Any aftermarket car stereos support "iPod Out"?

"iPod Out" was announced with iOS 4, but so far, it seems that only BMW's proprietary car stereo supports it. Anyone else know of any other aftermarket car stereo that supports iPod Out? Ideally, I'm looking for a unit that also has GPS.

I bit the bullet - having bought cheap crap from Ebay (such false economy) - none of them worked - I've just ordered it from Apple. Will keep you all posted. Fingers crossed.

Car Stereo Help/iPod support

I'm looking for a new car stereo that can play music off of my iPhone. Most models I've seen say they support wma/mp3/aac, but some CDs I've ripped are in m4a. After looking around on the internet for a while, I get the impression that m4a files are converted to aac and are playable, but can't find anything that says that definitively.
Is this true, and if not, do you know of a stereo model that does play m4as?

Hello, and welcome to the forums.
any model that states it is compatible with iPod will play the music in the music library of the iPod without any converting. Unfortunately it wont play MP4s from a CD data disk but it will read them if they are in the ipod itself.

If this is the main feature you are looking for Might we suggest looking at the DSX-S200X with an integrated tune tray to tuck the ipod or iphone behind the faceplate, eliminating unsightly and distracting wires.

IOS 7.1 update- no car stereo support?

Hello I am having a problem that is really starting to tick me off. I took my iPhone into an apple store for them to fix a few things and they updated it to the newer 7.1 firmware. I was on 7.0.4 before and my stereo worked flawlessly. I was able to connect my iPhone 5 to the usb and play through Pandora, Youtube, and the browser version of Grooveshark. Now after this 7.1 update I cannot play any music through my car. It recognizes the device but says "No music in file" I prefer to stream my music rather than take up space on my phone. But now I cannot listen to any music. Is there a setting I am missing? I am NOT happy in the slightest.

had the very same problem. After I updated to ios 7.1 on my iPhone 5s, I was no longer to play music on my Kenwood Excelon stereo in my car via Apple's USB/lightning cable. I HAVE A SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME. When I first updated to ios 7.1, I did this on wifi. I talked to Apple customer service several times with no help, so I took it into my hands to try to figure this issue out. This is what I did to fix this issue: 1) Plug in your phone/device into your laptop and connect to iTunes 2) Back up your phone/device 3) Turn off Find My iPhone 4) Click on Restore iPhone 5) Continue and wait until the software is re-installed 6) At this point my laptop told me that there was something wrong with my phone, so I clicked to disconnect my iPhone and then Plugged it back into my laptop. Now the iPhone was recognized and asked me to restore to my backup from today 8) Restore the backup and wait. This took my iPhone about 45-60 minutes 9) Sync your music and apps back onto your iPhone and disconnect from laptop once completed 10) The final step is to go connect your iPhone to your car stereo and enjoy your music again!! I hope this works for everyone else. My guess is that there was a glitch when I downloaded ios 7.1 on wifi instead of using iTunes. Peace!!

IPOD frozen after use with Jensen car stereo with IPOD control cable

I recently installed a Jensen MSR7007 stereo and connected the IPOD mini with a special Jensen cable that allows the IPOD to be controlled from the radio without having to touch the IPOD. It works beautifully and the IPOD display reads "JENSEN RADIO" while it is playing. However when I disconnected the IPOD it was frozen (locked up) with the Jensen Radio display still on it. It was inoperable when I disconnected it and I couldn't even turn it off.
Please Help.

I am having a similar problem - I just purchased a pioneer DEH-P690UB indash car stereo, but I can not get the radio to recognize my iPod mini (N/A USB). The installar has a newer iPod, which worked when he tested the system, so I have been looking for the new firmware to see if that will help.
Can anyone direct me to the firm ware downloads?

Car stereo (clarion vz401) sometimes not recognizing ipod 6th generation. it says unsupported usb?

I have a brand new 6th gen ipod nano. when i connect it to my car stereo (which says it supports 6th gen) most of the time it will say unsupported usb. after a long time it will eventually connect and work fine. this happens every day. any ideas?

The iphone and ipod are not the same device.
Perhaps your car stereo supports ipod and not iphone. Check with the manufacturer of your car stereo.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Should I be able to listen to music from my iPod 5 on my car stereo?

I have a Pyle stereo in my car. I am having trouble listening to my iPod using the USB on the stereo. The Pyle support team says
It can't be done, that the USB is for mass storage devices. Isn't that what an iPod is? I am a little suspect of they're answer, especially after reading some posts. Can someone give me the scoop? Can I or can't I listen to my Ipod through the USB....PLEASE??

"that the USB is for mass storage devices. Isn't that what an iPod is? "
No. It is not what an ipod touch is at all.
You can only listen to it via the USB if your car stereo supports it. If it does not, then you cannot.
It sounds like your stereo does not support the ipod via USB

Ios 4 3gs Now will not play through my usb/ipod connection on car stereo

With new ios4 I cannot get my 3gs to play through my car stereo's ipod connection (usb)anymore. os3.1 or whatever the old os was worked fine. The car stereo controlled the tracks, artists, etc.. Now I plug the phone in and get a message saying it is not optimized to work with the stereo and may be subject to noise and interference, then the only option to click is "dismiss" and will not work. Any ideas? I tried the re sync and still will not work.

