my phone mounted right next to the stereo and can do all the thing Android Auto can do if not more. Doing all that work, spending all that money and still having to plug in my phone doesn't sound like a good idea even to this Android fanboy.

bigdawg86 · 04-03-2015, 04:19 PM

Does anybody have problems with Android Auto voice functions not working on their NEX devices? Mine connects and the maps and stuff work but when I push the little microphone on my head unit in Android Auto mode nothing happens
