Anyone use a Pioneer Appradio2 with the ARLiberator app?

[JOSHSKORN]

I literally just found this from Googling. I've been looking for a good solution to make use of my phone by mirroring it onto a double din dash system and controlling my phone from it, and also installing a backup camera as well. I don't know if this radio allows for the back up camera, I think it does according to the feature list on Amazon.

So I found this: Amazon.com: Pioneer SPH-DA100 AppRadio Car Stereo with iPhone 4 App Control and 7.0" Capacitive Touch: Electronics

Through user reviews, I found this app for Android compatibility with the above device: ARLiberator.

In regards to the previous link, apparently there will be a double din dash system called Devium, where you can slip in your phone and it becomes part of your car stereo, instantly. The website supposedly has been taking pre-orders for maybe the last year, hence the initial post of the thread I posted in caraudioforum.com is almost a year old. Apparently the product still isn't out. However, for me, my MAXX's screen isn't big enough to operate while driving (err, while at a stoplight/stop sigh). Might be useful (for me) if it projects your screen onto a 7" screen.

Fellow DROID RAZR MAXX users of this forum, have any of you tried this? If so, comments on functionality?

EDIT: You have to be ROOTED to use ARLiberator. I don't know if there is a way to root in JellyBean for the MAXX yet, is there? I downloaded the early version of JellyBean, I was never rooted.

Not yet. Seems like the guy that made the ARLiberator app took a leave of absence and stopped supporting his app for a few months but he seems to be back. I'm not really sure what ARLiberator does over the stock Pioneer app to be honest. From what I know, ARLiberator is compatible with the Appradio 1 & 2, and also another model/headunit, can't remember what it was but I think it had the number 8500 in it.

I'm not looking to do this right now anyway, maybe next year.

Nice. You're the first to tell me about ARUnchained. I'd only heard of ARLiberator, which I don't know how well that's supported anymore (if at all). I take it you have the DROID RAZR MAXX? How is it working with ARUnchained?

The S3 runs like 20% faster I think, not much of a difference. I could probably overclock my maxx with an app and get nearly the same results. Yes, I'll drain my battery faster on a battery that's virtually on its last leg but so what. I think it'll work.
