Tractionless · 01-26-2018, 09:10 AM

I connected Apple (OE) charging cord right to the USB pigtail on the Appradio 3 and get zilch on my 5C when plugging in after unlocking the phone as detailed in Pioneer's manual. The charging audio tone does chime but that's it.

Tried both "Iphone A/V" and "Others" modes in the Application Connection Settings Menu of the HU as well as options "ON" and "OFF" in the App. Launch Menu in each to no avail. From what my Pioneer manual download (last week, so current) says the phone charging cord to USB pigtail route is only for mirrorplay devices which I've researched Iphones are not. I therefore assume option #1 in post #3 above is the route I must take for connection.

HOWEVER I find two bits of info. pertaining to App communication between the phone and bluetooth.

1. Controlled via HDMI cable.
2. Controlled via Bluetooth.

I've connected bluetooth while in both Application Connection Setting menu selections as well as both App. Launch Menu's and no Apps. appear on the HU; however, the phonebook, phone functions etc. work on the HU.

I confirmed the HU has the latest firmware installed.
