Aftermarket car charger not working with iPhone 4

I have and aftermarket input in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. It includes a 30-pin connector which provides the line level input and a charging to an ipod. I have been using just fine with my 2nd gen ipod and wife's 2g iPod Touch with no problem. I just bought a new iPhone 4 last week and plug it in and get the message "this accessory is not optimized for this device" "charging is not supported". Is this just a software block or is the power requirements that much different with the iPhone. The input works and the iPhone even respond to a pause signal when I shut off the car (input device pauses your ipod when you shut off the car), but no charging. I hate to think I have to shell out another $50-60 for a new input for my car. Any thoughts?
I can't remember the name of the input device. I think it might be PIE.
Thanks

"Scosche Passport - it's a quality product that solves your problem.... "
Let me stop you right there. The scosche passport WAS a good product. I purchased one last year at the apple store when I was making a 9 hour trip up north and needed to charge my iPhone 3GS on the way. It was a brilliant product, all the way up to the launch of iOS 4.
I don't know HOW Apple botched this update, but the fact that I am now using the same hardware (the 3GS), attached to the same scosche adapter in my car, and a software update to 4.0 has broken my ability to charge. It is absolutely insane.
Needless to say I'm furious. I'll be ringing Apple on Tuesday, as they're not signing 3.1.3 anymore, so I can't even go back to a chargable phone.

  • MP3 Car Input not working with Iphone

    When I plug my Iphone into my car's mp3 Aux input using my current mini plug connector (which works fine with my Ipod)) the music continues to play out of the iphone and not through my cars' stereo. The car is set correctly as the ipod works fine. Am I doing something worong?? Does the iphome not work in that situation? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    because of the iphone's recessed headphone jack, it's likely your cable is not fully inserting into the jack. don't try to force it in there. people have done things from shaving down the plastic on a jack to trying to shop for adapters that fit.

  • Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

    genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

    Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
    Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

  • The optical drive red light stays on, no sound in OS X, the car charger not working

    The optical drive red light stays on, no sound in OS X, the car charger not working, I think that its all tied to 1 error or 1 issue, maybe something to do with the boot camp file?
    Any ideas ?

    Hi S,
    There is a switch inside the audio jack that may be stuck. Try gently inserting, wiggling, removing the audio plug.

  • Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

    I have the latest appleTV.  I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S.  The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV.  It used to work.  I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing.  It worked fined until a month ago or so.  I have enabled home sharing.
    The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3.  I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router.  I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
    Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC.  Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code.  Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates?  Any possible solutions?

    It seems like I am having the same problem.
    I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
    (1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
    (2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
    (3) Airplay Mirroring not working
    The following are done:
    - Home sharing enabled
    - To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok

  • $80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

    I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

    According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg
    Are they plugged in to your iPhone all the way?

  • AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

    AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
    WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

    Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV.  You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable.  After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

  • What bt car radio will work with iPhone ?

    Simple question, I'm looking for a aftermarket radio that will work with my iPhone 3G.
    Play music over bleutooth, make hands free calls.
    No additional cables,only BT,iPhone in cradle/charger.
    I did find a few radio's that should work, but maybe people here have experience with working systems so I'm sure they work in real life,and not only in the advertisings.
    You can google all over the internet, and never find a clear answer.....so maybe we can make the final topic here, for everyone to find....

    We have tried everything that ha been suggested
    Sorry, but that tells me nothing - one man's "everything" is another's not quite enough.  When I said "EXACTLY", I meant just that...  What happens in vagueness, stays in vagueness!

  • Car charger that works with the bumper case?

    Does anyone know which, if any, brands of car chargers and models that work with the new bumper case? I went to best buy yesterday and they all looked too thick to even buy it and give it a try.

    I'm pretty sure the lack of functionality with car chargers and the bumper case is simply because the cutouts for the USB connector on the bumper is too small..that's the only reason. Otherwise it will work; it's simply a physical problem with the connector not seating properly; that's it.
    I'm saying this based on my own situation. I have a Griffin car charger /FM receiver that worked with my iPhone 3G and it worked with my iPhone 4 until I put the bumper case on.
    The situation is the same situation as to why the Apple supplied USB cable that shipped with the 3G does not work with the iPhone 4 w/bumper. Apple redesigned the size of the USB connector and sized the cutout on the bumper for their new smaller size making the bumper not backwards compatible with existing devices with the older size USB connectors. The size differential is not that big but it's big enough to cause problems.

  • Griffin RoadTrip not working with iPhone 3G any more

    Hi,
    my Griffin RoadTrip is not working any more with my iPhone 3G.
    Always message that this accessory is not compatible with iPhone, but before, it worked and now it doesn't any more.
    (On Griffin case, it's mentioned that the accessory is designed for iPhone 3G)
    any tricks for this?
    Thx

    Mine was working fine for about 6 months.  Then, I started getting a "not compatible message."  I called Griffin and they suggested a soft reset of the iphone 4s.  The message went away but now the FM transmitter is not transmitting.  Griffin sent me a brand new one (free) but the FM transmitter still does not work.  That tells me that the iphone changed -- probably after an update.

  • Corporate Email does not work with iPhone

    I'm not a tech wiz so my apologies if this is very elementary. My IT guy said the iPhones will not work with MS Exchange on our server. We currently support Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices such as the Q, Treos, Blackjack. He did mention that my email could work through the POP server, but it wasn't secure. I've tried setting up the POP email to pull my corporate email, but keep getting the Authentication Failure message. Any suggestions on what to try?

    If Windows mobile devices can connect using ActiveSync, then your iPhone should be able to connect the same way.
    I used a HTC TytnII to sync my mail, calendar et contacts. I got the iphone and entered the exact same informations (server IP adress, user name and login) and it just worked.
    You need however to know the exact capitalization of your email adress, as described in your MS Exchange server. To know that, create a message in outlook, enter your name in the "to" field and double-click on your name. In the information box, you should have numerous tabs, and the last one gives you the capitalization (in the "SMTP" field).
    Good luck
