Default Pioneer app radio question

A friend and I just installed the pioneer app radio 2 in my 350z. Everything works perfectly fine except for the apps. Bluetooth and everything is set up and I have the app radio app on my iPhone. Just says if the apps don't show up in a few seconds then launch the app on the phone. I do and nothing happens.. Any suggestions?

I have this HU also, but running an Android phone so I can't much help. But I do know with my android I had trouble getting the Apps function to work because I did not override the parking brake safety wire correctly. It might be something for you to research

+1 on this. This is good advice. I believe the firmware can be updated via the USB interface. New firmware for the iPhone5 came out just last month.

That's true if I recall the HDMI input couldn't be activated without proper grounding and when I ran the Pioneer app I couldn't click "OK" to continue.

OP, I plugged in an iPod mini last night for the first time and it took a long time for the HU to recognize it but it finally lit up the iPod icon and played flawlessly. I did read however that the latest generation of iPhones needs the latest firmware and even a new special cable. Check out the firmware updating instruction on Pioneers website for this device:
