Can't control iphone via car dashboard anymore

I have a 2014 Hyundai Accent that has an iPod USB connector.  Until about a few days ago I was able to play things using the dashboard of the car.  All of a sudden now, when I plug in the iPhone nothing will play.  I have to manually press Play on the iPhone itself to get it to play or switch songs (as you might imagine this is very bad as I can't do this while driving).  If I press the "Seek" button on the dashboard, it will skip through the music but it won't actually play it, and when I select a Podcast or a song, it will display in the dashboard console but won't actually play unless I start it from the iPhone itself.  I can control the volume and change tracks but it seems like it's not recognizing it.
This doesn't seem to be a thing with the car, since it was working fine up until a few days ago, but I'm not sure if I accidentally hit something or turned some feature on/off on the phone that's stopping this. 
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, The Ruby Warlock.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
I understand that you are unable to control your iPod via your car controls.  I have experienced this issue myself and forcing all open applications, restarting your phone may resolve this issue.  Make sure to try additional cables as well.  If this issue persists, try the remaining troubleshooting steps in the second article below.

  • Can I control iPad via iPhone?

    I want to live broadcast church services over 4g AT&T network.  I am using qik video and/or ustream.com. Is there an app I can use to control recording functions of the iPad from my iPhone a few feet away?

    I've tested it with ustream and qik.com and it works fine.  Hi Def.  We are an outdoor church at the beach (www.beachsidechurch.com).  My problem has been a lack of WIFI in this immediate area.  The main reason I got the 4g ipad was for this very purpose.
    I've got the setup with an ipad mount pointing at me.  I just want to be able to turn record on and off remotely.
    Thanks

  • How can I control iPhone without touchscreen?

    I want to control the iPhone without using the touchscreen. Specifically, I want a custom app to receive simple commands through pushing of  3 or 4 external buttons.  I understand this can be done through the dock pins 12 and 13.  I think I would need a microcontroller that would then send input to the app.  I just dont understand the technical issues or possiblities with this approach.
    Another idea is to use bluetooth connectivity.  Once again, 3 or 4 buttons sending 3 or 4 differnet commands to the app.  I just want to be able to scroll through options in the app or change a few settings.   Once again, not sure of the technical issues or possiblites with sending input to apps via bluetooth.
    For example, my app is a stopwatch.  I want one button to start the timer, once button to record laps, one button to scroll through specifics of each lap once completed, and one button to stop the timer.  
    I also need to understand if I can disable the screen lock so I can avoid the SLIDE TO UNLOCK since I wont be able to access the touchscreen.
    I think I will need to jailbreak the phone or work with Apple on hardware accessiblity but I'm just trying to figure out how to accomplish this.    

    I also need to understand if I can disable the screen lock so I can avoid the SLIDE TO UNLOCK since I wont be able to access the touchscreen.

  • Can't pair iPhone via Bluetooth

    Hey Guys,
    I have a new 11" Air which is incredible but for the life of me I can't get Bluetooth pairing to work with my iPhone 4 so I can tether.
    It pairs the device in System Preferences but I try to connect them I get to errors.
    If I connect from the MBA I get an out of range error and If I connect it from the iPhone I get a message saying that the device is not supported - and it prompts me to remove the device from the Phone?
    Both devices are up-to-date and I have bluetooth working with the iPhone and my MBP.
    Tried resetting PRAM but still no luck.
    Any ideas?

    Hello everyone,
    same problem: brand new Macbook Air 11" and Iphone 4 with 4.2.1 and can't connect via BT. I had tried before with a simple Nokia that connected seamlessly with my first generation Macbook (2006), so I assume there's an issue with BT on the Air. I have tried deleting the files Scott was indicating, but still no luck.
    Tethering is solved via USB, but it would be nice to be able to use BT as well, for the times I don't have my cable with me and also simply because it's there and it doesn't make sense for it not to work. Has Scott's workaround delivered results for others?
    I hope someone at Apple reads this and that they'll solve the issue in a future software update.

  • Can I control iTunes via the the remote on multiple iOS devices at the same time?

    Hi, I know this is probably a no brainer but I have an iPad and an iPhone on one apple id both with the remote app on them. Problem is the app only seems to run on my iPad at the moment! Ideally it would run on both and on a third iPhone (my wifes and different apple id) at the same time so that we could all control the music... Is it possible?

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"? Ones with a green checkmark are solved.

    I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

    I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

    Right click on your device under Portable devices and click on Uninstall and when the uninstaller box pop ups select delete the driver and click OK. Now click on Scan for hardware changes on top of the page and see if you get apple mobile device support driver under USB Devices and if not then disconnect your device from the computer and try to connect it to a different USB port and check also open control panel and select Apple Mobile Device  Support from the List and Click on Repair and check. If still the device is not showing under USB then uninstall the following services from your computer.
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if unable to uninstall ignore and move to next)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Restart your computer once after the uninstallation is completed and then download latest version of iTunes from http://WWW.apple.com/iTunes/download
    Locate the iTunes setup file and right click the file and run the installation file as Administrator and let the installation complete.
    Then check if your device gets deteced in iTunes and if still the device is not detecting in itunes then go to device manager and see under Usb if you can see Apple Mobile Device Support Driver and continue with the step. 5 of above given link in my previous post.

    Note: when installing the drivers keep the iTunes closed till the drivers installation is completed.

    Please stop posting in ALL UPPER CASE; it is considered SHOUTING, is harder to read, and is considered rude.
    If you have not yet done so unpair the car kit from the phone, or better yet reset it completely, Forget the car kit in the iPhone, and pair it anew.