The method used to recognize the USB device has a clever bit of code in the firmware to improve the connect time once the initial handshake with the device has been established. So after the update to iOS4, the host device (Car Stereo) still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device (iPhone prior to updating to iOS4) The updated client device (Your iPhone with iOS4), must fool the host device (Your car stereo), into believing that it is an entirely new device. This is done by connecting your iPhone to the stereo head USB port with the iPhone switched off completely. This is achieved by holding down the top power button on the iPhone until the red slide bar comes up and prompts you to shut the iPhone down. Do this and then with the car stereo switched on, plug the iPhone into the USB socket and wait till the iPhone starts of it's own accord. If it does not start, press the top power button on the phone until it starts. This will force the host device (Your car stereo) and the client device (Your iPhone) to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.
Now we can all stop beating up both the Car Stereo manufacturers and Apple and focus on being civil gentle folk that enjoy discussions about how clever we all are to be able to use amazing technology to get ourselves over-stressed and irritable.

Will there be Future iPhone 5 "Ipod Out" support? Adapter perhaps?

I have pre-ordered an iPhone 5, but I' have realised that it wont work with my car head unit - which cost nearly £2000 and was bought specifically to control, and display song information from my iPhone.
It has been absolutely brilliant. Being able to control tracks from my steering wheel, seeing the artwork on the screen and the track name and artist. It made people go "wow".
Unfortunately, the Ipod Out feature that allows control of the iphone from the steering wheel appears not to be supported due to the new lightning connector, nor does the 30pin adapter correct this.
I am now faced with the odd possiblity of having to sell my iPhone 5 when I get it, and go back to a 4S, as it literally is the most important way, as a huge fan of music whilst driving, in which I use my iPhone day to day.
I really really hope that Apple have a way to add "Ipod Out" support to the iPhone 5, so that it can again be controlled via a car's steering wheel.
Cutting out a feature that helps prevent distractions, accidents, even deaths is wrong.
I will happily pay whatever Apple wants for the adapter in future, but I need to know its possible, otherwise I will have to go back to a 4S, as I cant be rooting in my glovebox to change iphone tracks.
Does anyone know if Apple will be creating a future adapter that supports iPod Out, to bring safety back to the millions of cars that currently can control iphones and ipods through the steering wheel?
It is an offence in the United Kingdom to interact with a mobile device in a car, even if its texting, or changing ipod tracks. For UK iPhone owners - Ipod Out is a legal requirement to use the ipod in the car. Please Apple, dont go backwards on car safety, I plead with you!
Thankls

I searched all over to try and find an answer to this...
this is what I found in macworld.
"As with the 30-pin connector, the Lightning connector supports video output; Apple told Macworld that Lightning-to-HDMI and Lightning-to-VGA cables will be available “in the coming months.”"
found from: http://www.macworld.com/article/1168555/what_apples_new_lightning_connector_mean s_for_you.html
also from: http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/iphone-5-lightning-connector-does-support-vid eo-output-hdmi-and-vga-cables-incoming
From that I can only assume that the CONNECTOR does support iPod out, just not the adapter.
I currently have a Pioneer AVIC-Z130bt and have the same issue at hand.
So the real question is, how soon will pioneer be able to research and engineer a cable that goes from the lightning port to our radios?
Also, I wonder, if I were to take the lightning cable that came with the iphone, plug it into the usb port that the iphone cable plugs into, then take a male-male headphone cable and plug it into the other female cable attached, would THAT work? Just wondering... I doubt it, but what if...
Also found here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-50-iphone-5-what-we-know-so-far/
"From what we currently understand, the iPhone 5, with the 30 pin adapter and the current cable from pioneer:
Will support audio iPod output.
Will support audio out apps (like Pandora)
Might support controls (thumb up, thumb down, next, etc)
Will NOT support video iPod, video app, or Enhanced App Radio functions."

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

Best aftermarket car iphone 4 mp3 player with bluetooth paring working

Can anybody recommend a good aftermarket car stereo that works well with the iphone 4 mp3 player and has bluetooth paring working? Thanks

I got the JVC KW-XR810 at Best Buy.. Only a few of the mass issues but for the most part it plays well... I have found I have the best luck using it in ipod mode instead of headunit or external modes which if you get it you will see what I am referring too.. If you would happen to purchase this unit please contact me after you are familiar with it so maybe we can help each other overcome the common issues everyone is having with all the audio units in any make whether it be aftermarket or the factory radios.. in anything from the cheapest car to the most expensive from what I have read in this thread.. Hope this helps

4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

After updating to 4.3.5, my iPod Touch nolonger works on my car stereo! Any idea how to restore Version 4.3.4

Don't know if any other users have had this problem?
I have updated my iPod Touch (4th Generation) to the latest software version (4.3.5) but now I can no longer use my iPod Touch with my car stereo.
I drive a brand new Chevrolet Orlando, & until I updated to 4.3.5, My iPod Touch work perfectly with the inbuilt car stereo, including the steering mounted controls & displaying track names, artiest, album, Etc.
Ever since the update, I have lost the display on the stereo, but it still recognises that I have pluged the iPod in.
The only way I can get my iPod to play is by playing a track through the inbuilt speaker (on the iPod) & then plugging it into the car stereo.
When I do this thou, I have no control over what is being played as I am unable to skip tracks/play list/Etc & I have no track information, which I could do when my iPod Touch was running software version 4.3.4 & below!
Is there any way I can reinstall version 4.3.4? I have tried to do a restore through iTunes, but it keeps installing 4.3.5! I have tried to reset my iPod, but again it reinstalls 4.3.5
Any help & advice would be great!

Just to add a bit more information here! LOL!
Tried the followind devises on the car stereo & here are the results -
My Wifes iPhone 3G running iOS 4.3.2 = Worked fine!
My Sons iPhone 4G running iOS 4.3.4 = Worked fine!
My Sons iPod Classic running iOS 2.2.1 = Worked fine!
My Daughters iPod Touch (3rd Gen) running iOS 4.3.3 = Worked fine!
I think this rules out the problem being with my iPod Touch, as it is the only Apple product we as a family own which has been updated to 4.3.5! The rest of my family are now holding off updating there's! LOL!!
