Can my iPad2 be connected to my car stereo?

Hi, does anyone know if I can connect my iPad2 to my car stereo system? I'm going on a long road trip and it would be great to listen to my iTunes music. My Honda Civic has an AUX port and I wondered if there was any way I could use it for this. Any help would be awesome . . . Thanks.

Thanks for the fast response..   I see what you mean.. so it would also work for the iphone 4s, right?   But it won't keep the battery charged,   but I could then use the dock connector to charge to charge with the car charger at the same time or is this not possible?
I am seeing this at amazon, but then the battery would also not charge at the same time, right? (Iphone 4s battery time is not good)

Why can't I connect iPod to car stereo with red/white RCA cables?

I have red/white/yellow RCA (I think that's the name of them) plugs in my car stereo and I bought a cable to connect it to my iPod. It's the small plug (3.5 I think) on one end and a split 'Y' that's red and white on the other. The people and my car dealer connected a cell phone that is also a music player to it and it works, but it won't work with the iPod connected. The dealer thought it should be able to work with my iPod, but doesn't know why it won't. Are iPods able to connect to a car stereo this way. Is there another special cable that I need to get?

No, I should think that would work fine. I have a splitter like that connected to my hifi and no issues...you would want to make sure the volume on the iPod is up all the way; I don't know what car stereo you have, but possibly it's a setting on there that isn't right?

Ios 8.3/iPhone 6 problem connecting to Pioneer car stereo

Pioneer model AVH-X2600.
There are two ways to connect to my car stereo to play music: iPod mode or Bluetooth. Prior to 8.3 the BT connection would automatically pause my music after about 10 seconds. After I push Play on the stereo it would continue on without issue. Following the 8.3 update, after about 10 seconds on the BT connection there is this awful scratching/skipping noise, not unlike a skipping cd. But after 5-10 seconds of that, everything is back to normal.
Prior to 8.3 the iPod mode would take a good 20 secs to connect, but then everything would play normally. Now, with 8.3, it won't connect at all.
I don't have any problems with BT connections to other speakers, so maybe this is a Pioneer problem?? Anyone else having this same problem?

Apple is messing with car connectivity for the new car functionality. The "updates" are breaking iPod mode on multiple vehicles. iOS 8.4 Beta 1 is even worse. Connects fine but most functionality is broken.
See this thread:
ios 8.3 update, now phone can't connect to car stereo

After updating to IOS 7.0.6 my iPhone 5 wont connect to my car stereo.

Last night i happily listened to my iPhone through my car stereo, got home, updated to the new IOS 7.0.6 and went to bed.
Having got into my car this morning, i plugged in my phone to find that it would not connect and the car stereo just kept searching. I tried unplugging, waiting a while, turning the adaptet round, waititng again juste in case the connection wasnt good but to no joy. All i can put it down to is the update...
Any help Apple????

My problem exactly! With Iphone 4! The updated phone will not connect, the other Iphone 4 not running this latest update works fine! Come on Apple!! Need a fix yesterday!

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

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.

(GENIUS) Connecting iTouch to Car Stereo Head Unit

Ok
This one is for all of you wearing those black Genius T-Shirts
I have an iTouch
I am connecting it to my Pioneer DEH-6600 car stereo head unit
I have connected it using the Pioneer CD-IB100 iPod Adapter
Everything is working fine
Though I an only control my iTouch through the head unit controls
And would prefer to control it from the iTouch directly
Though when I start it up
The screen immediately locks to show iTouch Connected to an Accessory
When I push the menu button
The main menu comes up
But when I select Music
I goes back to the locked screen showing iTouch Connected to an Accessory
Is there anyway to bypass this so that I can control the iTouch directly rather than from the head unit

The method used to recognize the device has a shortcut to improve the connect time. So after the update to iOS4, the host device still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device. The client device ie. Your iPhone with iOS4, must fool the host device ie. Your car stereo, into believing that 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 yup 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 stars 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 stereo and iPhone to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.

