Connecting iphone 4S to car stereo problems

I have a new iPhone 4S and when I connect it to my car stereo via a Monster cable I can hear static. My wife's older iPhone does not have this issue. Her phone plays, just as my old iPhone 3, perfect music. I have checked my connections with the new phone, but I still get background static. Do I need to use a different cable with the new iPhone?

Just read all of the history on the issue. I have already posted feedback to Apple to document the issue. Thanks. I will also try to use a different cable and see if that works.

Hi. I have an iPhone 4s. The music doesn't play when I connect it to my car stereo. It used to play previously but stopped playing all of a sudden. My phone is getting charged when I cut it to the USB port. Please help with this. The iOS is 6.1.3.

Iphone and my car stereo

I just bought an iphone 3G and want to know if I can connect my iphone to my car stereo system (08 Nissan Altima Coupe w/factory Bose sound system) so I can listen to my downloaded music. I believe my car is equipped for this but need to know what adaptor to buy. Any one with input would appreciated!

I don't know if the you haver the same radio as my 08 Maxima but if you go to your local Nissan dealer you can get the iPod interface installed. Interface System for iPod® is not available for HYBRID models or models with factory navigation system. Or your radio should have the AUX jack that is in between the "Clock" and the "Scan" button and should say "AUX IN" if you have that then all you need is a 3.5MM wire (3.5mm to 3.5mm cable) example

Iphone 3g and Panasonic car stereo problems

Hi,
I have an iphone 3g and a Panasonic CQ-RX400U car stereo. The stereo has a front-panel USB port. I've been using the cable that came with the phone to connect to the stereo and everything has been working great. All of the stereo's iPod controls handled navigation through the iPhone perfectly, and the unit muted when a call came in, etc...
Just today though, it stopped working. The stereo gets stuck, alternating between "READING" and "PAUSE" with no playback. Nothing I tried has worked. I think this may have been the first time I've tried to connect since I upgraded to 2.1 on the phone.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Thanks for helping!

Well
I did some more tests on some of my other buds Iphones
The 2.1 Operating System is definitely the culpret.
Everyone First Gen Iphone and Iphone 3G I tried that had ver 1.xx and 2.xx worked below version 2.1
So, I hope apple fixes this and we get some help bud, cause they screwed something up bigtime when they upgraded the OS.
Hopefully we will have a answer tomorrow when everything opens again. Very disappointed in Apple.
Some of my friends won't even touch the new update since they got their phones because they are afraid the 2.1 will kill their accessories usage in there other brands of USB Decks they just bought for their cars over the past few months.
I strongly agree with them at this time not to Upgrade, whether it fixes stuff or not, would rather sacrifice features and fixes than spent more money on the **** accessories.
Very disappointed that Apple can kill off accessories like this and wonder why people are switching phones due to the cost of accessories that work and die with these new iphones.
We wait here patiently apple for you to reply and see whats causing this stupid error.
THANKS

IPod Classic connectivity to Car Stereo problems

I have an iPod Clas. The software version is 1.1.2. My new car stereo will not recognize anything before 1.2. Is there anyway to upgrade the software version of my Classic?
Thanks.

jfallon_bonedoc,
If iTunes does not see any firmware updates for your model of iPod classic, and you are positive your iTunes application is up to date, then I'm afraid there is no way to update to another firmware version. Sorry.

            Hi imissmn,
The details from Ann154 are pretty good ways to begin. You can check if the iPhone 5 is compatible by checking the car manufacture's website. You can also provide us with the car make, model and year along with the bluetooth technology (is the manufacture makes more than one). We want to confirm your device details so please let us know as quick as can be.
Thank you,

Device to connect photo ipod to car stereo?

I am looking for a a good device to connect my ipod to my car stereo. I was using a cheap tape connector with wire on my old car but the new one only has a cd player.
I bought a no-name fm transmitter (made in china?) with charging capability on ebay and no matter what station it was set on there was static. Can anyone recommend one you have had success with--I would prefer that it have the capability to charge the ipod too.
Thanks!
Nathan

I have been using the Alpine head unit since February and it has been fantastic up until last Saturday - now it won't "see" the ipod at all. I went back to the car stereo shop where I got it and the guy there said someone else had come in a few days before with exactly the same problem - when you connect the iPod to the head unit it just keeps saying "searching". They connected a different iPod and it worked perfectly so surmised it was an iPod problem not an Alpine problem.
I've tried restoring my iPod but it won't restore (error 1428) but I suspect this has something to do with the new iTunes 7 / gapless playback software change since I only started having problems since then.
Don't know what I am going to do now. The only reason that I bought the Alpine was to play the iPod in the car and now I can't. I'm not game to get another iPod either incase Apple changes their freakin' software again and renders it incompatible. So I'm out of pocket for a head unit and a 30gb iPod.

