It really depends if that is a recent statement from the manufacturer.
It could well have been true when the HiFi was released.
You need to contact them and ask if the iPod touch 2G is supported, have a look on thier website they may have more up to date information.

Blutooth Problem with car stereo and iPhone5

Got new iPhone 5 yesterday and paired it with car stereo for handsfree use. When I make a call I can use radio answer button and the speakers. When I receive a call I can only use handset. iPhone 4 worked fine so I doubt it is the car. I deleted and repaired the phone yet still the same issue. Help?

Hey nippers1!
It does sound like we have a conflict with your device and your car Bluetooth. Thanks for doing that great troubleshooting! I would like to ask, have you checked with your car manufacture to see if the phone was compatible with your car's Bluetooth? Sometimes different devices that have different Bluetooth profiles will work differently. Can other iPhone 5s connect at all? Can your iPhone 5 connect and use other Bluetooths fully? Also, are you having any problems with making and receiving calls in general? Also, is your device up to date? Please make sure it is on the most current software. Please report back!

IPod Touch 3G w/ stopped working with car stereo/docking speakers

After I upgraded to OS 4, my iPod Touch 3g stopped working through the USB port of my car stereo (just says "reading" and never progresses from there). It also stopped working through the docking station (basically a large clock radio) that I bought for my living room -- it will recharge and play music through the speakers but the docking station and its remote can no longer control the music (can't advance to the next song or anything else), so I have to physically change things on the ipod itself.
I was told by Crutchfield (where I'd purchased the car stereo) that this was a known problem with Apple -- that with OS4, many of the devices that previous worked with iPods no longer worked, and that this would be resolved in a later version of the OS that would provide some backward compatibility. However, I can't find anything at all about this.
If anyone knows more information about this, or has a link to where I might be able to read more, I'd appreciate the info. I selected and installed both the (almost new!!) car stereo and docking station specifically because they allowed me to connect and control my iPod, and now I've lost that functionality and the $$ I put into those devices (over $300 total)!

I apologize for posting a bit early. Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off. They also recommended a reset of the Touch. After doing these two things it is now working. Maybe this will help someone else.

Can one use the iphone with car stereo systems as one does an ipod?

My car has a "jack" for mpegs/ipod to interlace with the existing stereo. Is there an accessory that will allow me to use my iphone as one would an ipod with such systems?

Dewey Cheatum,
Apple doesn't make most of the adapters out there. Instead Apple provides the specifications so that other manufacturer's can make products that are labeled as "Works with iPhone".
I would contact the manufacturer of the car stereo to see if they have one that is certified by them to meet the "Works with iPhone" standard. If the radio came with the car, then the dealer and car manufacturer would be the resource to utilize.
This link described how manufacturer's can get their products labeled as "Made for iPod" or "Works with iPhone".

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

IOS6 bluetooth connection with car stereo

With my iPhone 4S running iOS5, my after-market car stereo bluetooth was able to read my song name, artist name, ect. Now that I upgraded to iOS6 my Kenwood receiver cannot read this data while connected via bluetooth. Since the data can't be read, the steering wheel control to search/skip a song forward or back also no longer works. I tested the car stereo last night with an iOS5 phone and it worked correctly, so I know the problem is related to the bluetooth iOS6.

New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

Using With car stereo after 3.0 update

Hi,
i have my iPhone connected to my Pioneer car stereo through USB, i can view the iPod song list playlists etc on the phone aswell as using the stereo. The song/artist/album titles used to have about a second delay before they displayed the on the car stereo screen but since the 3.0 update this has been taking up to 5 seconds which is really really annoying.
Anyone any ideas why?
Neil

Add me to the list. Brand blankety-new ipod touch that after 4.0.2 wouldn't work with the Subaru-factory-installed ipod connector in my '08 STI. The shut-it-off-and-restart-in-the-car method at least made it able to play music again but still no recharging.
To add insult to injury I did the have-an-Apple-GENIUS call me thing. The first thing was that they called me....for about 1/4 of a second. The phone blipped for less than a ring and then I got an email saying, "Oh, we TRIED to reach you and you weren't there. Why don't you call us?". So I called and was immediately put on hold. When one of the geniuses finally picked up, I described the issue with great patience and his insightful answer was, "let me put you on hold while I talk to my supervisor." So I sat on hold for five minutes until...they just hung up...no answer, no, "gee we think you're SOL"....just "click". Thanks a boatload Mr. Jobs.

IPod Touch Stopped Working With Car Stereo

Hello Everyone,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation that was working perfectly with the after market car stereo in my truck The Stereo is an Alpine CDE-102 and I am using the iPod interface and correct cable. After upgrading to IOS6 the car stereo fails to reconize the device and "SEARCHING" for a few minutes then gives the response "error - 1". Has anyone else seen this or know of a solution? Thanks!

I apologize for posting a bit early. Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off. They also recommended a reset of the Touch. After doing these two things it is now working. Maybe this will help someone else.

Iphone bluetooth problem with car stereo

I bought a third party bluetooth adapter for my car stereo. Hooking it up with any other device ( other mp3 players, my husband's windows phone ) all work and stream music. Pairing it with my iphone 5 causes constant crackling and static like blown speakers. Same with the ipod touch. Is there a setting in the phone that will fix this?
Thanks

I had same issue on iPhone 4 using "ebay" type adapter but improved it
with Blackberry bluetooth receiver
I however now have iPhone 5 wired in for perfect results

HELP !!! hands free paring bb bluetooth with car stereo 2011 kia sorento

I was able to pair my bb 8530 curve with my kia sorento 2011 car stereo via Bluetooth, but once I leave the car, and come back the connections always fail.
I do have my Bluetooth "discoverable"
on my option settings I have only check mark "hands free", "audio source" & "A/v source"

this are the instructioin I used to fixed it. In Bluetooth Options unchecked all items on the Services list except Handsfree. The then deleted the Kia from the BB and the BB from the Kia. I then paired again, in options on the BB I changed Discoverable to "No" and then on BB in Sorento Device Properties change Encryption to "Disabled". This has worked almost 2 weeks now with no new issues.

Using ipod nano with car stereo?

sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all. You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

Bluetooth will not work with car stereo after IOS6

I upgraded to ios6 and lost a number of Bluetooth functions with Alpine car stereo 1. Can no longer control playback from head unit. 2. Track info no longer displayed on head unit. 3. When head unit finds iPhone it no longer begins to play automatically.

If this is an after market car radio, you can go to the manufacures website, and they should have an update available for your head unit. Some manufactures dont have it available and you may need to replace and update your head unit. If this is factory installed, go to your local dealership, and they can do the update for you.

Why won't ipad bluetooth pair with car stereo

"searching" goes on and on, text is gray

Here's another article that may pertain ...
It could be that your car stereo needs a firmware update. See:
TS4483
UPDATE: Never mind -- not likely since you said it works with your iPhone.