After upgrade to ios 6 usb connection problems with car stereo

Hi Everyone,
after ios upgrade to ios6 i am not further able to use the iPhone 4s as music device - having usb connection problems ("not readable"). I am sure, that the upgrade ist the culprit; worked fine before. My car stereo is built in a Volvo XC 60; the device is connected via the standard usb cable by apple.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Connecting to alpine car stereo

I connected my ipod nano to my Alpine stereo and it worked nicely ( once ). The next time I got in the car, it wouldn't play. The ipod said ok to disconnect, but the stereo seemed to be playing music, I just wasn't getting any sound out of the speakers. When the ipod is connected to my stereo shouldn't it be saying "do not disconnect?"
I am so frustrated. I don't know if I have to set something on the ipod or what. My car stereo reconizes that the ipod is hooked to it and it even displays the names of artist I have on my ipod, it just won't output sound. I really think it has something to do with the ipod saying ok to disconnect. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Does it normally say Do Not Disconnect? Usually when the iPod is connected to a car system, it displays OK to Disconnect. That part seems to be normal.
Disconnect your iPod from the system and reset it...
Resetting iPod
Now connect it back up. Does it work? You may also want to try resetting it while it is connected to the stereo.

Xperia Z3 compact won't connect to Sony car stereo with usb

Hi, To my dissapointment my Z3 won't connect to my Sony car stereo via USB at all, it seems it is uncompatable whereas my iPod does no problem.. Any help with this?

Most cars have an AUX connection which connects to the headphone jack and to AUX is also a headphone jack so a double ended 3.5mm audio jack which is for phones where as the USB connection is designed for dedicated mp3 style devices like your ipod

Connecting to my car stereo via bluetooth?

Hi guys,
Considering getting an iPhone 3G, but before I do so, will I be able to use it with my car stereo to talk hands free with?
Thanks

It should work if your stereo supports the hands free protocol.

Why can't my g3 work with my car stereo while connected with the usb cable? It works via the bluetooth, but I get no song info on the radio.

Any ideas?

Thank you for reaching out to us, jmush. There are so many options to listen to music from cars nowadays. It's awesome and really convenient. Unfortunately, some features may not work correctly due to software both from devices and headunits. While, bluetooth can display your phone name and contacts, it may not display song ID3 tags, etc.
With regards to plugging it in via the USB cable, you can try setting your phone to storage mode, and the headunit may be able to read stored music found in your phone, but it may not be compatible. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-113331/

TS3581 why does siri use the INTERNAL speaker of my iphone 5 and ipad 3 while connected to my car stereo, instead of my car's speakers like all other audio functions? Isn't that the whole point of Siri? I can't hear her at all. useless.

this is so frustrating. I can't hear the responses over the road noise so instead, I must look at the screen and read her responses (Safety first, right). Why just siri? all the other functions output audio through my car's speakers, but someone decided to make siri even MORE difficult to use??? Please apple, if this is a glitch, can you add it to the list and get siri working and fix this safety issue before someone dies?

I think apple doesn't support using siri while driving.
Cause it can distract you from driving.

TS3581 When using iOS 6.1.3, I can connect iPhone 4/5 to JVC KW-AV50 car stereo system using cable (30 pins / lightning). After upgrade to iOS 7, those iPhones can not connect to the car stereo. I am using original cable. Is there any suggestion or work a

On iOS 6.1.3 this can be done without any problem. I have an iPhone 4 that was working perfectly for this function using iOS 6.1.3. After upgraded to iOS 7 / 7.0.2, the iPhone does not show any error on the screen.

This is a user-to-user forum: you aren't talking to Apple here.
I do sympathize with your situation: you are among many for whom upgrading is impracticable, but who are dependent on MobileMe facilities which will be withdrawn next June.
As you say, you will need 10.7.2 to access iCloud on a Mac, and iOS5 for mobile devices.
I can't offer you any easy solutions, but this list may at least clarify the exact situation for you:
Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery. will continue to work as before until next June.
You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

Bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

Hi,
I have a N8-00, with the current belle software on it.
With my car Bluetooth it will connect and function properly when I first add the device (N8) to the car Bluetooth, but if I turn the ignition off and then back on again it won't pair, if I try to manually do it, it just comes up with error without a code.
Deleting the device and trying to re-pair it wont work unless I restart my phone, and I am unable to turn Bluetooth off on my phone until after restarting it.
This is getting very frustrating.
Please help!!