How do I play my iphone through my car stereo

I want to play my Iphone 4S through my car Vauxhall Corsa stereo. There's no socket on the car stereo. Do I need to buy some hardware?

The aux input works great if you don't need to control the iPod from the radio, I connect it this way routinely and have a separate charger when needed. The OP, however does not have an aux port.
Using earbuds or headphones is illegal in most states and I know a few that have been ticketed for impaired/reckless driving. Get into an accident wearing them and you could open yourself up to lawsuits because its considered impaired hearing. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. You can't fight the impaired hearing thing, don't even think about it. Claim to be senile and they'll pull your license right there and you will be walking for awhile.
Drive safe.

Playing my iPhone through the car stereo

I am looking for a new car stereo and the biggest feature I want is to be able to play music off of my iPhone on it. Almost every model I've looked at says it plays wma/mp3/aac. Most of my music files are mp3s, but the last few CDs I ripped in .m4a (Apple loseless). After researching it, I kind of have the impression that m4as are converted to aac, and will be played, but cannot for the life of me find a place that definitively says this. Can anyone help me out?

Not sure if this info is necessary, but some players connect to the iPhone through the headphone jack, some through USB, and most can do either.

Iphone and integrated car stereo

I have several apps on my phone that have an Ipod button for controlling the music while playing the stereo in the car. Before the last update I could have the GPS or other similar program running on my Iphone, but could also navigate to my Itunes and select the music/playlists, etc.. Since the last update, I can still navigate to my songs, but I cannot select the artist or playlist while the Iphone is plugged into the car stereo. If I remove the Iphone from the car jack I can navigate the songs fine.

I don't know if the you haver the same radio as my 08 Maxima but if you go to your local Nissan dealer you can get the iPod interface installed. Interface System for iPod® is not available for HYBRID models or models with factory navigation system. Or your radio should have the AUX jack that is in between the "Clock" and the "Scan" button and should say "AUX IN" if you have that then all you need is a 3.5MM wire (3.5mm to 3.5mm cable) example

Connecting IPHONE 5 to car

I just got an IPHONE 5 and need to connect it to my car, but I'm not having any luck......any suggestions will be much appreciated.......
Thanks,
Ali

Its your phone that needs to find your car.
Not knowing what car you have its hard to give precise advice, but in most cases, you set the Car's Bluetooth to Pairing Mode, or Discovery Mode.
Then you look for it from the Phone's Bluetooth Menu. In the Phone Go to Settings->Bluetooth->
Turn it On if its not on, and wait for your Car's System name to appear in the list of Bluetooth devices.
When it does tap on it. It will usually ask for a paring Pin code or password which should be provided either on screen in your car's system, or in the manual for it.
Pairing varies between cars, so its best if you refer to your cars manual for specific instructions on how to set it in Pairing mode.

Connecting Ipod Video to car stereo

Hi,
I have just bought a Goodmans GCE 7207i card stereo which has the ability to connect you Ipod and play you music library through the car stereo.
However, on the box of the stereo, it says it is compatable with the Ipod min and 3rd and 4th generation ipods. But I have a 5th generation video Ipod?
I am assuming that it says this on the box as when the stereo was manufactured , the Ipod nano / Video was not released.
My question is, does anyone know if this stereo is likely to be compatable with my ipod video. I am assuming it will be as it has the same connecter and if it was compatable with the Ipod photo then it will probably be compatable with the Ipod video.
If anyone has had any experience with this then please help me as i am wondering whether to return the Stereo before it is installed.
Thanks
steve

Oh! Sorry, I don't. I'm expressing how it should work. If you plug the AV Component connection into the touch, plug the connectors into the car DVD and the USB into the car power it should work.
I would try the AV Component connection at home first and when it is working there move it to the car without worrying about the power and then add the power.
make sense?
Sorry for giving you false hope.
